Just finished listening to this one; very nice!

Disc 2.

Disc 2.

First time I've heard this. What a wonderful singer.

I see no CDs offered on Ebay, and an Amazon reviewer from Spain wrote: Tomás Segura Salvador 1.0 out of 5 stars Es un LP y no un CD Reviewed in Spain on February 11, 2022 Verified Purchase No me ha gustado el formato.

But the listing could be in error; it might actually be an LP.

Amazon is currently offering a CD of Carnegie Blues for $14.29, apparently made by Universal: https://www.amazon.com/Jazz-At-Philharmonic-Lester-Carnegie/dp/B07896LHHR/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2KRU91QORFP86&keywords=lester+young+carnegie+blues&qid=1671235795&sprefix=lester+young+carnegie+blues%2Caps%2C116&sr=8-1

Just received the December 2022 issue. The disc features Franck's Symphony in D minor. I find I have only one other version of it, conducted by Toscanini.

Funny that they were basically an organ trio + percussionist.

They were a great band, and Danelli was a huge part of it. RIP.

Just got the book today. Huge book, as mentioned, but it's surprisingly lightweight. They do amazing things with paper technology these days.

March 3, 1968, from archive.org.

Seems like quite a few. These are currently available from Amazon:

I'm on the fence about this one. The format (long blowing jams on uninteresting standards) bores me - I barely made it through the JATP '40's box. All the usual suspects are here: Lady Be Good (2x), Indiana (2x), Idaho, Honeysuckle Rose, Tea For Two, Stomping' At The Savoy (3x). Nat Hentoff famously said that jazz is the sound of surprise, and, boy, this ain't it. Also, I already own the Getz/J.J. material, and an LP "JATP - The Coleman Hawkins Set" on Verve that may be duplicated here. Reviewing my collection, I see that I own far more '50's JATP on Pablo than I do on Verve: Frankfurt 1952, Tokyo 1953, and Hartford 1953.

True that.

416 pages of footnotes!?! Impressive! Is Sonny still working on his autobiography, or is this in lieu of that?

Interesting that they're now up to 5,000 copies. Perhaps they're regaining confidence in their business model.

Walter 68.

Wish I could find the quote. Thought it was in Lesh’s autobiography, but no.

I remember reading somewhere that Hart and Garcia saw Cream in concert in SF, and Hart was amazed at how big Cream were, and Garcia said something to the effect that the Dead will be that big someday.

I've subscribed for a few years now. I like the immersion into the classical music subculture. I've learned a lot, both from the articles and the monthly discs. As a jazz fan, I'm envious that the jazz subculture couldn't support a nice magazine like this (although I'm sure they're subsidized by the British government). Any fans of this great publication?
