  1. Not sure but I will make a few inquiries.
  2. Clifford Jordan Terry Pollard Wes Montgomery Art Farmer Addison Farmer All compiled using Steve Albin's BRIAN software. Feedback (corrections, additions, general comments) appreciated.
  3. Liner notes of Dodo say produced by Robert E. and David A. Sunenblick. Uptown website is gone but company still exists. This double CD has previously unissued Lucky Thompson. Lucky Thompson and Don Byas can be heard together on Storyville (Dan.) CD 1018439 — Timme's Treasures (2015) and on some bootlegs recorded in the home of Timme Rosenkrantz in 1944. See part 1 of my Lucky Thompson discography: https://attictoys.com/lucky-thompson-discography-1943-1950/ Byas is not listed on the Storyville CD.
  4. We are now posting when updates to the Art Farmer Discography are made. These, along with other topics of interest, can be found under NEWS at www.artfarmer.org.
  5. Some of you (Soulpope, Stereojack, Gheorghe) are offering recollections that would be great to include in the "memories" section of the new website. You can do this by going to the following link: http://artfarmer.org/contact/
  6. Super Bad, Would you like to contribute your memories of the interaction to the website?
  7. A new website dedicated to trumpeter, flugelhornist, flumpeter Art Farmer has just been launched: http://artfarmer.org. It contains biographical information, a complete discography covering a 50-year recording career, album covers, photos, memorabilia, memories of musician colleagues and others and an extensive bibliography. Please check it out. 2018 will bring the 90th anniversary of Farmer's birth.
  8. The second edition of "Rat Race Blues: The Musical Life of Gigi Gryce" is now available as a paperback: http://www.amazon.com/Rat-Race-Blues-Musical-Gryce/dp/0990668606/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1413642180&sr=1-1&keywords=rat+race+blues We may publish it as an ebook, but not in the near future. The second edition does contain new and updated information relative to the 2002 edition. There is also a new website dedicated to Gryce: http://gigigrycebook.com/
  9. Master of the Groove - feel free to contact me privately via my website: attictoys.com. Have we met? I wrote an article about Teddy Charles for Coda magazine in 2000. it's actually on my website. I did two lengthy interviews with him back then but we never talked about a book. These projects require huge amounts of time (and money) and with relatively obscure or forgotten artists like Gigi and Teddy, sales of anything are going to be minimal. Teddy was another "dropout" having left music in the 1960s and only reappearing 20 years later. It's tough to establish a lasting legacy when you do that because jazz is very much out of sight, out of mind. And it's very hard to write books now about artists from the 50s because few of them and their colleagues are around anymore. If we started to write a book about Gigi now, it would be very difficult if not impossible because most of the people we interviewed the first time around are now deceased. So the book would have far fewer direct quotes and would rely more heavily on other written sources (of which there aren't many).
  10. I am co-author of the Gryce book and thank everyone for their comments. FWIW, the book got excellent reviews and even won an award. It's interesting that this thread started up now because Mike Fitzgerald and I are well along in the preparation of the 2nd edition which we hope to have out this year. It will have new and updated information not available when we were researching the first edition. It will also be available as both a paperback and ebook and as opposed to the first edition, it (hopefully) will not go out of print just a few years after its publication.
  11. Romualdo - My website has corrections and updates to the Gryce book including the discography: http://www.attictoys.com/jazz/GG.html
  12. And thanks to both of you for the support.
  13. Parts 1 (sessions as leader) and 2 (sessions as sideman up to 1961) of my Herb Geller discography are now available. Additions and corrections welcome. http://www.attictoys.com/jazz/HG_intro.html
