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.

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.)

Congratulations.

Listening to and enjoying the SteepleChase release of Stan's Party. Notes claim that 2nd song on first cd is "Lady Sings the Blues" by Alec Wilder. This is not the Holliday/Nichols song and I don't think Wilder wrote a different song with that title. Does anyone know what this cut is? (I did check online but can't find anything.)

I've never heard Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue before (believe it or not) but when it came on the radio this morning I thought I was hearing the intro to Van Morrison 's Moondance! Some of the changes seem the same too. Midnight Blue was released a couple of years before Moondance and since Van has always been a jazz fan I presume that he (unlike me) had heard it. Seems to me that Kenny has as much of a claim as Horace Silver has against Steely Dan.

I'll ask Mark Cantor. Here's his reply: I am not sure who the tenor sax is. Not Stafford Simon. Millinder's band was in a state of flux in 1940. He had taken over Bill Dogget's band, then incorporated some of Jimmy Mundy's men. When the dust settled the tenor soloist would be Stafford Simon, but this is not him. A mstery at present.

I'll ask Mark Cantor.

As was not dancing.

Are you saying that all pre-1962 recordings are pd in Europe?

Buchmann-Moller writes. "Michel Rupp states that this date is correct according to the Alladin files, which also means hat the rhythm section must be the same as in the previous session, contrary to what is said elsewhere on back cover notes and discographies, because Lester's group had the same personnel until October 1947.

Here's some examples. https://routenote.com/blog/music-now-in-the-public-domain-from-1st-january-2022/

According to the Mosaic box set and the Frank Buchmann-Moller discography that wasn't Roy Haynes but he did appear with Prez at a November 1947 concert at Town Hall which someone recorded. Unfortunately it hasn't been released.

Uhhh... did you happen to make a digital copy?

I once heard Benny Carter refer to the film score John Williams as "my ex-piano player".

Which John Williams?

Le Souk!

I've never heard of this record until now. I'd probably buy it just because I'm a big William Claxton fan. Are there many (or any) of his photos on the Lp sleeve?

I met Bruce Lundvall twice when using music from his labels in movies. We'd spend most of the time talking jazz and he'd send me records! Box sets! Miles when he was at Columbia, Monk and Bud when he was at Blue Note.

Nina Simone had a resurgence when one of her songs was used in a UK commercial.

That's funny.

Wasn't it originally broadcast live? I presume it was in tune then. I guess the kinescope made at the time was slow (or would it have been fast?)

I notice there are several of her Lps on Spotify. My late friend, Jim Monaco, was a big fan and attempted to have some of her then out of print records rereleased. Nothing came of it.

According to this there probably shouldn't be an "allowance for immunity via prior infection". https://www.multicare.org/vitals/vaccines-vs-immunity-from-previous-infection-cdc-study-offers-important-clues-about-how-best-to-protect-yourself-from-covid-19/

Great set.

I thought this from NPR was interesting: BEARDSLEY: That brought out violent protesters in several Dutch cities who set cars on fire and battled police. Neimanstverdriet says the government has handled the pandemic in a sloppy and erratic manner. He says southern European countries have done a much better job. NEIMANSTVERDRIET: I was in Italy over the summer, and they were very disciplined in wearing face masks and sticking to the rules. And they seem to be taking it really seriously. BEARDSLEY: Neimanstverdriet says the so-called efficient northern countries have fared poorly in comparison. And so far, the figures bear that out. For example, with similar populations, Britain has around 89,000 infections a day and Italy fewer than 8,000. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.
