As is often the case, I'm confused. In the booklet for Discs V-V111 at the bottom of the listings for session Y (Bobby Hackett) it says "note: This session is heard in it's entirety and in the order in which it was recorded on Disk III." huh, isn' that what they've just listed for disc VI?

It's a great set but I like the Spanier with Pee Wee even better because, well, Pee Wee.

I don't think Ray Charles should be on this list. I don't think he was ever belittled anywhere despite his popularity. (I, of course could be wrong.)

The sound track (with many extra takes) became available on a Fontana cd.

IIRC Love for Sale wasn't on Jazztrack. It first appeared on Circle in the round.

BTW Peter Losin thinks it's not Bird soloing on Margie. I agree with him. (He thinks it's a tenor "probably Bob Mabane" .)

I think they wanted to lead off with the best stuff.

I once heard an interview with Benny Golson where he said Earl Bostic was the greatest alto player he ever heard. (Or something like that -- it was 40 years ago. ) The only radio station in my home town (which never played jazz) did play Bostic's version of Harlem Nocturne.

I find this true of nearly every book I've read recently.

It's a mistake: it's 3:45 and like most of the cd it's terrific. BTW The cd is now up on Spotify.

Great piece about Stinson that features long quote from out own David Brett Johnson: https://thebluemoment.com/2024/10/25/the-lost-genius-of-albert-stinson/comment-page-1/?unapproved=42579&moderation-hash=1f43a4ed4550a0617e96470226ef1935#comment-42579

Ted Curson?

Thanks. It worked just as you say. My box was in Secaucus NJ as of this morning. It will probably arrive at the same time as my "Bird in LA".

Oh, oh mine says "completed" but I don't see a tracking number and haven't gotten a shipping notice. Should I worry?

Hmmm I checked in at the site and see that I ordered Sept 25 but it's still being processed.

IS this the same Michael Brooks who (with Cuscuna) put together the "Complete Billy Holiday on Columbia 1933-44" set? I remember his notes on several other reissues.

But isn't Fletch Won the first one chronologically in Fletch's life though not in order of publication?

Wow maybe this will arrive before Bird in KC.

Wow. Didn't know about this record. I saw Perry some 60 years and was really impressed. IIRC I have one cd of his on an obscure Canadian label.

What is this record? What does CBC stand for?

When I first started listening to jazz in the early '60s I asked a friend what "mainstream jazz" was. He thought for a second and replied "People who used to be in the Basie band."

Who's that good looking guy with him?

I tried to figure out how to frame the jacket for the 2 disc Ellington Black, Brown and Beige but because it's a fold out, I couldn't figure out how. I guess I could cut it up and display all 4 sides. (The actual 78 records got broken when I moved to Santa Barbara.)

Don Was and the Pan-Detroit Ensemble. They played music by Henry Threadgill, Yusef Lateef, Hank Williams and Curtis Mayfield (amongst others). My only complaint is that it was in a beautiful small theater with no dance floor. (Some people danced anyway.)
