Lovely cats who do lovely things.
Chinfolds turned them down for the Ivy-Sty blog you know... Along with top level access to the Blue Note photographic archive.
Let's just call that a rookie mistake on his behalf.
'Very funny' was Dean Rudland's verdict. Others laughed even more.

Re: Jazz Video Cafe
I didn't know that, what a hoho. Mosaic is very important in getting a lot of jazz from the Twenties and Thirties, out to a wider audience than collectors of old 78rpms. The remastering they do is superb and dedication to the research is stoic, if not verging on the vocational.
The box sets are worth every penny - I've several.
All I can say, is turning them down is a sign he is less a rookie, more of a Bengal Lancer. Jazz, he doesn't even now how to spell it.

Re: Jazz Video Cafe
It was a funny old episode, I had to ring up Chens in L.A. at great personal expense to try to get him to understand who and what Michael Cuscuna is, but he wasn't having any of it. Chinny knew best.
... Mr. Cuscuna took it all very well though & Richmond Hill mopped up my tears.
The story is now one of the funniest from BTS, giving rise to many parodies...

... Chinny also looked down on Charlie Davidson calling him 'some 80 year old shopkeeper'.
His opinions always entertain, if not inform.
