Hi Jim, again a "labour of love" is all I can say. Very detailed.

You did mention Jack Millman (have the LP + Jazz Studio 4  & a  CD California Jazz) but have bought recently another big band recording. Its noot listed in Lord's and I would like to get some Information of the band. Can you help?

Thanks Willie

I extend my thanks to all who have followed this odyssey of the club that launched the careers of many jazz artists. The address deserves a plaque to commemorate its place in Los Angeles jazz history.

Had a nice conversation with Ken Poston at Jazz Congress about your work.  Much appreciation.

Thank you for all of this.  Sorry for disappearing.

I would be interested in the Tiffany ad.   I don't have all the Saxophongraph LPs because I got many of the recordings on CDs from Jay; I'll check out more of the liners.

Jack Millman - my mom and aunt were friends with him (and maybe his brother?).  I have an LP autographed from him to my mom.  I think they went to high school together.  I'll try to post, and get more clarification from my aunt.  1950s Los Angeles jazz scene.  My mom's first husband was a jazz musician Chuck Geisel, but he was too much of a druggie, I believe, and she left him.
