I just returned from a music documentary festival, where I saw It must schwing The Blue Note story. It's basically a tribute to Lion and Wolff, but it's also a very good story from the beginnings in Berlin to the final sale to Liberty. Nothing else. So it's just the story of the label that was. And it features the story nicely. Produced by Wim Wenders. And also featuring, I remember now, the last interview with RVG.

Thanks very much

But is this one already on sale? Wasn't it to be released on November 7th?

I have this but haven't read it yet.

I love the title on that one, and the cover too!

This is a terrific Select. I particularly like Dick Twardzik's half LP. Although Rowles and Fischer are also great.

Yes, I'm afraid so. They didn't have the LPs either when I looked today. Although I was looking for the CDs.

That was an error on the part of the manager of the store. I've been there today to pick up my box, but surprise! it wasn't there. Only the Grits, Beans and Greens double CD, as I had already feared (the quoted price was more in line with a double than with a 12 CD box). But as the cover is the same she thought it was what I had mentioned and she kept it apart for me. As I was already there she asked the Purchases manager who told her there was no news about that box. So, again I'll have to wait until December 6th, at least...

One is waiting for me at Jazz Messengers, the brick and mortar shop. It's reserved. Then I'll have it before December 6th.

Yes, it must be. I'm a guitarist and guitar nut myself. I meant a Gibson ES335, which is a semi-acustic guitar and a typical bluesmachine: B.B. King played one and I own one too,

Is that a 335 on the cover? It looks like that, though the trussrodcover is somewhat strange. That's where the image is a bit blurred.

I like their Music has the right to children. I might be mistaken, but I think that's was it was called. It was their first album. Boards of Canada!

and Very nice woogie boogie, in the first case, and celestial dixieland, in the second. and from the 5000 series!

Agreed! Me too.

Thanks. Then I'll have to wait.

Is that really so? I was going to go out to look for it tomorrow after my smartphone reminded me of its release date on Sept. 27, which I had already forgotten.

I have it but still haven't read it.

I have always, since The Power of the Dog, liked Winslow very much. The Power of the Dog was the first of his novels I read.

Today I've finally finished this. It's a fat read (716 pages) wich marks the end of the misadventures of DEA special agent Art Keller in his fight against drugs and finally against the War on Drugs. So as Winslow himself admits, this is a trilogy together with The Power of the Dog and The Cartel, which I've both read. His last novel, The Force, is the one I liked least, perhaps because it changed his familiar terrain of the fight against drugs and cartels to the police force of NYC. Continued straight away with this: Jazz in Barcelona 1920-1965. Jordi Pujol is the head of Fresh Sound, so he knows what he's talking about.

I saw a girl from the audience talking to him too after the show.

That is terrible news, And I just saw him in 2017 with Eric Alexander. And I mostly enjoy his playing with Wes Montgomery on that live recording from Paris on his European tour of 65 out on Resonance.

A small boxset with only three CDs. The sound is so-so, but the performance is first rate.

I also have that edition from that time and like it a lot. Though I don´t know about the edited/unedited status of the tracks. Oh sorry, now I see that post was from 2016 and I think I got it at least 10 years earlier.
