Ditto. There's also a couple of "Hit of the Week" recordings from that period.

Done.

Good music too. The Ellington boxes they did have added tracks. (Though IIRC Such Sweet Thunder still has the wrong take for Up and Down. )

I'm reading the Sonny Rollins biography and remembered seeing him at Hart House at the University of Toronto shortly after I arrived there in June 1965. He'd just returned from a tour in Europe and I remember him quoting "Home Sweet Home". Not sure exactly when it was but Bill Smith wrote a review in Coda and IIRC he did not like the drummer who I think was Ed Thigpen. I'm hoping there's a way to find the review on-line. (BTW I thought the concert was terrific. )

And without making your ears bleed. I heard the Herman band with Jake Hanna on drums in a club in Montreal and it was as you describe. I once danced right in front of the stage to a local band called Manteca at the El Mo in Toronto and thought they might blow me off the floor but without hurting my ears. Whereas for some reason when rock bands are too loud I need ear plugs but they still don't give me that lift.

Wolfgang's Vault has the 1975 Newport Avery Fischer Hall performance. I think it is the last recorded Monk. (He did appear the next year but I've never seen a recording of it.). Despite Monk's condition at the time, I think this is a pretty good concert. Certainly of historical interest. https://www.wolfgangs.com/music/thelonious-monk-quartet/audio/20020457-51182.html?tid=4855879

The Plosin site also says re: the first 3 cuts : " The identity of this group -- and the presence of Parker -- has been disputed, e.g. by Phil Schaap." I'm curious whether board members think it is Bird.

Listening to Billy on Spotify and see that most songs have 20,000 or so plays except for something called "Christmas Eve" which has 8 million plays and is truly awful.

Not sure from this article if they've bought more than the publishing rights for his compositions. Maybe the rights to future releases of the concerts he recorded or even his royalties from other recordings.

The booklet discusses Granz's late adaptation of stereo. Bones Howe, who engineered many of the Granz studio sessions, told me that he was so pissed at Granz's recalcitrance that he personally paid to make stereo tapes at some sessions. I asked if he still had them, but he said he'd later sold them all to Granz.

God wiling and the creek don't rise I'll see you there.

Friend of mine interviewed Q about a year ago. Said he was fine.

What's the record with Benny Carter called? I want that.

Just read this footnote: This record would call for the bow and some serious walking. Jean-Luc Picard, “Ray Brown—Double Bass Master Class.avi,” www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmoIvdWJpdQ. Jean-Luc Picard? Isn't he a Star Trek character?

David Hajdu has an essay in which he suggests that Eckstine was sort of black-listed because of his attractiveness to to young white girls. I like Hajdu but he's not one to let nuance get in the way of a good story.

I'm not sure but I think radio broadcasts are under different copyrights than recordings. (And different contract law.)

I got this a few years ago on cd and Amazon is saying a cd will be available again in April.

is it considered "political" to point out that the daughter of this board's founder is attending Michigan State where there was recently a shooting? She and her roommates are now safe at Jim's but shouldn't we be offering support to him after what was a terrible experience?

Our 3 year old grandson had never seen a radio until he came to our house. My point being that his parents don't have one in the house but they listen to streamed music all the time. Are there any cars that come without radios?

Haven't read that but it's a common practice.

Story doesn't quite make sense but I though Winna Winifried was terrific though she doesn't seem to have had much of a career: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935108/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

I've been gradually catching up with the few Renoir's I've never seen. Just saw the unfinished, and unsuccessful, "La nuit du carrefour", and even it was interesting. (It's way more unfinished than A Day in the Country which seems quite complete to me.

Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Am I the only one who hasn't gotten their's yet?
