I was at that concert; I had no idea it was issued. That was a fun show.

Sorry I couldn't make tonight, but it's looking good for tomorrow in Chinatown...

I'm just sad about this. I'll miss him. And what everyone else has already said.

Totally going to try to make one of the LA shows, although it looks like I'm moving this month as well, so all my time may be in packing.

AAJ / Marc Corroto This is an excellent album, certainly for anyone who enjoys the music of either Brotz or McPhee. It is rooted in the blues, in ballads expressing a deep mournfulness, but it is by no means traditional sounding. It does lean more toward American free jazz than most European free improvisation. It is more melodic and conventionally structured than many Brotzmann recordings, based on themes rather than being totally free. ***** – Autonomeus on September 23, 2014 Herbert Distel : Travelogue hatOLOGY 734 (new release) 752156073420 Die Reise (Yourney/Trip) and La Stazione (Rail Station) are available as Rail Notes on hatOLOGY 2-594.

emusic.com has a bunch of these. I've downloaded two and enjoyed them. Same notes as above, pretty much.

That's from Feb 2006, according to the web page.

BBC America is running The Next Generation. A few days ago I watched a few early episodes from Season1, and I thought they are pretty bad, although mostly watchable. I concur that they show improved after the first season, although I remember being really happy to watch them when they were originally on. Too much of young Wesley saving the day though. The 4th or 5th episode is truly dreadful and racist to boot, with a colony of all dark-skinned people, and two women fighting over a man, etc.

Entertainer

What's the version of this to locate?

More information obtained from an expert: "Yes this sequence, slightly distorted (parts are slowed down and repeated), has been culled from Jonas' film "Happy Birthday to John." It was shot June 12, 1971 at Allen Klein's party for John and Yoko. Shot on Jonas' 16mm Bolex. Some of the footage also appears in his "Scenes from the Life of Andy Warhol: Friendships and Intersections" though not specifically these scenes where Warhol does not appear. ...This was posted without Jonas' permission, so it may disappear soon!"

I've seen footage from a party at the home of Lennon's lawyer (drawing a blank). A lot of folks were there, including Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol. Jonas Mekas, and Shirley Clarke. Clarke was filming with an early Sony b&w video portapak; Jonas was filming with super8mm I think, maybe 16mm. I don't know if this film is from that, though. The editing makes it look like it could be Jonas's film, but I don't see any of the other trappings of that party that I remember. The YouTube link does say "Recorded from a John Lennon's party where Miles was a guest."

Me too. R.I.P.

I was there as well. Lovely evening. I most preferred the first and last songs. Your pictures are better than mine. For those unclear, this was a show by Randy Weston and Billy Harper in Los Angeles last Friday November 22, at the Jazz Bakery "Travelling Feast" series at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center. Randy Weston is the most fit 87 year old I believe I have ever seen.

Really sad. I saw him a couple of times with Euphoria at the Jazz Bakery, probably 10 years ago now, and those were great shows, with him fully on.

For those of you in Southern California, tomorrow April 27 in Pasadena: SPEAKING OF: BOBBY BRADFORD Date & Time: Saturday, April 27, 2013, 2:00 p.m. Location: Allendale Branch Library Address: 1130 S. Marengo Ave., Pasadena, CA 91106 Information: (626) 744-7260 or visit pasadenapubliclibrary.net “Those of us who have been blessed to know Bobby Bradford for a number of years can attest to a probing, powerful intellect that assimilates the history of jazz in a highly unique manner, drawing conclusions that are as innovative and provocative as one of his solos. His understanding of the history, coupled with his embracing of jazz’s mandate for innovation, reveals itself in his teaching, playing and composing. I have profoundly admired his brilliant mind, up-tempo wit and his usual location of being two or three steps ahead of everyone else.” – James Newton In celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month, the Allendale Branch Library’s popular “Speaking Of” series features a discussion with one of our area’s great musical treasures: legendary jazz trumpeter, cornetist, bandleader, composer, and educator Bobby Bradford. An Altadena resident since the 1970s, Bradford grew up in the heart of the Mississippi Delta in the 1930s, settling in Los Angeles in 1964 after finishing college studies in Texas. Assimilating the musical language of such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong, Fats Navarro, and Charlie Parker, Bradford emerged as one of the most important jazz trumpeters in the 1960s and ‘70s, articulating a modern post-bebop, avant-garde sound while performing with Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy, and John Carter, and, in recent years, heading his own ensemble known as The Mo’tet. For over thirty years, Bradford taught jazz history and improvisation at Pasadena City College, and since 1974 he has been a lecturer and adjunct professor of music at Pomona College in Claremont. Both at PCC and Pomona College, he has inspired and mentored a generation of outstanding jazz musicians, including David Murray, James Newton, and Mark Dresser. Bradford, whose daughter Carmen is an accomplished jazz singer, received the Festival of New Trumpet Music’s Award of Recognition in 2009. “Speaking Of: Bobby Bradford” will feature a discussion with Bradford about his extraordinary career as a musician and educator, including audience Q&A. The program will also feature an excerpt from Peter Bull’s 1980 documentary, The New Music: Bobby Bradford and John Carter. Light refreshments will be served. For further information on this free program, contact the Allendale Branch Library at (626) 744-7260 or visit pasadenapubliclibrary.net. More: Friends: Please find attached details for a very special "Speaking Of" program at the Allendale Branch Library in Pasadena. "Speaking Of: Bobby Bradford," a discussion with the legendary jazz trumpeter, cornetist, bandleader, composer, and educator, will be presented on Saturday, April 27, at 2:00 p.m. Bradford has been an Altadena resident since the 1970s, and has taught jazz history and improvisation for over thirty years at Pasadena City College and Pomona College. We are also attaching, for media use, three photos of Bobby Bradford. The first two, by Michael Hoefner, date from 2008. The third is an archival photo of Bradford from 1976, taken by Mark Weber, which shows him in performance at The Little Big Horn, a jazz workshop space that Bradford ran from 1976-1978 in Pasadena. The venue was at 34 N. Mentor Avenue, very close to The Ice House comedy club. It was open to the public for Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon performances and showcased many established and up-and-coming jazz musicians. For further information on "Speaking Of: Bobby Bradford," including links to other materials on his distinguished career as a musician and educator, visit the Allendale Branch Library Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/allendalebranch?fref=ts Sincerely, Terry Cannon Staff Assistant III Coordinator, "Speaking Of" series Allendale Branch Pasadena Public Library e-mail: tcannon@cityofpasadena.net Terry has been posting other good stuff on that Facebook page. I need to figure out how to get the pictures to you. Here's the photo by Mark Weber referred to above.

Although I don't have any, I suspect that one place to check is the defunct Los Angeles Free Press. I'm not even sure if an index exists. But I was talking with Gene Youngblood about it recently (He used to write for it), and maybe he knows.

How can you tell from a photo if she is a virgin?
