ghost of miles

David Young: a Quiet Strength, a 59-minute program about the tenor saxophonist who played with George Russell and David Baker, is now archived for online listening. It includes an unreleased live performance from Indianapolis' Topper club in the late 1950s, an excerpt from a concert performance of "Three Black Kings" by the Ellington legacy orchestra of the late 1970s, and music from David's sole album as a leader, as well as remembrances from David Baker.

Williams did the bulk of the notes for the new Uptown release as well. Was Xeroxing some old Downbeat reviews at the IU School of Music library the other day and came across Larry Kart's 1970 review of a reissue of Harold Land's THE FOX:

Long live the King!

Darcy James Argue on one artist's $75,000 level:

Going down to Landlocked Music in Bloomington. Our weekday jazz DJ, Joe Bourne, is going to be spinning some tunes from 1-2 p.m....lots of other fun stuff going on and freebies to be had.

Are we still not being allowed to delete threads? I just tried to delete one in the "Offering and Looking For" forum...couldn't seem to do it.

They've got Chet Baker's STAIRWAY TO THE STARS for $5.99 right now--very good CD if you dig those mid-1960s sessions with George Coleman.

If anybody has this track, could they drop me a PM? Many thanks!

I finally got around to listening to ON BROADWAY V. 3, which I purchased ages ago...what a great CD! I think even those burned out on standards would enjoy this one... Konitz in the mix w/Lovano/Haden/Frisell.

If anybody has the following track, could they contact me off-board? Rudi Blesh’s All-Star Stompers and Barry Ulanov’s All-Star Metronome Jazzmen, “52nd Street Theme,” WOR radio broadcast, Sept. 20, 1947. Philology, Volume 17, W 847. Many thanks!

Hope you find it worthy of its subject, ES. I'm listening to KOSU right now, and they seem to be a week ahead of schedule--airing "David Young: a Quiet Strength" instead.

I'm going to go get his "bird" album (and I don't mean Parker) if it's still available at Ye Local Record Shoppe tomorrow.

We're re-broadcasting After the Vanguard: the Return of Bill Evans this week, but it's already archived for online listening (new link location, different from the one previously posted). Next week: "David Young: a Quiet Strength"

Is this new? (Not being able to edit a post after a certain amount of time has passed.) If so, I'd much prefer the previous way--I just tried to edit a post in one of my Night Lights threads and was not given the option of doing so. In the past I've always been able to edit posts that are quite old.

Stuart came to mind as well when I saw this thread, Bebop--I hope that he was involved, as you say seems to quite possibly be the case. Wonderful gentleman, hope I get to see him again sometime.

Bought yesterday and today: Woody Shaw, MASTER OF THE ART. Don Ellis, TEARS OF JOY. Also the all-jazz issue of Wax Poetics, which I heartily recommend--esp. to those who dig CTI sides at all (good piece on Creed Taylor in there).

Black coffee and Kombucha (separately, not together). Pulling another all-nighter to finish a Night Lights program...

Jae Sinnett's Sinnett's In Session on WHRV-Norfolk, VA.

There's also STEPPING STONES, though the reissue may already be OOP. I got MASTER OF THE ART today--loved it and will probably order the other Elektra reissue tomorrow.

Highest halftime point total and lead ever in an NCAA title game? Well, if MSU comes back to win, it'll be the game of a lifetime...OTOH maybe I should turn off the TV and go spin that Woody Shaw disc again.

Just got this and started reading it today--thought it might be of interest to some other posters here: Ellington Uptown: Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson, and the Birth of Symphonic Jazz It's part of the University of Michigan's Jazz Perspectives series, which Lewis Porter edits.

I'm pulling hard for MSU, but good Lord, NC's wiping the court with 'em so far.

Exactly. I'm not going to hit the panic button on CC based on a crappy April outing. Truth be told, the bullpen blowing NY's bid to take the game back bothered me more.

We could get a whole thread going on this subtopic, if there hasn't been one already at some point on the O--that Nashville Jumps box also has a Wynonie Harris side from the late 1940s on which Sun Ra plays piano. You can hear it about 7 minutes into this Night Lights show: Second Magic City: Sun Ra in Chicago

Been offline since Friday night and was very sad & shocked to see this news today. Shank hooked me the first time I ever heard him (the Mosaic box) and he's a musician whose work I've continued to enjoy hearing and exploring ever since--definitely consider myself quite a fan and had held out hope of perhaps catching him in concert sometime.
