  1. Ella Fitzgerald - "Twelve Nights in Hollywood" (Verve) -- a present for my wife.
  2. I just happened to listen to Friday night, disc 1, last night.
  3. Terry Teachout - "Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong"
  4. Welcome back Alan! Thanks!
  5. Yeah, I have an empty trumpet case as well as all the box sets except for "On the Corner" -- too bad I can't just buy that set...
  6. The Verve / Phillips Dizzy Gillespie Small Group Sessions (disc 3).
  7. Sad to hear. I was just reading his essay on Dizzy Gillespie in his book "You Can't Steal a Gift" last week.
  8. I'm going to try to make it there tomorrow. I'm hoping it won't be too crazy.
  9. Ordered the Ellington Small Groups and the McCoy Tyner select.
  10. Any thought on the Duke Ellington Small Groups set?
  11. It was an excellent show. The compositions were great, good solos, the band members were having a good time and sounded very in tune with each other. If only there was more room to sit!
  12. Some people you know?
  13. I'll be at the David S. Ware show tomorrow night. I also plan to be at the Art Museum next Friday night to hear a certain group play.
  14. Yes, it would. Let me know your email address.
  15. There was also some strange purple and red lighting on Randy, which made him look rather otherworldly in my color shots. Maybe I'll post one later...
  16. Thanks, everyone. I hope I can get to the January show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
  17. In October, Ron S. dragged me out of my cave and I made it out to Organissimo's 10/10 show at NXNW in Philadelphia. They played a great set. I took a few photos. (You can find a couple other photos here.)
  18. A friend of mine named one of his sons "Miles." I have a cat named Blakey.
  19. I'm not sure if Katchor's still running the "The Forward," but he has a weekly strip called "Hotel and Farm." You can see this week and last week's strip on his site.
  20. "Purple Haze" was also released domestically by MusicMasters. I have that version, but haven't listened to it in a few years. If I remember correctly, it was good, but not outstanding.
  21. Legacy PR announced today a 12/26 release date. Miles Davis – The Cellar Door Sessions 1970 – 6 CD box (Columbia/Legacy) Dec 27 (Just in time for the fifth night of Hanukah.)
  22. Duke Ellington – Love You Madly / A Concert of Sacred Music at Grace Cathedral - DVD (Red Dist.) Nov 15 — 1965; 116 minutes; B&W Released today!
