I got a car that didn't have a cd player (not offered) and solved the problem buy buying a small player and a cheap transmitter that plays it through my radio. Not as good as having it built in but it works.

I first heard of her because of "Central Avenue Sounds" the fine book she co-edited along with (amongst others) Buddy Collette.

Sabian cymbals are made in my home province of New Brunswick Canada. Must be something about the North East.

Holy shit!!!

It's a mistake I once heard a CBC announcer make when he saw the song credited to Mercer Ellington (not Mercer-Ellington). A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Don't believe the hype. Physical sales are only 12% of revenues for music. However that's even more than downloads. Most of the money is made from streaming. And Vinyl hasn't yet equalled cds-- though it may soon. https://www.cnet.com/news/us-music-fans-throw-more-money-at-vinyl-and-cds-than-itunes-downloads-now/

No, I'm sorry. this one. Funny I just got the Timon of Athens. Too bad EKE only recorded a couple of tracks from it.

Hey where you get that? More important , where can I get it? (Though I think most of it is on Youtube)

They wouldn't need a stereo tape for a film in 1964 so they may not have made one. Very few movies were in stereo in 1964- in fact I doubt if any Canadian films were. Even in the US, Columbia released Stripes in 1981 in mono only. We had to do a new stereo mix for later video releases.

I think I read/heard that Andy was only used for part of the song in To Have or Have Not but Bacall does a fine job with Kenton's "And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine" in The Big Sleep so I'm sure Hawks is being truthful.

The Heps (I believe) are all transcriptions. If you get them all you'll get different performances of the same arrangements. If you have any choice make sure you get one with The Troubadour on it.

It was once available on cd. I have it. I think it does have all of the released Evans instrumental arrangements but is missing some arrangements with vocalists and a few arrangements that were only issued as transcriptions.

Saw Buddy backing Emmy Lou. Thought he was great. Then saw him with Allison Krause and Robert Plant where he more than held his own.

I remember seeing Patterns when it was first broadcast. I was surprised when Serling became known for Sci-Fi. BTW he also wrote the script for Assault on a Queen which stars Frank Sinatra and has a score (or at least some of the score) by Ellington. Unfortunately the film is not very good. They wouldn't need a stereo tape for a film in 1964 so they may not have made one.

Are there any other recordings of this quartet playing Naima?

None of this is made clear in the film. Crosby was present at a recent sold-out screening here in Santa Barbara (he lives nearby). If I'd gone I would have asked him more about it. It seemed to me that the story is included (and starts the film) to show just how passionate people can be about their music.

BTW The Byrds always claimed 8 Miles High was inspired by Trane.

I saw the Le Chat dans le Sac when it first came out (I was in university in Montreal at the time). I recognized Naima but presumed it was the version from the record . Not that I really remember after more than 50 years. I don 't remember all of the score being by Coltrane and the only scene I remember is one where Barbara Ulrich tries to imitate a shot of Anna Karina from (I think) Le Petit Soldat.

I don't mind the spread (mainly listening on headphones) but it is very weird during the long drum solo on 52nd St. Theme when suddenly it sounds like you're in the middle of the drum set with the cymbals on the left and the drums on the right.

He still comes off that way. At least he admits it. He says he managed to alienate all of CSN&Y as well as Roger McGuinn none of whom have spoken to him the last couple of years. Film explains how he pissed off Young and McGuinn but not Sills and Nash-- the latter of whom seems to have been his best friend.

On a recent PBS documentary about Woodstock you hear him say that he improvised Freedom on the spot to entertain the crowd while they tried to get other performers to the site. .

I liked it. Never been a big fan but I saw Crosby perform at a charity event a year or so ago and was surprised how good he was.

I just came back from seeing a documentary about David Crosby that begins with him telling a great John Coltrane story. According to Crosby he had taken some drugs and gone to see Coltrane who took a long solo so intense that Crosby fled to the bathroom. Suddenly the bathroom door was kicked open and Trane entered still playing his solo. Crosby never says whether Coltrane was there to use the facilities or just chasing him. The movie then begins and the incident is not mentioned again.

Thanks. Never knew that. IIRC they were really hyped by the Village Voice which was my bible at the time.

What was infamous about The Paupers at Monterey? BTW Academy award winner Howard Shore played in Lighthouse. Two other Canadian band I liked form the '60s were Kensington Market and Chilliwack. (Hmmm: both are place names. )
