Oh, thanks, but I can do that myself! Just was hoping someone might have the info handy.

Would anyone happen to have saved the discography from Mosaic's website while it was still there?

Glad to hear from brownie here! Hope all your family and friends are okay! Got to news on the way home from a concert and it was doubly disturbing - but no matter what, this kind of crime can never be completely be prevented (unless maybe in a police state). It's an easy thing to say I know, but to stop going out and live our lives would be exactly what they want us to do. I'm afraid the political turn to the right though that has already taken over some parts of Europe will get another boost by this - which is wrong, in my book, because no matter what great safety rhetoric those parties push forward, there will never be any guarantee as long as our political system grants liberty to its subjects. And I really hope that won't change more to the worse than it already has, what with constant surveillance and all that. And yeah, I share that "it's not war" point of view as well. Hoping very much that this will not be the start of something like the invasion of Iraq, which really laid the ground for IS to get started, after all (maybe the yanks could at least get all their arms back from the IS please ... next time better destroy 'em rather than have the Iraqi have 'em ... and Turkey and others stop and buy their smuggled oil, thank you!).

love that story, must have missed it when first posted

the 1947 concerts right now ... seems to be music to fit the horrible times

btw, sorry l p for repeating what you'd already posted, hadn't noticed ... that was, to me, the first session that came to mind, but I guess it's not the one fasstrack is looking for?

Between February 27 and March 17, 1941 (February 15, 1941?) Lester Young & his Band Manhattan Center, New York City Shad Collins t; Lester Young ts; John Collins g; Nick Fenton b; Doc West d 2. Tickle Toe (Young) 5:25 3. Taxi War Dance (Basie-Young) 5:19 That's one amazing session ... sorta pre-cool (Pres was the true king of cool anyways) what without piano and all that ...

The discussion is from reviews in magazines (stating that some "minor" tracks were left off) ... if I remember correctly, Frémeaux communicated from the beginning that, different from the Django series, this wouldn't be complete to the last bit, but rather contain all the important sessions (no idea about their exact wording) - isn't there any info on this in the booklet of Vol. 1?

Very sad news!

Thanks!

Thanks Larry! Himmelstein rings a bell though I don't know why/wherefrom/-to, as I don't know those Ervin/Gordon notes - somehow never got around to buying the single disc release and then the bix Prestige box of Dexter's came out. If they're online anywhere, I'd be glad for a hint!

So Jet had a writer going by that name? There seems to be a Raven Screen Corporation, too, manufacturer of movie screens founded in 1921 by one Albert L. Raven (who died at 75 in 1951 as Billboard reports here).

I might be slow getting it ... but can anybody tell me who "Raven Screen" is, the author of the liner notes to Sonny Criss' Prestige album "Up, Up and Away"?

Yeah, I've followed it and with some interest, too. Just thought I'd ask if by "Ibragon" you all meant Irabagon

You guys are talking of Jon Irabagon, yes?

but you're aware it already happened with the last upgrade, right? I think it was discussed back then, and several people have other display names since then .... (no idea why login name and display name would ever have been separate things ... but I guess someone with administrator rights could log-in to the "back end" of the forum - where you manage/ban users etc. - and just change the names again?)

Thanks, will have to consider as it does interesting!

Thanks for sharing your impressions - is it a proper (pressed as opposed to burned) DVD? Anyway, sounds more like something I'd enjoy catching on telly rather than buying ... but I'd be interested to see it - if it ever runs on the beeb, let us know please!

Okay, now that you say it I finally do get that way to read your sentence

Had the same, a few months ago - got the Armstrong, wanted the Condon/Freeman - they made up and as it was trans-Atlantic, I didn't have to return the Armstrong, which was mighty generous of them ... I donated it to the Swiss Jazz Museum as I already have my copy of it and would have felt like a cheap whore had I sold it on

yup. also I'm not quite sure how she be his daughter AND his widow ...

Had missed this before - sad news indeed.

Interesting point, Allen. This kind of soloing really builds nothing all too often and is totally devoid of real emotion. Don't feel this with, say, Illinois Jacquet or Thomas Chapin, but there are lesser musicians ... sticking to the old ones, Flip Phillips would be one (though he made some good records, too).

... the "Teo" from Carnegie Hall is one great romp! And Mobley has some fine spots on "Someday" - the fact that it fell between the (sorta) complete boxes is quite sad indeed.
