The Zimmerman set arrived one year before Dick Hyman's complete keyboard works box. In 1976 Deutsche Grammophon issued the first(?) complete recording of Treemonisha. The mid-'70s were good for Scott Joplin.

Hello djazz, thanks. And yes, james, that photo has a lot to unwrap.

Hello, fred and hello Dean. Bethena is complex and the more I listened the more I admired it.
  3:23pm

Joshua Rifkin recorded it in 1972, too. Engineered by the marvelous Joanna Nickrenz and Marc Aubort.

It's interesting how Kris Davis embraces kind of a support role, but brilliantly.

I saw Taborn a few times (with Tim Berne and Tom Rainey each time, and one or two others)

That photo was taken in 1955, but there is footage of Ellington playing baseball around 1941: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/rare-footage-duke-ellington-highlights-when-jazz-baseball-were-perfect-harmony-180950303/

So unbelievable and in 1955.

I've always had mixed feelings about this Duke photo because it captures him in such an inelegant position. His batting stance/swing is just miserable!
  4:01pm

A story in the Baltimore Afro-American, April 16, 1955, reports that some of the Milwaukee Braves were staying at the motel at the same time as Ellington's band. Among the players, Hank Aaron.

The same BA-A story--a column titled "Theatrical Whirl"--also reports that Lois Towles had embarked on a 45-day tour. I'd never heard of her. She was an African American classical pianist and teacher who studied with Arthur Rubinstein and Nadia Boulanger.

The big Drummer story for today:

Kenzo’s Last Ever Radio Extravaganza 5-7pm: Farewell, Wednesdays! Nothing? Something? Everything at once? What happens when it's really the last one? Let's find out together during the last-ever Wednesday sound-collage escape, before the project moves to Mondays 3-5pm ET, eternally.

(And Ridgewood Radio moves into Kenzo’s old slot at 5pm EDT starting next week July 15.)

Gary Sullivan’s Bodega Pop Live 7-10pm: Happy Together: Punk and avant-pop from Yugoslavia's twilight years. A soured East-West German collaboration. The iconic diva and the composer she spent half a century avoiding. Dispersed Assyrians. Deconstructed Fleetwood Mac.
