Death notice in the Olympian: http://www.theolympian.com/2013/03/27/2479348/death-notices-for-march-27.html

Jazz historian Ted Gioia was recently a guest on Night Lights, discussing his new book The Jazz Standards. You can listen to the program on the Night Lights website: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/jazz-standards-ted-gioia/

Still hoping that Mosaic does a DKE 1947-52 Columbia set. I've also thought about e-mailing them to suggest a set of the 1943 Hurricane broadcasts.

An amazing school indeed... I'm sure that Mark Stryker will have something to add to this conversation. Is DuSable High still open in Chicago? Crispus Attucks is the equivalent school in Indianapolis; there was a similar school in Los Angeles, I think, but I can't recall it right now. Hopefully somebody will eventually write a well-researched history of the black schools and teachers that provided such a good grounding for many of the jazz artists that we love and admire from the mid-20th century scene.

Have an excellent day, Michael... hope to see you again in Bloomington sometime.

When I first saw this thread I thought it was Aloc's way of saying that we should more frequently celebrate the achievements of elderly jazz musicians while they're still with us.

Really digging his most recent release, BE GOOD.. haven't heard his 2010 debut WATER. Anybody else here checked him out?

For the funk of it: What are some of your faves?

Much better-known than the above dates, but for those interested in hearing Nichols in a more tradional-jazz context: http://www.amazon.co...omas mainstream You can hear his solo on Thomas' "Blues Baby" around the 30:00-32:30 mark in this Night Lights show: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/herbie-nichols-world/

Thanks for the heads-up, Moms--tuned in right now. Reece is evidently at work on an autobiography?

Meant to post this as well--review in the Wall Street Journal: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323984704578207383363379070.html?KEYWORDS=marc+myers

Anybody else reading this, by the author of the outstanding JazzWax blog? I'm doing a phone interview with Marc about it today for an upcoming Night Lights show. http://www.amazon.com/Why-Jazz-Happened-Marc-Myers/dp/0520268784/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1357748902&sr=1-1&keywords=why+jazz+happened

Disc 8 of the Hawk Mosaic and preparing to break open the Mingus.

Thanks, Bruce--I dig your THIRD MAN avatar!

We are re-airing "Benny Goodman's Interlude In Bop" this week, and it remains archived for online listening: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/bennys-bop-benny-goodman-late-1940s/ Next week on Night Lights: "Have Yourself a Very Quiet Christmas."

Thanks belatedly for the birthday wishes--I miss youse guys and this joint. Hoping, now that things have settled down a bit into a more regular routine in my new life, to be more active on the board in the coming year. Way too much wisdom and fun to be had here!

I picked up a copy of that Stones-in-1965 documentary last week and am hoping to give it a viewing this weekend.

Dave Brubeck, ANGEL EYES.

Just read an excerpt from this (an interview with Sunny Murray) in the November issue of JazzTimes: Always In Trouble: An Oral History of ESP-Disk

Richard Brody's New Yorker write-up.

I'm seeing it tomorrow night at the IU Cinema in Bloomington.

I've been listening to the recently-reissued GARY BURTON QUARTET IN CONCERT and wondered... has anybody ever run the idea of a Burton RCA box past Mosaic and gotten a response?

Glad to hear this has reached the level of public disclosure/release date. How many CDs, Hans? Seven?
