It is a visual feast! I'll shoot a quick video of me leafing through it to show you what's inside the covers.

That's great to know. Is this something in literature? I just started reading Havers's Blue Note book.

…which makes me wonder how much Lion (and Wolff?) received for their boutique label…

Who died in Poway? Alvin and the chipmunks were in Liberty also, I read. People love that goofy stuff, must’ve made them millions, especially during Christmas time.

A train wreck.

I could see it if he was emitting the train, but the train is running into his horn.

The title is"Miles farted". This is really bad.

...As the perpetrator was stepping over the prostrate lawmaker, he shouted, "Be flat!".

May I ask which jazz icon is it?

I want to see those five people who bought this.

Lion worked for Liberty for 2 years after the sale, finally leaving in 1967. Liberty Records was bought by Transamerica in 1968 for $24,000,000. I am wondering how much of that sale was BN's share of the Liberty portfolio? Liberty had previously had a small, but healthy number of Billboard Top 100 hits. Did Lion clear even a million when he sold to Liberty in 1965? I hope so...but I doubt it.

I'll start with this question: How much did Liberty Records pay Lion and Wolf for the label?

The only t-shirt I have that I haven't worn is one I bought ca.1997 at the original Iridium, where Les Paul had his weekly gig in the last years of his life. He signed the t-shirt for me in black marker. It says: HOWDY DMITRY! LES PAUL.

There are lots and lots of jazz-related t-shirts on eBay, mostly the icons. I don't have the desire to buy a Bill Evans shirt to make everyone around me know that I'm a fan. I see t-shirts sold at gigs sometimes, but it's usually not something I'd wear, although I did buy the Mingus Big Band shirt last year(or was it the year prior) at the centennial. Many, if not most jazz clubs and record stores sell t-shirts with their imagery. I have several. I give my old, worn and holed music-related t-shirts to my daughter. She has no interest in the musicians and bands pictured on the shirts (like Floyd, Stones, some alternative stuff from way back), but likes to wear vintage clothing, and regularly shops at Savers, along with her girlfriends. Sometimes she brings home cool things from a long time ago, when I was young.

I gave it a quick read and proudly state that I understood almost nothing, aside from the fact that someone tried to sell something to someone, and now the seller is suing the buyer for 25 million.

Go back to the first page of this thread and read what a 18-year younger you had written. Sometimes I read myself and laugh...sometimes I cry.

Brad, and others, if you are going, can you take photos? When I went there almost 20 years ago, the event was very well attended. And yes, the Mosaic folks were there, selling partial sets and other things. Would really like to go there next year!

Sounds like a good bit of jazz nerd fun. Are there recorded prior shows available for listening to?

Whitney Chadwick - Women, Art, and Society

Interesting, correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I was able to glean, it's a discography accompanied by thumbnail-style b/w photos of record covers?

Look for the documentary film on the Other Music store. It's an OK little film, traces them from beginning to their end. It was an interesting store, the labor of love kind. I'm sure they made almost no money on their best days. I'm sure you know what you want to do in the city, but here's the jazz calendar for this month. http://www.nycjazzrecord.com/issues/tnycjr202306.pdf

Surely. Surprised he didn't sell it.
