Note I have been getting weird messages that Chrome is not compatible anymore .... I have been playing these reels in Edge.

This should be fun ... Michael Weiss as musician host, spinning his own selections and commenting on the music, with interview by Phil Schaap at the end.

There's been an absolute ton of Percy France uploads the last month or so and the vast majority were not ones that the librarian had shared with me as items that were being digitized ... but Buddy Tate has appeared in the archive:

Actually its not as if Tate was not captured at the West End - but the other recordings are with the Countsmen, sharing the front line with Wells, Cheatham, Warren.

Joey Defrancesco makes his first appearance in the archive - in fine sound

So does Sir Roland Hanna

Nice, thanks for letting us know!

The Billy Bauer one in the archive achieves the impossible; someone who can out-talk Phil! 

I sent a link to two friends of mine who studied with him, and they're spending hours listening to it. BB's studio was located above a bar, so his tongue was very loose. One of my friends said he could write a book just about the lessons.

The one with Joe Dixon is pretty special to me, because it's got 1/8th of a session i played on with Joe. I did most of the arranging,, and wrote some tunes for it, too. Phil was selling it on his website for a lot of bread, and then he passed. I wonder if the archive will include stuff like that? At least I got part of it.

Thank you, such amazing treasures, indeed.

For some reason I listened yesterday to the Gunther Schuller interview around Louis Armstrong. Exceptional. And having Schuller saying that after the end of his evening job at the MET orchestra as horninst in the 40s, he went ahead to the 52 street etc. to see the Bird, Gillespie, Monk et al. ignoring *then* Satchmo who was so hostile to the new music.
