A couple of weeks ago I went to the Whitney Museum in NYC. In the bookstore I saw a display of Mosaic Armstrong and Ellington boxes in support of their show "Archibald Motley: Jazz Age Modernist." I thought that was pretty hip of them. I wonder if they worked up a deal with Mosaic for that.

Got mine yesterday. Kind of sad to see Selects and Singles reduced to one page each. I also noticed on the cover it says: "Annual Edition: 2015"

Ottawa 70

There's a website called the Internet Archive that has a page called the "Wayback Machine." You can search for old websites that the organization has been archiving for many years. You might give that a try.

His version of Sconsoloto is great! On this album - worth picking up, for sure.

He does an exceptional job with that tune!

He did a couple Brazilian albums in the 80's And also: "Brazil Song (Cancoes Do Brazil)" in '84

Professional production complete Opeth concert. Sounds like they got themselves a Melotron.

Thanks, Jim. Yep, that guy has some chops, that's for sure. "Dusty Ciggaar"? Really?

I think I just figured it out. You CAN just paste the link, but you then NEED to hit "Enter".

I can't seem to get YouTube videos to display. Anybody else having this problem?

Eddie Jefferson anyone??

Sounds interesting - thanks, Steve!

Didn't Jim say the site was re-indexing VERY slowly? Sounded like it was going to take several days to complete. Maybe that's the current problem.

Mark Murphy - absolutely!

It's like anything else. Some vocalists can do it, others can't. You might as well ask: "Drum solos: Do they please?"

Considering it was in the Sports Section, I thought it was pretty good.

The newest album by Swedish band Dungen is pretty good. I would say about 1/2 of it sounds very Soft Machine-like.

I like it a LOT. Originally had the 2LP set, and was excited when the 4CD set came out. I think it has a great 'club vibe' to it and the performances are inspired. I think the knock on it is mostly about Mobley. Needless to say, he's not as adventurous as Trane or Shorter, but for me that doesn't matter.

I remember seeing him with Art Blakey way back when. One of Art's under-rated groups, I think. Valery was good in the ensemble, which also had Bobby Watson and David Schnitter.

On the afternoon of the 15th I might try to check out this at the Stone: John Zorn's Bagatelles: Uri Caine, John Medeski

Anything you recommend for Nov 13-15? I'm planning to see the Mingus Big Band at Jazz Standard on the 16th.
