  1. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-09-15/usps-crisis-survey-more-than-half-letters-delayed
  2. Is this the fist JATP concert you're talking about? IIRC Les Paul was there because Oscar Moore couldn't make it.
  3. Wow! For some reason the idea of Haynes with Monk just sounds great to me. Did they ever record together? (I know I could probably research it but I'm old and tired right now.)
  4. I saw her in a Stoppard play in London too but it was "Jumpers" from a few years earlier.
  5. His autobiography Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards: Memoirs of a Rock 'N' Roll Survivor is a good read.
  6. I think your percentages for 3 are wrong, perhaps not taking into consideration that almost everyone voted twice as they were asked to.
  7. https://thebluemoment.com/ Nice piece on Gary Peacock.
  8. This is a better explanation than I was ever able to find at Paypal. Thanks.
  9. And a truly great person.
  10. You can always find something on TCM.
  11. IIRC the first cd release of Handy is all alternate takes and none of the originals. (Well, maybe that's an exaggeration.) This Mosaic should decrease the value of that cd which, I believe, had become a bit of a collector's item.
  12. Is that the source of the second cd that came with the "45th Anniversary edition of 'The Velvet Underground'"? Those 12 cuts burn. I couldn't find the cds or downloads for a reasonable price but I just discovered it's (I think) complete on Spotify.
  13. So does that mean that a record released 49 years after it was recorded would not go PD for a total of 119 years? That's worse than the US Mickey Mouse copyright insanity.
  14. The cd combines the single Lp of the same title plus adds the "bonus" material. IIRC there was once a reissue double Lp combing the American and European songs Lps but not this extra material so no Pops there.
  15. "Lenya Sings Weill: The American Theater Songs." MHK60647. Despite the title it also contains songs from Cabaret and Mother Courage.
  16. There's about 5 minutes of dialogue between the 2 as Louis tries to teach Lenya about syncopation. It's on a Lenya/ Weil cd that Avakian produced.
  17. Sorry but I've lost the thread....which record is that?
  18. Sounds like it contains Louis trying to teach Lotte Lenya syncopate on Mack the Knife.
  19. Just so no one gets the wrong impression, what he said was "Yeah, I regurgitated. It was so phenomenal, so emphatic … It was more music than I ever heard anyone play at one time. I just couldn't believe how great it was."
  20. Wow! Thank you Ricky: https://virtualexhibits.louisarmstronghouse.org/2020/08/28/bop-bop-bop-the-charlie-parker-centennial/?fbclid=IwAR3MGi30YodBfRBOmAWoqas6jLqceEtvFpq2t8wddZEsiea7tKun86EFiz0 Here is all 45 Minutes!
  21. Can one pre-order this anywhere?
  22. Possible but he says it just as the style changes and all the other "visitors" play on the cut.
  23. In the notes to "The Complete CBS Recordings of Eddie Condon and his All Stars" Dick Cary is listed as being on alto horn for the session of 6/24/54 but neither the notes nor the discography mention him on piano. However on "Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gave to Me" Condon can clearly be heard (at about 1:12 and 5:10) announcing "Dick Cary", at which point I presume Gene Schroeder turns over the keyboard to him. (Actually it sounds like they might have had two pianos). Jus checked both Discogs and Lord's and he's not listed on piano for that date in either. Hey have I just made an incredibly minor discographical find?
