Wow. I never knew about this website. Thanks. What does GEMA stand for?

I saw him with Gil at Sweet Basil a couple of times in 1985.

I once contributed to a Hannibal Marvin Peterson discography being compiled by someone in Europe. (My info was about some Gil Evans live recordings with Peterson. To be honest his work with Evans is about all I'm familiar with.)

I was listening to "Cecil Payne Performing Charlie Parker" from the Charlie Parker Records box set which consists of fairly familiar Parker tunes except one called "Communion" which is credited to C.Parker. It sounded like post bop or hard bop to me so I thought maybe it was from Bird's last couple of years. But checking the very reliable P. Losin Bird discography I could find no such composition amongst Bird's extant live or studio recordings. Anyone here know anything about this song? BTW The record is really good. I thinking I've been taking Clark Terry too much for granted: he was just always there for most of my jazz listening life. And 2nd BTW: in the Losin discography I noticed that there's only one live recording of Bird playing The Hymn.

WTF!

What an American thing to say.

Is Verve at Sony? I thought it was at Universal. I can't keep up with who owns what anymore.

Where's Joni Mitchell?

Yes, They're on both the supposed rehearsal record (I always thought it was a CBS tie-in recording session) and the tv show. So is he on the legitimate MJQ with Giuffre cd? It appears not on the Discogs credits.

I still hear people use Miles's (really Kenny Dorham's?) Theme. The first one, recorded for Prestige.

I just read the following in an on-line essay about The Sound of Jazz: " In 1956, he recorded a blues with Giuffre at Music Inn, ." (The "he" being Pee Wee Russell.) Is this correct? I can find no reference to a recording of Giuffre at Music Inn except the record with the MJQ.

I Like it too. The only piece that's repeated really a lot is "Eat That Chicken" which is very short and which he uses as a theme to signal the end of a set. How can you you have too many "Eat That Chicken"s?

I recently read this kids book and quite enjoyed it.

Sorry, I'm confused. (I'm often confused.) Are you talking about The Bad and the Beautiful here?

Wow! Must be a record.

I saw 14. Art Farmer, Benny Golson, Monk, Sonny, Art Blakey, Milt Hinton, Lawrence Brown, Dizzy, Count Basie, Mary Lou, Horace Silver, Mingus, Gerry Mulligan and Willie the Lion.

Happy Birthday, young man. (Oh to be 50 again!)

Surely these were bootlegs?!

I moved to Toronto in June of 1965 and presumed that your Saturday morning show as well established. Didn't realize that you had just begun. Listened to you till I left in June of 1980.

Is Coda on-line somewhere?

Billy Higgins? I think I read that Earl Palmer played on even more records.

USC used to be known as the University of Spoiled Children. It's been scandal ridden for the last few years. I've always though a couple of the state schools along with Stanford were better.

As Lew Archer says: "It's all one case." https://smile.amazon.com/Its-All-One-Case-Illustrated/dp/1606998889/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1M9OJOI0KBWHI&keywords=it%27s+all+one+case&qid=1552468915&s=books&sprefix=It%27s+all+one+%2Caps%2C477&sr=1-1

MacDonald's last book. I read it because it's the one where it is most obvious that Santa Teresa is Santa Barbara. Good story but as far as I can see two murders in it are never actually solved. And I think that the epithet for every Lew Archer story should be Faulkner's "The past isn't dead. It isn't even past."
