On my list.

87 years old. An amazing interviewer.

The best I ever seen play the game.

Is Gerry Mulligan playing a curved soprano.

I think you're right, Dan. I've listened to a number of concerts at this place. Considering this was acquired nearly six years ago, I never came across any of the recordings at the library. I've even searched tonight the catalog and didn't see anything. https://catalog.nypl.org/search~S1?/j*LDCO+796+%5BCD%5D/j*ldco++++796+[cd]/-53,-1,0,B/browse

café.lupe, New York. that’s where I saw him perform.

RIP, Junior. Thanks for all the music.

RIP, Sammy

This was fast. It is one of the most recent sets to get issued.

It’s a mom and pop brick and mortar store. I didn’t check the ones in the photos but I believe they are CD versions. Yelp has a 4.1 out of 5 rating. Don’t know if they ship.

Yes that’s the place. yeah, I only went inside since I had a doctor’s appointment around the block.

7 Mosaic sets at the local shop today. The one not in view, the Lou Donaldson 1950's Blue Note. 40 USD to 90 USD. I have all but the Cecil Taylor and Lou Donaldson. The prices all seem to be a bargain. I bought the Donaldson for 69.99 (#0902). Has the market on Mosaic sets calmed down? These all appear to be under priced.

RIP.

Really? That SOB.

I got it from a collector. That's all there is.

I posted a recording on my Facebook group of Percy France from the mid 1980s. The pianist on that date is Cliff Smalls. Great if it is John Patton on your recording, Dan. https://www.facebook.com/groups/327260927975997

Amazing.

yeah. NYC, like so many other places was hit real hard.

The many institutions that closed in NYC during this pandemic. https://www.curbed.com/article/nyc-businesses-closed-2020-pandemic.html?fbclid=IwAR0q_c4SOwB6ONoF_KIN0_lLMTCWtfGcQaMpAfO3hmL3UrHmvHvFjSrZFJo

Thanks. I’ll report that to the museum.

Who is this woman with Benny Carter and Alec Wilder? Photo provided by the National Jazz Museum of Harlem. They are trying to ID her.

The auction is up to $282. I stopped bidding at 80 dollars.
