  1. I think Ricky's jocular persona hides a serious scholar. (I say that as a former academic.) This is a work of scholarship and a great read. Agreed.
  2. Ordered the cd and have dowloaded it. Physical cd hasn't arrived yet but I think most of the info in the booklet can be found on the Bandcamp site even if you haven't purchased it.
  3. His daughter is a dj on KCRW in LA. One day I heard her say it was her father's birthday and she played some Sly. I thought I had misheard her but then she talked a little more about him. She sometimes has her grandfather (mother's side) on the show but so far I've never heard her discuss her mother. At least the tv movie showed her mother but didn't explain much about her.
  4. That's an insanely low price for an important box set.
  5. Soundtrack to a Coup D'etat. An eye-opening film with some terrific clips from Trane, Dolphy, Mingus, Max Roach, Nina Simone, etc.
  6. Sorry, what does this mean?
  7. IIRC (and I often don't) the titles of All Blues and Flamenco Sketches were mis identified on the first pressings.
  8. https://substack.com/home/post/p-155613026?source=queue&autoPlay=false
  9. Didn't Ivory Joe Hunter make a record with members of the Ellington band? And did James Brown do something similar or am I hallucinating that?
  10. The latest Mosaic Gazette has a great audio interview with Barney Kessel talking about Charlie Christian.

    John Clayton

    Jeff Hamilton started the gofundme for Clayton so I presume that he's ok.
  12. Loren Schoenberg posted something referring to Larry Schoenberg as his uncle. Does that make Arnold his grandfather?

    John Clayton

    Amongst the things he lost were Ray Brown's bass and Milt Hinton's bow.
  14. I'd add Taj Mahal and Tab Benoit to the list of Blues artists. And there's a lot of local Nola musicians some of whom play every year.
