The Leonard Feather/Ira Gitler 'Encyclopedia of Jazz' says Addison died from 'from reaction to the synergy of two medications ...'

The Louis Smith session was produced by Tom Wilson for his Transition label. It was sold to BN when Transition folded. To me, Tom Wilson's work on the Transition label remains his greatest achievement!

Averty's radio shows were wild. I listened to them whenever I was holidaying in France. They were rebroadcast in the early afternoons. Loved Averty's obsession with full details of the matrix numbers of the records he played! Some of the shows are available on CDs from Frémeaux & Associés: Les Cinglés du Music-Hall Averty was the ever-present director of the TV broadcasts from the Antibes jazz festival (including the Coltrane video of 'A Love Supreme' from the 1965 festival) in the '60s. He had a brief appearance in the French New Wave classic 'Adieu Philippine' where he is seen directing a 'Jazz Memories' show with Maxime Saury. I still have a grudge against him after he ruined a screening of Otto Preminger's 'Laura' (a rather rare showing in pre-digital days) when he and a friend sat behind me and made comments throughout the film.

Don Was has now been made President at Blue Note! Chicago Tribune article The only 'positive' point is the possibility of BN re-signing Wayne Shorter to the label.

One of the very best actor of his generation! Loved him in 'Anatomy of a Murder' (a not to be liked character in that one), the Cassavette's films and Bogdanovich's 'Saint Jack' (my favorite film of his).
