Laurie and I at the Martello Tower where the first scene in Ulysses takes place. I think I've read everything by Joyce except Finnegan's Wake. Like it all but love Ulysses.

The first has too much sociology but is worth buying just for the chapter on the Blue Devils. The second is lurid but fascinating. Both have many footnotes that are easy to access because the page numbers they refer to are listed at the top of the pages in the footnotes chapter. Is this a new practice or just something I haven't noticed before (or don't remember).

Ndugu?

My wife just e-mailed me that recipe and suggested we try it. (Think it was in the NY Times.)

Thanks. I remember when that show was first broadcast. Then, IIRC, Columbia capitalized (no pun intended) on it and brought out an album with a similar title. I didn't realize it wasn't his first on Columbia.

Were they in Chico Hamilton's quintet together? Didn't this lead to a a contract and record from Columbia records?

I saw him once at a club shortly after I moved to LA in 1980. Then I ran into walking on my street after I moved to Santa Barbara. Turns out one of my neighbours had once been his manager. This was shortly before he died.

Then it is indeed a gorgeous package-- most gorgeous of the series.

Someone actually published this?! How did you find it? Google stupid uses of "roughly"?

Was going to ask that. So it's the same package as the original release. Or is this leftovers from the original release?

I think this got more attention than Vol 1 because of when it came out and because of the cover drawing. And then The Stones covered Love in Vain......

Love that song. Maybe because it references my late friend Zalman but also because even James Michener was impressed by "Busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted."

Like Fred Zinnemann, he had no distinguishable style or themes. Just great story telling skills.

For some reason, amidst all the shit going down, this got to me the most: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/03/868933655/the-louisville-community-who-loved-david-mcatee-has-questions-about-his-death?fbclid=IwAR1Lwtey-G3mLcvvKFovuD3Tb0lge1dh_G_T85j_IEEcDDQSeQ4yhaaf8I0 The reason there were demonstrations in Louisville at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Breonna_Taylor?fbclid=IwAR01_ivPdS9hzVhvF8-TZEvB2asKuR_4hlyxqwKyrZAZ2-n3IkUJo2MVfKk

Interesting: neither James M Cain or Raymond Chandler get their name on the poster. I've always thought that Curtiz was under appreciated especially considering he directed Casablanca.

yes!

His best record is the first one on Capital which was released a number of times under different titles. It has Everybody's Talking and the Dolphin's Song on it.

Good record.

IIRC there's a recording from that gig.

Much to my surprise it seems to be on Spotify.

Back in '63 or '64 when Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Cobb toured as "The Trio" I saw them a couple of times in Montreal clubs.

Are there hard covers now that just use glue? I guess I haven't noticed. And are there softcovers that are sewn? I should go look at my library.

That's the one with only New York band? It's better than the released version.

I think (don't really know) that it's not the estates but the original publishers who still have the rights if the works never went out of print. IIRC The Great Gatsby becomes pd in the next year or so.

What I meant was why are they just getting to Hemingway now? No wonder they're calling it long awaited. (Though personally I'm happy they did Hammett, Chandler and MacDonald before him.)
