Dub Modal

Reissue of Jacquet's Victor recordings from 1947-1950 except for the live version of Flying Home (over 8 minutes!) from the Newport Jazz Festival, July 3, 1967.

Love the songs and the personnel but Fuller's horn doesn't sound good on this recording. Hard to listen all the way through unfortunately.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you get good news in terms of treatment and that it goes back to remission.

It's an xmas movie to me. Not wading into politics, geo or otherwise. If it was a marketing move, and it likely was, then it was very well done. As mentioned above from a post about 2 years ago other action movies and non-traditional holiday movies like Lethal Weapon have that xmas setting, but DH 1 & 2 weave it into the story (1 more so than 2) very well. Lethal Weapon, etc fall way short. Sometimes the marketing wizards get it right and they did with this one.

It's really good. Definitely up there for me too.

Thanks!

How does one come by the bootleg version?

Absolutely! That Duke is one that I neglected for a while since it wasn't small group or full orchestra. For some stupid reason I didn't think I'd enjoy his trio work...100% wrong. It's gorgeous.

First, Jackie McLean & the Great Jazz Trio with New Wine in Old Bottles. Then... Duke's Piano in the Foreground.

One of my favorites. RIP.

Red Holloway batting 1.000 on this page so far.

The Wiki page on Louis' religion is funny. Raised Baptist, wears the Star of David in honor of the Jewish family that raised him, baptized (when?) Roman Catholic, met 2 popes and was/was not a Freemason but a Knight of Pythias. Something tells me it was more complicated/interesting/deeper than that.

Via OJC CD. I love jazz of all decades, but for whatever reason late 50s albums seem to be hitting for me lately.

Armstrong "selling out" just seems like a controversy that doesn't exist now, or at least doesn't need to exist.

What happened to that Black & White set again? Weren't there plans for that which ended up being scrapped? I see above it was back-burnered...

It sold out from what I understand. They didn't press as many - basically a modified on-demand model - and it was popular. I'm not sure how long they were able to secure the rights to it either. I do see where it's not listed in their Out Of Print sets, but I'm wondering if that's just because they haven't updated that page on their (outdated) site.

Thanks for the detective work here. Searched around the New World website and saw nothing about it. On board when it happens.
