Art Ford's Jazz Party TV show

[Hardbopjazz]

Anyone recall this show or know more about it? The discussion came up at lunch while talking to one of the security guards.

In my office a lot of sites are blocked including youtube so I can't check. It appears to have aired weekly from the Newark's Mosque Theater. This is all I can dig up at the moment. But from what I was told at lunch, I would love to track down these shows.

Parts of shows have turned up on cds/DVDs. There's some good stuff on the Coleman Hawkins 100th Anniversary disc as well as on a Billie Holiday collection. (I'm not 100% sure of all this. I'll check my collection when I get home.)

Go to the Museum ot Television and Radio in NY or LA. There all there for the price od admission. You go to a private booth. I've seen Pres, Billie, Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge, and many others (my memory is failing)

While you're there ask for library assistance. It will blow your mind what they have for viewing. Ask about 'A Contemporary Memorial', which was a tribute to RFK after the assassination, and featured Duke, Horace Silver with Randy Brecker and Fathead, Bill Evans and symphony orchestra, Grady Tate with Richard Wyands, Joe Williams----on and on. It's in 2 parts, make sure to ask for both. This was never commercially available, to my knowledge.

Damn, I live here and never thought of checking out the museum of television and radio.

Whoah! That sounds like a real treasure trove. A couple years back I attended a presentation by the Library of Congress's Studio Engineer/Supervisor Larry Appelbaum (AKA the guy who found the Monk/Coltrane at Carnegie Hall tapes) where he talked about the amazing things he'd found in the Library's holdings, and speculated about what has yet to be found...

All I know is, there's a lot of gold out there.
