ghost of miles

Thanks, Aaron--great to hear that the Hartman album will be included after all.

Thanks for the recommendation, Larry--ordered it yesterday after reading your review here.

I'm devoting Night Lights this week to his early recordings, as a sideman with Art Blakey, Charles Lloyd, and Miles Davis, and some of his early recordings as a leader as well. Should have a link to it up early next week.

I happened across a nice used copy of the 1960s PDK Library of America volume last autumn and recently got the urge to read The Man In The High Castle, which is included in that volume. Really enjoying it so far, though I have to confess it's only the second PDK book I've ever read (I read Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep a looooooong time ago). BTW, Amazon Video is offering the pilot of a TV version for free right now, with more episodes evidently to come: http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-High-Castle/dp/B00RSI5EHQ

Philip K. Dick, THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE.

Think we'll see Diana at all again in the last two episodes? Doesn't seem likely after "Lost Horizon," though you never know with Weiner and company. Maybe she's going to end up becoming the equivalent of the Russian in The Sopranos. Also loved the Roger-on-organ, Peggy-on-rollerskates sequence and Joan's showdowns with the parade of McCann a#&holes.

Anybody else watching the final season as it unfolds? I thought "Lost Horizon" was a MM homerun, one of those episodes that stays in my head for the next several days.

We re-aired this program last week and it remains available for online listening: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/jazz-standards-ted-gioia/

How does this come down this late before the big day? How do you miss the deadline anyway? Some kind of mishap at the pressing plant, evidently--I don't think it was a matter of missed deadlines. Bit of a bummer to be sure, but we'll get to hear it (and more) eventually. King Ubu, congrats on already scoring IN THE BEGINNING. I'm going to pick it up at the CD release party in Indianapolis next month. I bought the two 10-inch LPs that came out last year on RSD and am eager to hear the additional material (and also read the booklet, which is supposed to be excellent).

The One Night In Indy Record Store Day release has been pushed back to November. MikeWeil, my understanding is that yes, the material on it will be part of a 2-CD set out next year or in 2017 that will be completely different than Echoes of Indiana Avenue and the imminently-due (May 12) In The Beginning set.

Volume 19 now out on the Storyville site: http://www.storyvillerecords.com/products/the-treasury-shows-vol-19-9039019

What the hell, I'll start:

Any update on when the Daley's coming out? Still possibly this year?

For only $39.99, and legit: http://www.amazon.com/Ornette-Coleman-Complete-Atlantic-Recordings/dp/B00RC9WLAO/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1426020061&sr=1-1&keywords=ornette+Coleman+beauty+is+a+rare+thing

Not an answer to your question, Jim, but just wanted to recommend this 2-CD overview to anybody wanting a representation of Armstrong's Verve period, if they can find it cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Do-It-Verve-Years/dp/B000004702 ...picked it up for $3.99 at an Indianapolis record store several years ago and listened to it all the way through several times during commutes between Bloomington and Indy. Good liner notes by Dan Morgenstern as well.

I think Jim was referring to Milestone, not Riverside--implication that given the trends & currents of the 1970s/80s, certain artists such as Rollins, McCoy Tyner, etc. might not have recorded as prolifically in that era if it hadn't been for Milestone. (Somewhat like Granz and his stable of artists on Pablo during the same period.)

Pretty sure Jonathan was hoping to reissue this as his next project but was denied by Ace because they wanted to do it themselves.

Speaking of representations of jazz and documentaries, has there been any discussion on this board of Keep On Keepin' On? I've seen only clips, not the entire film.

I'm pretty sure that however good the Miles movie is it will be the final straw that brings about the jazz-internet-osphere apocalypse. Probably an accurate speculation. As a friend of mine who's both a musician and a music-school professor, and who loved Whiplash (as did I), said, "The jazz community always complains that it's never represented in popular culture, and then whenever it is, proceeds to heap critical scorn on that representation."

Most of us here probably already have this, but hell, at this price, buy a copy for a friend or loved one! http://www.amazon.com/Complete-1957-Riverside-Recordings-CD/dp/B000FBHCQO/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1425415283&sr=1-1&keywords=monk+coltrane+riverside

Sounds like a 70s version of Charlie Barnet.

Gwen Terry just announced on the Keep On Keepin' On Facebook page that Clark has passed away.

A little bit of Serrano, including "Dream of Igor" and "Blues Holiday," on this Night Lights show: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/returning-call-jazz-unsung-heroes-chicago-hardbop/

Disc 3 of this:

The Wire, Season 4--episode 4 tonight. "Tater killed me."
