Thanks. Checked the Wikipedia entry and realized that I've (falsely) remembered the Chandler ending as being that of the film. Checked the screenplay and see that I was wrong. BTW published screenplay has an addendum by Mathew Broccoli (sp?) that explains the change.

https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-11-12/wax-cylinder-dentist Great story with almost no jazz references but can't help but think there's some relevance. (And no, they don't mention Buddy Bolden.)

I saw Wallace at a local place which is upstairs with an outdoor patio. On a cold night (by Santa Barbara standards) the indoors was packed but the outside empty. Then Roney began playing and he was fucking great. I looked outside and there was a solitary man using the whole patio to dance to the music. I thought of joining him but didn't want to get that far from the fire.

Fair enough, but where did you learn this? I've probably read it but don't remember it. ( I can say that about a lot of things nowadays.)

Because the pictures and liner notes were so good. 512L2dsgeyL._AC_UY436_FMwebp_QL65_.webp Because the cd release doesn't have all the cuts.

Sounds a bit like a Hitchcock thriller when described this way. (Hitch did make one film, Rear Window, from a Woolrich story.) I've only read a couple of Cornell Woolrich books.: which ones most parallel Blue Dahlia?

IIRC Irvin Mayfield portrayed himself as a hustler on "Treme".

Were none of the Freddie Webster tracks released as singles?

I'll trade/sell/give it to you. PM Me

I've had two different girl friends who rode bikes and sometimes (fearfully ) I would ride behind them. That's the extent of my biker experience. (I just realized that they both had red hair-- though my wife has pointed out that most of my girlfriends, including her,had red hair. )

At the recording session for The Beat Goes On (which I consider a great song) after strumming the same chord over and over again, he stood up and announced to the rest of The Wrecking Crew "You know, guys, this song has got a great change." Then he turned to the recording booth and said to Sonny Bono "Never have so many played so little for so much."

There are two versions of this movie. They sent the earlier version to Armed Forces abroad. Then To Have and Have Not came out and Bacall's agent fought to have more scenes with her put intoThe Big Sleep . You can get both versions on the same DVD. Some people have claimed that the earlier version made more sense: It doesn't. BTW to me the book points to Joe Brody as the killer o.Owen Taylor. Brody keeps changing his story, each time admitting that he was with Owen closer to his death than in his previous story, and he does end up with the photos Owen was carrying. In the book she is referred to as "an intelligent Jewess" and someone has written a whole book with her as the protagonist.

When Amazon has it they want an insane amount of money. You can get it from the author at : http://www.stjamesinfirmary.ca/purchase.html

I've now read a whole book on this topic.

Lots of information here about obscure bands as well as more than you'll ever want to know about Saint James Infirmary. Fascinating read for us obsessives.

Thanks. So the sound was ok in the earlier incarnation except when there were big bands?

It may have been The Town Tavern I couldn't get into. After 50 years I'm not sure though I have memories (not necessarily correct) of what both looked like. I saw Bill Evans Trio and The Jazz Messengers a the Town. Not together, of course-- though I once saw Roland Kirk and Wes Montgomery on a double bill in a Montreal club. BTW you refer to the "original Colonial". Were there more than one?

I didn't get there until 1965. Had it changed by then? (Saw Earl Hines there once and also Monk. Tried to see Ornette but they wouldn't let me in because I was wearing jeans! )

I don't trust any Shakespeare critic born after 1603.

So this discussion is about a book no-one has actually read yet?

Or JJ Johnson.

Just watched this. Recommend it highly.

It wasn't, but it probably still hurt sales.

In the best of all possible worlds those cuts should have been included. But this is not that world: it's now apparent that many people would not be "confronted" by these songs-- they would just use them as another tool in normalizing their racism. One compromise might have been to put them on a separate disc with lots of warning. 50 years ago when I taught film I used to show Birth of a Nation. I presumed all my students were nice liberals and I didn't say much to put its racism in context. (I think I used to joke that the cross-cutting was so good that they would end up cheering when the KKK rode to the rescue.) Then a Black friend of mine came to a class and gave me shit for not saying more. She was right.
