    My first thought is that the stones would be unhygenic.  Maybe they soak them in alcohol first to disinfect them.  Maybe the liquor would kill the germs too.

    I get the idea, but I'm not aware of any trend to use pebbles instead of ice.  Why not?

    My thoughts too everyone no matter who you are at some point will become lazy and not sanitize these stones.  Then you have potential of an infection. Unless the alcohol does actually kill any potential bacteria.

    will anyone here  buy this when Blue Note starts selling it on March 28th? 

    Whiskey stones are the perfect accessory for a drink that needs Just Coolin’ without getting watered down. Sold as a set of six stones laser etched alternately with the classic Blue Note Logo and “Finest in Jazz” tagline with a velvet bag for storage.

    Atlas Records is a Japanese label so these titles are probably only licensed for sale in Japan. Discogs does not say that Atlas Records is part of the Polydor family of labels. They list their parent company as Yupiteru Industry Co., Ltd, another Japanese company.

    Wikipedia said Atlas merged with Polydor. Wikipedia isn't always accurate.

    These George Cables' sessions have not been reissued.

    Most of these were on the label Atlas. Atlas merged with Polydor records.

  19. The Jaki Byard 78 RPM Mystery Record

    A very nice article. It made wonder what may be lost before anyone today ever knew it existed. 

    Full article.

    Records are endless, their number infinite in the span of human life, not only the records manufactured now and sold new but also all those of the past, the classic icon and the unknown masterpiece records which are sometimes found in the flea markets, the Goodwills and the junk shops in the same bins with multitudes of the records, probably not heard by anyone for decades, of artists; some once popular, all now long forgotten. No one could hear or know of any but the tiniest percentage of all the records that exist. The record collector searches in wondrous puzzlement.

    Discographies are guides to aid record collectors in their hunting and gathering in the infinite. The jazz discography, the result of many decades of work by many researchers, exceeds 34,000 pages and theoretically lists all jazz records by even the most obscure artists with label and issue numbers, the recording dates, the personnel, and the names of the tunes.

    But what if a record by a well known and highly respected jazz artist wasn’t listed in the jazz discography? In the world of jazz collectors and scholars, it would not exist, even as a fabled rarity. No one would search for it. Scholars wouldn’t seek information about it. Collectors wouldn’t ask each other, “Have you ever seen a copy of ..…….. ,” seeking confirmation and assurance that the record existed and that it could be acquired given enough time, determination, and money. The record would be waiting, silent, until a collector found it.
