• New biography looks lovingly at Louis Armstrong

  
  BlueNotes — Authority: 123
  This is a little off our usual topics, I guess, but not by much. Great blues and jazz have lived under the same roof for decades, sharing a toothbrush and an attitude about expressing human emotion with music. I was reminded of the shared history of all that music when I read a New York Times article earlier today ...

• 1959: JACK, BOBBY, GENE, KENNY

  
  Jazz Lives — Authority: 133
  I don’t quite know how “Wolfgang’s Vault” tapped into the great store of recordings made — presumably for the Voice of America — for the 1959 Newport Jazz Festival, but the second neatly-wrapped present has arrived.  What interests me are two sets: one featuring the master, Jack Teagarden, with his ...

  What I Saw Riding My Bike Around Today — Authority: 127
  I feel so, so much better today, so I was eager to get out on the bike for a play ride after cleaning the house and watching the Saints win. Again.

  Jazz Lives — Authority: 133
  Before recordings and sound film changed the world, music didn’t travel well.  Myth says that you could hear Buddy Bolden’s horn miles away, but trumpet players know that is unlikely.  You certainly couldn’t have the complete Jelly Roll Morton Library of Congress recordings on a little box in your shirt ...
