I write advance obits for The New York Times. Most are done long before the person dies—some updating done as needed—so the fact an author of one may die first is not unusual.

If anyone is interested, I did a piece last year in the Finnish WeJazz Magazine about 12 obscure jazz Christmas albums. Pgs. 68-71 at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bXBfRnph7l8qIVEX27df_mOT9wQE5q1e/view

With the recent inclusion of "Alexander The Great" in Iron Maiden's setlists, which represented a 37-year gap between its studio release and first live performance, I was thinking about other such feats. I was at the show when the Grateful Dead" busted out "Unbroken Chain", but that is paltry in comparison at only 21 years. I have compiled a list, generated from longest touring bands. One caveat is that the tune has to be a band original, not a cover. Another is that the band at the relevant point had to be made up substantially of original members. Am I missing any? Not sure this would work in jazz contexts (unless Pat Martino played tunes from Baiyina in the new millennium?) GAP BAND-SONG STUDIO RECORDING-LIVE DEBUT 56 Rolling Stones - “Out of Time” (1966 - 2022) 41 Def Leppard - “Comin' Under Fire” (1983 - 2024) 37 Iron Maiden - “Alexander The Great” (1986 - 2023) 37 Judas Priest - “Take These Chains” (1982 - 2019) 36 Phish - “And So To Bed” (1985 - 2021) 34 Aerosmith - “You See Me Crying” (1975 - 2009) 33 Rush - “Losing It” (1982 - 2015) 30 U2 - “Red Hill Mining Town” (1987 - 2017) 28 Bob Dylan - “Oxford Town” (1962 - 1990) 28 Metallica - “Escape” (1984 - 2012) 27 Red Hot Chili Peppers - “Sikamikanico” (1992 - 2019) 21 Grateful Dead - “Unbroken Chain” (1974 - 1995) 19 The Cure - “Burn” (1994 - 2013)

She is also on the cover of two Lou Donaldson Blue Note albums: Mr. Shing-A-Ling and Alligator Bogaloo.

Wow. He was so amazing. One of my favorite musical memories was sitting outside of his dressing room for his 70th birthday concert in Frankfurt listening to him warm up for an hour.

I was witness to a bit of an awkward moment with the LMO in Oslo. Haden dedicated to his encore to the "beautiful whales, who need to be protected" (paraphrasing), to which he received tepid applause as probably half the audience had whale for dinner before the show.

@optatio@JSngry@clifford_thornton What is not indicated in the article was that I interviewed Mr. Jackson while he was in hospice care and that he nearly died during the interview (and did a couple of days later).

Ah. Thank you for the illumination.

I am confused. So you are saying that the album was recorded by Werner Berndsen of the Würzburg Music School but actually took place at the Torturmtheater?

John Pisano's death reminded me of a question I have had for a long time. Why is the Fred Katz/Hal Gaylor/Johnny Pisano Decca album 4-5-6 Trio named that way? Obviously cello = 4 and guitar = 6 but did Gaylor play a 5-string bass?

Does anyone have this 7" 45 RPM Single? And, if so, does anyone have the radio promo version? I am curious if both are bleeped? I know the latter is supposed to be.

Just found another one that I had forgotten: Herbie Mann (Herbert Jay Solomon)

Yes, that is a good point. I certainly don't want to be insensitive but I needed a catchy topic header.

Hi. I am trying to compile a list of jazz musicians who used stage names in their careers for a research project but also for anyone else who may need something comprehensive down the line for their own work. This includes all the singers and those whose name change was due to conversion to Islam and used on recording (drawn from Michael Fitzerald's work here: https://jazzmf.com/muslim-names-in-jazz/) but DOES NOT include nicknames or pseudonyms used for recording on other labels (already done here: https://jazzmf.com/jazz-musician-pseudonyms/) Here is what I have so far.
