Hey folk, I hadn't been to "William P. Gottlieb - Photographs from the Golden Age of Jazz" for a while, and they seem to have added some new Monk photos (or maybe they were there for some time and I didn't see them?) of Monk at Minton's that are really fun to look at! Monk at this time fascinates me! This may be my favorite:

Yes, it's on the Mosaic!

Wayne could definitely have been "deeply involved" and not caught galley proof errors, etc. because an artist or subject is rarely that involved in production minutiae. I think that the quote from Joe shows a lot about how Joe saw Wayne at the time and is enlightening of his outlook . . . .

DOH! VI REDD! Thank you Maren!

He was a generous man. I mean I am certain he profited from his sales to us, but he could have sold these to others for more, I'm also certain of that. One purchase that sticks out in my mind was four XRCDs in minilp format of Miles Davis Prestiges Workin', Steamin', Cookin' and Relaxin'. . . . Beautiful Japanese cds in both looks and sound, and at a price I could afford. And there are four Kenny Drew Trio cds that I purchased from him that I really enjoy. And I managed to get a copy of the Blue Train JRVG from him that I listened to just last night. Ken and I occasionally exchanged emails about the board and about music, and I wish we had done so more often!

I'm sure I enjoyed it more than my wife did, but my wife thought it was a very good film. She liked it a LOT more than Tannenbaums. She really did NOT like that movie. Go figure. The couple we went to see it with are a former HR coworker of mine and his Brazilian girlfriend. (She's really German, from a German town in Brazil, though she knows Portuguese.) She was confused by a lot of the movie, but she's confused by almost every movie, but she said "Was very fun."

Oh, I have several copies of the material, I just sort of want to have the TOCJ Bethlehem cd version one day!

Alright! I wish they had "East Coasting."

I think it's a middle-aged thing. I didn't feel removed from the characters, or that the plot was disjointed in any real way. This resonated with me now than it certainly would have twenty years ago!

Red Trumpet may well have it on hand: http://www.redtrumpet.com/software/item.ph...&sid=1213764969

RAY CHARLES BABY!

Walmart can still be a good source for popular cds. Dusty Groove is good too, and Amazon. . . . Or so I've heard. . .

F'in' Marshall Allen.

Well, I have at least half these! Can I just cut down on my posting by 50%?

And Dave Schildkraut

I kindof am mad at this lp/cd. . . ever since it first came out my brother Lester has been calling himself "The Nightfly." At least he's never realized he could call himself "Pres"!

I used Media Mail too, and the covered wagons are moving very slowly this holiday season. . . . I should point out what I meant to say was I got my SECOND order but not my first yet; I ordered the second a day or so after the first!

I certainly don't think Macero is a "bozo!"

I got the SECOND one a few days ago. .. .

No arguments. How about Derek Humble. FANTASTIC! Charles Tyler!

Okay, I know all about the stigma that the alto has for some. A lot of alto players don't get talked about much, some deservedly so. Here's a guy that should be talked about though: T. K. Blue, or Talib Kibwe if you will. Long a musical director/frontliner for Randy Weston, and also a leader in his own right. The man can PLAY!

I'm considering going to see Branford here in town next month. . . I have a feeling he'll play this (?)

Been listening to the "Nuits de Saint-Germain-des-Pres" Django item in the series. If only Django had lived on into the following decades! There are elements in his playing here that I think would have really blossomed and maybe paved a different path for the guitar. He seemed to be really moving towards an exploration of the sound of the electric guitar in his own way. . . .

Just got that "Melody" Flurin; going to have to listen to it soon!
