I was lucky. Spent three evenings at the Club Saint-Germain when they appeared thère in December 1957. The Lee Morgan, Benny Golson, Bobby Timmons JM For ever grateful to Marcel Romano for letting me enter the club for free. Saw the Messengers with Wayne Shorter and Walter Davis à couple of years later at the Olympia. But missed the Hubbard, Fuller, Shorter unit....

Don't have that Frog volume 2 but I do have (and can recommend) volume 1. That one plus the two releases from the Chronological series (Too bad that label is gone by now).

That's a great record. Had it before I sold my vinyls. It's one of those albums I wish I still had. Still waiting for a CD appearance. And I am waiting for that Ross Russell LA session release!

A true gentleman who contributed a lot to jazz history.

A Very Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday 2017

A major loss!

Many thanks for all the good wishes. Another fine day to start another Year. ..

A Very Happy Birthday, Daniel

This is Christmas in October ☺

Gave up searching for the vinyl box several years ago and settled for the Fresh Sounds box when it came out in 2013. Excellent purchase worthy of a Mosaic job. With all the takes on 11 CDs and notes by Jordi Pujol. Received it quickly and well worth the €70 it cost. Have lived with this ever since...

I have the DaCapo reissue (1980??) of the original edition (same size) also the '70s' édition. Both books are gathering dust along with a number of other books. Have not had much use for them since the advent of the internet....

Re-reading this thread I find one album was missing from my list, so adding to it: Cecil Taylor 'Algonquin (Bridge)

Ran Blake 'Vilnius Noir' (NoBusiness) Bill Carrothers 'Ghost Ships' (Sketch) Steve Kuhn 'Live at Birdland' (BN) Martial Solal 'Live at VV' (BN) Stefano Oliva (Sans Bruit) René Urtreger '75' (Carlyne Randy Weston 'The Roots of the Blues' (Universal)

A very Happy Birthday to you!

Latest releases from the séries is the Duke Ellington Oct-Nov 1958 double CD with the Alhambra October 29 and Salle Pleyel November 20 concerts (my first ducal live concert) out this month from Europe no. 1 and ORTF archives.

No time to wait on photo event like that one. The photographer is allowed inside the White House room a couple of minutes as part of a sélecteurs pool. He has to make quick decisions like where to position himself if he is allowéd to move inside the room and make sure he includes everybody of importance in his images. Brain and luck also help.

Big western films fan here. My favorite director remains John Ford. Even the horses acted well in his films.

Have a great Birthday and enjoy the listening!

British journalist and pianist Mike Hennessey died last week in Durchhausen, Germany, it was annonced today. He was 89. He had retired in Durchhausen in1989.

News of his death was one of the very râpé times Jerry Lewis made me sad!

Very interesting and quite sad that article about thé late Jutta Hipp.

Damn! Hope she is in good hands...Hope to see her post here again soon!

This looks like new material. On the LA Jazz Institute CDS 6 and 7, only one track 'Didi' is listed as coming from the Sept. 28 date. Ken Poston who wrote the liner notes for both CDs may know better. He posts here.

Herbie Nichols Miles Plugged Nickel Bill Evans Final Village Vanguard vinyl sets still have my preference!
