I think it's a great project and you should keep the board informed as often as you feel necessary. While your project is obviously much narrower than Hutch's year-long blog has been, it should still spark considerable discussion here and probably more than that created at the site itself. Hope its a very satisfying and enjoyable process for you.

So what's the company that takes such pictures and makes blankets out of them? Or did she weave it herself, which I am going to go ahead and say ... too hard to do.

I always enjoy these annual columns but what would Barry do with a year like 2020? Enjoy: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/12/27/magazine/dave-barrys-year-review-2020-what-can-we-say/?et_rid=1847787000&s_campaign=globemag:newsletter (I submitted an email address to see this - no other registration necessary.)

I'll go down with the ship before I give up this place.

"No reason" is bullshit. There are obvious reasons: Get the fuck away from me (too close) Keep that shit out of here (getting too close)

MG in da house! A very nice Christmas surprise. Hope you can stick around, especially since I've got a primo BFT set to go New Year's Day. Merry Christmas to all.

Well, Merry Christmas to me. I was motivated to look for the 45 since those are full recordings of two tunes, sans VO, and I snagged what sounds like a very good condition copy, though without the nice cover seen here: https://www.discogs.com/Benny-Golson-Art-Blakey-The-Jazz-Messengers-Crazy-Driving-Blues/release/6559247

There's a Methodist Church thing? Oh, that's the drunk driving thing right? Here's another page with it https://phillyjazz.us/tag/art-blakey/

I'll challenge @CJ Shearn.

I could tell you some stories about Ukrainians and music sales, but then I'd have to kill you. Or the dude I know would.

That's a good year. (Unless that's actually just a title like "Standing on Minnows Looking for Whales" or whatever you used to quote. ) BTW Everybody, it would be nice if there were some description of the artists you are suggesting. Joe Castro is the only name I recognize so far ...

How indeed ... isn't this something that would have been returned to Bob after the CD or LP pressing plant was finished? Would it be one of a kind Chuck? Or would their be multiple reels like this? I guess if you've got a great reel-to-reel it would be a great listening experience. I'd be more interested if it wasn't Chet and his annoying warble. (You may have other opinions about Chet and his singing.)

This can be a new release, an old recording that you purchased and couldn't stop listening to, or maybe an artist/band. I've had quite a few "instant favorite" purchases this year but I think the favorite discovery that I think others should check out is saxophonist Arnold Sterling. He had about a 5 year run in the early 1980s on records, but only one as a leader (Here's Brother Sterling, on JAM). Otherwise he worked for Jimmy McGriff and was one of, but not always the only, feature saxophonist. But all of the recordings by McGriff w. Sterling are very fine, especially The Groover which was also on JAM and is almost all Sterling's show as he is the only saxophonist. He otherwise kept plying his trade in Baltimore and I believe he died just a couple of years ago. He had a great, hard-as-a-diamond tone and could really blow on just about anything. These recordings aren't expensive to find and I'd recommend them without hesitation. What did you find that brightened the otherwise shit-storm that was 2020?

Thanks very much for sharing that ... interesting story, first, and also very interesting that Klabin had presumably a lot of recordings made for his radio show. I don't recall knowing anything about that and it leaves me wondering how many other high-quality recordings Klabin has that could be issued on Resonance in the future.

Not good. What I find frightening is CA reaching 1 million cases a few weeks ago, now on track for 2 million in a few days or less.

Well I'm a predictable participant but I've hardly done any purchasing this month and most that's been sent here has been FedEx or UPS. With them the problem is leaving it at the street, 300 feet away and not driving down the driveway - but not failure to adhere to scheduled delivery days.

I remember Bob telling me how the source was so much better than prior dubious releases ... he didn't mention that it was from Grant's archive. Would make sense though being recorded hopefully reel to reel back at the station.

ahh ... did not know the Asch fact. That is delightfully hilarious!

Man could you imagine if they licensed Piss Christ in this day and age?

You'll have to explain this straight line between 4'33" and the man who brought squacks and squeaks to jazz?

Oh so we're talking about some time after what I thought was his heyday, hosting live shows in NYC clubs. I know nothing about what he did later on ... I thought the OP was asking about other tapes that might exist haven't seen a release. I know Grant tried to monetize some tapes he had, I think I have two releases on his label but it seemed like a short-lived effort. No idea if he died and no one carried it on or did it just fail as a going concern?

And now I can report that my brother got a positive result from a second Covid test. He remains with rather moderate symptoms; Mother-in-Law shows no effects thus far from her close contact last week.

Let me guess: without permission granted for duplication of any kind, but maybe if you are there and convince them you have legitimate research, you might be able to listen?

I take it you have no direct or indirect knowledge if a cassette exists for this one: Date: 11/14/1965 Location: Left Bank Jazz Society - Madison Club, Baltimore, MD Label: [no known recording] Freddie Hubbard (ldr), Joe Henderson (ts), Freddie Hubbard (t), John Hicks (p), Arthur Harper (b), Clifford Jarvis (d) I imagine there are more, no time to go thru the rest of that gig-ography.

I just remembered that I have never deleted my hotmail folder of messages from participants in the group ... It was July 2005 and I can still see when some dude calling himself Sidewinder paid.
