ghost of miles

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."

Thanks, all... already had the Kenney listed but have plugged in several more of the suggestions above.

Suggestions, additions welcome: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/jazz-capitals-america-books/

True indeed.... enjoying Red Garland's Manteca right now, in fact.

Whoops... didn't mean to bury Mr. Barretto twice. Somebody had posted it in his Facebook feed this evening as if it were a new event... apologies. Moderators, please delete?

Hope they didn't charge you for the sandwiches, Larry!

Thanks for that link, Moms--I don't recall seeing it before. And you're definitely on the money about Wilson's political lineage; even though FDR had started some movement among black voters toward the Democratic Party, it really kicked in come the 60s and the events to which you allude (accompanied by, as we all know, the beginnings of an eventual mass exodus of southern D's to the GOP). We just re-aired the Night Lights show about Wilson and Transition last week: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/transition-records-story/

Did my eyes deceive me, or was that Rawls sitting at the end of a gay bar while Lamar was reluctantly making the rounds looking for Omar? (Season 3, episode 10)

Wish I had some to offer... that may just be a blurb writer's error. Hackett's centennial is coming up this Saturday, btw. I just picked up That Da-Da Strain... can anybody point to discographical information for that CD's sessions? Fine liner notes by Dan Morgenstern (as always), but no info on when the recordings were made or who's on them. They come from the 1938-1940 period.

Just listened to disc 1 of the new Keystone set, and though I don't know "comeback" Red nearly as well as I do the 1955-62 period, it is some prime-sounding late-period Garland. According to the notes, this was the only time this particular trio (Garland, Leroy Vinnegar, Philly Joe Jones) played together, for a week at the Korner.
