On Episode 6 of Watchmen there is a sequence that takes place in a club in an alternate history/universe 1938. On the wall there is a poster with a picture of a saxophone player and the name "Lester LeJeune". This may be the most subtle visual jazz joke I've ever seen. BTW the episode has a couple of nice Ink Spot cuts on the soundtrack.
I think I may enter the 21st Century and subscribe to a streaming service. Any opinions out there as to which service (Amazon, Apple, Spotify or any other) is the best for jazz?
I ordered it directly from Sleepy Night records https://www.sleepynight-shop.com/product/coming-soon-miles-davis-the-lost-quintet
Took about a week to get here and because of shipping cost about $21.
I've been pleasantly surprised. I knew so little about Herman that I didn't know I was going to hear some Ben Webster, Budd Johnson and Johnny Hodges on these cds.
And you can download it at Amazon. BTW I notice that some concerts by the lost quintet were recorded by ORTF so Sony could probably get tapes. The Lost Quintet would make a great Bootleg Vol 7.
Probably the 3rd or 4th time I've read The Big Sleep but this is really good. Every facing page is reserved for annotations some of which are mini essays, almost all are interesting. Maybe it will even explain who killed Owen Taylor.
