  1. It could also affect Discogs where many of he discs come from out of the country.
  2. But even if you find a shipper, isn't there still a tariff? And how do you pay it? When the package is delivered? Will you have to go to a customs house to get it and pay the tariff?
  3. Thanks. Those are the 2 discographies I was working with. I'm pretty sure Feather wasn't present and I suspect that the cuts broadcast are from 2 or three different dates.
  4. I posted this to a jazz research list serve and got no response. Maybe someone here knows. On a Jazz Club USA broadcast from (I believe) 1952 devoted to Arnett Cobb and Lester Young, Leonard Feather announces that Prez was recorded at Birdland and that his band consists of Jesse Drake, Earl Knight, Lee Abrams and Gene Ramey. However though all these players were in the band around the same period , neither of the 2 Prez discographies I own show them all in the band at the same time. The numbers played on the broadcast are standard for Prez at that time: "Neenah", "Ghost of a Chance", "Lester Leaps in" and "Destination Moon". Does anyone know when this performance took place and who the players were? (It is possible that the Jazz Club USA broadcast used numbers from more than one night, with different members of the band on separate nights.)

    Steve Lacy

    Lewis Porter has posted some unreleased Steve Lacy on his substack.
  6. I saw her perform when she was in her 80s and to me she sounded just like she did on her records from the '60s. I loved it. (Of course now that I'm in my '80s I'm not as impressed with her age-- just her singing and personality. )
  7. "Three Shades of Blue". I'd promised myself that I wasn't going to buy any more books about Miles Davis (or Bob Dylan) but a friend was reading this and wanted to talk about it. It's pretty good. He seems to have read everything ever published about Miles, Trane and Bill Evans and done some important new interviews. (He does point out how all the sources contradict each other.) However, at one point he writes of the AABA song form: "two choruses followed by a bridge (aka channel, release, or middle eight) followed by an out-chorus." I've never heard of the A eight bars being called a "chorus" nor of the final 8 being called the "out-chorus". I always thought a chorus was all 32 bars. Is his terminology at all common?
  8. IIRC (and I often don't) California has a similar a"visual artists' rights" law.
  9. Yes but Ted was with her. It was a tank from her side too.
  10. I first heard of her when I bought biographical novel called "Waiting For Robert Capa". I'd bought it because I liked he title and the cover photo. It's pretty good. (I've also read a pretty bad "Young Adult" book called "One Last Shot" which is sort of a poem. ) Gerda died in the arms of Ted Allen a man I've met but before I'd ever heard of Gerda so I never asked him about her. A friend of mine who'd made a film about Ted told me she was the love of his life.
  11. I tried it and got this: This content isn't available right now When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
  12. Yes, I didn't buy these because I seem to have most of them on either cd or downloads.
  13. Does everyone know about this: https://www.otrcat.com/p/duke-ellington? As well as Ellington theres a lot of Basie, Goodman, Eddie Condon etc. You can buy cds, mp3 cds or mp3 downloads (which are incredibly cheap -$5 for 25 or so 30 minute programs). I just purchased 50 1/2 hour Eddie Condon Town Hall shows for $5. (Mainly for Pee Wee Russell). Of course you can also get a lot of old detective shows too.
  14. And the Angels Sing, 12th St. Rag, Miss Thing, Lonesome Miss Pretty, Bolero at the Savoy, Pound Cake, The Apple Jump.......
  15. Gotta admit I first heard him on a Lamberts, Hendricks and Ross Lp. Then noticed him on earlier Basie records. Saw him in a club when I moved to LA in '80. A pick up group with Bob Cooper tenor. Good stuff!
  16. Wasn't thinking fast enough.
  17. I saw a a few weeks ago at a Charles LLoyd concert. Even talked to him: asked him if they'd recorded the concert. His answer was that they record all of Charles's concerts.
  18. Yes, I always thought it was ironic he outlived his brothers.

  20. Thanks. I was just going to ask you if that was Bill Smith. And I didn't recognize John Norris until you pointed him out.
  21. I was barely aware of the Beach Boys in their first incarnation. My friend Zal Yanofsky got fired from his job as a rock station DJ for playing the Beach Boys and Buck Owens. By the time I saw them live at Massey Hall there were about 20 Beach Boys but Brian wasn't one of them. (The Captain was, as was Blondie Chapman.) But I did get to see Brian when he toured with his own group and then when he was promoting Smile. My wife got to spend a day with him and his family while doing an interview for a magazine about "lake life". Also saw the regrouped Beach Boys before Mike Love ended that. IIRC every time was an exciting experience.
