My favorite I Love Lucy trivia is that the director of photography, Karl Freund, had been the cinematographer for Metropolis.

Loads of great stuff for free on archive.org, from many '50s Basie airchecks to hours of Bob & Ray.

I'm in the opposite boat. With a Rhapsody subscription on my Kindle Fire and Spotify on computers I'm catching up on all sorts of artists I was aware of but hadn't really heard. This morning I was listening to some Ravish Momin.

I don't think any of the tenors between Trane and Wayne really fully meshed into the quintet, though I do enjoy Mobley's playing at the Blackhawk. But I think Stitt was a total mismatch, and Coleman just not good enough at the time (he more than made up for it in later years). While I love Rivers' sound, once again I don't think he really became part of the fabric of the group.

If any of the Montgomery brothers misbehaved they'd have to deal with Endora.
