Yes, I saw Allen went crazy on it.

Smoke Jazz just released a Hank Jones record, Steve Davis Meets Hank Jones. It’s a little pricey at $30 for six cuts but you can buy a digital version from Bandcamp that’s a lot cheaper.

This week’s real estate section of the NYT has an article about Dizzy’s life In Queens, one of the five boroughs of NY. For Dizzy Gillespie, Queens Was the Place to Be and to Bop

Discounting the ones in 2024.

There are no new posts after December 27.

I can’t recall her ever making a bad movie.

So sorry to hear that.

I found this brief article by Carol Chamberland about Bop City, Jimbo’s Bop City: Historical Essay Unfortunately, I’m not able to access the original article in California State History, from which this was excerpted.

👍

I just watched it and thought it was great. A real shame it’s not widely available.

Yesterday, Marc Myers in JazzWax posted an interview he did with director Carol Chamberland who made a film or a video about the legendary Bop City in San Francisco. The film has been seldom seen but JazzWax provided a link to see it. https://www.jazzwax.com/2023/12/int...s&utm_content=Interview:+Carol+P.+Chamberland Today he provided the link and how to see it. The film is only available to watch until Sunday. https://www.jazzwax.com/2023/12/carol-p-chamberlands-the-legend-of-bop-city.html

Purdy simply had a terrible day. He was probably due. However, the 49ers record against the AFC North isn’t pretty, 1-3, although they should have won the Browns game.

It was the Fraud Bowl. Neither, but particularly the Cowboys, are good enough to get to the Super Bowl.

Merry Christmas to all and hope it’s a wonderful day for all.

I ordered from them years ago right before they launched the Classics line and shipping was quick. However, based on what I’ve heard I haven’t done it since and it seems Amazon is just as inexpensive anyway, and definitely quicker. There’s no excuse for not shipping product out quickly.

Storyville also issued it. Recently, it’s been re-issued by Bird’s Nest which I think is a PD label.

Mark Styker mentioned this last week or the week before in one of his Twitter posts so I picked up a copy.

I’m guessing that the owners never thought a player would defer a significant portion of the contract the way Ohtani did. I’m sure that this will come up for discussion in the next labor negotiations.

In my earlier years I had bought a few things from these labels but I’ve gone out of the way to rid my collection of them. On the copyright question I believe 70 years is now the EU standard.

It’s one of those reissue companies based in Andorra (I believe), which makes it immediately suspect for me.

Solar Records release is $30 (not a huge fan of these kinds of releases). RSD is $22. Remastered by Bernie Grundman. Solar, just copied from original record.

Nope.

So that’s what bothers you? Seems like an odd thing to get bothered about. I’ve never been a fan of the cover but bother me? No.

Finished the Moonstone and am now onto this.
