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.

Yes to that. Teo created "It's about Time" and then Miles began playing it Teo's way in concert. Mile's head/theme was left off the record and never played again as far as I know.

IIRC In A Silent Way is not actually metal but is part of the series. (And OTC isn't.)

I typed "Lester Young " into Spotify to listen while I finally cleaned my room a bit and was shocked by just how much they had: not just all the Verves, Columbias, Commodores, Savoys etc but many of the live sets on Storyville and other European labels. Just as I was putting some books away I suddenly heard someone singing about "Barfootin' Time in Chinatown". I looked over and Spotify was playing "Lester Young on Old Town Records", a record tucked in between a couple of Prez classic albums. But when I Shazammed it confirmed that I was indeed listening to "Barefootin' Time in Chinatown" by Lester Young. After trying to figure out why Spotify and Shazam would make the same mistake I did some research on line and found that there was a soul singer named Lester Young who recorded for Barry records: https://www.discogs.com/Lester-Young-Barefootin-Time-In-Chinatown-Stop/release/8384647 I don't know where Old Town records came into it but here he is: http://www.45cat.com/record/nc852384us

Since about 40% of Americans are obese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_States), if you add in the other three chronic illness listed here you're talking about half the country.

These are definitely worth listening to/watching:

My late father-in-law remembered seeing Feldman as a child prodigy drummer in London after the war (as we old folks say).

I've read somewhere that it was originally supposed to be "Brown Skinned Handsome Man".

IIRC the Jazz Studio series was on Brunswick which in those days was a subsidiary of Decca.

I'm old enough to gossip: I attended a CHJB concert once with Benny Carter (how's that for name dropping). Someone was conducting (a white guy is all I remember). After about 2 numbers Benny turned to me and said "They don't need no fucking conductor". Graas was on Jazz Studio 2 also.

IIRC the first time I heard him was on a Braxton Sackville release. It was also the first time I'd ever heard a Moog used in jazz.

What was the Jazz Lab series? I remember the Jazz Studio series.

??

Ahhh. Include me out. What was the reason they loved it? Commerciality?
