By coincidence I listened to him yesterday on the J.J. Johnson Mosaic. RIP.

Beautiful music. Thanks for doing it. I’m sure you saw that Acoustic Sounds is reissuing several Pablo records (at $40 per) and this is the first one.

FB. He’s pretty active there.

From Nessa Records.

The question I have is how the translator got access to the bank account(s).

This probably counts as prying and my apologies in advance but are you and your wife still together.

Finishing this up, With this next,

I am very, very sorry to hear this and quite sad. He will be missed. I’m glad David posted a photo. A sad day for me. RIP Bill.

As mjzee mentioned you should have two emails. With many sites, your alternative one acts as your recovery email.

Garbage.

Ted Gioia has a small excerpt in his Substack page. He calls the book “the most readable narrative account to date of a milestone moment in American music.” Three Shades of Blue

He’s a conspiracy theorist and he’s not a credible source. Nothing more need be said.

My son started collecting graded Pokémon cards during the pandemic but lost interest and now he’s selling them, mostly at a loss.

Is this your first time reading this? Catcher in the Rye, even today, is a book people like to ban. According to one site I saw, “The American Library Association states that The Catcher in the Rye has been banned by schools and public libraries for having ‘excess vulgar language, sexual scenes, things concerning moral issues, excessive violence and anything dealing with the occult’ and ‘communism,’ among other things.” Yeah, that’s the whole point of reading it! I still have my original copy that I read back in 9th or 10th grade in 1965 or 1966.

For those who are interested there’s at least one FB discussion about this. https://www.facebook.com/groups/JazzVinylLovers/permalink/24996359180009874/

RIP. I remember them fondly from the 60s.

Thanks. Just thinking of the day when I might have to sell my collection.

I’m curious, if you don’t mind me asking. If you were living in Santa Fe then did they pick it up or did you ship it to them?

The RSD site says the vinyl is limited to 4,000 and the CD to 2,000. The recording is coming from the Iconic Artists Group which may own the musics assets of the Cole Estate and whose mission seems to be to promote their artists. Some of these smaller companies that make titles for RSD, based on past practice, don’t seem as interested in wider exploitation as say a Resonance.

I assume this counts as madness but since I’m not one to go after original pressings this may or may not be crazy but an original pressing of Blue Train sold yesterday for $12,600. https://www.ebay.com/itm/296243318459?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=SR8ECHeEQn2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=8Clsqs3wSRS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

The RSD site says that the CDs (as well as the vinyl) are RSD exclusive. That may mean that you can only get them at the participating stores. One thing I’ve found is that you can usually find RSD titles at close to retail price online (Discogs and eBay) after the RSD date.
