This is #2/50 original 1968 Pete Turner "Giraffe" large scale prints from Jan. 1968 - It was owned by Creed Taylor. It's the cover picture from the 1967 Anton Carlos Jobim album "Wave".

What's is worth? Dunno but I couldn't come up with a big enough number for the seller to sell it to me.

The Internet Archive has its detractors, they continue to work on some awesome projects. They've built Ruffle, an Adobe Flash player. That allowed me to open the now-long gone David Horrowitz website and convert some of his showreels to mp4 files from flash

Can you hear the sound on this 2006?

November 29! Happy Birthday to Billy Hart!!!
Jabali is 85 today. The new record on Smoke Sessions is out: MULTIDIRECTIONAL.
We started our three night run at Smoke last night; Billy sounds GREAT, as do Mark Turner and Ben Street.

Todays tears courtesy of Amy Winehouse. So good, such a loss. I'd never seen this video until I just went to look for a link.

Not from Creed's pantheon, although he did release a Mitchell live at the playboy club.

Here Allen Murphy's voice is just so perfect.

This is for all the people hurting, we hear you.

Nearly finished my wrap-up on Jack DeJohnette, which includes a piano gig at Lake Meadows Lounge and Restaurant through News Years eve. Champagne dinner for NYE was $11.50 per couple - at the same time, you could see John Coltrane at McKies with free chicken on Mondays

I'm bed bound after surgery wednesday, spending the time listening to almost the entire Bethlehem recordings from 1954-5. A lot of it isn't jazz, but it is simply a great time peace. Shavers playing is great, it's like any minute James Stewart will walk in.

so sad to hear of the passing of Purnell Steen, brunches with him at @dazzledenver.bsky.social were always so good. He has few recordings, was a live legend & part of the Denver 5-points jazz royalty

The @denverite has a great free to read biography. 3-people are listed on discogs, I'm one of them.
Purnell Steen, jazz legend and civil rights activist, has died at 84
Steen started playing piano at Zion Baptist Church and still performed regularly at Dazzle and other iconic Denver music venues.

I've been in for surgery so a bit distracted and busy. I've been working through some of the history of Arnold Maxin. Heard of him? Probably not.

This is a really interesting take on how the music business used to work. Now days, and to a point even then it was about money, but not just about it.

Have you been to at least one live jazz event this month?

Supporting live jazz is more important than ever. Please do your part!

For us, we saw John Scofield in #boulderco

I so wish I was in London, if you are or can be, make sure you attend at least one event

George Benson’s “Breezin’” peaks at #63 today in 1976.

“I didn’t think I should record it,” he said. But composer Bobby Womack, assisting in the studio, “came in and he went, ‘Da-da-da-da-da-da-da DUH-daaa!’ .. I went with that little change to the melody. It made all the difference in the world.”

Start looking for options for NYE this year, back on Dec. 31st, 1971 you could have gone to a dinner/dance at Shelly Manne's for $14.50 per couple

In todays money that would be nearly $110. I dare anyone to find a top-flight jazz artists just tickets NYE for that per person, much less per couple

In the music business as much and probably more than any other, it's who you know from sidemen to engineers, club owners to booking agents.

If you don't know people, this shows the importance of getting a manager who knows people. Lots of great musicians go their whole careers without a nomination.

Anyone on #Bluesky printed their own album covers, inner sleeves etc. Found a few printers that claim to do them...
I purchased a Cal Tjader "Soul Source" album last week, cover in great condition, shiny NM vinyl, great for archiving. Except it had some random 1970's inner sleeve. Jumped on ebay to look for one, $7.69 plus postage and tax for an inner sleeve...

Time to get into reproduction printing

Trump may tell Americans — even his own supporters — that they won’t pay the tariffs.

But at the same time, his own lawyers are arguing before the Supreme Court that American businesses and consumers pay the tariffs.

Listen for yourself.
