ghost of miles

I read the first two pages of this article this morning before leaving for work and had the same horrified reaction as everybody else in this thread. This sentence alone... ... was enough to send me careening off my mental highway. Does Giddins still write for the New Yorker? I know many here are less than fond of his work, but I think he might have approached DKE with a more knowledgeable perspective.

Television fans--check out the 33 1/3 book on Marquee Moon: http://www.amazon.com/Televisions-Marquee-Moon-Bryan-Waterman/dp/1441186050/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1386909595&sr=1-1&keywords=33+1%2F3+marquee+moon Definitely worth reading. And I never did get around to picking up At The Old Waldorf...

Thanks, all. Been a pretty mellow day, though rather melancholy about the sudden, unexpected death of Cleveland jazz DJ Bobby Jackson... grateful for friendship and music, two things that he exemplified in a beautiful way.

Sorry to see Robbie go, but not sorry to not be saddled with another 10-yr/$200 million plus contract for a player over 30. And NY needs to restock the farm system... going to miss the playoffs more often than not over the next few years IMO.

Marcel--can you post the Amazon link? I can't seem to find it... is it on an Amazon Europe site? Edit: OK, I do see it up for pre-order on Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Treasury-shows-Vol-17-2CD/dp/B00H317O8K/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1386451066&sr=1-1&keywords=ellington+treasury+17

Is this available anywhere besides Storyville yet?

I was just listening a little while ago to Sonny Rollins LIVE IN LONDON V. 3, on which Tracey plays. Sorry to hear of this.

Note the playlist for today's "Just You and Me": http://indianapublicmedia.org/justyouandme/2013-12-02/

Why, Artie Shaw, of course! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhZR5MSuRUo I seem to recall reading somewhere that Artie himself was very pleased with this particular recording.

Thanks, Medjuck... I was pretty jazzed to see that, actually.

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't see it on Amazon US yet, but here's the Storyville link: http://www.storyvillerecords.com/products/treasury-shows-vol-17-9039017

Thanks for posting this--maybe someday they'll make the movie!

Saw this discussion on the Coltrane listserv and will check my copy tonight.

Up in remembrance... I'll be revisiting these sides and the Mosaic set as well. I have to confess that I'm not as up on post-1970 CH as I should be... any recommendations? http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/journey-chico-hamilton-1960s/

His publicist reports that he has passed away at the age of 92.

Was just thinking about this as I pulled out the Charlie Parker Savoy/Dial Masters set with a sense of lament that the notes had not been done by Loren Schoenberg, as they were for the Parker Live Savoy set. I'm always happy to see a writer's credit for Dan Morgenstern, Loren, or Larry Kart on any CD or box-set that I pick up... how about you?

My thought exactly...something that would include all of the reviews from every edition. I'd be willing to pay decent money for something like that, even though I'm no fan of the e-book format. In the case of something like Penguin, though, it would make a lot of sense.

The Stone Roses, "Fools Gold," from this past August in Tokyo at Sonicmania. Here's a performance of it from around the same time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZiQJu2f8OQ Ian Brown's ability to sing in tune hit-or-miss as always, but John Squire (guitarist)--my God! Not to mention the Reni/Mani rhythm section... they've made this into an even more epic jam than it was in its original version.

PM sent.

Happy birthday to you on Veterans' Day, MM... hope you're well.

Cheers, my friend, cheers! :party:

Fantastic ending to the Celtics-Heat game last night.

That would seem to be a very logical conclusion.

Up to Lexington, 125...
