Have been listening a lot to "Intuition" recently (among other) - the Marsh session. Very intetesting and "refreshing". I really look forward to the Mosaic set.

I was going to pre-order the CD (11$ seemed reasonable), then saw the shipping costs to France !

The same thing happened with silent films, many of which were just discarded by the production companies.

Jan Evensmo published a (short) solography on Bolton: http://www.jazzarcheology.com/dupree-bolton/

I also find the music more fun to watch on YouTube than listening to it on my stereo. https://youtu.be/WpQjN7yQ_8c https://youtu.be/_Tu-qDHSSZo

This compilation seems pointless. The selection is all well known stuff readily available in multiple anthologies. No real effort seems to have been taken in selecting tracks. It seems they just picked the top of the charts.

Here is a link to the web archive of the catalog with some discographies: http://web.archive.org/web/20060805160412/mosaicrecords.com/departments.asp?dept=5

Some of them were, but the pages were no longer linked to the main web site.

The new website is up and it looks nice. I hope they will eventually include discographies of all box sets.

Cool. Eager to hear them. A day without Johnny Hodges is not a good day 😁

Thanks! Could be a bootleg from the radio broadcast.

Just found a copy as well. Thanks!

Thanks. It got me curious so I ordered the LP. Perhaps the back cover will also have more info. I think this was originally a radio broadcast.

I came across this CD on a streaming service (Qobuz): https://chambermusik.com/wordpress/product/johnny-hodges-live-at-storyville/#link_additional_information_tab The label, Squatty Roo, seems dodgy. The sound quality of the CD is poor, but I don't know if its the poor quality of the issue or simply the recording. I found that it was originally issued on this LP: https://www.discogs.com/Johnny-Hodges-And-His-Friends-At-Buckminster-Square/release/7927537 Does anyone know when this was recorded exactly (link above says 1952), and if there are better versions out there ? Thanks.

I have not seen the movie, and probably won't as the reviews are poor. The day Andra Day got her award I had the urge to write a very modest "hommage" to share my love of Billie Holiday on another site I'm a member of (audio stuff). What a singer! https://audiophilestyle.com/blogs/entry/806-lady-day/

Don't you wish this were true? https://www.allaboutjazz.com/sinatra-in-vegas-with-sun-ra-discovery?width=768

Discographies should be public, and should be managed collaboratively. You cannot hope to be accurate and complete using a model like Tom Lord's. Tom Lord has "cornered" the market, and is doing a huge disservice to music lovers. There are plenty of other ways to monetize a database, without restricting its access. His site is antiquated, and so is his thinking.

Thanks had not seen the other thread

I am not sure how well known he was outside of France, but Claude Carrière just passed away. He was a musician, a jazz afficionado, especially of Duke Ellington, journalist, and oversaw the reedition of many albums on various labels: http://www.maison-du-duke.com/accueil/adieu-claude-carriere/

Listened to this last night. Don't know why it never came out on CD. You can listen to it here: https://archive.org/details/lp_swings-our-thing_johnny-hodges-earl-hines

Have you checked out this World Broadcasting series - available on CD in 5 volumes ? https://archive.org/details/cd_duke-ellington-and-his-orchestra-volume-1_duke-ellington-his-orchestra https://archive.org/details/cd_duke-ellington-and-his-orchestra-volume-3_duke-ellington-his-orchestra https://archive.org/details/cd_duke-ellington-and-his-orchestra-volume-4_duke-ellington-his-orchestra https://archive.org/details/cd_duke-ellington-and-his-orchestra-volume-5_duke-ellington-his-orchestra (volume 2 is not on the Internet Archive site) EDIT: my mistake, you mention 47-52, and these are from 1943 and 1945...

Yes, she is a fine singer, and does seem genuine. I really enjoyed watching here in the remake of that Judy Garland movie. But not my style of singing when it comes to "Cheek to Cheek"... Her national anthem during the inauguration was nice - but then again everything that day was glorious. Back to Tony.

I have a lot of respect for Bennett, and am sad to hear all this. I don't understand however, why he chose to collaborate with Lady Gaga, whose is really not much of a jazz singer, IMO. But it does not change his legacy. It just feels to me like he was taken advantage of.

I found that out with my mother, who would hardly speak but would sing along when I played Sinatra's early hits (those she grew up with listening to the radio in the 40s).
