But who wrote it?

The Basie/Lester tracks are not be missed but at least some of them are available elsewhere. The Basie/Prez tracks on the Savory Collection can't be found anywhere else. Get it while you can.

I remember reading an op-ed piece somewhere by a Black woman attacking Miles for his habit of beating women. I was floored when she said Kenny G. was very popular with Black audiences but what if was revealed that he was a racist. (She wasn't suggesting he was.)

Well here's the gist of it: Tony Green, on dismissing, denying, contracting and spreading the coronavirus

I immediately thought of this-- but then I'm old:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/10/coronavirus-denier-sick-spreader/?arc404=true I think this is behind a paywall. I'd like to just cut and paste it here. Is there a policy against that?

Gil Evans: though I think there were a couple of cuts on a Japanese box set of the Live from Sweet Basil cds that aren't on the individual cds. (Still looking for that box set.). And yes that includes the Johnny Mathis and Pearl Bailey recordings. Every studio session of Bird's and only missing a couple of the known to exist field recordings. Every known Miles studio sessions and most of the live cds. Every known Bix recording that wasn't with Paul Whiteman. oh Yes. Maria Schneider. Van Morrison. The Beatles. Every Prez studio session. I have more cds by Duke Ellington than by anyone else and I'm still missing a few of his later Pablo releases as well as a few singles made for obscure labels in the '20s and '30s. And many, many air shots. Don't think I'm missing any Coltranes.

All of this was originally on "Miscellaneous Miles Davis 1955-1957"JUCD 2050. Sound is ok.

Putting TCM in a sports package really sucks. For those who argue that socialized medicine is like having it run by the DMV I'd argue that right now the medical system here is being run like your cable company. (If that's too political, take it down.)

I think they're trying to drive people to HBOMax.

Glad to hear it.

5 years ago miles65 (is he still around?) wrote: The big mosaic starts with 1932. A complete Okeh, Columbia etc. set would be 4 CD's. If combined with the pre 1932 Universal material ( 3 CD's) that would give a almost complete 1925-1931. There would be a few loose ends left from Blue disc Gennett etc.

Well I've heard a lot of them and this is about the best with Charlie Rouse.

I was at the Montmartre later summer. Saw Bill Baron there but missed Dexter.

Wow! thanks.

I just discovered that Imagine the Sound featuring Archie Shepp, Cecil Taylor, Bill Dixon and Paul Bley is available on Amazon Prime tv. I think the way it works is that if you pay Amazon Prime it's free but otherwise costs $1.99 or something like that to rent. If you've never seen it you should.

Does anyone know where (or how) one can hear it at the right speed?

IIRC he was popular enough to be on the cover of Time Magazine a couple of years before Time Out was released.

I knew the chronology but thought I had read that Coogan partly got the role because there was a bit of Tony Wilson in Alan Partridge. I probably should have written my usual: "IIRC (and I often don 't)... "

IIRC I've read that Alan Partridge was based on the guy he plays in 24 Hour Party People.

I loved 24 Hour Party people but probably because it was my introduction to Steve Coogan. Friend of mine double billed it with Control at a cinema he ran.

Good one. I think Tom's been ill recently so glad to see him getting some play (though I guess it doesn't really help).

Haven't given this much thought, but I think I'll suggest that my kids contact this board and see if they can find someone who will sell off the stuff and donate it to Jim to maintain the board. (Even though I often think it should be left to rot.)

Where do you live?

Anyone got this? I'm looking for the liner notes.
