Gotcha.

Did you miss this subsection? A Bud selection was at the very top of it. BY “BEBOP,” I MEAN BUD POWELL

Joey Defrancesco makes his first appearance in the archive - in fine sound https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/163518 So does Sir Roland Hanna https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/163517

A full list is beyond my capacity but as the former GHF I will always rank this one at or near the top:

Oh c'mon - like people don't read memoirs by mobsters? And this isn't just a mobbed up guy, he was deep in the music we love. That's what makes his story interesting to me.

https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Books/W/Whistle-Stop The first one I think I want to read after it arrives is the biography of the infamous Morris Levy. $20 and change with free shipping for new hardcovers. - this is a tremendous deal

Thanks so much for posting. I chose 4 more to go with pre-ordering the Dorham book and have covered my "gifts for myself" for the holidays!

This is not the "gotcha" you think it is. Fetishizing original (poor) design choices is not the same. The fact will always remain that they chose to put out archival recordings from an era with classic artwork on the covers in a way that made not the slightest nod toward the era of music it was mining. Did Cuscuna ever say why those covers were used? I always presumed that for a label that was barely an afterthought, they said OK, put out these recordings but we aren't paying shit for the rest of it.

Listening to some recent uploads at Vandy on a road trip to Tallahassee, I realized that separated by a few months in 1979, Percy France expressed some related thoughts about ballads, singing thru your horn, and the importance of love.

Reuben Wilson appears - on piano - in the Schaap archive at Vandy. And backing Gatortail Jackson https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/162818?u=t&keywords[]=reuben There are other recordings as well

I'm not that concerned unless it's something with a lot of orphan tracks that don't exist elsewhere.

Edit to say Track 7! D'OH!

#6 is track 6 from this but it seems to be an alternate take and I can't find an issue that has alternates so I am a tad confused. As for the rest, I have no guesses on #10 and for the remainder I'll follow a lesson from Mom about not saying anything at all if you can't say anything nice.

Very saddened to hear this ... and I had no idea he had such an illustrious career with the AP. Guy was a great asset to the board and exceptionally generous as well - a couple of years ago I reached out to him because he had mentioned a rare Harry Edison CD with Curtis Peagler, and I had not had any luck even finding a copy anywhere. I hoped he would favor me with an upload of mp3 tracks and instead he simply shipped his copy to me and didn't even take payment for the mailing cost. RIP.

There's been an absolute ton of Percy France uploads the last month or so and the vast majority were not ones that the librarian had shared with me as items that were being digitized ... but Buddy Tate has appeared in the archive: https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/162657 Actually its not as if Tate was not captured at the West End - but the other recordings are with the Countsmen, sharing the front line with Wells, Cheatham, Warren.

Charles Kynard went back to his church roots and released two gospel recordings, one of which even included a couple of tunes from his Pacific Jazz recording. He figured nobody would notice, and nobody did, until I spotted it after his - son? brother? - Gary Kynard sent me a recording and I pointed it out to him.

OK I will play: Jeff Hamilton and Ray Brown

At least you didn't call her a Nazi, David. <a thousand eye roll emojis>

unproccessed and untweaked. This sounds to me like its a completely straight transfer of ANALOG tapes to digital to vinyl. Maybe I am (also) unaware of what unprocessed and untweaked means.

In this particular case, the performances were recorded on an Ampex 600, if I recall correctly, and yes, the recordings are mono. A set of tapes has been in Jim Wilke's collection for all these decades, and those two reels were physically shipped to me for mastering. (Blue Note now owns and archives these original tape reels.) As the production team and I started going through the contents of the tapes, we discovered a problem: One song was absent from the tapes I received, but a flat, existing, archival digital transfer existed for that track, and it sounded fine, so we included it -- and the album is better for it.

He in no way says its a digital master. One track was somehow missing from the reels and a digital transfer was used. What would be nice is to know what tune was sourced from a digital transfer so that others could make their own judgements. What this really does is call into question is what else was lost on the misplaced reel because its pretty rare that a single tune is all that was recorded. It sounds like Mr. Wilkie did his own mix tapes from the recordings he preserved of these broadcasts.

I don't know what I would possibly say to someone who doesn't think Bari Weiss or her media company produces work "in good faith". And anyway that would get into politics, unfortunately. The link is supposed to be a gift link so I don't know what happened. The gist is that high levels of pot usage among the current population is producing a reaction in some users in which they are in utter and total physical despair, with multiple trips to emergency rooms, endless vomiting (cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS)). For those who start to experience this, nothing cures it but quitting the weed.
