He was my favorite part of Laugh-In & I enjoyed watching him in other television and film roles over the years. Thanks, Mr. Gibson.

The recordings with Johnny Otis were done in December, 1951 and were available on The Complete Ben Webster on EmArcy. The Ben Webster/Gerry Mulligan Verve sides were also recorded in California.

All the best on your birthday!!

Now that you're back to being a working man, the next 5000 may take even longer - but that's a good thing.

Don't get Dan started.

I see your point, but would like to add I've really enjoyed the Jimmy Witherspoon and have listened to it repeatedly. Me too! That's a great album and kudos to Mosaic for reissuing it. I can't comment on the Wein album as I don't own that one. I think JAW's point was not that these aren't good albums--they are--but that they're odd choices, and I have to concur on that point. There are some odd choices among those singles even by the "more established" artists. I was surprised by the J. J. Johnson choice, for example, because there was some really good jazz stuff he recorded in his other RCA albums (especially "The Total J. J. Johnson") that had to be left out. Likewise, while "Woody's Winners" is a great album, Woody's Columbia material would have made a fine select. greg mo I don't remember posting anything here about those albums Believe that was Ciff Englewood, not Hans.

Great to hear good news from Bruce! & Thanks for posting the photo. Paps - All the best to you. Glad it was detected early. That will make all the difference.

It's all good - at least up to a certain point in time, imo. I'll just throw in a mention of Tour de Force - one that deserves listening to.

Maybe they'll sell a bunch of copies right away and that will help their financial situation.

Rosemary DeCamp Bob Cummings Dwayne Hickman

Great one, Jeff!

Samuel Pepys Henry David Thoreau Anne Frank

Actually, I believe that there was an interview with Charles Tyler in Cadence that could be useful for an oral history of Albert Ayler.

Paul Bley & Cecil - yeah. Charles Tyler passed on in 1992.

Bill Monbouquette John Larroquette Etta Kett

It would be nice to see a jazz thread ignite this kind of excitement.

Got mine in New York, about 10 years ago... bet Jack had it cheaper! Don't remember exactly, but $7-8 sounds about right.
