The booklet is indeed an interesting read.

Here’s another video that was published yesterday:

Here is a two-part interview of NYC Hot Club’s Matthew Rivera: The second video goes into the record collection and the audio equipment (Steve “The Audiophiliac” Gutenberg being an audiophile).

I saw the restored Seven Samurai here in Paris a few months ago. Am looking forward to purchasing the High and Low DVD. I was hoping for a restored version of Dersu Uzala. There is a good quality version on YouTube, for those interested: Nothing like seeing this on a big screen however.

I saw Savion Glover at the Blue Note on my last trip to NYC two years ago: Great show, as always. Chris Dave & Weedie Braimah Duo ft. Savion Glover

Listening to this album, as I just got tickets to see him perform here in Paris in September!

Am looking forward to reading your book. Nice idea to publish a CD as well! Greetings from Paris!

Too bad this concert was never released on an album!

Very nice album. Jimmy Jones and Jimmy Forest are the stars of the show, IMO.

It is nice have (practically) all of it in one place. On a side note, I was listening yesterday to the July 13, 1933 recording session in London, which is not in fact in the series. What a swinging session!

Thanks, that's unfortunate.

Will there be further volumes, or has the project been abandoned?

We also met in Paris There's a good video of a Tucker conference where he discusses "New World A Coming" before performing it on stage. It has been posted on the Swedish Duke Ellington society's web site. Well worth watching. I cannot find it anymore, it may be under a password protected section (I fail to see how a Duke Ellington fan club site could have confidential information). Here is another I just found but have not watched yet: https://ellingtongalaxy.org/2024/02/01/mark-tucker-at-ellington-87/

If Bessie Smith had reincarnated in 1971, she would have been singing with these guys. Imagine that!

I have not gone through the whole set - I got stuck playing disc 3 on repeat. Mel Powell septet and trio with Quinichette. Will get to the rest over the weekend.

I received my set this morning Nice artwork. I'll start listening tomorrow.

Audiophile bars are a new trend. I came across an interesting one here in Paris: "Listener". https://listener.fr/coffee-shop-et-bar-a-vins/ It is located in a nice area, next to the Palais Royal gardens. The bar itself has a nice little system set up, but they have a dedicated listening room in the basement with a large horn system, that I was curious to check out. The listening room can be booked for 50€ an hour .. I went there yesterday, and by chance they were holding a free demo hosted by a young music critic, who was discussing the music of British composer John Barry. It was fun. https://www.jeanchristophemanuceau.com Here are a couple videos I took of this impressive system: Soundtrack from "Somewhere In Time". I'm a sucker for romance, and not ashamed to say that I love the movie. I'm not alone - the movie's Wikipedia page explains: "Despite reviews calling the film "horrible" and a "superficial tear jerker", the International Network of Somewhere In Time Enthusiasts (I.N.S.I.T.E.), an official fan club, was formed in 1990 and continues to meet regularly." Growing up here in France in the 70s, we had a very small selection of TV shows, and this series, The Persuaders, was a mainstay (titled "Amicalement Vôtre" in French). It was fun to hear the soundtrack again after all these years. I stayed for over an hour. The listening room has great acoustics and comfortable couches. Here's another track that I particularly enjoyed: Last week they held a presentation on Quincy Jones. I was sorry I missed that one.

Thanks for the link. I wish someone would interview the recording engineers that are currently working with Mosaic Records: https://www.swanstudios.nyc/swan-studios-nyc

Same here!
