  1. https://www.discogs.com/release/11021135-Giuseppe-Torelli-Charivari-Agréable-Kah-Ming-Ng-The-Original-Brandenburg-Concertos
  2. The Cal Tjader disco is now updated to include the Penthouse recordings.
  3. amazon.com is where I found the covers I linked in the Vanguard discography thread. Never trust any online source without a second independent one.
  4. This could be helpful: https://www.bsnpubs.com/new/vanguard.pdf
  5. The two Brother John Sellers albums had catalogue numbers 7022 and 8005. The first was folk blues, the second a mix of blues, folk and gospel tunes with a jazz backing, thus placed in the 8000 Jazz Showcase series. Do not ask me why Bobby Henderson's second solo piano album was issued in the 9000 series, I have not heard it, and it cannot be found on discogs: Call House Blues : Bobby Henderson (p) solos New York, 1957 Diga diga doo Vanguard VRS9017 Some of these days - St. Louis blues - A good man is hard to find - Alexander's ragtime band - There'll be some changes made - Three o'clock in the morning - Take me out to the ball game - Baby, won't you please come home ? - Call house blues - Take me to the land of jazz - Missouri waltz - After you've gone - Put on your old grey bonnet - Ballin' the Jack - That red sock is a nice detail. Maybe not "jazz" enough? Just found this, maybe it's helpful: https://www.bsnpubs.com/new/vanguard.pdf
  6. Seems like it isn't listed on discogs: Call House Blues : Bobby Henderson (p) solos New York, 1957 Diga diga doo Vanguard VRS9017 Some of these days - St. Louis blues - A good man is hard to find - Alexander's ragtime band - There'll be some changes made - Three o'clock in the morning - Take me out to the ball game - Baby, won't you please come home ? - Call house blues - Take me to the land of jazz - Missouri waltz - After you've gone - Put on your old grey bonnet - Ballin' the Jack -
  7. It does not surprise me. Back in the day I heard Get Together on the radio and liked it, but never saw one of their records in the shops here.
  8. It has! I think that is rather unusual. I never saw anybody drink Vecchia Romagna on the rocks.
  9. Dissolve them in acid before adding to the soup, or grind them thoroughly.
  10. Just had this: ... which made me look for more, and I found this:
  11. Haha .... Italian brandy is warmed a bit rather than cooled.
  12. This is nice, but in the long run I prefer music made on "real" instruments. I am not up to date on the latest developments in the genre as I lost interest during its disco beat phase.
  13. Complete survival kit for Blue-note-aholics. Who buys these things?
  14. Will check this out, although I'm kind of bored by most remixes, due to the dominant heavy disco beat most of the feature, at least on the two concord picante discs I just revisited:
  15. Thanks! Listening to samples/tracks lon the web does not really convince me. The sound of the MAW mixes is so much better.
  16. ... Followed by these two immediately afterwards:
  17. Brother John Sellers was a blues, folk. and gospel singer - he had no problems crossing over between these genres. John Hammond recorded two 10" LPs with him in 1954, one used Sir Charles Thompson, Freddie Green, Walter Page, and Jo Jones as the rhythm section, with Ruby Braff playing an occasional trumpet obligato. Sellers is a good singer with a broad expressional palette finding an individual approach for each song, the excellent backing seems to inspire him, and it is nice to see Jo Jones hitting the right groove without using the common R&B cliches. Thompson gets all the solo space, hearing Braff playing bluesy phrases with his gorgeous tone is a treat. You even get Freddie Green's rare take on folk/blues finger picking in one song. It's a very nice listen, as the Rushing albums, and its 20 minutes could have been squeezed into the box alongside these. The CD depicted below is a 2006 reissue on the British ACE label, adding the 27 minutes of Sellers' other Vanguard album (with Sonny Terry and guitar player Johnny Jones) in strict folk blues style. It is still available and worth a puchase for any lover of this type of music. There is an elaborate biographical essay on Sellers' career by Chris Smith.
