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.)

Are these from the Savory Collection?

NZ does have no cases in the hospital.

Good stuff.

I'm fascinated by the origins of Down the Road Apiece.

New Zealand. See above.

The first Library of America Hemingway! What's that about? IIRC The film of To Have and To Have Not is the only film on which one Nobel Prize winner gets credit on a screenplay adapted from another Nobel Prize winner. And it's so far removed from the book that Warner Brothers then did make a film that is based on the book.

New Zealand for example. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52450978

Can't you be positive without being serious? Most great jazzers used humour at times.

My wife said she also read that people don't get infected a second time : they just think the original infection has gone away when it hasn't. They feel better for a while, then not so much. But I'd also worry about who the healthy people are: If you take out the old (which includes people much younger than me), the overweight, those with existing illnesses, and smokers, haven't you excluded a large percentage of the population?

Speaking of the science: there are people (e.g.Thomas Friedman) arguing that allowing "healthy" people to get the disease will cause "herd immunity". But doesn't that require those who've had the virus to become immune, which doesn't seem to be the case?

IIRC he was using 3 bass players the last time I saw him. An idea I thought he stole from Ornette.

My degree is in Drama and I wrote my Phd thesis on a film topic, but I became a producer because a friend asked me to come to Hollywood and work with him. Basically nepotism but he wasn't a relative. Until then I had been an academic but always interested in film and working on the periphery of he business-- eg as a critic and writer and distributor while I was teaching.

Wayne needs a fundraiser?!! The health system in this country stinks.

There are parts of Just Jazz concerts in some of the AFRS Jubilee shows that were hosted by Gene Norman. Many of them can be found online.
