  1. The book covers her career up to the point where she quit jazz! I do not see any reason to not believe her. So far seemingly objected to her book's contents.
  2. https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B00LV8STE4/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=9533TPHO4PI4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.IdSZ0cY66eswKEgeweMG59QGxs27OcxRz9xi08LN1oXLfgemq4iUYHIWIDHDYNMA7BOeF69Z2O8NvoKxP4iZeCw-HA_V_bHNBuZAvHxG_3Q.jeRy8ug_MaECCSsxXNtoHHPPzL7TAATgpIzxRJcss14&dib_tag=se&keywords=jane+getz&qid=1726417383&s=books&sprefix=jane+getz%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C206&sr=1-1 That's what it did with me! She writes frankly about her experiences on the scene. Lots about all the big dogs she met and played with, Herbie Mann, Stan Getz, Charles Mingus, and lots of other people she met and befriended, Henry Grimes (who was a close friend), Joe Chambers (whom she dated) etc. A view from the inside, positive and negative.
  3. So keep and care for your vinyl.
  4. I can feel with you. I am close to selling most of my Miles Davis albums as I find much of his behaviour disgusting, and can't ignore it while listening. Same witn Freddie Hubbard after reading he attempted to rape Jane Getz.
  5. The weekend bottle: "Johan de Barrou" Corbieres Reserve 2018
  6. I think you're mistaken here. The Riverside Bohemia album does not include any vocals, but the Five Spot on United Artists does, and that's Brock Peters.
  7. "The Covers of Invention" - would be a great name for a cover band!
  8. That's the advantage of a Lord Disco subscription, these tracks are easy to find there. Not on CD was a Terry Gibbs track from Vol.1, A many Albam track from Vol.2, and that Russian Jazz Quartet from Vol.3.
  9. That was added to this Milt Jackson reissue as it was from one of those sessions:
  10. One of the greatest jazz historians ever! R.I.P.
  11. Soem are really hilarious: https://jazzmf.com/jazz-musician-pseudonyms/
  12. The ones with Ruby Braff! I also like this one, in which he played a key role: Do we need a Dick Hyman thread?
