Yeah, noticed that too. If they went back to a cheaper format, without the record lists, and with more of the interviews (they must have dozens already in the can), the magazine might actually survive. I suspect there will be some kind of online presence, although Bob Rusch has stated for a long time that they don't do online. We'll see. Their "listmaster" email updates are hilarious--sort of. For the last, oh, say, 40, emails, they go through this whole spiel, Cadence books, audio, records, etc "will continue to function" in big letters. They must think their audience are a bunch of dumb asses. Rusch, we got it! I've had the same feelings you have, but I guess they want to make it clear to new email recipients that other aspects of Cadence "will continueto function". I hope that the magazine will continue in some form.

Ellington Small Groups - disc 6

Recognized Hank and LaVern but, like Jack, I was a late riser today.

Great news! Thanks for posting this. Hard to tell if all the alternates, etc. that have been released in the past will be on this, but I'm sure the sound will be better than previous issues, and this is probably all I'll need. Perhaps I can do some housecleaning of my shelves when this is issued.

Only for old guys like ourselves.

Wayne Cochran

The Classics probably has all of her Atlantic sides. Two of them were released on a double LP set in the 1980s - Atlantic Blues - Vocalists. That's what I have. It was later reissued on CD.

Fine singer. Years ago, heard someone on the radio say that she sings like she's not wearing any underwear. In addition to her Bluebird/Victor material, her last recordings on Atlantic are well worth hearing too.

I'm pretty sure that Jack is correct. Here's a much more recent photo of Lana Cantrell. She eventually left the music biz and became a lawyer.

Angelo Dundee Dandy Don Meredith Meredith Monk

Nolan Ryan - Blew By You

J.J. Johnson Columbia Small Groups - disc 2

Eric Dolphy: Stockholm Sessions (Enja) Already had the LP, but, for me, Dolphy is one of those musicians worth buying the CD to get an extra track.

Just checked for a good friend's store - The Three Arts, Poughkeepsie, NY - and it's on there. (No link with this )

Did you click on the thumb? Looks like it's U.S.- and Canada-only. Sorry - my bad.

McCabe and Mrs. Miller Mrs. Miller Golden Throats

My wife is a Godfather afficianado - at least 1 & 2. She can even quote dialogue as the films are playing. She says she definitely prefers Godfather 2. I'm not into mob films, so I have no opinion. I'll cast my vote for her choice.

That'd be a good box set (though I already have it all in some form or another). Was there a particular reason that Chappaqua Suite wasn't issued in the U.S.? I think it is French-owned, basically. Don't know if that's the reason... At the time, both Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar (whose music was used in the film) were, in some artsy circles, considered "more hip", and perhaps "cooler", and their music more appropriate for a druggy cult film that had aspirations. (If you weren't around then, you have no idea how the sound of the sitar seemed to bring out the pipes, and Glass' music was hypnotic and "trippy", man...)_ Did Ornette take back his score, and make his own deal to have CBS France release it? I thought I had a copy of it, but can't find it right now, but if someone has it, is there anything in the credits/notes? I don't remember. (It WAS a druggy era. Not me, but ya know...) The official line from the film's director, Conrad Rooks, was that Ornette's soundtrack was too strong and too beautiful for the film. I have no idea what the real reason for dropping Ornette's music was. Rooks' statement always sounded like b.s. to me. It would be interesting to know why Columbia issued Chappaqua Suite in France and Japan, but not in the U.S. Thanks, Paul...that Rooks reference does resonate. "Too strong for the film" is accurate, as I recall. I don't know if I'd even bother watching it these days. 'Way past its shelf date. I saw the film when it was released and there wasn't much there then.

The lonely woman on the Atlantic/London cover was top model Sondra Peterson . Saw her a number of times when she was French jazz radio broadcaster (and director of Jazz Magazine) Daniel Filipacchi's companion. Filipacchi later headed Hachette Publications in France and the USA. Always wondered who was on the cover. Amazing what one can learn here.
