Me too.

Maybe they'll use the tapes mentioned here: https://www.laweekly.com/everybody-got-naked-with-charlie-bird-parker-at-the-wildest-party-in-l-a-history/

There are 1937 airshots from the William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh and The Savoy Ballroom, NY.

Is that a woman? I once asked on this board and someone suggested it was Jimmy Rushing reacting to, and urging on, the band. (We may not be talking about the same thing.)

I'd go for the Savory Collection on Mosaic before it runs out. You'll only get 2 cds of Basie (with Prez), but the other 4 cds contain great stuff too. None of it is available elsewhere.

I read this and got very excited thinking it referred to the Miles sextet. Oh well.

It would be great if I presumed wrongly but after 60 years I've given up hope.

Shit. I love her work and once put her in a movie.

Here's another review: https://thebluemoment.com/

Review here: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/mar/28/floating-points-pharoah-sanders-lso-promises-review-extraordinary and it's now on Spotify. I first heard a cut on KCRW, didn't know what it was and went searching for it.

Great review of it here: https://thebluemoment.com/ and it's now on Spotify. with pretty good documentation of who's playing on each cut.

Is it possible to reactivate the poll? I expect that a lot of people have received the shots by now and I'm curious to see how many.

I have to watch that film again. The first (and only) time I saw it, I was very upset by how feeble he seemed-- including his playing. A few years before I had seen him walking through LAX, carrying his sax case and looking majestic. I remember thinking "There he goes: long, tall, Dexter." Everything I'd heard him play sounded very strong to me and I thought his playing in the film was not up to his standards.

Thanks.

Where did you order it from? From where?

Was Chappaque not available in the US?

Sam the Record Man in Toronto? If so John Norris probably shipped it himself.

Isn't that the Columbia logo in the upper left hand corner? BTW If Mosaic runs out of the Wilson before the Pops arrives they'll be down to 2 sets!

What he said. I once thought of starting a thread about what Bird records were not worth hearing but I couldn't think of any.

If you ever see this for a reasonable price get it. Since that's unlikely to happen get this:

IIRC (and I often don't) Brunswick was a subsidiary of Columbia, though maybe it was a subsidiary of Decca. Also, IIRC, the late John Norris had something to do with convincing them to release it. And (I think) the Charlie Christian twofer Lp. I don 't have a turntable but I kept that just because I like the look of it. ( I also like the extended versions of songs that our Chris Albertson created by combining the solos from different takes-- though I managed to digitize them so that I'm really just keeping the album for the cover. )

Think I've never seen this. IIRC there was a Columbia Teddy Wilson twofer that was released only in Canada. (No idea why.)

Did you know that Phil Woods' father was from Quebec and his name was Dubois?

My wife who's a big Chili Peppers fam is reading Flea's autobiography right now and she keeps telling me, "So far in the book he's a big jazz guy." I remember the Chili Peppers scrawling a sign honoring Ornetter when they were ag the Grammies with him. (Someone here seemed disturbed by that.) IIRC in LA Fea once backed up Ornette as one of his many bassists.
