OK, that's a little worrisome. That means it actually lost the itl file. If you remember: was the xml file still in there? What about the itdb files? And do you keep your music in that folder, or in a different location? (None of this ought to matter, of course, but now I'm really curious what awaits me down the road.) Oh, and here's a long shot: is there any chance you started the upgrade while logged in as a different user than the one who owns the iTunes files? Or is it possible that you manually set permissions on the iTunes directory at some point in the past? (I actually *do* set them so the directory is unwritable, for stupid reasons not worth getting into right now, but I suspect it's not common.)

Did it warn you you were about to overwrite the existing .itl file when you copied your backup copy back? (If not, then it is not due to indexing, and the file truly was missing or moved. The indexing may cause Spotlight to lose track of files, but it will not cause Finder to do so.)

In the twenties (and thirties, for that matter) St Louis was still one of the largest cities in the US, just outside the top 5. I speculate that a reference to St Louis was a mark of cachet everywhere in the country.

When the state of the world gets me down, I return to this thread, just to read JSngry's review of the music on this set, and things seem a little better after. (Listening to the music helps, too.)

What Operating System? What iTunes version? (On a Mac: iTunes->About iTunes. On Windows: left as an exercise for the unfortunate souls using Windows.) *What* exactly are you clicking on? Are you right-clicking the playlist name and selecting "burn to disc" or are you using the File menu? And, most importantly, what troubleshooting have you already done? A quick Google search with reasonable terms (iTunes burning wrong playlist) pops up an Apple support article, a bunch of discussions, suggested causes and solutions, etc. etc. I have no idea what's going on, but no one will be able to help without more details, I'm afraid.

Neat. And, yes: you need to re-tune new strings a few times during the first year, but I suspect that a professional instrument is tuned way more often than that regardless. Small aside: the A5 (the A above middle C) has more than one string on (almost?) all pianos. I wonder whether they all snapped or "just" one.

For those playing along at home, this is the video of the Prague concert that Fabio mentioned: Someone in the comments says it's Skeets Marsh (based on the same source I've seen, though). And here: It's pretty clearly not Butch Miles, despite what the uploader says. The Library of Congress agrees it's Skeets in '74 in Prague: https://www.loc.gov/item/jots.200028920/ Also, here's Basie in Sweden in 1974: You can see the drummer at 2:18.

The punctuation in this thread is like some sort of Gillespian dream. Fun! His name was spelled Marsh, not March. I had only seen his name in connection with Basie in 1974 on a tour of Europe with Oscar Peterson. He played in Sweden somewhere and in Prague, but I don't know where else. It turns out he also recorded with Milt Buckner for Black & Blue in 1973. In 1966, apart from those two dates in Milan and Paris, he also played with Duke in Geneva, Frankfurt, and Barcelona. Courtesy of Ken Vail's book: https://books.google.com/books?id=B9b-fWBgzVQC&pg=PA279&lpg=PA279&dq=skeets++drummer&source=bl&ots=-a3th5YXP3&sig=9HQJvcAsyzykPiQ6SGccPbuLdQw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjowr-pkbvdAhXRIjQIHb9PCe4Q6AEwBnoECAcQAQ#v=onepage&q=skeets%20%20drummer&f=false But, most interestingly: he appeared with Duke on the Ed Sullivan show in January of 1966! I haven't managed to find video of this, but that might be your best bet to see Skeets. If the web is to be trusted, he died in 1989.

Thank you for posting this, Jeff. (And those "Jazz Nocturne" Bechet CDs are annoyingly difficult to find. I got the MP3s from Amazon, of course, but I believe I only have one of the actual discs.) Edit: I take it all back: Amazon now lists all the CDs, too. Listening to Victoria Spivey with the Easy Riders Jazz Band now, in honour of BBB.

Your threads would be far easier to parse if you added "FS:" and "LF:" in your titles.

Agreed. The green tabasco is a bit closer, but still a different beast.

That one has my vote, too, when it comes to the kinds in bottles. It's more vinegar than hot, but that's OK. I was pleased to see it everywhere in New Orleans, so I'm being authentic. As for those crazy hot ones, I leave you with this:

It was! https://www.amazon.com/Roots-JIMMY-WEBSTER-BEN-WITHERSPOON/dp/B00000E7CB/ https://www.discogs.com/Jimmy-Witherspoon-Featuring-Ben-Webster-Roots/release/6396274

I would humbly suggest that the credibility of the copy in a catalogue trying to sell you stuff is down there with fox news'.

No, that's different. "Peanuts" is a noun. So in that cays "Works" would not be a verb, it would be a plural noun, and we're back to Birks' needing an apostrophe. (And, yes, I purposefully used a gerund there to make it extra confusing.) Now that we've fallen down this hole, we might as well go all the way: Another fun semantic possibility is that Works is like a factory or place of manufacturing, a synonym for "plant" in the sense of assembly plant. For example, "the Chevrolet works." And finally, "Birks" can be read as a noun adjunct, that is, a noun used as an adjective, like in "record cover" or "Rembrandt works," as in "I bought two Rembrandt works." (The latter is more commonly written as "I bought two of Rembrandt's works" or "I bought two Rembrandts," but the s-less variant is definitely in use. Well, perhaps not so much in use in the case of Rembrandt...) I can't wait to see how this thread develops.

Probably before, realize it was post-Europe Hawkins, mutter something about unnatural harmonies as I excuse myself to the kitchen for some gumbo (you have gumbo, right?), then return for the good stuff! Or is the Verve/JATP stuff something I'd enjoy? There's definitely 50's and after Hawkins I like: Cozy Cole's Big Seven, that standards album he did with Red Allen, the Art Ford Jazz Party thing, ...

The works-is-a-verb explanation would require a comma: "Dizzy Gillespie plays, Birks works." Either way, a small punctuation mark is missing.

The register you like, the bottom one, is called chalumeau. The one above, that you perhaps tolerate at times, is the clarion. Above that, the one you hate, is altissimo.

Reminder to self: if ever invited to jeffcrom's for the evening, arrive fashionably late.

I was all ready to say harp, then I saw Paul said classical guitar, and I was all "oh HELL yeah, that $#!& is boring!," and then I saw soulpope said flute and I was like "damnit, I hate them all!" Oh, cymbals are awful, too. Actually, having played trumpet in a symphonic orchestra, I more or less despise all percussion instruments (they're right behind the brass, usually). So there you have it: harp, classical guitar, flute, and many of the percussion instruments. Unless voice counts, in which case the lion's share of sopranos make the list. Basically I hate all music. What am I even doing here? Edit: should we have a thread about most-loved instruments to balance things out? PerhapsI can negate mikeweil's vote by listing clarinet there.

If you want to hear some New Orleans/Chicago style jazz, Cafe Borrone in Menlo Park (about halfway between San Jose and San Francisco) has a band playing most Friday evenings about 8-10 in the summer. It's led by Clint Baker and the exact personnel varies between weeks. https://www.cafeborrone.com/ Best to call ahead to make sure they're actually playing that Friday. Clint has been playing here for more than 25 years, since he started his own band while still in high school! For some very good gypsy jazz, Le Jazz Hot/The Hot Club of SF plays most Mondays 7-10 at Mr. Tipple's in SF. http://mrtipplessf.com/live-music/ They used to play regularly at Le Colonial, too (restaurant downstairs, jazz and bar upstairs), but I don't know whether that's still happening. I believe the management got fed up with the dancers that showed up. (Oh, right: Mr. Tipple's will have people dancing, too.) For a more varied menu of jazz (which isn't my jam, but it sounds like it is yours!), you can check out Savanna Jazz in San Carlos, just a little North (i.e., towards SF) of Menlo Park. http://www.savannajazz.com/ It's a pretty cozy place. They used to be in SF, but moved here about two years ago.

I'm confused what you're asking, as is probably everyone else. The only place the Savory things have been released on a physical medium is on Mosaic, in a boxed set. There is no "volume 4 CD", unless you mean the 4th disc in the Mosaic set. So perhaps, then, you mean "can someone please burn me a copy of the files they bought from iTunes." In which case I suggest you form your request in such a way that we can all tell whether you've bought your own copy or not, so we can examine our morals and see how we feel about making you a CD.

Rex Stewart (cn), Russell Smith, Bobby Stark (tp), Jimmy Harrison, Claude Jones (tb), Benny Carter (cl,as), Harvey Boone (as), Coleman Hawkins (ts), Fletcher Henderson (p), Clarence Holiday (g), John Kirby (b), Walter Johnson (d) Edit: and to answer your question about solos, yes, that's Hawk. The clarinet is Carter, of course. Rex Stewart is the trumpet/cornet solo, and Claude Jones the trombone one.

Netflix is extortion! They won't show me shows unless I sign up for their stupid service and pay a MONTHLY FEE! Can you believe it? What a bunch of jerks!

Yes on the Berigan! PM sent.
