Hey I just ordered it from CD Universe (going through Organissimo Forums of course) and they just list it as "usually ships in 1-2 days" without mentioning a release date. Maybe they already have it in stock!! Let's hope.

What's that quote from Freud about "the narcissism of small differences"?

Mine are headed to the local trading block, and I'm holding out for revisiting these sessions till the new set comes out. Wasn't there a scheduled Volume 3 in that series that never came out? I ended up getting most of the later sessions anyway through the Chronological Classics. Well make sure you copy those 2 Rex Stewart cuts that aren't on the Mosaic set. (Correctly so since I think they're from before Stewart joined EKE.)

No disagreements here. But were those early discographies on-line their creaters would still get the props they deserve as well as some help. If they needed financial help they would probably get that too, but without the cost of printing they probably wouldn't need that much. As it stands now even a lot of hard core EKE fans probably can't afford DESOR. (I think I paid a couple of hundred bucks for it.) Mu guess is that the next edition of DESOR will be on-line just as DEMS which used to be a subscription newsleter now is. So your last arguement is: why should people who get interested in stuff later than you did get something free that you've had to pay for? And I can't answer that.

Over on another thread Chuck Nessa gave me some discographical information then told me that it was available in most discographies and politely (he said "please") told me I should buy one. I have bought several discographies on individual artists over the years including the 2 volume Duke Ellington "New DESOR", but genreally I much prefer going to on-line sites and wish everyone would post their work. My assumption is that no-one creating a discography is doing it for the money. If they print it there are expenses involved which need to be recouped. On-line there is very little expense and you can constantly up-date your work. You can also call on others for help. I've made my own very minor contributions to Miles, Bird, Mingus and Ellington discographical web-sites. On-line discographies can be made very easy to navigate. (I especially recommend Peter Losin's Miles and Bird discographies as excellent examples.) The New DESOR has an amazing amount of information in it but when using it I often have to refer to one volume to find the date I'm looking for and the other to get the list of soloists. (And at my age they're heavy as well as expensive.) Meanwhile DESOR is being constantly revised on Sjef Hoesmit's DEMS website, but only the revisions can be found there. I wish the original was there too. If someone doing research needs finacial assistance I'd be happy to contribute but in the meantime I don't really want to shell out for a hard copy which will be difficult to find and out of date by the time I receive it. Besides my books shelves are getting full. Anyone else have an opinion about this?

It's in most of the discographies. Please buy one. Thqnks for the info.I probably won't buy a discogrphy. But rather than explain why here I'm going to start a new thread re: printed discographies on the discography thread. You're welcome to attack me there.

Thanks. Where'd you find this info? Does it give personnel?

Probably the Winter or Spring of '62. Accorsing to one of his (many ) biographies he stopped in Chicago on his trip to New York to find Woody Guthrie. He met up with Kevin Krown and scuffled around campus for a few weeks.

How come no-one ever mentinons Bob's borrowings from Warren Zevone. Actually I think they're more an homage to Warren Zevon. He used lines from Zevon's song Absolutely Like a Martyr as the titles of one song (Abandoned Love) and one Album (Time Out of Mind). Then he began covering Absolutely Like a Martyr (Along with a few other Zevon tunes) on the tour he did just before Zevon died. Warren was in the audience in LA for that tour and was thrilled.

As well as offering "Sound Grammar" the iTunes music store has someething caled "Ornette Coleman on Unique Jazz". Anyone know what that is?

Got this response from Jack Chambers today: "I'm sorry I can't give you firm news about the publication date for Twardzik. There was a flurry of activity in March and April, when the publisher let me work directly with his designer, and we got the book ready for printing. Since then, I have heard nothing."

Is this a new book? I thought I had all of Hammett. (Includng a book of comic strips he wrote.)

"This is Your Brain On Music". Great book.

I saw Brubeck in concert a couple of weeks ago. (It's been more than 40 years since I last saw him.) I enjoyed it but found that his piano style (for better or for worse) was not as distinctive as it had been earlier. He played a lot of standards ("Margie"??!) and ended with Take 5. I'd have preferred The Duke or In Your Own Sweet Way. He had a good saxaphone player but I sure miss Paul Desmond.

106.9 and 88.3! Are you in the Santa Barbara area?

Happy B'Day and many, many more!

After reading 2 bios of Evans I'm under the impression that he was in pretty bad shape near the end of his life. But his playing is very powerful on Consecration and Last Waltz-- as if he was able to get it together once he got to the piano bench.

Composers of music are paid (via their publishers) per unit sold. The rate is set by congress(!) and I believe that it is commonly called a royalty. If the Muddy Waters publishers can show that Dylan is using a melody on which they hold copyright then they are owed money for every disc sold or downloaded.

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm not familiar with Trouble No More; which Dylan song appropriates it? BTW Has Dylan ever given credit for songs he's "borrowed". He does discuss doing so, but for example does Dominic Behan (sp?) get royalties for God on Our Side which borrows the melody of Patriot Game?

I sent an e-mail in which (amongst other things) I asked about the book. Unfortunately I got an auto-reply saying he's away until the 11th.

Uhhh where exactly on the site do you find the programs?

I thought it was "Saran Wrap"-- at least that was what the 2000 year old man said and he should know.

Unfortunately I think "Let's Get Lost" is oop. and has never been available as a DVD. I avoided seeing it when it first came out because it sounded exploitative. Now I wish I hadn't been so squeemish.

I ordered the new Dylan cd from Sony so that I'd get a free cd with one of Dylan's XM radio shows. This "Theme Time Radio Show" is about baseball. At one point Dylan plays a song about Don Newcomb, then follows it by explaining how Sonny Rollins got "Newk" as a nickname. Then he plays Rollins's "Newk's Fadeaway". About a couple of minutes into the song it starts to fade but Dylan interrupts, saying "let's keep going". After a couple of minutes when it finally does fade out, Dylan says "That's Sonny Rollins with his big league sound, covering all the bases". Several years ago I went to see Jimmy Smith at an LA club. I thought I saw Sonny Rollins in the audience and pointed him out to my wife. Then Smith announced that there was a celebrity in the audience. Turns out the guy I thought was Sonny was Newcomb!

New release date -- August, 2006. We'll see. Where did you get this information ? Last week I called the publisher to inquire about the book's availability and found that the phone number was ' not in service ' . I then called the publisher's distributor and was given a different phone number , but that number was also ' not in service ' . I guess I should try and contact Jack Chambers directly , but the only email address I have for him is at the University of Toronto from which he recently retired I believe . You can still get him at his UofT e-mail address. I was in touch with him last week. Actually I owe a reply to his reply so I'll ask him about the book.
