  1. 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.
  2. 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.)
  3. I saw Elvin there. Not sure it was the Jazz Machine. When was that?
  4. And he wrote "Dark as a Dungeon".
  5. 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!)
  6. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-02-03/commentary-duke-ellingtons-symphonic-jazz-led-the-way-but-what-then
  7. Just read on Lord that the Gil Evans session was his first recording on piano.
  8. Audio hijack is very good. Also is the streaming only just for the Newport stuff or for everything?
  9. 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.
  11. Masked and Anonymous 2003. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0319829/reference
  12. 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.
  13. I Want to Live The Sweet Smell of Success The Man with the Golden Arm
  14. I rushed out and bought The Bridge when it was new and liked it but now it actually seems a bit tame compared to earlier Sonny.
  15. Once the Mosaic was out of print Blue Note released this boxset that I think is still available.
  16. I think the first one I bought was the Mingus Candid set followed by the Mulligan. Was the Mingus offered on cd from the get go?
  17. So sorry to hear that. Condolences.
  18. That's often on back of photos that have been sent to a magazine for their use. The magazine pays for publication rights not for the actual photo.
  19. I wonder if there's footage of any other numbers.
  20. I thought it was worse than that. However if you have time check out that episode and see if you recognize the tune. He sounds more like Bird in the show. I thought it was a pretty good imitation of early 1950s bebop.
  21. Musician friend of mine said that on the Sundance Now streaming channel he watches a Swedish series called "The Restaurant" and in one episode Bird (i.e an actor playing Bird) shows up and performs a number that my friend didn't recognize. So I checked it out (Season 1 episode 9). and I didn't recognize it either. (BTW Bird was in Sweden in 1950 when the episode is set but I doubt he ever played a venue as fancy as the one they show.) Anyone here subscribe to Sundance Now? (You can get a free week of it.)
