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.

Is there a discussion of the Blakey anywhere? If not, has anyone here heard it and how is it?

2 questions: Does anyone know how many songs from the Goodman jam session there are in the collection? And what songs are the 2 great Pres solos from?

About 60 years ago I saw Milt Buckner with a large band at a club called The Black Bottom in Montreal but I can't remember who the leader of the band was.

I saw Don Newcom at a jimmy Smith club show. I thought it was Sonny Rollins till Jimmy introduced him.

I'm getting ads from this label on Facebook. Is there anything they've released that I should buy? Who are they and how good are their recordings?

Me too.

I had a girl friend many years ago who only owned one jazz record and this was it. I didn't know about this but bought it (cheap) on Amazon for Pee Wee. It's great. Thanks for the recommendation. A weird brain fart: for years I remembered that in my home town, which only had one radio station, it not only played cover versions of early rock and roll (Pat Boone instead of Little Richard) but a cover of Buddy Knox's Party Doll by Muggsy Spanier. I recently mentioned this to a knowledgeable friend and he pointed out that it was Wingy Manone who'd done a cover of Party Doll. I checked it out on Lord and he was right. Now I'd never heard of either trumpeter at that time so when did I do the transference?

IIRC (and I often don't) he was on a Mose Allison tribute record along with Georgie Fame and Van Morrison.

IIRC (and I often don't) the only known footage of Brownie is from the Soupy Sales show. Perhaps that's why they invited him.

Lester's later playing?

IIRC they named both of them as "inspirations" for the film on the poster! (At least in the US)

Am I the only one who doesn't like his playing in Round Midnight? I think that film has a lot to do with why he became more famous than Stitt. IIRC when I started listening to jazz in the late '50s early '6os Stitt was the more famous of the two. BTW I do like Dexter's earlier work especially Go! I saw him once walking through LAX all by himself carrying his saxophone and looking very distinguished.

I have in movie theaters. It's great. I know there are some Blu rays being redone in Dolby. Atmos but I haven't heard any yet. Also I suspect you need special speaker placement (and extra speakers).

Even in the movie OP gets special billing. Was he that famous (or appreciated)?

Who else was in the group? (Not Monk, I presume.)

Ted Gioia tweeted that "Old Time LA jazz people who were on the scene in 1945 told me this was the first genuine bebop band to play on the West Coast. It shook up the local players and paved the way for Bird and Dizzy to play Billy Berg's a few months later." Sort of echoes Scott DeVeaux's emphasis on the importance of Hawkins to BeBop. Interesting that they give billing to OP. (btw is it ok to quote things from twitter?)

SonnyMax who's obviously a better researcher than I am pm'd me the following: From what I could find, MOMA and TCM issued a restored version of the film in 1998 on videotape. This was the occasion for which a “percussive score [was] added”. Interestingly, I also found this in the NYT, dated February 4, 2001: “On Saturday February 10 at 2 p.m., the Newark Museum will screen one of Micheaux's silent films, ''The Symbol of the Unconquered'' (1920). The drummer Max Roach will provide the percussive accompaniment to the film he performed once before on television.”

You sure?
