He was 88.

The last viewing date from Eddie’s Facebook page was Wednesday. I watched it that day.

I just watched this documentary on PBS in the US. Eddie is truly a genius. Did anyone else watch this? It may still be on PBS.

This new Mosaic coming out looks interesting. Classic V-Disc Small Group Jazz Sessions Limited Edition Box Set (#279 – 11 CDs) Preorder Sale Price – $159 Regular Price $179. Reserve Your Limited Edition Set Today! Release Date: October 15 This set collects some of the finest small-group jazz of the artistically turbulent Forties in collaborations that would not have happened otherwise. The V-Disc program did not record every important jazz artist active in those years, but they captured a great deal. These sessions are a fascinating cross-section of small-group jazz, with stars and some musicians never found in jazz history books. By focusing on small groups and great solos, Mosaic has put together a collection that is more focused and pure than some varied and almost-random V-Disc sets that have appeared over the years, as well as more expansive than the one-or-two CD collections that concentrated on a more narrow set of artists. These are the artists who would have been appearing on 52nd Street or clubs in LA, as well as superstars who would have beamed into soldiers’ living room radios if they had been home. There couldn’t be a more comprehensive collection of music from these years, much of which would have been lost without these musical documents.

Yes.

Simply amazing. I wish I get a chance to hear this. https://news.artnet.com/art-world/unheard-mozart-composition-manuscript-found-leipzig-2540432?amp=1

I’ve seen both live. They are two gifted musicians.

RIP James. A great actor. A great life.

RIP Dan.

Long live Sonny!!! Happy birthday.

R.I.P. Sergio. Thanks for the samba.

Are there any musicians still alive that played with Charlie Parker? Roy Haynes is the only one that I can come up with.

yes. You have to spend a minimum of 30 USD.

WKCR is doing a Russell Malone memorial broadcast.

Shit. This makes me very upset.

The set was only 50 minutes.

This club is very expensive. A Cheeseburger is $32, but it doesn’t come with fries, that’s extra. If you want to order fries it’s an additional $12. The person at the table next to ordered fries with meal. If there’s 12 to 15 fires that’s a lot.

You are correct. A truck jumped the curb and took it down.
