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.

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.
