I thought this was going to be a an attack on Obama.

Are there any revivalists of the '60s avant-garde, free, outside or whatever else we call it jazz?

Thanks. My cd is from the same session and seems to have 1/2 the cuts.

Can you give more information please. I've got a Scott cd on Giants of Jazz that's titled Tony Scott and Bill Evans 1957 but doesn't give a more specific date. Has 12 cuts. I think it's from a couple of sessions since Henry Grimes replaces Milt Hinton on some cuts.

I've got a Polydor cd of "Very Urgent" I picked up second hand a couple of years ago. Didn't know it was rare. The cover looks the same except that t it has the Ploydor logo on the orange sphere in the upper right hand corner. Just noticed that Joe Bpyd produced it.

I thought I read after the release of the small group box set that Steve Lasker was working on a Mosaic box of this material (Or is it no all owned by SonyBMG?)

Just edited it. Works now I think.

Paul Mawhinney, owner of Rama Sound Archive of Pittsburgh, is selling an archive of 3 million record albums and 300,000 CDs on eBay this week for a minimum bid of $3 million. Mawhinney talks with Melissa Block. (on NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.p...oryId=19174564)

Me too. Kept them both.

A quote heard second-hand is a long way to go for an insult.

Hey you share a birthday with Michael Jordan, Zen Archer and me! Happy B'day! (Ooops, maybe Zen's was yesterday.)

Hey you share a birthday with Michael Jordan, Blues for Bartok and me! Happy B'day!

Thanks. I became eligible for Medicare this month so there's some advantage in getting old.

He hadn't seen any pictures of Glenn Gould yet.

I saw Russell with a large band in New York in 1985 or '86. I don't think he had a regular gig then. This was a concert. Good stuff.

As the article says, I remember that he seemed to be on the CBC every night when I was young.

Coincidentally I was planning to post this morning about a sampler I found in Aomeba records last night. A Mosaic sampler! For $2.99 (used). Didn't even know of its existence before. Generally I only buy samplers if they're really cheap and they have at least one cut that sounds interesting to me. (Though I admit I bought the Blue Note "Three Tenors" just because the title was so clever-- I already owned all the cuts.) Though I have about 20 Mosaics I only had one cut on this disc previously . Anyone here familiar with this sampler? It's on Blue Note.

Looking on-line at the single disc of Porgy & Bess I can't figure out whether it has the alternative and longer solo on I Loves You Porgy. If it doesn't get, the box set. It's worth it just for that.

I think I only saw them once but they were often parodied in popular culture (e.g. cartoons) when I was young.

There's a lot of people on this list I'd like to see (Bettye LaVette, Irma Thomas, Elvis Costello with Alan Tousant....) even if they're not jazz.

I admit I went on a bit torrent spree a couple of years ago and added greatly to my collection of unreleased Gil Evans concerts. (Gil with Jaco, with Roland Kirk and a great concert withe Lee Konitz & the RAI Orchestra.) Can't claim I stopped for ethical reasons: the site I was using disappeared-- probably for legal reasons, though I don't recall there being any copyrighted material on it.

I just noticed that my posts are being spellchecked even though I'm using Safari as my browser. How Long has this been going on? (Until now I've had to use Firefox if I wanted Spellcheck.)

I didn't much care for the score either. One of the many films I watched for Academy Awards consideration kept using a riff that reminded me of "Birdland" but I can't remember which one. Don't think it was "Blood". BTW I really liked the score for "The Assassination of Jesse James". Liked the movie too.

I don't think you need them to get into Canada-- however you need them to get back into the USA. (Actually I think I read that Canada did say you need them once the US law was passed. Otherwise all those Americans who came without a passport would be stranded in Canada.)

Just listening to Abbey Lincoln sing "Porgy" by Fields & McHugh. Anyone know its provenance? Obviously it's not from Gershwin's opera but is it based on the source material? Or was Porgy a common name? (BTW It's published by "Cotton Club Publishing" so I guess it was written when they were doing the songs for the Cotton Club reviews.)
