Go for you.

Very sad news. Too young.

Dexter Gordon and his band appeared in a Danish porno. While the couples had sex, him and the band played the background music. I had a copy of this but don't know where it is anymore.

I found this interesting Dear Friends: In a secure, climate-controlled storage facility deep inside the Lincoln Center campus lies close to 700,000 of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts’ sound recordings, one of the richest resources of sound in the world. The archive contains virtually every format developed to record sound—wax cylinders, lacquer discs, magnetic wire recordings, 78 rpm discs, audiocassettes, compact discs, and digital audiotape. But because these recordings are often delicate and subject to deterioration, the fate of this unparalleled collection is at peril. The Library for the Performing Arts is ensuring these collections can live on by digitizing them and making them accessible for years to come, as you listen to the NPR report below. But, we need your help to do this work—if you feel as strongly about saving our sounds as we do, consider a donation to the Library today! With warm wishes, NPR—Wax Cylinders That Can Now Be Heard for the First Time in 100 Years What's on the 2,700 wax cylinders the Library for the Performing Arts has in its archive? Because many wax cylinders don't have labels on them, unlike vinyl, they’re often a mystery! But thanks to new digitization technology, we can find out without further damaging the cylinders. Jennifer Vanasco from NPR paid a visit to the Library during the installation of the Endpoint Cylinder Machine, which will help the Library digitize wax cylinders. She reported on the mysteries that we may uncover! https://www.npr.org/2022/04/05/1090819310/mystery-recordings-will-now-be-heard-for-the-first-time-in-about-100-years?utm_source=eNewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=LPA_Update_20220412&utm_campaign=LPA

This one’s for sale on reverb.com for $999,993, and $500 to ship it. WTF? https://reverb.com/item/13323928-the-tree-the-four-elements-the-element-wind-archtop

Thanks.

I’ve never heard of this label before today. All of these recordings listed are live. Has anyone ever bought anything from these folks? https://en.thelostrecordings.store/collections/store?fbclid=IwAR18qXLQ7k3yn-JyjHYnF10b6BmaxmYORdTc7Oyn_kEyTwBjHaQw-k1X9Hg

I have session. It is very good.

First, any fans of Will Bill Davis? I've been digging his playing recently. Even the mellow stuff. I have all his sessions as a leader and those with Johnny Hodges too. What got me in the mood for his playing was a radio broadcast that was recently rebroadcast of French program called, "Les Légendes du Jazz, France Musique," with Eddie Lockjaw performed in Paris back in the mid 1970s. They're both killing it.

RIP, Jessica. Thanks for the music.

Yeah.

Great program, Ken.

The great drummer Roy Haynes is 97. All the best

RIP, Ron. Thanks for the music. Too young.

87 years young today.

This is great.

From Sonny Rollins as told through Benny Green ‘s Facebook page benny Green 6 hrs. "If you are worrying about 'Gee, am I going to make a living playing Jazz?' and 'Wow, how am I going to make it?', then Jazz is not for you, just listen to it. You have to be careful if you're thinking, 'Well gee, am I gonna make enough money to feed my family or to have a nice car and live in a nice house?' - Music doesn't respect that. Music is someplace else, and if you love Music and you feel that you have the talent, then you've got to go there - never mind all this other stuff. If not, then don't do it for a profession, do it when you get home from work, maybe." - Sonny Rollins If you feel so passionate about music that certain recordings speak to you so deeply that you feel an uncontainable sense that this is what you're meant to do, then please seek out those living and accessible individuals who represent the sounds and feelings that speak to you. If you're sincere, there are people who've been given music by their elders and who understand that no one owns it, and that it's to be passed along to those rare and brave individuals with the heart to treat a spiritual gift with honor and humility. There are infinite ways to create, amidst many descriptive or confining worldly genre terminologies. Some of my revered musical heroes detest the word "Jazz" for wholly valid reasons, while some of them call their music just that. Not unlike the reality that some beautiful people are carnivores, some are vegetarian, and some exercise the freedom of choice to change-up - not all good people think, speak, dress or eat exactly the same, but they're nevertheless good people who live on their own authentic terms and who answer to their own heartfelt principles and values. When I simply listen and feel, I know what I love, and no one needs to be corrected by anyone else about what they love, because what a person loves is central to and inextricable from who they are.

600 copies will go fast.

Doc Severinson is 94.

RIP, Ian.
