The "Bill Coleman Bop Group", in 2 volumes, is the same band that recorded the "Live In Manchester" twofer, which was released about ten years ago. This was a working swing (not bop) band put together for Coleman's 1967 tour of the UK, and they acquit themselves nicely, despite being afflicted with a gratingly out-of-tune piano. I'm especially impressed with 2nd trumpeter Alan Littlejohn, whose work here is modeled on Coleman's, but who is a bit more modern. These albums are hard to find. I bought Vol 2 from Dusty Groove for 25 bucks, and they threw in a nice sampler, but Volume 1 was out of stock. Someone is also selling them on eBay, but that's about the extent of the marketing.

Buck Clayton became a more adventurous and confident musician around the mid 1940s, and maintained that higher level of play until he injured his embouchure late in his career.

Doc was a great American artist, a fountainhead.

Actually, no. As Wikipedia explains: Tsunami waves do not resemble normal sea waves, because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide, and for this reason they are often referred to as tidal waves. Tsunamis generally consist of a series of waves with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in a so-called "wave train".[4] Wave heights of tens of metres can be generated by large events. Although the impact of tsunamis is limited to coastal areas, their destructive power can be enormous and they can affect entire ocean basins; the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was among the deadliest natural disasters in human history with over 230,000 people killed in 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean.

A few swing era songbirds who haven't been mentioned yet--Maxine Sullivan, Mildred Bailey, and Midge Williams.

Bill Beyea was married to my cousin. He would have liked knowing that his obit would be read by fellow jazz buffs. William (Bill) Minner Beyea of Weston died April 25 in Danbury Hospital after a brief illness. He was 79. Born in New Rochelle, N.Y. on Jan. 3, 1933, he attended grade school and high school in Pleasantville, N.Y. and graduated from Colgate University in 1955. He was an accomplished jazz musician, playing numerous reed and woodwind instruments throughout college and traveling to Europe with the Nassau Jazz Band. For more than 10 years, he played clarinet and saxophone in the Finger Lake Five, a jazz and Dixieland band that opened for Billie Holiday at her final New York City performance, played to an audience of more than 24,000 at the 1958 New York Jazz Festival, performed on the Jerry Lewis Telethon, and recorded a number of records. He was a frequent guest player at Eddie Condon's Jazz Club and Jazz at Noon in New York City, and he continued to play locally throughout his life with numerous musicians including Jack Kelly, Jack Duffy, Donald Reilly, Irwin Lebish, Joe Holmes, Barry Baccus, Gene Pino, Jeff Leonard, Eric Emory, and countless others. He had forays at Time, Inc. and Newsweek, where he traveled extensively and later at Merrill Lynch and Mass Mutual. He spent the last 30 years as an independent insurance agent and financial planner, contributing often to a financial column in the Westport News. In addition to his love of all things music (especially, jazz, classical and opera), he was one of the early members of Westport Cedar Point Yacht Club in the 1960s and loved to spend time sailing and enjoying the unparalleled beauty of the club itself. He spent many summers with his family vacationing in Truro on Cape Cod, and loved traveling with his wife throughout Europe over the years. He was also a gourmet cook and connoisseur of fine wines and spirits. He was an active member of the Wilton Historical Society and a former member of the SAR and the Weston Kiwanis Club. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Gale Ann; his son William (Bill) Martin Beyea and his wife Amy Tyler Beyea of Winston Salem, N.C.; his stepson Walter (Tom) Phillips of Sandy Hook; his stepdaughter, Julie Phillips O'Grady and her husband Martin of Westport; his nephew, Chris Boyd of Charlestown, R.I.; as well as his three grandchildren, Liam O'Grady, Billy Beyea and Emily Beyea; and his great niece Sara Boyd.

An Amazon reviewer I occasionally stumble upon is Bomojaz of "South Central PA", whose tastes somewhat parallel mine. He's written a couple of thousand reviews but nothing since fall of 2008. Anyone know why he stopped writing?
