ghost of miles

Apparently this has been reissued on CD only once, by Wounded Bird in 2005? Glad I have a copy.

Good news, Larry, and thanks for the update. I recently revived a “Where’s Larry Kart” thread after noticing that you hadn’t posted in awhile; I’m sure I’m far from alone in feeling relieved that all is OK.

Somehow just now getting around to this one:

Henderson was one of the panel members for this “Electric Miles Revisited” conversation I attended at the 2019 Jazz Congress, along with Gary Bartz, Al Foster, Dave Liebman, Mtume, Wallace Roney, Lenny White, and Vince Wilburn: The session starts at around the 10:00 mark:

The Barney Bigard session with Art Tatum on disc 5 is one of my favorite dates from the set thus far. A lot of the mid-late 1940s “Long Tall Papa”-style double-entendre vocal blues genre on discs 4 and 5 which tends to weary me these days, no matter how good the performers or performances, but I knew that going in. On to disc 6 and Jack McVea.

Some very fine late-period Bud Shank:

Yankees finish their 2022 regular-season match-up against the Astros 2-5 (with four of the seven games at Yankee Stadium) and without having led a single inning (both of their wins came via walkoff hits). Despite their gaudy overall record to date, they are still owned lock, stock and barrel (or should I say lock, stock and trash-can? ) by Houston… cannot see them advancing past the Astros in the postseason. And how ‘bout them Mariners and Orioles? Lots of AL teams in the hunt for those three wild-card spots. I’ll also be interested to see if anybody lands Juan Soto at the trade deadline. He’s at peak value right now with 2.5 years of team control left… Nats will still get a huge haul for him if they wait till the winter, but perhaps a little less than they’d receive right now, when acquiring Soto could help push a team immediately through the playoffs and to the World Series.

So glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun one to put together.

I do and agree with you! If I have time I might punctuate the show with a track from it. Here’s a thread I started a couple of years ago about Powell’s 1940s leader dates

Beautiful moment at the end of Clayton Kershaw’s ASG presser: 10-year-old fulfills late grandfather’s wish

Upping this because I just noticed Larry hasn't posted since July 10, which seems like a long absence by his usual posting standards. Hope all's well!

Signed. At 123, he's no longer too young!

I’ve been wanting to do a Night Lights Mel Powell show for years. It’s another one I need to get to sooner rather than later—starting to sink in more and more that my professional career, not to mention life, will not be infinite after all! It will focus primarily on his time with Goodman, his 1940s leader dates, and the mid-1950s Vanguard sessions. EDIT: well whaddaya know, next February 12 will be Mel Powell’s centennial. I do believe the time to do a show has arrived!

Belated thanks for this remembrance.

The two Dick Cary-George Wettling sides on disc 2 are a pleasant surprise to listen to—I don’t recall taking note of them when I skimmed over the online discography. Liking the Gene Schroeder that follows as well. I love the variety of artists on this set!
