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?

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.
