IIRC there was a sign like that at Preservation Hall re: Saints Go Marching In.

No, it was a blues with (I think) the word "midnight" in it. Apparently oft played, but I wasn't familiar with it.

There was once a discussion of this here and as I remember it the songs musicians didn't want to have to play were "in the Mood" and a slow instrumental blues I can't remember the name of. Any one remember (or any guesses)? BTW I think the rock equivalent is "Mustang Sally". The drummer in my wife's bar band just refuses to play it.

This is a thread running through Rafi Zabor's novel The Bear Comes Home. (honest)

I was a bit intimidated by him because I admired him so much so I didn't have that much interaction with him. Also he was very busy conducting an orchestra. He seemed very nice. IIIRC I did tell him that I was a fan.

I don't have Shoot the Piano Player but I do have Le Mepris and Le Peau Douce-- bought them in 1965. I once worked with Delerue and have regretted that I never asked him to autograph them.

Wow didn't know about this. I have a French 45 of music from the film I bought more than 50 years ago.

I got bored really quickly with the released version of "Rosemary...etc" because of the monotonous rhythm section. I loved the record but could barely play it because of this. The originally chosen take seems much better to me. The other changes don't bother me as much though IIRC the original "If You See Her Say Hello" has different, better lyrics. I once got a bootleg called "Blood on the Tapes" with several out takes including all the originally chosen ones. From it I've made my own version of the originally intended release. I've always expected an official "Bootleg" with material from BOTT and Desire. Maybe even Street Legal.

I agree with Joni. There were several songs re-cut and most are at least slightly inferior.

I think I first learned that the record had been released when I heard "A Single Petal of a Rose" used briefly as background music in the film "Rising Sun".

Where? Why? And is it worth looking for?

The Thrill is Gone: And of course the blues sung by BB King and others. And Leonard Cohen had one.

Do we still have the link to Amazon? I buy a lot from them.

Ditto

I saw him last year. He's the real deal. (BTW IIRC he played something by Coltrane.)

Well then, Merry Xmas. (You can see why the thread title might have confused me-- and it doesn't take much to confuse me nowadays.)

Hey Garth, Happy B'day!

Me too.

Huh! What!!? Do you have a link to it? I can't find it on-line. Thanks. And do you have the dates of the recordings?

Doesn't one of the Mosaic sets duplicate what's on the Decca set? (My pedantic side revealed again.)

The non-Coltrane material from Some Day My Prince Will Come has never been boxed.

Like Kurt Weil.

What's strangest is that something like this happened in the tv show Treme in which Irvin played himself as a musician involved in shady dealings.

Happy B'day!

The great cover photo probably had something to do with its popularity too. For some reason I was really taken by the un-cropped version where you can see more of his saxophone. By the time I was aware of it Mosaic was sold out of the prints but I was able to find a poster on-line and then bought another Mosaic print from a different angle that must have been taken a few seconds earlier or later. Then still later Mosaic offered another, smaller, unlimited print of the original.
