yes. Who he?

wow thanks so much for this. I don't think the last two exist in material form. They include everything that's only in the "complete" box. And it looks like the box is in chronological order of performance. With a bit (actually a lot) of effort one could recreate that order.

I was watching the new Criterion edition of The Girl Can't Help It last night and in an "extra" about the music in the film they show the 45 of Cry Me A River. Much to my surprise the label gives credit to the bass and guitar accompanists. The guitar player was Barney Kessel. I suspect he didn't get royalties.

Ira answered as follows (though he also says it good to go with your ears too). I worked with Benny and Jamey Abersold on this before Benny passed. The first chord of the bridge in this key of Eflat starts on: A flat minor going to G flat major in the next bar. Then B minor to A major to Dminor to C major, to Cminor to Fminor and then back to the top.

Under Hentoff did they make any bad ones?

I'll ask Ira Nepus who was a friend of Benny's and often played with him. Miles famously didn't know the bridge.

IIRC (and I often don't) the go-to East Coast rhythm section was Jones, Johnson, Galbraith and Milt Hinton. I think of Richard Davis as being from the next generation (maybe because he played on Astral Weeks) but I see he was born in 1930. And is still alive!

Howabout Elmer Bernstein? Man with the Gold Arm, Sweet Smell of Success and tv show Staccato.

Rose of the Rio Grand was always one of his specials.

Maybe even specify that they should be the same musicians-- I think no two recording sessions of the Miles nontet had exactly the same musicians.

I think it's great. One of the best Evans concerts I've heard on disc-- and I think I've heard almost all of them. (Though nothing surpasses the thrill of hearing them live.)

Well that may give me 10 or so years. I'm only 79.

Is there any way to get a digital version of Mark Murphy's original "I'l Be Seeing You" from "Rah!"? IIRC the song's composers made him redo it with the original words for all releases after the first one. (Same thing happened with "My Favorite Things".) I remember "I'll be seeing you /in all the old familiar faces/of the horses at the races/I'll see you." But I don't remember the rest and would love to hear it again.

I always thought I was only missing a couple of cuts because I own 5 cds of this material. But checking out Discogs I see that this set is 8 cds! I'd like to hear it before I die. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/7998220?ev=rb

Any of the "Django and his American Friends" dates. Were there many (any?) studio only groups that had more than one recording date? I just thought of one: "The Poll Winners"-- Shelly Mann, Ray Brown and Barney Kessel. I don't know of them doing any live appearances but they might have.

Think they have any Buddy Bolden?

I wonder if it will have any previously unreleased material.

I love this record!

I was watching the HBO show about the Lakers and in a montage about Kareem footage of Mingus suddenly appeared.

Saw that via Facebook and then was able to see the clip. Was it broadcast, live-streamed or something else?

I once got a residual check for 5 cents.

I don't think Disney has much chance of extending the copyright after 2024. Maybe if they were completely apolitical they might have had a chance to claim Mickey was a national treasure and congress should keep it under copyright the way Brits did with Peter Pan (the play- not the character) and the French have done with the Melies and Lumiere films. (As well as the work of various painters.) A film historian friend of mine ran into Bernard Tavernier who said "Isn't great that we've saved the films" to which my friend replied "Who are you saving them from?" Which is the way I feel about the various estates keeping all of the Savory collection from being released.

Is there a catalogue of what's in the Savory Collection? I couldn't find anything on the Museum's website. The couple of times I've been there I was able to listen to anything listed on the computer, but has that list been made available on-line? I think everything in the collection was listed and it's mouth watering. (I guess especially if you're a Benny Goodman fan. )

So I guess you heard "After You've Gone" at the Museum?

Thanks.
