I've got a couple and they are VERY good. "Two's Company" with NHOP (Steeplechase) and "Portrait of An Artist" (Elektra)

The movie should be rather disturbing if this is any indication:

Came across this today when I was reading some news about upcoming movies. Interesting.

The book is very good, but I fear that the movie may be 90% of the tawdry parts of Albany's life and 10% of the loving relationship he had with his daughter.

actually, Joe would probably have liked that - he had that kind of sense of humor.

_{you know, I do hope they get it right, historically speaking, I have a theory that I'm the only one who knows why he and Bird never worked together after the Finale gig.}

No, I haven't any records with him as leader - have him on some Lester Young sides - but I did see him play solo piano in a Manchester pub on a tour arranged in the 70s by British record producer Tony Williams.

Didn't Spotlite put out an Albany LP at the time? In fact, I think I've got it buried away in one of the racks..

Spotlite released two Joe Albany LPs - Joe Albany at Home (Spotlite JA1) and Proto-Bopper (Spotlite JA3).

I've been recently contacted by the production company. It's in the pipeline and close to filming.
