Holy shit! I just got an e-mail from Mosaic saying "This set is in the warehouse & ready to ship"

Me three. Otherwise it's the ODJB and Jimmy Durante. anybody here got any Scott Joplin? (Recordings, not piano rolls.)

I have a vague memory (many of my memories are vague) that I recently read the Allen's son owns kinescopes of many of the programs but wants a lot of money for them.

Youtube has a few video performances from this group cannibalized from a tv show. A great record.

IIRC in the early '60s London bookmakers were giving 1000 to one odds that man wouldn't be on the moon within a decade.

After a long exchange of info on the Duke-LYM list serve it was concluded that the concert is from Lebanon a couple of days later. The video is from Lebanese tv. Thanks for posting it. There's a book about it: https://smile.amazon.com/Satchmo-Blows-Up-World-Ambassadors-ebook/dp/B002PAPTMM/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=JAZZ+AMBASSADORS&qid=1587871724&s=books&sr=1-1

I was one of the producers of their first movie. (They were well established from their tv show by then. Fun to hang with.) I was much older than a kid when I saw this. Like the book upon which it's based it's quite entertaining. Nicholas Meyer's big breakthrough.

He also doesn't seem to understand that the public will have to pay for it, just like he doesn't understand that tariffs are a tax on the receivers of imports not the exporters.

Daybreak Blues by The Port of Harlem Jazzmen. But maybe Cheesecake by Dexter Gordon. (Not to be confused with Cheesecake by Louis Armstrong.)

He toured with Roland Kirk: "Brian Auger was a useful young bebop pianist with Tommy Whittle and others before switching to the Hammond organ in the year he made this tour with Kirk. In 1965 the Brian Auger Trinity was joined by Julie Driscoll, Rod Stewart and Long John Baldry to form the Steam Packet, a very fine live band who never had a proper recording session. The Driscoll/Auger version of “This Wheel’s on Fire”, a Bob Dylan/Rick Danko composition circulated on the original Basement Tapes publisher’s acetates, is on anyone’s list of great ’60 singles. Later Auger formed Oblivion Express and moved to California, where he still lives, aged 80". From: https://thebluemoment.com/

Kulu Se Mama.

Great story about Louis Armstrong House. Hope it's not behind a pay wall. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/museums/louis-armstrongs-museum-has-gone-silent-but-pops-is-still-talking/2020/04/13/3d6ef176-7cd8-11ea-a3ee-13e1ae0a3571_story.html#comments-wrapper

The dates were wrong on the cd to which I was listening. The correct date is from 1958 which explains everything.

I thought wrong. It's not on the Prestige box but I have it on at least 3 different single cds. "The Unissued Cafe Bohemia Broadcast", "Rare Unreleased Broadcasts" and "The Legendary Masters Unissued or Rare."

I second that emotion.

I think so.

I'm listening to a live Miles set from July 13, 1957 and while playing Bye Bye Blackbird he quotes from Leonard Bernstein's "Maria" not just once but twice. What's strange is that West Side Story hadn't even begun it's out of town try-outs by then. Did Miles hear it early because of Frances' being in the original cast? Did she bring some music home? Did he attend early rehearsals?

A couple of years ago I found I had a record entitled The Giuseppi Logan Project on my computer and couldn't remember how I got it. I knew noting about him but found I loved the record. (I admit it-- I thought he was Italian.)

Somewhere I own the earlier recording on which Paul Chambers plays the same bass intro as he plays on So What. but I can't find it because I can't remember what it is. Anyone here know?

You may not have the post office to complain about much longer: https://inthesetimes.com/working/entry/22470/mark_dimondstein_apwu_union_post_office_shut_down_trump_gop

You're right.

I broke down and bought the box (discounted a bit). The DVD is of the whole concert. There's only one cutaway to the audience and you can see me in it.

Was that in the late '70s? I saw him there then. Went with Jane Fair who knew him so we had a drink with him between sets. I also saw him with Tristano and Marsh at some place that didn't last long on Dupont street.

yes.

oops. You're right. It's The Cellar Door (which is packaged just like In a Silent Way) that isn't part of the series --probably because it was recorded before but released after OTC and they would have had to number it 7.5.
