  4. This story makes me wonder, how much is yet to be discovered. I wonder can someone just go to the library of congress and peruse through the bins or piles of broadcasts?
  5. Although two days late, Happy 100 Benny Goodman.

  7. Wow, the Queen also has a gold plated wii The Royal Wii by Mike Krumboltz Buzz up! The Nintendo Wii has positioned itself as the gaming console for everybody. As it turns out, that includes the Queen of England. Well, sort of. It's not like Her Royal Highness went down to Wal-Mart and bought one with her summer job savings. Rather, she was given a special version by gaming company THQ. Wii are definitely amused. What makes the Queen's "Royal Wii" different? It's gold-plated, sucka! None of that lame white plastic for Buckingham Palace — the Queen needs her bling! Gaming blog Joystiq reports that the gaming company is hopeful that the PR stunt "will amuse Queen Elizabeth." Meanwhile, Geek.com writes that the gift is actually meant to build awareness for the upcoming game, Big Family Games. An ulterior motive? What?!? As the geeks put it, "for a game that is meant to include the whole family from kids to grandparents what better family to send it to than The Royal Family in England." According to Game Revolution, Big Family Games is a collection of mini-games, including "golf, tennis, ladder golf, lawn darts, horseshoes, bocce," and more. So far, search interest is rather scant. However, should the Queen declare her love for the gift, expect the title to get a right honorable boost in the Buzz. Silly as that sounds, it's not out of the realm of possibility -- according to insiders, she was "addicted" to playing Prince William's Wii last Christmas. Now she'll have one of her own.

  9. I just pulled it out and listened to the first track. It is most definitely an audience recording.
  10. I bought this not knowing it was a boot. Interesting to hear him play with T.S. Monk on drums.
  11. I know of two tunes he wrote, "Dizzy Spells" and "Bughouse."
  12. Wow, 35 years ago I started to read the Archies and now it is going into the next gear.
  13. Chucky Freddie Jason
  14. As much as I dig Gene Harris, these won't ever be issued. As you said there isn't a market for the Three Sounds. Maybe Blue Note can go the route of Verve and offer their vault on iTunes.
  15. Gil Evans Miles Davis Nefertiti
  16. Leopold Stokowski Mickey Mouse Long-Haired Hare
  17. Old Mother Goose John Newbery Charles Perrault
  18. Exactly. I was listening to his CD "Mysterious Blues" on Candid today and "Vassarlean" stood out as a tune I would have thought other artists would have recorded. I don't find any other artists that recorded this piece.
  19. Wow, I just checked out his myspace and listened to some of his recordings. I will be buying some of Stowell 's records. Thanks for turning me on to him.
  20. An element of this may be true, but I think there has to be some other reason too.

    Mr. Mingus

    I wonder why almost all of his compositions have been overlooked by other jazz artists. Everyone plays Monk tunes, or Ellington, but why not Charles Mingus?
  22. I am looking more for compositions other then improvising.
  23. I think this may be against boards policies.
