I've even found soloists listed in Discogs. (Well, only once so far-- for The Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions).

Yes, as I posted on FB: In the one week I've been self quarantined, thanks to TCM and The Criterion Channel I've watched : Louise Webber's "The Blot", 1921 Josephine Baker in The Siren of the Tropics, 1928,( a silent movie with lots of dancing and on which the assistant director was Louis Bunuel.) John Ford's "The Quiet Man" ,1952 Renoir's "Toni", 1935 Three short films by Agnes Varda Private Lives 1931 Mrs. Miniver 1942 Renoir's "On Purge Bebe" 1931 How do I fix the above? When I go to "edit" it looks fine.

A Note from David Palmquist who built the invaluable The Duke Where and When site: Digital copies of the DEMS Bulletins were web-published on Peter MacHare's now closed A Duke Ellington Panorama and will likely be available again once his webpages are added to the website of the Duke Ellington Society of the U.K. I’m not sure how soon that will be. Since I need them for TDWAW, I downloaded them from the Internet Archive, edited them to remove the banners and such added by the Internet Archive, and uploaded them to my website. You can access them through this table of contents: http://tdwaw.ellingtonweb.ca/DEMS/DEMSIndex.html

I think this is essential. One of my favorites.

In case you're wondering why there are not enough tests: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/06/coronavirus-testing-failure-123166?fbclid=IwAR2Nyz-Z5Fz4AIzIyYdRIhfAAQ_ukCPwacOTUVbBBluvAPV1OnyyzZte548

I'm on my second pair. Can't remember how long I had the first pair before they died. But I find them surprisingly good for the price. Got mine at the Apple store both times.

According to Mother Jones this is not really from Stanford and not entirely accurate. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/theres-a-facebook-coronavirus-post-going-viral-claiming-to-be-from-stanford-dont-believe-it/?fbclid=IwAR2_KqLDQ2pOyQAhgUTgj7bks-NxxVa_1RYAtM3L0D0qdLskUKNlYkJaXwk

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.
