I've had this one sitting on my shelf longer than I've had shelves, and I know I've read "in" it, maybe through it, though if so, longer ago than I can remember, so I've decided to read it through...again?! I find myself wishing I had the original 1955 edition with the discography that they decided to omit from the later editions. It would presumably have been mostly 78s.

Who are the soloists on that one? Would have been cool to hear her do one chorus of "Groovin' High"!

I like the live Tokyo date from Mainstream. Picked that one up in a Jazz Heritage edition. For some weird reason, Jazz Heritage reissued a bunch of Maintream jazz things from that period. I also prefer later Sarah, especially the Ellington song books on Pablo.

Very cool. Love me some Tubby Hayes!

That was a *great* band!

They continued to be friends. Laine appeared on Nat's short-lived TV show to support him. Thanks to TTK for the explanation on that label. I had no idea!

Nice record, but what's the story with the super old-style Columbia label on that 78?!

Lu Watters and Turk Murphy were fairly serious white players in the revival--so serious the music can sometimes sound like it was collected for a museum--but Good Time Jazz preserved most of their work, and Watters even got a fairly nice box.

Went to see "One Life" with Anthony Hopkins. It's a weeper, but well made, I thought.

In Phil Schaap's supplemental notes to the cd release, Mulligan said he liked this one the best of his "meets" albums for Granz. They do appear to be enjoying the date.

That's about the right age. I have to feel like I'm 3 or 6 to like them......which I do on rare occasions!!

I have to be in the (very!) right mood, but I've been known occasionally to listen to the FF+2! I recently got this one, mostly for Rosolino, but I like Bob Burgess's trombone on it too. And the sound is good.

Now listed as running low/last chance.

I note this one is now rated running low/last chance.

Happy birthday, Mr. Shatner! While I am a hopelessly committed Trekker, I still think his best work was with James Spader on "Boston Legal"!

In the event, he proved sadly prophetic, dying at 33. What a great bassist he was!

I think we may have discussed that possibility before, maybe in the first go-round of this topic. If memory serves, it would be a pretty big set, though I'd certainly be up for it.

From the Complete Riverside box.

Yes, I loved that one, especially the ending. I thought all the best pic noms were good this year...well, all I've seen. Haven't seen "Anatomy of a Fall" yet.

Listening to Disc "C." Sound was good on these radio transcriptions.
