  1. So that's not the version on Contemporary I guess. I wanted to use Sonny's version of There's No Business Like Show Business at the end of an HBO film we did called The Late Shift. Someone-- (the record company? Sonny? his management? ) wanted more money that we could afford. Turned out to be cheaper to do a new recording with Pete Christlieb.
  2. Wasn't the hit version of Alfie by Cher? BTW Somewhere there should be a separate track of the film music. Music, dialogue and effects tracks are usually preserved separately in order to do foreign language versions of the film. (Though, IIRC sometimes the music and effects are married on one tape. )
  3. I saw Budd Johnson with the Earl Hines Quartet but it was 1965 and they wore business suits.
  4. Never head of this. Is it as good as it looks? (I once was working with someone from WEA records and got him to make me cds of all the Witherspoon records on Reprise that had not come out on CD including the great one with Webster.)
  5. I thought hearing it in stereo was a revelation. I just wondered what purists thought.
  6. I'm curious: Is it in mono?
  7. IIRC (and I often don't) Getz tried to screw Charlie Byrd out of royalties for Jazz Samba even though it was Byrd's idea.
  8. When I first start dating my wife in 1976 I took her to see Steve Reich and then the Cecil Taylor trio on the same day. She fell asleep during the 2nd concert. Somehow we're still married.
  9. I saw her a few years ago in Toronto. She was great.
  10. I've jerry-rigged a cd player into my fm system. I expect it would be better if I blue-toothed it.
  11. Neil Young Joan Baez Tim Hardin The Who Jefferson Airplane The Band Blood Sweat and Tears
  12. You're probably right. I saw a couple at the Marquee but for some reason thought I was at Scott's too. (Jimmy Witherspoon, Mose Allison?). It was nearly 60 years ago so I've got probably got it wrong.
  13. I would have seen him in 1999 or 2000. But IIRC there were some Jazz 625 recorded there in the summer of '64. (I think that's where I attended one.)
  14. I saw Elvin there. Not sure it was the Jazz Machine. When was that?
  15. And he wrote "Dark as a Dungeon".
  16. Wasn't Buddy DeSylva a songwriter? And though he has executive producer credits at Paramount I don't think he was ever head of production. (That may be a mistranslation on his Wikipedia page which is in French!)
  17. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-02-03/commentary-duke-ellingtons-symphonic-jazz-led-the-way-but-what-then
  18. Just read on Lord that the Gil Evans session was his first recording on piano.
  19. Audio hijack is very good. Also is the streaming only just for the Newport stuff or for everything?
  20. Was Philippe Baudoin accompanying her? (I know he did somewhere in France.)

    Mingus in Mono

    They're all included in the Mosaic Candid set which was released on cd.
  22. Masked and Anonymous 2003. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319829/reference
  23. I thought they increased the power at night. For whatever reasons I could listen in Fredericton NB to Rock and Roll on NYC stations some 600 miles away while many other residents of town were listening to C&W on a station from Wheeling West Virginia.
