The Last Man Standing has fallen.

Happy Birthday young man!

For several summers in the late '70s I lived down the street from the Alcazar. Passed it everyday. Didn't know that it had any jazz nevermind Duke.

I got this when it first came out on cd so for better or for worse I tend to think of sessions rather than records.

Yes. It's on the original release. Is it on that Lp?

I've always liked "Musings" perhaps because it seemed a precursor to the quintet recordings. And I've always wondered why there was never a single cd release of the December 24,'54 Monk session complete with dialogue.

I remember thinking it sounded like bad Santana. I like it now.

Lord lists Don Byas and Lucky Thompson both on tenor on "Let's Go" (I got Rhythm). Losin lists the first Bird and Dizzy recording of Dizzy Atmosphere as early 1945. (February 28) And who knows if it was new then.

Has anyone done a breakdown of the all the shots from different films? But as good as the visual montage is, the sound montage is even more spectacular it seems to me. this must have required a lot of work. Anyone know who did it?

Thanks.

How do you add a thumbs up emoji because I want to and I'm digitally illiterate? You go to edit and the emoji roster shows up.

Aren't live versions of everything always faster? (Anyone have suggestions for tunes that got slower when played live? And I'm not just talking about Miles here.)

And this is one I always thought of as "Pharoah Dances". So glad I got to see him live. Saw him a few years before with McCoy Tyner but it was great to see him with his own group. Is it possible that "Promises", his last recording (the one with Floating Point) was his biggest "hit"?

Thanks. I've been traveling and not always online. (And by "elsewhere" I just meant not on Lp-- I no longer have a turntable.)

Sad. I just read her autobiography Tonight at Noon.

Photo I took at a rock festival in 2018. And this is one I always thought of as "Pharoah Dances". So glad I got to see him live. Saw him a few years before with McCoy Tyner but it was great to see him with his own group.

Does it include "Cheesecake"?

I still like his album with Basie-- especially Lost in the Stars.

Is the Dizzy session available elsewhere?

How come nobody's mentioned Gil Evans's arrangements for Tentet?

httpIs://storyvillerecords.bandcamp.com/album/timmes-treasures Am I the only one who didn't know about this record? (Of course I've now ordered it.)

Ditto. And a couple of the later cd reissues too. (I think I own 3 different versions-- and I'd go to the mat for all of them.

Hard to overemphasize the impact of Godard on filmmakers and audiences in the early '60s. For most people it was Breathless but the first one I saw was Bande a Part (when it was just released) and it rocked my world. I once drove from Toronto to Montreal to see a Godard film. Like Coltrane he wasn't afraid to move on even if he left his audiences (including me) behind.

Anything that adds to very limited amount of Clarence (Lee) Shaw we have on record is fine by me.

Oh right. I forgot.
