Both Sonny Rollins and Wayne Shorter were paid 40k to perform at the Chicago Jazz festival; separate shows of course. I think the year was 2008. Somewhere I saw the contracts posted on a site for both of these concerts. Each then probably had to pay their band out of that 40k, or would those musicians be paid from the event organizers under different contact?

Tony Bennett. We can't forget him.

Clifton Anderson has over 450 sound board recordings of his uncle Sonny Rollins. These are the source of the Road Show series. Hopefully none get discarded.

A good long life. She was about two weeks shy of 100. RIP.

Here's to a healthy 2022 to everyone.

I know they met early but Golson swore to Vincent Herring that’s how they met.

Yes, R&B and gospel sessions.

Benny Golson told the story a few weeks ago on how McCoy Tyner met John Coltrane. I was at a Vincent Herring show in NYC. Vincent was talking to Benny the night before. Benny told Vincent he hired Tyner. McCoy had not been in New York yet. He started to drive from Philly to NYC when his car broke down on the Jersey Turnpike. McCoy called Benny and asked if he could come pick him up so he wouldn't miss the gig. Benny didn't have a car, but told McCoy he would call a friend to see if he was available. He called John Coltrane. He drove down to where McCoy was stuck and drove him up to NYC. A year later, McCoy would join Coltrane's band. You would think all three being from Philly, Coltrane would have met Tyner back in the 50's. I did see Dizzy Reece perform about 6 or 7 years ago. I'm glad he's still around. I mix him up with Ted Curson.

I wasn't considering unissued. But there are many sessions in the Savoy discography that when I do a search on the internet I don't find any hits. True, as long as someone has a copy the music isn't lost, provided he or she can ensure the record/tape is save for generations to come.

The Lennie Tristano Mosaic and The Nat King Cole early years from Resonance Records.

I’ve been looking through my discographies, such as the Savoy, and Verve, and there are a number of sessions that don’t seem to have made to the digital age. This makes ask the question of this thread. How much music has been lost through the years?

RIP. He was a great coach.

My copy was shipped today.

Happy Holidays to all.

It’s feee to watch here in the US. https://tubitv.com/movies/635507/another-kind-of-soul-the-coleman-family-legacy?start=true&fbclid=IwAR0T-R3WXk7It5m4BbHExnbJdqfymOL_tVfOzUN2zmEst_idxrX3xraKTN0

I snapped this photo at the Vanguard. Piano talking going on between the two.

I just saw he has passed away. One left. RIP.

COVID-19 still wreaking havoc.

What a loss. RIP Barry. Thanks for the music.

Was there ever one done for the Argo records, or are those sessions included in the Chess discography since Argo was a division on Chess?

I have the Blue Note, Prestige and the Savoy Discographies. I refer to them often.

I won’t post any of the article here. You can read it from the link below. https://slate.com/culture/2021/12/kenny-g-documentary-listening-hbo-max-penny-lane.html?fbclid=IwAR1DmErvzc90JjvLjR8gHV5u9I2DnfPVoCZgdf1e8S8MnWuSavanVz-4E8Q

It is December 2022. I asked Aidan just now and he confirmed it is next year.
