Yes. He died. There was a thread about it on this forum.

Who are those guys? (To quote Butch Cassidy)

Well I may have the year wrong. I'm not very good on the chronology of my life 1967-1970.

I knew Zal after he had left The Spoonful and was driving a cab in Toronto. For a while he was a radio dj but got fired for playing The Beach Boys and Buck Owens. (This was probably around 1969.) Wim Wenders' first feature film is called Summer in the City. All I remember about it is that it's in black and white, there's snow on the ground in almost every scene, and that at one point the entire song is played while someone trudges through an urban winter landscape.

I'm still waiting for a cd that contains "The Asphalt Jungle Twist". I'm not sure All American and Midnight in Paris have ever had an official CBS cd release.

Thanks.

Is this music available on cd or download?

Ahhh.... that explains why I've never seen his recording of it.

Well I didn't see that tour but I did see him in Los Angeles around that time.

I like the earlier stuff better than the later cuts on this cd. It's as if Eager followed Prez so much that he got weaker as (I at least think) Prez did in the '50s. Nevertheless an essential cd.

Thanks for posting this.

I just looked at this thread. Shocked to see how many of my favorites are on the original list. (Also a couple of selections I just never liked.) I'd agree with all who suggested that were some compilations of 78s that made their mark when they were first issued and mainly I'd add some Gil Evans. I also must admit that many of my choices are because they were the first Lps I bought of particular musicians. Hence, for example, I'd take Mingus Ah Um over The Black Saint or Tijuana Moods.

This is an example of what I'm talking about below, as compared to:

No Lloyd Price!?

IIRC there were some long boxes where the cover picture filled the entire box; sometimes the top half of the picture would mirror the cd cover and the bottom would be a continuation of that picture. I wish I had some examples to show-- but I don't.

Not for many years now.Also I think other charts take streaming into account so I presume that's true of the jazz chart too.

I presume that you could find all the Hawkins discographical information in Lord. Am I right to presume so?

https://www.kamasiwashington.com/tour/ Doesn't look like he's doing badly.

Has anyone ever attempted a complete Coleman Hawkins discography? Can one be found within Rust?

I guess I should have noticed that.

I recommend the Ruby Braff. I know Larry Kart doesn't like it and Mosaic is honest enough to post his review of it, but except for the last cut (which wasn't on the original release) I don't think it is the desultory affair Larry suggests it is. There are the expected great solos and ensemble improvisations by Pee Wee Russell and some impressive work by Dick Hafer (whom I'd never heard of) on tenor. Get it before it's gone.

I'm happy just to have "Sarah Vaughan in Hi-Fi" which has all the tracks where she's accompanied by Miles Davis or Freddy Webster.

huh!? Where?

I've never heard the entire band tell the story (doesn't mean that they don't) just Steve Berlin who seems to tell it every chance he can. BTW Just saw David Hidalgo Jr playing drums with Social Distortion. He's solid.

Very magic realist/supernatural but within that genre ties things up at the end though not happily. I liked it a lot more than Paul did.
