  4. East Wind Reissue

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    I have a list from CDJapan that says that on February the fourth will East Wind reissue in DSD Remastering more or less their whole catalog, many good ones in there, especially for me quite a few with Hank Jones (The Great Jazz Trio), they

    are pretty cheap 1000 Yen a piece.

  6. I need some good Dexter Gordon Recommendations

    in Recommendations

    Posted

    Like JimR says get them all, I have 90 of his CD's (not complete), many of the Steeplechase were broadcasts (there were a weekly one hour broadcast from Jazzhus Montmartre (in Copenhagen, Denmark) where Dex sometimes in the summer months had three month gigs.

    I would recommend you to try to find his tenorbattle (titled "The Chase") with Wardell Gray, the long version, almost 12 minutes, I think you can search under Wardell Gray, who was Dex's great friend and also a great tenorplayer to collect..

    Nothing Dex have recorded compares to have heard him live during the sixties, he was something else.

    Sad News

    RIP Dick

    I have pleasent memories about him. I spend a lot of time with him and Herb Buschler when they were here in Copenhagen in the sixties, as part of Bill Barron's Quartet with Ted Curson, when they played in Jazzhus Montmartre. Dick was a very nice person (but a lousy poolplayer) and we had so much fun together.

  11. LF Gil Cuppini "What's New, Vol. 2"

    in Offering and Looking For...

    Posted

    I have been searching all over the net for this one, it's very, very rare, but only found a few copies that are so expensive, that I can't afford it. I have a cd-r of it, but can't play it anymore, it have become damaged, and it is one of my absolute favorites and on my desert island list. Hope someone on the board can help me in some way, selling (at a reasonable price) or swapping or whatever. Vic

    Hi Daniel

    From what I read above about a two week engament at Gyllene Cirklen in February 1964, and that some of the tunes were issued on Anagram,

    I get the feeling that it must be "Nigerian Walk", "Sweet And Lovely" and "My Old Flame", all three are the same persons:and live recordings.

    Billberg, Gullin, Gunnar Svensson, Sture Nordin, Jan Carlsson.

  19. My pants are falling down

    in Miscellaneous - Non-Political

    Posted

    Larry I know what you mean, but that is life, my ass is not anymore the shape it had before, like my wife told me "one of the reasons I fell for you, was that you had such a cute ass", she don't say that anymore. The only way to get around it is to have personally measured pants made, they cost a bundle, so live it it man.

  22. Quincy Jones Live Recordings February-July 1960

    in Discography

    Posted

    I am searching for the exact dates and locations of the live recordings Quincy Jones Big Band made during their European Tour in 1960 from February to end of June, the only one I have found out so far is the one in Gothenburg, Sweden on February 16th 1960, but there is also 4 or 5 more from France, Belgium and Switzerland. Any help will be appreciated.
