Ken Dryden

Horrible rewrite of the book, inventing characters that weren't present and David Niven's character was an American in the Alistair MacLean novel.

I am thinking about offering a broadcast every week or so to those interested . I have hundreds of Marian McPartland’s Piano Jazz shows, in addition to other NPR and APR/PRI and other broadcasts. Share your email via pm to obtain the Piano Jazz with Ed Bickert. There is a three day limit to download once you receive it. Maybe others will make similar offers, but I am not expecting anything in return.

Trimming Alan Grant's announcements is always a wise move. He got ridiculously pompous by the time he hosted Four Queens Jazz Night From Las Vegas.

LOL!

Here's hoping for as complete a box as possible. I am not excited about buying excerpts, only to have a larger set issues a year later.

I have buying from philadelphia music for several years and they tend to undergrade. They are terrific!

If anyone is interested, I have some digitized live broadcasts of Ken Peplowski that are not commercially issued: Hotel Four Queens, Las Vegas 8/2/1993 Newport Jazz Festival with Evan Christopher and Anat Cohen 8/4/2012

Ted Rosenthal announced Ken’s passing on FB. He will be missed, he had a brilliant career and he was a funny giy.

Too bad it can't be recorded...

I know that there are other jazz journalists and broadcasters here. I talked to to bassist Harvie S last week for publication in the April issue of The New York City Jazz Record. This afternoon I talked to the founder of the Turtle Island Quartet, violinist/composer David Balakrishnan. This interview will be edited for broadcast on my Timeless Jazz show, likely to air on February 15th, prior to the band's February 24th concert here. Both Zoom chats were lots of fun!

Hopefully it would be better than Crouch's typically arrogant, self-promoting liner notes.

I did and no record of it existed, though I am positive that I submitted it. Evidently an internet outage happened, as I never was charged on my credit cards (I checked them all) nor did I find a confirmation from Mosaic. Scott is taking care of me, so all is well.

Still crickets from Mosaic about my copy.

He was a masterful artist, he will be missed.

“India” has long been a favorite of mine.
