Or "I really like Charlie Parker but Norman Granz made me play these tunes instead."

So the dam has broken, eh? I really like this one; has a lot more energy than his Virtuoso releases, which can sound sleepy: Not sure it's ever been released on CD. I never understood how an album titled "I Remember Charlie Parker" doesn't contain a single tune Bird wrote.

Great book in that set. Garth Hudson's a genius.

Because it's fun? Because they have limited financial resources to design something new, and this is a design they already own?

I actually didn’t much like Burrell’s Tenderly. He sounded rusty.

“Stateside” seems to be Warner’s “label” for the jazz titles (Roulette, etc.) they acquired from Universal when Uni was forced to divest them when they acquired EMI. The 10” reissue of Lee Morgan - The Roulette Sides was on “Stateside.” It’s a legit reissue. As for the Bethlehem, Dusty Groove’s description explains it all for you.

Thanks for all you do, Jim. I’m looking forward to the upgrade. Maybe it will allow me to give a “thumbs up”!

They also have 6 India Navigation titles, 379 Intakt titles, and 114 hat ART titles. And 218 hatOLOGY titles.

It's a shame that QJ isn't in touch with contemporary country music. The songs there have all the hooks, melodicism and compositional integrity he looks for.

A new release from Holly Cole! Release date February 16: 2018 release, the first album in five years from the Canadian jazz singer. Produced by Grammy Award winning producer Russ Titelman (Eric Clapton, Randy Newman, Ricki Lee Jones), and arranged by pianist extraordinaire Larry Goldings, Holly, was mostly recorded at Sear Sound Studio in New York City alongside an exemplary cast of both New York and Toronto based musicians. The recording comes complete with classics including "They Can't Take That Away From Me", "Everybody Loves Somebody" and "Teach Me Tonight" which showcase Holly's dynamic artistry while bringing currency to these timeless tracks. On creating the album, Holly recounts, "When I made this record I didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that I was excited; excited to work with producer Russ Titelman, excited to work at Sear Sound Studio in New York, a wonderful studio I had recorded songs from my "Temptation" recording in and excited to record with a whole new band that Russ Titelman had assembled."

Two interesting releases coming out. Release date February 9: Release date February 23 (released by Rhino):

This one's too weird. Paul Motian played at Woodstock in Arlo Guthrie's band: http://woodstock.wikia.com/wiki/Arlo_Guthrie

Was listening to the Woodstock album (yes, the 1969 festival, 3-LP set), and found the Woodstock Wiki website. Turns out that Glen Moore and Ralph Towner played at Woodstock, backing Tim Hardin: http://woodstock.wikia.com/wiki/Tim_Hardin

I'm with you.

Another two by Ralph Towner:

Johnny Smith was pretty amazing. Try to find The Man With The Blue Guitar (Roost; it's also on the Mosaic box).

Ralph Towner comes to mind. Check out Solo Concert (ECM).

Mickey Jones, a character actor who appeared in shows including “Justified” and “Home Improvement,” died Wednesday from the “effects of a long illness,” his publicist confirmed to Variety. He was 76. https://pagesix.com/2018/02/07/justified-home-improvement-actor-mickey-jones-dead-at-76/

Weird. I wonder why I never experienced this redirect. My bookmark is set to the unread content page; maybe that’s why.

This all sounds similar to something I encounter every so often when I visit a website (usually on Real Clear Politics). A couple of times a week, I'm on Real Clear and all of a sudden a message appears over the screen: "You've won an iPhone 8" etc etc, with a strange URL at the top of the screen. I think it's actually a form of advertising pop-up box (similar to what's becoming more common on a lot of news web sites, where you want to read an article but an ad appears over the article and you must X to get out). I've found the solution in those cases to be simple: go to the URL box at the top of the screen, and enter a different web site. The problem message disappears. And if I then go back to Real Clear, I don't encounter the problem again (at least for that day).

I have not. In fact, my connections with the board, especially since the upgrade, have been fast and flawless.

Delete your bookmark and create a new one.

I have "The Happy 'Bird'" from the Charlie Parker Records box. 4 tracks on the album; 3 are from 4/12/51, but I Remember April, with Twardzik, is indeed from December 1952. It appears to be from the same gig that's on the Uptown disc, but interestingly does not appear on the Uptown disc!

Wasn't aware of the unreleased Bird, but yeah, that's the one. There have been prior discussions on this board about it, but there's been radio silence for a couple of years now.
