I find Verves to be reasonably common in the area. Bill's was the vilest record store of all time. Josey does have some of their inventory but is selling it separately. Their stock does not come from Bill's. When they opened they were much better stocked, from large collections the owners had bought. Now they have slowed down and seem to re-stock from buying from individuals, but they still get a reasonable amount good stuff (e.g., Buddy Tate's Tate a Tate on Prestige purchased last weekend for $15)..

My impression is that, in terms of 50s/60s jazz LP pressings, the major label releases are much more common in Texas than the independent East Coast Jazz labels. My suspicion is that Blue Note, Riverside and Prestige were not well distributed in Texas during that era. The West Coast/cool jazz releases (Pacific Jazz/Contemporary) were perhaps more popular or better distributed in Texas during that era. The Chicago label Argo is ubiquitous, but limited to Ahmad Jamal and Ramsey Lewis.

Volume 3 has the Peck Kelly recordings towards the end--a superb and barely recorded Texas pianist.

"I couldn´t read who is on it. I think I have somewhere a Charlie Parker Memorial 1965 (10 years after Charlie Parker´s death but it has more musicians form the generation before Bird (Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldrigde)." This Charlie Parker Memorial Concert (on Cadet) is from 1970 and has some unusual combinations. For example, Dexter Gordon with Von Freeman, Red Rodney, Roy Haynes, Jodie Christian and Rufus Reid. Another is Kenny Dorham with Ray Nance, Joe Daley, Rufus Reid, Muhal Richard Abrams and Wilbur Campbell. Also, Lee Konitz with Art Hoyle, John Young, Rufus Reid and Philly Joe Jones. Good record.

Just saw Emmet Cohen (and Bruce Harris) in New Orleans with Herlin Riley. A killer set.

Attendance figures for 2022 Big Ears: "The festival tracked an average of 5,000 ticketed attendees each day in 2022, which Capps said was roughly 2,000 more per day than in 2019. Throughout the 2022 weekend, nearly 22,000 daily tickets were utilized, the study estimated. A weekend passholder could be counted up to four times in that figure, Capps said. That figure does not include attendees who enjoyed the free, non-ticketed programming like parades. "

For early blues, the recent annual issuances on Blues Image have really fine sound. Better than Yazoo. https://bluesimages.com/html/product_html/order_cds_new.html
