From a discussion of drumming in the 1920s to a tom-tom "workout," Dodds' album is as entertaining as it is educational. https://folkways.si.edu/baby-dodds/footnotes-to-jazz-vol-1-talking-and-drum-solos/ragtime-oral-history-biography/album/smithsonian?mc_cid=8916691311&mc_eid=2c917bba9f

The deal includes 90 percent of Davis’s music publishing rights... https://variety.com/2025/music/news/miles-davis-catalog-acquired-reservoir-media-1236512587/
