Directed by the always underrated Joseph H Lewis but I notice that the writer Phillip Yordan gets a "by" credit. Music seems a little on the nose for this thread.

"Hollywood" on Netflix. I have some qualms about the show, but the music is great. The score is old fashioned big band movie music a la Henry Mancini or even Elmer Bernstein. But it's the needle drops that are really interesting: Coleman Hawkins, Johnny Otis, Johnny Hodges, Brick Fleagle, Rex Stewart, Joe Liggins and some even more esoteric selections. I admit I don't always hear or recognize everything because they're often buried in the mix or only brief snippets but at times they carry the scenes and are played at length. (All of this is less true of the very first episode where the music isn't that interesting and sometimes anachronistic--e.g. Catch a Falling Star in 1947?)

Lost in the Stars-- the Tony Bennett, Count Basie version, though I'm sure the Lotte Lenya version would suffice.

What show? I know they're written by the same people but didn't know they were from a show.

It works now. Supposed to arrive on Thursday. People ordered before the e-mail went out? How did they know about it?

Don't Smoke in Bed, Smoke Rings, Don't Get Around Much Anymore, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning and probably everything else on that record.

Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most, The Man that Got Away, & I Cover the Waterfront.

I love that he played Dave Tough in The Five Pennies.

According to the Solo Flight page there are 7 numbers with Christian in the Savory Collection (if I counted correctly). BTW Does Rutgers have the complete programs on which these are found?

He does get co-writing credit on some songs so someone is owed money. And that's not just paid by the record companies. It's paid by broadcasters and streamers as well.

I just received my e-mail shipping but the UPS tracking number doesn't work. Oh, well.

I carry a mask in my car and use it on shopping trips but every so often forget to wear it when interacting with people. As soon as I realize it I feel terribly guilty because I could easily have gotten the virus, be asymptomatic and be spreading it to people I'm interfacing.

I think we're all posting the same article. I didn't notice it in The Times. Friend from Toronto posted it on FB.

I ordered it within hours of getting the e-mail and still haven't received a shipping notice even though my credit card was debited last week. I asked for UPS: is there some discount to them for sending all the California ones at once?

No-- a mistake. I'm trying to post a picture of a book but can't seem to get it to work via Postimage. I bought this book remaindered for a couple of dollars many years ago but and find i refer to it often.

IIRC (and I often don't) it's a jazz Othello. Not a film, but isn't there an episode of "Route 66" with Coleman Hawkins is seen playing clarinet? Yes! I just found this on Youtube. With Jo Jones on trumpet and Roy Eldridge on drums! (Excuse all the exclamation points. ). Ethel Walters was the first Black actress to receive and Emmy nomination for her role. Gerry Mulligan, Sam Butera and Joe Bushkin in "The Rat Race".

Here's some good advice about how to act when we do re-open: https://www.erinbromage.com/post/the-risks-know-them-avoid-them?fbclid=IwAR2Z37gXzJYnsa-54XKubYRcsbDrtZONILoA6DSRDWTnYxlXfbSs3y5BkH8 Nightclubs!? 7200 people in 5 of them!!? WTF! You can begin reopening without allowing that.

And If those right were available to the Brits they would have had the right to keep their lights on during the Blitz.

It looked that way but it was advertised as the restored version. BTW I forgot to mention it was written by Roy Huggins who created The Fugitive.

Yeh, gotta watch out for those old people and black people.

They're not to protect you, they're to protect the people you might infect. Oh, but you're the guy who thinks it's all a hoax.

BTW I recently mailed a DVD with no packaging but inside a card to a friend on a remote Island in Canada. Between the US and Canadian post offices and potentially customs I never really expected it to arrive. To my surprise it got there in a little more than a week. I'd just put a forever international stamp on it which I think costs a dollar. Maybe if you don't use cases you can send a cd and liner notes in a regular envelope for the cost of a first class stamp.

Doesn't seem like much of a hardship to me.

Or someone who had a bad case but survived.

I was hoping that you were going to tell me that "Brazilliance" had been a hit.
