Bandcamp works like a charm. The only no-show disc I've ever had, a replacement was provided right away.

BIG EARS 2021 Given the current situation, we’re going to postpone any plans for producing a Big Ears Festival in March 2020. There’s no way. It simply isn’t feasible. If there’s a lesson to be gleaned from the past nine months, it's to take nothing for granted and be flexible and ready to pivot as the situation demands. Nevertheless, we remain optimistic about the future — and about the possibility of staging Big Ears in 2021. Here’s what we have in mind: We're planning a scaled-down Big Ears Festival for late Spring, likely the weekend of May 27 - 30. We will, of course, proceed only if we can do so confidently and safely. Moving two months later will enable us to expand the festival’s traditional footprint, incorporating some beautiful outdoor spaces along with some of our traditional venues. There will be fewer performances than in the past few years — allowing us to open up more space in the overall schedule. We will also cap festival attendance at less than half of those we admitted for recent festivals. We also plan to present another festival weekend in late August or September. Ideally, this would be a second festival for 2021, also scaled-back in comparison to recent years. If the virus prevents us from staging a festival in late May, we will use this period to reschedule that event; otherwise, our goal is to create a second weekend of unique programming. In March of 2022, we plan to return with a full Big Ears Festival experience. While we're actively planning for a late May festival, we won't announce details until late January or early February. You’ll be the first to know once we have news. Safety for all is our foremost concern. Beyond that, we are, as always, fully committed to producing a Big Ears Festival that will be an enjoyable and successful experience for all who take part. In the meantime, we hope that you’ll stay in touch. We’re working on exciting new streaming initiatives and may even have a special surprise or two up our sleeves, depending on how the coming weeks play out. We're grateful for the tremendous enthusiasm and support for Big Ears that so many of you have shown. You make it possible for us to continue to do what we do — and we eagerly anticipate coming together for another unforgettable Big Ears weekend next year.

At that point, he couldn't play the bass any more. He had ALS.

I haven't compared versions, but the 1964 concert is also well recorded. The release is stellar.

In that Decca series, I have the same volume 1 of the Lunceford, volume 2 Fletcher Henderson, and Jay McShann in mono. I wish I could find more as they sound great, but almost every time I find one of this series, it is rechanneled stereo.

Nicholas Payton is not a conservative Young Lion/Wynton type. He's actually quite experimental, based on the live performances I've seen in the last few years. This is the record you need:

Bobby Hutcherson, Oblique (Blue Note Tone Poet) (sounds great) Archie Shepp, Kwanza (Impulse)

Charles Mingus, Bremen, 1964 and 1975 (Sunnyside) I've just listened so far to the 1975 concert (I have the 1964 concert already). It is well recorded, balanced and clear, with top notch performances from all parties. A quality live version of Changes One and Two (except for Orange Was the Color...) with a couple of additional songs. Very pleased to have this concert on CD.

Not that the sentence does not sound deserved, but this is an example of double standards in action. Trump and kids looted a charity and they only had to pay back the $2 million they stole and agree to be banned from running charities in New York in the future. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/oct/24/facebook-posts/trump-family-disallowed-operating-charities-new-yo/

BIG EARS 2021 While we had great hopes for the return of Big Ears in March of 2021, it has become clear that this will not be possible; however, we remain quite positive about the prospects of presenting Big Ears later in 2021. We have been actively exploring scenarios and making plans for the past couple of months. We intend to start sharing our ideas soon after the election. These have been difficult and trying times — requiring flexibility, creativity, and lots of patience — but we’re committed to creating another unforgettable festival experience as soon at it is safe and feasible to do so.
