It's no longer listed under "Last Chance" or in the boxed set listing. So I guess now it's gone. (Unless they find some more copies.)

It looks like the Lunceford is still available; probably was just a bad link.

More details have emerged about Apple’s 50th anniversary release of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. As expected, the album will come in several formats, including a deluxe box set with a new 5.1 mix of the album by producer Giles Martin, the son of the album’s original producer George Martin, as well as an unreleased early version of the album entitled Liverpool Stories. Liverpool Stories contains early versions of songs that would end up on Pepper, as well as several songs that have never before been released in any format. In fact, the existence of these tracks had escaped the notice of even the most ardent Beatles bootleggers. More here: http://www.culturesonar.com/beatles-liverpool-stories-album/

I think my next two sets will be the Chick Webb and the new Lester.

Another singer I really like is Stacey Kent. bandsintown.com suggested this list of similar artists, who may indeed also play in supper clubs: Jim Tomlinson·Jane Monheit·Sara Gazarek·Karrin Allyson·Emilie-Claire Barlow·Robin McKelle·Patricia Barber·Eliane Elias·Roberta Gambarini·Diane Schuur·Dianne Reeves·Ann Hampton Callaway·Dee Dee Bridgewater·Viktoria Tolstoy·Diana Krall·Madeleine Peyroux·Lizz Wright·Rebekka Bakken·Terez Montcalm·Dena DeRose·John Pizzarelli·Lyambiko·Till Brönner·Malia·Lisa Ekdahl

Allyson doesn't look very happy or comfortable being posed in that way. Still, I'd rather see that cover than this one, which gives off a Cabaret-type vibe: Anyway, I think in the milieu she works in (supper clubs and the like), it's expected that a woman be well-dressed and somewhat alluring. It comes with the job.

But just as Mount Everest continues to tempt expert climbers, “Stardust” has a combination of otherworldly beauty and technical challenge that has made it incredibly alluring to generation after generation of musicians and vocalists. While we don’t have the time or space to rank the over 1,500 renditions of “Stardust” that have been recorded, here’s a list of fifty that climb to significantly higher elevations than Dylan’s version — and, just so we don’t completely pile on the poor guy, we’ve picked out another three that barely make it out of base camp.

This was my first exposure to Bob Stewart: The band had 4 tuba players! Besides Stewart, it had Howard Johnson, Joseph Daley, and Earl McIntyre. I also remember him on this:

eMusic used to carry a bunch of those weird N-H downloads. I wonder whether whoever put them out misappropriated the company name, since they seemed so out of character from what N-H used to release. eMusic no longer carries those downloads.

Per Wikipedia, "The Grip" (on India Navigation) was recorded and released before "Bush Baby." What weird is they say "In The Tradition" was released before "Lenox Avenue Breakdown." I seem to recall Lenox being released first.

Is that Nagel Heyer download still available?

I have a CD by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt. It came for free inside a package of "Kitchens of India" Indian prepared food I got in a supermarket. I have another disc in the series with performances by Pandit Hariprasad Chauasia, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pandit Ramnarayan, and Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. Food was pretty good too!

I finished reading the book last night. The last chapter on Winston Walls was very poignant. We all know how that feels - it was such a great era, and you look around, and who can you share that with? I felt parallels with a movie I saw recently, "Deli Man," about the rise and fall of delicatessens in America. Such wonderful food, exemplifying a culture, and yet they've almost all disappeared. If you choose to post here more often, whether in this or in other threads, you'll find you're among people who know who Winston Walls was.

I have fond memories of that Columbia series in the late '70's that put older albums into new covers with a $2.99 price point: Bud Powell - A Portrait of Thelonious, Art Farmer Plays the Great Jazz Hits, and the like.

Listening now to:

Don't forget:

R.I.P. I'll spin this one tonight...

Scott just confirmed: "Yes! Non-Billie Holiday recordings with Teddy from 1934-42!"

In an email exchange with Scott Wenzel regarding an order, he mentioned he's "been transferring Teddy Wilson sides for an upcoming set."
