I'm no longer sure what that version is, I've seen so many different ones.

Was that "the final cut"? I thought he should have cut some more. (The French plantation scene makes no sense to me and slows the film down a lot.)

It's already 31 in the US. I'd say reactive and not insane. BTW I'm 77 and at an Ellington conference 2700 miles from home and worrying about getting back. Not sure it's that funny.

I think he kills on the on the 1960 European tour and keeps up with Trane better than Miles does.

Wow that's a rarity. Of course it's not all by EKE>

I liked the show but the pedant in me wants to point out that there were some factual errors (sometimes of omission) e.g. Francis had already been on the cover of the Black Hawk Lps when Someday My Prince was released, and they completely ignored In A Silent Way in order to make it seem that Bitch's Brew was the first electric record.

I think Shazam wouldn't work with airchecks-- needs to have been on a released record. But what do you do for instrumentals?

Apparently Randy Newman on piano.

Great venue. I think I've seen all of his concerts there since I've lived here except one. I stupidly missed the one where he recorded Sangam, a record I love. Ran into him once on the beach and he confirmed that when I saw him in Toronto 50 years or so ago he had Paul Motian on drums in place of Jack Dejohnette.

Also you can't seem to get both halves of the concert without buying Lps which I don't want.

So glad to hear that.

As I just said elsewhere, Vol 9 has some things not found elsewhere. (I didn't realize that Philippe, whom I know, had been involved.) I didn't know about the Rutgers and NYC library collection. IS it possible to hear them? Any numbers not recorded elsewhere?

Vol 9 of the Christian set has somethings not found anywhere else. (Or at least wasn't when released.)

There was a brief interview with Gil Evans that I've never seen before. I wonder how long the whole thing is and what its provenance is.

I've been working out to them recently.

Loren Schoenberg has posted the following on Facebook: How many of you would be willing to write an email urging the Benny Goodman Estate to permit the National Jazz Museum in Harlem to issue the Bill Savory Goodman material? That material includes sessions with Charlie Christian (though no songs not found elsewhere).

I thought that book was great and remember that passage as one of the highlights for me. BTW I heard Levitin speak on an entirely different topic. he's a very smart dude.

Two drummers, a tuba and a sax-- what's not to like? And the title is really funny when you see the names of the songs. But why's this on Impulse?

Yes.

Many years ago I saw the Pina Bausch group perform 7 Deadly Sins. No idea who was singing or in what range but it was good.

64 years ago I was in junior high and the principal of my school organized a minstrel show. This was in a city in Eastern Canada of about 15,000 people in which there were about 5 Black families. There was a tradition of minstrel shows there with the local Y's Mens Club doing a yearly one called The Smokey Mokes. (It included at least one Black member who performed in Black face. ) IIIRC ours was a traditional minstrel show with a large chorus singing old songs of the kind barbershop quartets might sing. Seated in the front were myself in the center with other students in Black face on both sides of me doing old bad jokes. I don't think we thought of it as having anything to do with actual Negroes (as we would have called them at the time) but rather as referencing some fictional fantasy world. It didn't make much of an impression on me at the time and I don't remember any of the jokes though I do remember some of the songs. (e.g. I'll Take You Home Again Kathleen.) BTW the most famous person from my home town was local hero Willie O'Ree-- the first Black man to play in the NHL. I wish I knew more about the history of Minstrel Shows; especially Black Minstrel Shows. It now seems to me that there is often (maybe always) some condescension in the appropriation of language and tropes from another culture even in, for example, many of the lyrics of Hoagy Carmichael. But taken to the extremes it would mean that non-Jews shouldn't use the word "chutzpah".

I bet I'm the only person here who's actually been in a minstrel show. I wasn't in Blackface though-- I was the interlocutor.

So I was confirmed as registered but I was probably too honest when they asked why I wanted access to this tape. I said I might post it on a jazz forum and they rejected my request.

Met him through Douglas Adams. Now they're both gone.
