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."

Wow! I gotta watch it someday. (I remember when it was new but never saw it. )

He also gives credit to Earl Palmer who had so too many studio gigs and he recommended Blaine for the ones he couldn't make. Palmer may have played on even more records than Blaine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Palmer

IIRC (and I may not) in the documentary about the wrecking crew both Blaine and Carole Kaye say they started out wanting to be jazz musicians but couldn't make a living at it.

That's sort of the Tesla model. (Though they only ask for a deposit.)

I remember when people used to ask it you dreamed in black and white or colour. Maybe because I was studying with McLuhan at the time, I'd always point out that nobody asked that question before the invention of photography.

He's got a small part in Stormy Weather. Many (but not all) of the Jubilee shows are on-line. I downloaded 142 of them.

So these are from AFRS Jubilee shows?

WTF! My kids went to NYU and Stanford for about half that a few years ago. And before Stanford my daughter went to McGill for about 10% of that.

There was an early cd release of Plays W.C. Handy that contained several cuts that were not on the original Lp (and left out some that were). That cd was soon replaced by another one with everything from the original Lp and some extras but not everything on the first cd. it would be interesting to see what else is in the vaults. (BTW there's also a great cut of Pops trying to get Lotte Lenya to syncopate Mack the Knife on a Lotte Lenya cd. I presume this will be included if Mosaic does do this box set.)

Happy B'day Garth! (Are you still with us? Both on the board and elsewhere -- at my age I find I have to ask. )

I may have missed it but I couldn't figure out who they actually pay. Record companies? Artists? And do they pay composers?

i've been trying to figure out via the internet which came first: jazz, classical or film music. But looks like he was a prodigy in all of them fro the beginning. (I first noticed him as the pianist on Shelly Mann's My Fair Lady.)

How? Where? I'm presuming you mean I'm wrong and you're probably correct about that but what are the new laws and contracts?
