I remember him in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back To School." He played Rodney's right-hand man in a severely underwritten part that basically called on him to show up in scenes and nod. I see that he was also in a very good Peter Falk movie, "All The Marbles."

Enjoy. Let us know if he has any wild raps in-between tunes.

The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 20.

Nice. He was a very interesting, talented artist, very much of his time.

Listening now to the PJJ. Sound quality is listenable: a little rough, but all instruments can be heard (bass is especially listenable, and PJJ is very clear and lively). The first set (with Reece, Red, Gilmore, Hope and Ridley) is musically fantastic.

RIP. She was around for as long as I've been aware of jazz.

The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 19.

Decca - The Mono Years, disc 46. Also includes:

Listening now to this. Sound quality is very good, very natural, lifelike and professional-sounding. Miles's playing is excellent, and he's blending well with his pickup group. Very enjoyable.

I also use Apple Music (aka iTunes) to rip; however, I rip @ Apple Lossless.
