I'm apparently haunting Jim today because it seem slike every time he posts on a new thread I turn up. He's just such an in-ter-est-ing person I'm curious about the threads he's raising from the depths of the archive.
And speaking of archives, wanted to let people know that Arkivmusic, long a Classical CD purveyor, has just launched a new Jazz site:
I don't mind. In fact, I abhor the idea that "old" topics must be discarded like some ill-advised Star Wars prequel film. I prefer long-running threads with a few dedicated regular contributors.
Here's another fin ancient jazz website you mouldy figs might like:
Have any jazz aficionados joined this board since the last post in this thread? I doubt it.
It's old-fashioned. That's the reason why none of the Silver Age soundtracks sell anymore. Even Varèse Sarabande used to assert it. Do you copy, over?
Hey, maaaaaan....I'm accustomed to being "out of step/out of touch/existing in a vacuum/living in a bubble", but I will always have the hope that the young 'uns will grow weary of the pablum they are spoonfed, and stumble upon things they love on their own.
Barney Collier undercover, Out, but never, ever over.

Picture a world in which people still massively enjoy jazz. Well, in that world, you would have the majority of Silver Age film/television scores by:
Jerry Fielding Dave Grusin Quincy Jones Gil Mellé Oliver Nelson Lalo Schifrin
With jazz and film scores being my favorites, I've managed to like two forms of music that less than 1% of the population cares about! Three, if one counts classical music...
Of interest to perhaps one or two other people here at FSM, an episode (in better quality than the previous 'Tube upload) of the 1958 NBC TV series, The Subject is Jazz, hosted by the cooler-than-any-film-composer, Gilbert Seldes. This episode, "The Future of Jazz", features Billy Taylor, Bill Evans, and George Russell...among others.

Thanks! I don't think I know this show. Is it on DVD or Blu-ray?
