The movie is a great Howard Hawks film but has so little to do with the book that the studio (Warner Bros.) later made a film that was based on the book. It's called The Breaking Point and stars John Garfield. And the Hawks film has the distinction of being (I think) the only movie to have one Nobel Prize winner (Faulkner) work on a film adaptation of a work by another Nobel Prize winner. (It seems to take as much from Casablanca as it does from the original novel.)

I'd like the Lester Young/Sarah Vaughn Town Hall Concert and the Ellington 1951.

I think I have them all except the Disney because I don 't like those songs. Did I make a mistake?

Ian Underwood (and Don Preston) were on many of the film recording sessions I attended. Nice guys and crack studio musicians.

Thanks.

Does anyone know a source for AFRS Jubilee number 1986-- the one with Bird and the Nar Cole trio? I'm happy with either an mp3 or a cd.

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.
