SFAIK, no one has asked him about his apparent resistance to allowing Coltrane to record with Monk on other labels.

Moved in to this category in the last day or so.

Wonder what Harry Belafonte's experience was?

I thought this thread would ask about the number of members it takes for the software to implement flood control!

Anyone any inside information? Like the Jacquet and just ordered the Ellington.

Your Wyndhaming up! (One of the other three is on Wyndham Lewis.)

A number of the CDs in this series (Don Ellis' "Electric Bath", Giuffre's "Free Fall" and "It's Monk's Time") have turned up in US editions with additional material.

Johnny, the Jazz Journalists Association did a nice tribute.

The Jazz Scene, originally published under the pseudonym of Francis Newton (the trumpeter Frankie Newton had communist leanings).

I've found on smaller orders that the surface option is perfectly acceptable. It takes about four weeks to the UK rather than under a week using Airmail.

This comment contains a spoiler, so be warned. Unfortunately, both Double Indemnity and The Lost Weekend are absent from this list (possibly Wilder's best films). The Apartment probably suffers from overlength; it is take too long for the Shirley MacLaine character realise that Lemmon's character loves her. The Front Page is only worth watching if you have a taste for gallows humour. As for The Great Race save the tape for something else; it's one of those anonymous big budget efforts. Hope this helps.

Phographs of Jazz musicians are used as an inspiration for stories about them, around these the journeys of Duke and Harry Carney, across the continental United States, are used as a framing device. No user of the board would be unmoved by this book.

I'd begun to assume that he'd be the next Jazz Musician to make it to a Century.

But this would be reminiscent of the Goodman and Master Jazz Piano sets which briefly became available again a couple of years ago, assuming this is not a red herring.

What's your source of information? Later: Proven to be a malicious imagination.

LP or CD or simply a seedy thread.

Come back as soon as you can!

Check this Tubby Hayes item or this one.

Chuck's "last 500" comment was on the BNBB last January. He also mentioned then that the set was on sale at Tower.com, but in the end they could not send one to me. I know such an experience is not uncommon with Tower... BTW, the set is no longer listed on the Music Resource site.

The last batch of LPRs on this side of the pond (the Kühn/McFarland, Pee Wee Russell etc) came in LP style sleeves as before. If your really desperate for freedom from digipaks, "old" Europe is the way to go.

Go with the RVGs, the Cedar noise reduction system was zealously used for the box set and that has dulled the sound. In the UK, the RVGs are frequently available at reduced prices.

This should be brought to everyone's attention, you should be able to hear it on the web for a week after the broadcast on Fiday. The playlist is already online, but nothing not on CD is included.

Rooster Ties, the albums on Prestige/New Jazz by Walt Dickerson, Jaki Byard and Booker Ervin would be right up your street.

The Fanasy site has a useful explanation of its history and the absorbed labels here .
