  1. Really? Couldn't we take advantage of Scooter's faux pax and start fresh on this new thread? No more Bill Barron, or Three Sounds, unissued or otherwise ... something or someone a bit fresher?
  2. Unpopular opinion: Cables ruins these recordings for me with his clingy/clangy dissonant piano. Give me any other pianist Dex ever performed with, from this era, or better yet, Kenny Drew.
  3. Fear not, shouldn't most of it be on the Wayback Machine? Maybe some kind soul can find the last archived version and post a link?
  4. Thread starters have always had power to delete a thread. I have a vague recollection of a disgruntled member doing that to several threads before his departure but I'm not 100% on that.
  5. This appeared on FB yesterday which I believe was Ben's birthday. A nice photo.
  6. I completely disagree, I think the judge is right on the law. When libraries pay for the right to license e-books and lend them out, the Internet Archive turns that on its head by skipping that part. They should have offered PD books only. I also wonder why they started this up at the start of the pandemic, and have since stopped? If their theory of "fair use" is unquestionably correct, they should have kept doing it. I also note that when Google decided to digitize books they settled a lawsuit by limiting the number of pages available for free. That is fair use.
  7. Yeah but Mark upped his style quotient to infinity when he adopted the hat look.
  8. I don't know his frontline but recording for an important label - just look at other signees that haver recorded for them, I once thought of the label as a latter day Sharp Nine/Criss Cross. So thumbs way up for our fearless leader.
  9. Cool and impressive. And as a poor excuse for a vary amateur guitarist, I hate that his fingers are about 40% longer than mine and capable of doing what he does.
  10. I have this pre-ordered from Amazon ... based on a radio broadcast I have from later in the same month, it's likely that their Volume 2 will have Joe Williams, assuming volume 2 is from the same show. (Why this would need to be broken up I know not.)
  11. Thanks for posting this.
  12. https://nypost.com/2023/03/10/florida-dad-shoots-naked-man-in-bed-with-teen-daughter-cops/ Apparently literally went into wrong bedroom, didn't sexually assault the young woman. She should have handled it like my sister did when I was 13 and she was 17 and had to share a bed on vacation in Newport, RI: "touch me and I'll kick you where you live." OK maybe not the same thing but if she told Dad that he hadn't touched her ...
  13. The Times has a review that made me think everything except the music is awful ... a full of himself interviewer trying to make Monk say something. Of course that might be entertaining to an extent, for Monk being himself. But honestly it sounded annoying and awful. Except for the music.
  14. I remember paying about $8, used, for the two-fer reissue Rooster references, definitely at a time when no one thought of CD as collector items or simply getting so rare that they could overcharge as is apparently the case now.
  15. As I mentioned above - he started digitizing cassettes during the pandemic. Its entirely possible that his soundboard recording only got pulled out in the last few years.
  16. A Jordi archive series is a great idea - he told me that during the pandemic shut down he started digitizing his cassettes collected from 40 or so years of promoting jazz concerts. Can't wait to see what other gems will come out.
  17. Hey I like altos! It's the soprano that grates for me - most of the time.
  18. Bob Neloms' wife Karen put Dorothy Longo in touch with me regarding the Smithsonian as a possible spot for her husband's musical archive - due to my work plumbing the Leonard Gaskin Papers. I couldn't help her much but this looks like an interesting book and I am glad she is putting Mike Longo's story out on paper.
  19. An answer in and of itself.
  20. Last night one of our mares, Penny, gave birth about 5 1/2 weeks early. The foal was too weak to stand up let alone walk to her Mama's belly to nurse (and Mama had no milk to give that early). About 3 am we made the decision to send her off to the big, wide open field in the sky. What broke my heart this morning was seeing Penny stand over the body, protective Mama standing watch over "sleeping" baby. She hasn't figured out what happened yet but its starting to dawn on her now.
  21. I was thinking that the anniversary was coming up ... 20 years is a long time, that is for sure. I'd say here's to 20 more but I have my doubts about a 40th anniversary.
  22. And how does an animator/producer/director DO a rendition of Eckstine? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Clampett
  23. I'm astonished people are reacting so positively to this guy. It's the first track I actually cut off in the middle.
