Bessie Smith, Any Woman’s Blues, 1970 on Columbia

This is was the second in a series of five 2xLP releases on Columbia in 1970-1972 that covered Smith’s recordings for the label.

These recordings were made between September 1923 and March 1930, all recorded in New York. Piano by Fletcher Henderson, Clarence Williams, Irving Johns, James Price Johnson, and Jimmy Jones. Other musicians include Don Redman (clarinet), Eddie Lang (guitar), Garvin Bushnell (alto sax, clarinet, soprano sax), Ed Allen (cornet), Arville Harris (tenor sax), Cyrus St. Clair (tuba), Charlie Green (trombone), and Louis Bacon (trumpet).

Technical restoration by Larry Hiller and liner notes by Chris Albertson (author of Bessie).

Great set of early Bessie Smith recordings in mono.

My copy, via Academy Records in NYC, is a 1970 pressing

New York state education officials rejected President Trump’s administration’s demand to do away with certain diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts, rebuking the Department of Education (DOE) amid threats of pulling funding over those efforts.

The New York State Education Department officials said Friday, “We understand that the current administration seeks to censor anything it deems ‘diversity, equity & inclusion.’

“But there are no federal or state laws prohibiting the principles of D.E.I.,” Daniel Morton-Bentley, counsel and deputy commissioner of New York’s Department of Education, said in a Friday letter to the DOE that was obtained by The Hill.

Morton-Bentley wrote in the letter that state education officials are “unaware” of any jurisdiction DEO has to ax funding with an administrative process taking place.

2/2 "To the students who remain apathetic to Columbia’s disregard for human life and its willingness to discard student safety: As pressure from the federal government intensifies, know that your neutrality on Palestine will not protect you. When the time comes for the federal government to target other causes, it will be your names that #Columbia will offer on a silver platter, it will be your pleas that fall on deaf ears, it will be your just causes that are stonewalled."

#usa #Trump told #columbia to hire officers with arrest power. The University was already planning on it.
“The new officers will not carry weapons, will wear identifying badges, and will process detained individuals at the Manhattanville campus.” https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/04/03/trump-told-columbia-to-hire-officers-with-arrest-power-the-university-was-already-planning-on-it/ glaçant

Columbia Daily SpectatorTrump told Columbia to hire officers with arrest power. The University was already planning on it.Columbia will roll out 36 unarmed “special patrol officers” with the authority to arrest individuals on University-owned property, a plan that began before President Donald Trump’s administration demanded that the University grant expanded authority to Public Safety officers.

‘Universities such as #Columbia, with its 87 Nobel laureates, are global public goods, reliant on the American ecosystem. Much of their research couldn’t be done elsewhere. Bill Clinton called the US “the indispensable nation”. For universities, it is.’
