The whole Koechlin series on that label is fabulous! This afternoon: Absoloutely wonderful recording.

This weekend's evening bottle: CHÂTEAU LAVILLE BERTROU 2018 Minervois-La-Livinière Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée

Probably a misattribution. The article that was to be published in 2005 still is pending, as is the sheet music. Experts say the style is from a later period than when Louis Marchand lived. The compser named is one "Monsieur de Charman(t)" ...... nothing is known of him. Still, good music, and excellently played.

Yesterday:

I saw that group, with Lucky Thompson's son on guitar added, in Frankfurt's Jazzkeller. In an interview conducted in Germany around that time he said he preferred playing these smaller gigs as he reached more people, even if they paid much less than festivals.

That is a great album. I would also recommend one on ENJA, There Was A Time.

Today: A band from Berlin. Saw them perform here in town a millenium ago, a gig organized by the local jazz initiative. Groovy band.

Today:

Just found and ordered a copy of the complete concert when this album was recorded:

Absolutely fantastic new recording!

Send the info to Michael Fitzgerald and he will add it to the discography. Thee Charles Mingus Debut box set is missing, too.

I remember one tour was cancelled due to protests against his Scientology association.

The bassist of that trio, Kai Eckhardt-Karpeh de Camargo, was a local guy from where I live. Never met him, but we all were proud that someone from our area made it big.

Biographies, autobiographies, documentaries, whatever .... I took Pony Poindexter's memoirs out once again, and I am astounded/delighted what a difference thirty years of listening and reading make!

Human beings fall for all kinds of things. Musicians are human beings, so .....

Did we have that one?

Next, this one, but self-produced by Carla and issued by DIW:

R.I.P. Just read about him in Max Salazar's book on the Mambo Kings. He sure was one of them.
