I would say yes. Smith photos (including the ones from the Ayler session) are available from The University of Arizona Center for Creative Photography.

Intégrale Louis Armstrong 'Vol. 8 "Public Melody No. 1" 1937-1938'

Cal Cobbs playing the harpsichord at Albert Ayler's 'Spirits Rejoice' recording session in 1965. Gary Peacock is on bass. The great photographer W. Eugene Smith, at right, pays close attention to the proceedings. An image I took when the musicians were in between takes at the session.

One of the better late Blakey album was 'Art Blakey in Sweden' with the 1981 band with Wynton Marsalis, Bobby Watson, Bill Pierce, James Williams and Charles Fambrough. Great live session!

Ubu, you beat me to those MP3

Ahmed Abdul-Malik 'East Meets West' (RCA, Living Stereo!)

At least those Phontastic DETS had full liner notes with all the content details!

From the Wall Street Journal today: Iridiumwebstreaming

George Handy 'By George! ("X", mono) with Dick Sherman, Frank Rehak, Dave Schildkraut, etc...

Good catch Marcel! I must admit I just glanced at it... The credit on the page says "CP file photo" (that's Canadian Press), so the Star would disclaim it. I'd guess they're trying to get the artists together in a single shot, but ethically they should call it 'Photo Illustration' or some such. It's not quite the Newsweek cover of OJ's mug shot, but... Rather unusual for Canadian Press to run doctored images. They should have used this one instead:

There were only seven or eight of those Phontastic DETS LPs. The early releases from the Treasury DETS also came out on the Fairmont label in the US (Mel Torme's label?).

Jimmy Rushing 'If This Ain't The Blues' (Vanguard, mono, red label) What a beautiful album! What a beautiful cover (photo by Burt Owen)!

Plus one, a bonus LP #49 (an August 1953 broadcast from Chicago's 'Blue Note'!

Great article This keeps jazz history in perspective! Many thanks for linking it!

The original DETS vinyl series: Still have the full run of it. Volumes 1 to 30 acquired from the Paris Jazz Corner shop shortly after its opening. Bought the rest of the series during one of my first visit at the Princeton Record Exchange! The LPs came in plain white sleeves with blank back covers. Two-page notes inserts accompanied each LP. The Storyville CD series adds more broadcasts to the original LP releases.

Tommy Shepard 'Shepard's Flock' (Coral, mono) with some of my favorite players (Nick Travis, Hal McKusick, Al Cohn, Barry Galbraith, etc...)

A bigger image can be seen here (go to bottom). The full image does not link!

Back to Pops! But in French! This link has full length videos and audios from INA including the French TV news video on the day Armstrong died plus a full broadcast of a March 1948 concert in Paris with the All Stars (Teagarden, Bigard, Hines, Shaw, Catlett...)

but hopefully not with a chandelier coming down on top of you ! The chandelier would not survive Now listening to (after the record was mentioned in a thread earlier today): Debut Records 'Autobiography in Jazz' (Debut, mono) A not very good copy that still carries a $1,98 price tag from the Princeton Record Exchange that remains unremovable in contrast with the Debut labels that unglued in typical Debut fashion! Mingus and Roach should have purchased their glue from the PRE stock! The album was also priced $1,98 (Fed. Tax Included) when it came out!

"missing"? Realize my english needs to be improved Things will be easier when O. starts a French version!
