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.

The Wall Street Journal's editorial was contradicted by its own reporting. Meanwhile El Paso is fine because its power company prepared for this emergency. I've also read that you can winterize wind turbines but in Texas they chose not to. (I'm too lazy to look up whether the turbines are publicly or privately owned but in California, privately owned power companies look to short term profit not long term safety. )

The index in my copy says Ken Hopkins can be found on pages 98 and 135.

I believe that it was vetted. i.e Savory recorded everything as part of his job. What's in the collection is what he thought was worth saving and he had pretty good taste.

I first learned of Hampton because of Howard Alk's 1971 film "The Murder of Fred Hampton". (Alk's own life story is pretty sad.)

"Judas and the Black Messiah" uses Kirk's "Inflated Tear" at the opening of the film and as punctuation several times in the film. (The credits suggest they use both the original recording and some re-recordings by the film's composers, one of whom is Mark Isham.) It also uses "Fleurette Africaine" from the Money Jungle Lp near the beginning of the film.

Sorry I don't meet your rigorous standards of diction. I guess I should have said they will not make potential income.

This music will not go up in value. Each year it is worth less as the fans for it die off. Eventually it will be in the public domain. (Unfortunately I will not be alive.)

I think I only saw him live when he and Herbie Hancock toured as a duet.

The Savory Collection material with Charlie Christian and Prez (not together) as well as their Ellington holdings. They're being held up by the rapaciousness of the Benny Goodman and Ellington estates. (Both of whom will lose potential income as a result.)

Chick Corea supplied liner notes to the Legacy reissue of Captain Marvel in which he says the RTF had already formed but wasn't getting many gigs so when he heard Getz needed a band for a tour he called him and suggested the RTF members plus Tony Williams.

Can we put the same post on 2 different threads? The Max Roach Quintet had Ray Draper on tuba.

Arggg.... You might try just going to the place you got the first one 4 weeks (or whenever was recommended for the kind you got) and showing the proof that had the first one. That's what they're telling people to do at Dodger Stadium if they don't get a second appointment.
