Anyone hear any news?

I saw Sven Klang's Combo in a theater in the UK some 50 years ago and agree about it being the "finest jazz-inspired film".

Thanks for recommending this site. I just downloaded (via Bandcamp) Garrick/Herriot, The Harriott and a Tubby Hayes track (couldn't seem to get the whole record.). I was interested because I saw Harriot with Shake Keene (sp?) and Phil Seamons in the summer of 1964 at the Marquee Club.

Maybe we can transfer this to the "unissued sessions" thread.

OK: Reissued.

Bird with Gene Roland.

Miles Davis shows up briefly in Scrooged and has a bigger part in Dingo. IIRC He also appeared in an episode of Miami Vice in which Leonrad Cohen also showed up.

Obviously, Dexter in "Round Midnight". Archie Shepp in "Choose Me". IIRC Laurindo Almeida unbilled in A Star is Born. Coleman Hawkins in The Crimson Canary. Duke Ellington and band in Check and Double Check. Gerry Mulligan in I Want to Live and The Subterraneans. (along with Pops). Chico Hamilton in The Sweet Smell of Success. Shelly Mann in The Mann with the Golden Arm. etc. There are books on this subject.

Bord played there with JATP n 1947. http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/BirdSessions.aspx?s=470505

The 2 concerts had more numbers than Losin lists. (He shows what he knows was recorded.) From what I can reconstruct from various sources, Lady Day was accompanied by a trio which was augmented on at least one number by two Ellingtonians: Ray Nance and Jimmy Hamilton. I haven't found out whether Dizzy appeared with his own group as well as guesting with Duke's band.

I once thought I spotted an error and wrote to Lord. Turned out I was wrong but meanwhile he responded to me and looked into it.

I don't really know, but I suspect that Lps are more expensive to manufacture. Chuck, weigh in here.

Worth buying for the Royal Albert Hall concert on the 2nd disc but I like the remixed and newly ordered first disc as well.

Is it time to update the poll. (I guess that happens in a couple of days anyway.) Several people here seem to have had both doses.

This is not unreasonable, but statistically (I think) most of the people who have died have been over 70 by a large measure.

Got my second shot yesterday. I don't feel bad though I'm tired. Then again I'm often tired.

I get e-mails from Mosaic advertising theses things all the time. Something they call a "Mosaic Newsletter". Got the last one Feb 17.

And what about the Mingus/LaPorta record on which he plays?

I've read these posts quickly so perhaps I missed it, but no mention of Harry Carney!!??

I just heard that Claude Carriere a broadcaster, record producer and all-round great friend of jazz has died. I first met him in New Orleans at his son-in-law's house and we had all gone to see Henry Butler at Snug Harbor. Next met him at an Ellington conference in NY. Last time I saw him was in Paris but we kept in touch via the internet and I was often surprised to find his name on cds of great classic jazz.

70 degrees, blue skies and a small breeze. But before you begin cursing me, we're in a draught (though the foliage still looks pretty good).

See below. Yes! Thank you. "Aug. 26/71 'Country Club' Hampstead, England (UCS Benefit) ". Though I don't remember seeing this when I looked a few months ago. I was living in West Hampstead at the time. I used to joke that it was really East Kilborn.

It's interesting to hear his side of the story re: Chan. He has nothing negative to say about her.

I have a memory of seeing a Mike Gibbs band with Jack Bruce on bass in Hampstead but I found a site that lists every gig Bruce ever had and though it does show some gigs with Gibbs it doesn't show one that was in Hampstead when I was in London. I'm hoping someone here might know about it.
