TPs should be for BNs, Pacific and associated jazz labels, which focus on instrumental music. In my view Sinatra doesn’t fit the bill. UMG could start a separate branch for Sinatra and other popular singers of the day.

Congratulations Georghe. I hope this year is better for you and I’m looking forward to listening to it.

There seems to be a lot of other junk in that group.

This was recently reissued as a OJC. Wonder if they got the rights from Craft.

My feeling is the TPs should stick to instrumental jazz.

Sinatra is getting a second Tone Poet treatment. https://store.bluenote.com/products/frank-sinatra-songs-for-swingin-lovers-lp-tone-poet-vinyl-series?utm_campaign=887562_2.20.26_Blue Note Records_February 2026 Newsletter_Full List_231870_US&utm_medium=email&utm_source=dotmailer&dm_i=4YWU,J0UI,A7JYU5,38VL5,1,0,0,0

I caught his program about Bird’s appearance at Cafe Society in June July 1950. Typically strong analysis. Came across this article. https://www.college.columbia.edu/cct/issue/fall-2020/article/radio-days

A German series about the fall of East Germany and the divisions within one German family. Aired through the PBS Walter Presents. Pretty good.

Playbills for Cafe Society.

Thanks for posting.

I’m definitely up for that.

That documentary was fantastic. Highly recommended. Was listening to Pinnacle on the radio today.

I haven’t been able to locate Norman Granz’s The Jazz Scene for awhile now. Although I’ve sold off some CDs, I know this is one that is just lost somewhere.

I know this is a real minor point but I like that this cd and the Blue Train masters were issued in a jewel case rather than a digipak as the latter always seems to get damaged.

Interesting that the UK list is different than the US one. Perhaps it’s always been that way but I never noticed it.

Sad news indeed. RIP.

About the Spanish Civil War but a bit of a mess.

Here in NW New Jersey near Morristown, about two or three inches so far I’d say.
