I once met a post production guy who had spent half his life looking for the original Ambersons footage but eventually thought he had proof that it had all been destroyed. (Sorry I can't remember more of the details.). But what are the alternate versions? The only version I see on Amazon is the Criterion. I was still slightly involved with Criterion when we did the Lazer Disc version and I don't think we could find any other versions. Would the preview version be Welles' early cut? Do you remember it well? OOps I just figured out you're talking about A Touch of Evil. re; Robert Wises's participation in the re-editing of the film: I once saw Bernard Herrmann give a talk at the at the British Film Institute. When there were audience questions at the end someone asked him how he could have participated in the recut of Amerbersons. He responded "We thought it was just a film; we thought we were going to make lots of them." Given the history of both Welles and Herrmann (who didn't get to work on nearly enough films) it seemed both a poignant and ironic answer to me.

http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/BirdSessions.aspx?s=481122 Losin doesn't list any previous release of this material but the review makes it sound like the reason for that might have been Bird's playing. I'd still like it and will buy the book but I don't have a turntable. Is there a way to get a digital version?

Thanks. Maybe someday something from the 1962 sextet with JJ Johnson will show up.

I grabbed it. Yes. Even Peter Losin didn't know about it. (i.e. He knew about the existence of the band but not that it had ever been recorded. BTW this is probably one side of the record. Who knows, what if anything is on the other. ) http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Query.aspx BTW I've bid on it even though I don't have a turntable. Probably won't get it.

IIRC there a Quadrophonic release. the Gil Evans Atlantic release "Svengali". Anyone have it? (I think the only SACD release I own is Kind of Blue-- one of about 5 versions I have of it.)

I captured the audio. Does anyone know the date? It's not even in Losin. Maybe we should all chip in and try to buy it.

I think the massive RCA Ellington set was the most expensive music I've bought but that was a necessity so maybe not really an indulgence.

Dos she know if she's in line for an early vaccination? (I hope so.)

Black and White label.

Is To Bird with Love mainly a picture book?

Funny these threads got put together because Dean Jones was one of the veterans I worked with (0n "Beethoven"). He apparently had been fairly wild in his youth but was now a born again Christian. I remember him thanking me for making a film that had no swearing in it-- something I hadn't noticed. He also told me that every one of the kids who'd been in the Disney movies with him had eventually had a bad time, often as drug addicts.

I just started reading it but love that his father was a Quebecois whose name was originally DuBois. Amazon offers 3 books by Chan. There's also https://smile.amazon.com/Conversations-Jazz-Journal-Number/dp/0938331256/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2QAK2E6MP16WY&dchild=1&keywords=chan+parker&qid=1609306404&sprefix=Chan+Parker%2Caps%2C230&sr=8-6 and https://smile.amazon.com/Bird-love-Chan-Parker/dp/2903577005/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2QAK2E6MP16WY&dchild=1&keywords=chan+parker&qid=1609306429&sprefix=Chan+Parker%2Caps%2C230&sr=8-5 I have the former, which I bought for $4.95 when it first came out. Has anyone ever seen "To Bird With Love"?

Headline is a bit misleading. He doesn't just "claim" it happened-- he's got a video showing it happening.

One of the greats.

IIRC so did Chan.

Years ago I remember thinking: if everything is available all the time do I need to own it? Well, not "everything" is available, but close to it. (Members of this board would probably find many things they want to hear or see are not on streaming platforms.) BTW Does that report mention radio? Has on-demand streaming cut into radio's audience?

Great. I've just listened to a dozen Breuker cds I bought from Michael. Not sure it's jazz but I enjoyed all but a couple of them.

Just opening Xmas presents and discovered my son had sent me a copy of this book. (We've never talked about it but he knows me pretty well.) Haven't read a word yet but it's worth having for the pictures alone.

I'll stick with the woman I've been married to for 40 years.

When my son was studying sound engineering he read a book called "Perfecting Sound Forever" by Greg Milner wherein, after a long diatribe against compression, he ends with a story about a guy who does acoustic recordings on cylinders and thinks that gives you the purest sound.

Dmitry gets political again. I guess he's only against it when it's anti-Trump.

That is lovely. I wonder if he ever did anything like that for Zappa (who I have to admit was my introduction to Varese.)

There's a lot of praise for Billy Hart in the novel "The Bear Comes Home". (Why am I writing in italics?)

As did Mel Gibson. BTW There's a director's cut of Payback which is worth looking for. Some completely different characters a many plot changes. But IIRC the book of the Grifters doesn't have the great scene with the computers (or lack thereof).
