Anyone notice that in the section on KOB there's a shot of Miles with Cannonball and Trane holding a flugelhorn? The photo may have been taken at a different session but did he ever use a flugelhorn on any sextet recording?

David Palmquist's note I posted above seems to suggest that the Duke Ellington Society of the UK will (eventually) host it.

Do you actually have it? It says it was in an edition of 200 and you can buy one for $97.

Probably true but I wasn't familiar enough with the earlier records to know that. Worked my way backwards from there and saw him for the first time when he toured with The Band in '74.

My son who is working at home says the higher ups are just to used to having assistants at their beck and call. They can't do many of the menial tasks on their own.

Yes: St. George's Hall.

Yes. And for some reason I keep saying Royal Albert Hall. I've been to both and should know the difference. I've got a cd of the London Orchestra on the Arts Association Label. At least I presume it's the same concert: March 14, 1983.

There's a Gil Evans Lp on Horo that's never been on cd. Also I think the two Gil at Royal Albert Hall: one on RCA and one on an English label. I learned how to digitze Lps just so I could digitize them and put the cuts in correct order.

I always liked it too. Made me a pariah with some Dylan fanatics but I wasn't a big fan until then.

I just watched Get Yourself a College Girl. Jimmy Smith is in it too. Laurindo Almeida appears playing guitar in the 1954 A Star is Born. I have a vague memory of someone of note playing piano on-screen in Bullitt but there's nothing in IMDB. Maybe Lalo Schiffrin who did the music.

Wife and I just had a Zoom meeting with friends in Toronto and Paris. It was great. They seem to have extended the 40 minutes for free.

I think that's where I taped it. (Then years later transferred onto DVD even though the tape looked like crap.)

I've always presumed it was because of the number of artists from different labels who were involved.

I thought it was James Booker.

I used to see him at LA Duke Ellington Society meetings (where, IIRC, he would have books for sale) but I never saw this book.

WE have a half dozen N-95 masks left from the fire season 2 years ago. I'm sort of embarrassed to wear one since we're told that they should be reserved for hospitals but the local hospital wouldn't take them because they weren't from an unopened box.

Is it true that there was a (no longer extant) show in which Chet Baker played some Bix tunes?

Given that's the basis for her article......

"Otis Day was born on September 21, 1951 in Los Angeles, California, USA as DeWayne Arthur Jessie." From IMDB. I don't think he was Otis Day before Animal House but after the film came out he adopted the name.

I suspect I didn't hit "submit" and then looked at the results later. Oh, well if we're all around in another month I'll try again. (I do know 2 people with the virus, one seriously ill.)

Well obviously not just Downtown, then. I think I first heard about his passion for Petula from Marshall McLuhan who was a friend of Gould and with whom I was studying in Petula Clark's heyday.

Uhh Not sure anymore. Sorry I'm an idiot.

Don't seem to be able to. Get the results right away.

It sure sounds like Ray Nance to me on number 11 (Delilah) though I don't think I've ever heard Nance with a group this modern and I have no idea who anyone else is.
