On the Criterion Channel. Watched it last night. Good stuff.

Fun, but not as interesting as I thought it would be.

Thanks. Worked great.

Lewis I get, but how was Schuller a power player at Atlantic?

Yes, please.

Does the 1946 Big Sleep count as noir? I love Max Steiner's score. And what was the first Noir to use actual jazz in the score? The Man with the Golden Arm?

Just noticed this on Peter Losin's excellent Miles Ahead site: Another installment in the Bootleg Series (May 1, 2022) After many stops and starts, the seventh set in the Miles Davis Bootleg Series will be released this fall. It will comprise unissued studio material from 1981-1984, plus the first official release of the full concert from Montreal's Théâtre St. Denis, parts of which were included on Decoy. In addition, the Montreal concert will be released separately on two LPs for Record Store Day. According to Losin there's a recording from the bowl in '82. I saw him there on a double bill with Gil Evans around that time. I was disappointed that Miles didn't sit in with Gil's band. (Nor Gil with Miles.) If it was '82 I'd seen both of them previously and had liked them better: Gil in Paris in '78 and Miles in Montreal with the 2nd great quintet in '64 or '65.

It seemed to me that the rhythm of "Legacy" was similar to those of network television shows with commercials.

While watching the original Bosch series I was struck that Bosch sometimes played slightly obscure jazz records. Then in the new "Legacy" series his daughter brings him some of his favorite L.p.s: Ron Carter, Art Pepper and Frank Morgan. Well Carter is supposedly the most recorded jazz musician of all time and Art Pepper's "Patricia" is sometimes a plot point in the series but though I like Frank Morgan, I never thought I'd hear him mentioned on a tv drama.

I was at Sweet Basil to see Gil one Monday Night and the stand was so crowded that Hiram sat at our next- to -the stand table and played from there. His amp remained on stage.

Soon there'll probably be an NFT.

Yah, but I like that Randy Newman (Copeland-like) score.

Right. And IIRC (though I often don't) the label was started by one Archie Bleyer who led the Arthur Godfrey band.

He starred with Ethel Watters in a short film when he was 8 years old! He's pretty good too. I saw him perform in a night club when I was about 13. Talk about "anything else he wanted to do": what he wanted to do was demonstrate his quick draw skills. I was more impressed with Bobby Darin whom I saw the same week (I was on vacation in Florida with my parents).

Nice.

Thanks. I think I have all of them but on yet another label.

What dates are on "Pres"?

I usually get pretty good service but I just had a package that was supposed to be delivered today, arrive in Santa Barbara yesterday only to be shipped to LA. Now it's back in Santa Barbara. We'll see if I get it Monday or if it bounces back to LA.

The quintessential film noir.

Agreed. (This forum needs a "like" button.)

These sides were on a 2 Lp Spotlite set called Every Little Bit of it that had other (all?) Bird appearances from 1945.

It's interesting to the compare the 2 takes of "Started": we now have. I like the piano playing on the presumably earlier take much more than that on the originally released take. The solo on the new one is at times even a bit Monkish. Maybe the trip to the bathroom was between takes and it smoothed the edges too much.

Pops: West End Blues. Trane: Alabama. The Sound of Jazz: Fine and Mellow.

Yes.

I have a 3 inch Sting cd because it includes a long cut with the Gil Evans Orchestra which is not available elsewhere. (Yes I have the Johnny Mathis record with Gil arrangements too.)
