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.

Wow, that's a great group. Under what name of artist(s) or group was the record released?

Seems to be being offered as a "Mosaic Single". I don't think they advertise "partials".

Uhh...No. Tell us about it.

Just listening to an interview on KCRW with guys who made a new documentary about Biggie and they start talking about how he based his rhythms on Max Roach's drumming. It wasn't clear to me whether this is discussed in the film but they went on about it a lot in the interview.

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-03-15/john-coltrane-one-year-pandemic-covid-love-supreme This took up most of the Op-ed section in today's LA Times.

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.
