This is remarkable in a number of ways: a chance to see which instruments Gil used in different passages (though in one place there are definitely instruments you can hear but can't see), a great performance from musicians who are not physically together and a beautiful job of combining images. Also, at times the trumpet player does some very nice improvisations that differ from Miles's.

https://www.independent.com/2020/08/06/testing-remain-a-major-problem-in-santa-barbara-county/ This is, of course, only anecdotal but it does suggest that the number of infections is under-reported which would mean that if the death toll is accurate then the death rate from covid is lower than reported. OTOH what is listed as the cause of death if you've never been tested? In any case it sure sounds like it's a lot worse than the flu or even pneumonia. Says the guy who has reacted strongly enough to other people's posts that they've left the board.

In case you think it. can't get worse: https://www.wbaltv.com/article/baltimore-mail-delays-continue-no-mail-in-weeks/33535355?fbclid=IwAR0w1l0Q_rbkoG5eaFc5BkB0k3xr3ixdTCv0eW4eN_8fo_FnCbg8ww4PiVE

I guess Sackville doesn't count being Canadian.

I agree. I didn't want to argue with him but I would think that if you own the rights to sell recordings then you own the rights to sell downloads. It may be different with streaming rights.

Love those recordings. Missed the Mosaic but got the Blue Note cd that had some added cuts. Tried to buy a copy of the Mosaic booklet but they were out of it, so Scott (I think) sent me a Xerox of it gratis!

I bought my copy from Buell. Paid cash. Never asked about alternates.

I hadn't read this anywhere and I contacted someone (Ted Gioia iirc) who had written about the song but not mentioned it. Said he'd put it in the next edition.

IIRC That's the cd on which he says he and Glen Miller wrote the verse to Basin Street Blues.

IIRC it's Donald Westlake via Bill Goldman. Hard to beat that combination. And Peter Yates was a pretty good director.

i've been playing that lately. It's not entirely practical in that it's a little difficult to open but I think it's the most original package ever. Each disc has its own design as does the paper sleeve and the cardboard protector (what is that called?). A lot of graphics . I'm surprised that it was an edition of 20,000. Been listening to the Roy Bird (aka Professor Longhair) sides. Is this the earliest example of that style of New Orleans piano playing?

This so stupid because (as much as we might wish otherwise) the money to be made on this release does not equal the amount paid to the Sony lawyers working on it. OTOH it may be a result of the lawyers trying to justify their salaries during the plague.

Old Man Blues

Not sure what that means but great record.

Tony Bennett does a nice version accompanied by Bill Evans.

What! When did that come out? I think I pre-ordered it but I haven't gotten a notice. An hour later: I did indeed. Just went to the Artist Share site and downloaded it. Never did get a notice so glad you posted this. Three days later: Just got a nice notice from Maria. Apparently I ordered the cd and it's on the way.

Are "Peace Piece" and "Flamenco Sketches" contrafacts of "Some Other Time"? (I guess neither of them follow chord changes.)

Just when I thought I never wanted to hear it again. I like the way he interpolates "I'm Glad there is You" a couple of times.

We all have a pre-existing condition. It's called "life" and if you have it, eventually you will die.

I don't think I've ever heard the verse before. Some interesting stuff here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_for_Sale_(song)

. Thanks for posting it even though I somehow missed it.
