Although there has yet to be any official confirmation , family members are saying that Freddie McCoy died at age 76 this past September in Morocco .

Characteristic Goldblatt cover , save for the misspelling of both first and last name

A few more obscure worthies... Roosevelt Wardell - The Revelation (Riverside). An unquestionably obscure figure , he'd be in his mid-seventies if still living . If Chris Albertson (who wrote this album's liner notes) has more info about him I hope he'll share it here . Chris Anderson - Inverted Image (Jazzland) . While apparently not representative of his live playing , this album is one of only a few made by the estimable pianist . Steve Kuhn - 1960 (PJL) . Previously unissued Kuhn demo (briefly available on a Japanese CD) has the pianist in a trio with Scott LaFaro and Pete LaRoca . Good sound , brief playing time . Mike Nock - Between Or Beyond (MPS) . Essentially a Fourth Way recording minus Michael White , this one certainly has a period feel (1970) with lots of processed e-piano , but some nice acoustic playing as well . Paul Knopf - The Outcat (Playback) Paul Knopf - Enigma Of A Day (Playback) . See my comments in the Paul Knopf thread .

Something like Irving Joseph's Murder Inc. fits this description , but then so would quite a lot of so-called 'crime-jazz' I think . There's a bunch of stuff on this list that you probably either already have or would like to have .

The 'Insert Media' functionality works for files hosted at Youtube , but it doesn't work for files hosted at DivShare . I've tried 'media' , 'code' and 'html' tags to no avail .

Sure . Send me a PM .

I think his MGM date , Five O'Clock Shadows has a better rhythm section , and is also more obscure . Don't know that one; who's on bass and drums? Ralph Pena and Nick Martinis . Jolly's duets with Pena on Impossible (Metrojazz) are also worth hearing . The MGM date has versions of Variations and The Red Door (under its alternate title , The Swinging Door).

I have it . It's a fine showcase for her piano stylings . I also have Dorothy Ashby's Jazzland record that features Pollard on vibes . Fantasy never got around to reissuing that one . There's a nice shot of her on its back cover :

A good idea this . With that setting this thread runs to four pages instead of ten . Edit for typo .

I wish

A return of the large-font reading option would be most welcome .

...or into someone's Mediafire account . For those who missed it the first time 'round , you can download the show here . Oh and it's............

Don't know about a Liberty-redesigned cover for The Latin Bit , but there was one for Green Street and possibly Grant's First Stand (featuring a coat rack ?) . I posted the redesigned covers for Donaldson's The Time Is Right and Bennie Green's Walkin' & Talkin' here . As for Donaldson's Sunny Side Up , the original cover is nothing special , so the Liberty cover isn't that much of a let down , obvious though it is :

Not sure , but I think it means the cat died...

.....except when the money is being spent on them as opposed to on themselves , when saving , far from being laudatory , is cause for hurt feelings ! .....are alright tonight . Wish I hadn't listened to what the man said....

That's my feeling as well . Say what you like about his tone , but his injudicious soloing during uptempo numbers kills any forward momentum and swing the moment his bow hits the strings . For this reason , I generally find arco solos much more effective at ballad tempo .
