It's a sad day. Despite how anyone felt about him talking too much, he loved the music and beyond a doubt it is why WKCR still has jazz programming.

Another one from the Jazz Museum in Harlem. Cannonball and Jackie McLean on the left and right, but who is in the middle? Any idea?

Sonny is 91 today. Happy Birthday to him.

Are streaming companies streaming in High definition audio or MP3?

BBC article on this. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-58423452

If we can expand on this topic and ask, which streaming service has the most robust jazz catalog, I would like to hear what others have to say. I’ve been using iTunes. My issue with iTunes, sometimes your search doesn’t return a complete result. For example I did a search on charles McPherson and not every session shows in the results. When I put in the exact title the missing ones appear.

RIP.

Thanks, Mike, for all the discographies you’ve created.

I got this set earlier in the year. Those on the fence wondering if to get it, I like it. The music is good on all discs.

Wayne turned 88 today. Happy birthday.

Big loss. RIP, Charlie.

I have these. All are very nice. I have this one too. It is very good. I don't have the Lee Konitz album. I will look to get that one. Thanks.

What a tragic loss it was when he died in his mid 40’s. He led just a handful of session in the 70’s and early 80’s. I have all six he led or co-led as a leader. There are many albums where he is a sideman. I like His playing on Archie Shepp’s “Ballads for Trane.” Any other good recordings with Dailey to check out?

RIP.

thanks

Today on Bird Flight Phil played the last performance of Parker with Strings, a concert from the 27th of August 1954. I don't believe I have this one. Does anyone know if this was ever issued?

Many. For me it was Wes.

I guess that’s why he is the best

Monk, Coleman Hawkins, Don Byas, Denzel Best. Who’s on bass and drums?

David Williams trio. Kenny Barron piano and Willie Jones III drums. Mezzrow.

I just got one from someone claiming to be the CIA. There is suspicious activity performed from my computer on line. I was in the mood to play along. I replied, "Oh no, I didn't do anything wrong." I was then told I need to provide my personnel information to ensure I am who I am. So I made up a fake make, Terry Chambers. and a fake SS number and fake birth date.. I was having so much fun, but the called was ended. I guess he thought he had enough what he needed. Whenever I get any of these calls, the person at the other end, is differently not from the US. The accent is so strong, they seem to sounds Jamaican and not American.

Tony has retired after his two concerts last week with Lady Gaga. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/tony-bennett-retires-from-performing-1211694/?fbclid=IwAR0DERWBzZ6k6KM9vOK4NUEnGVLj9Dw0niRJ5fh3jhChmkWtg8iMCtOxJZI

I don’t know.

Here is sample of the recording.
