  1. There is a killer arrangement by Bob Florence, that can be heard on the album "Treasure Chest"; it is conceived not as a tender ballad, but as a hard swinging medium tempo big band chart.
  2. Thank you for the nice wishes (especially sinci it is that "magical" 50th birthday)!
  3. Jimmy & Doug Raney Bill & John Allred Bebo & Chucho Valdes Terry & Gerry Gibbs Urbie & Jesse Green
  4. There is also this one: Ben Webster And Associates (Verve) featuring Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and Budd Johnson
  5. 1. Squatty Roo 2. Tribute to Louis Armstrong: When It's Sleepy Time Down South/Confe ... 3. Them There Eyes 4. It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) That is the one I recommended.
  6. The complete(?) JPJ Quartet recordings (studio and live) have been (re)issued on Storyville.
  7. I see two albums with that title and different tracklists - can someone explain ... What are the (different) tracklists on these albums? As far as I see these are just two different editions of the same album.
  8. Budd Johnson can be heard to good advantage on Benny Carter's "Live And Well In Japan", a Pablo album of a 1977 live concert featuring (besides Carter and Johnson) Joe Newman, Cat Anderson, Britt Woodman, Cecil Payne, Nat Pierce, Mundell Lowe, George Duvivier and Harold Jones. Another fine album is "Blues A La Mode" on Felsted, that can be obtained as part of the Complete Felsted box sets by Solar or Fresh Sound respectively (the session is also on a Lonehill reissue called "The Stanley Dance Sessions").
  9. Yes. It is a live recording of the Quintet with Jimmy Deuchar, Terry Shannon, Freddy Logan and Allan Ganley. Sound quality is very good and the music is great!
  10. I am very happy to have found a copy of the 8 cd Mosaic box set "Classic Columbia Condon Mob Sessions", everything (box, booklet, discs) in excellent condition, for $172 (shipping incl.) through an amazon dealer (the current exchange rate of $1 = 0,8 Swiss Francs making this a good deal).
  11. I am approving this statement without reservation. Nash is one of the hardest swinging drummers extant. For me, if Lewis Nash is the drummer, be it a big band, a combo or a piano trio, it is a guarantee of a tight, swingin' rhythm section. Here are some albums I have with Nash on drums (all of them are highly enjoyable recordings): Brian Lynch: Back Room Blues Benny Green: In This Direction Steve Kuhn: Looking Back Tommy Flanagan: Beyond The Bluebird Lew Tabackin: I'll Be Seeing You Jimmy Heath: Little Man, Big Band Mike LeDonne: Soulmates Clark Terry: What A Wonderful World Tommy Flanagan: Let's Tommy Flanagan: Lady Be Good... For Ella Lew Tabackin: What A Little Moonlight Can Do Clark Terry: Portraits Rob Schneiderman: Dark Blue Bill Mays: Ellington Affair Larry Willis: How Do You Keep The Music Playing? Oscar Peterson: Meets Roy Hargrove And Ralph Moore Scott Hamilton: After Hours Tommy Flanagan: Sea Changes Kenny Drew: Falling Leaves John Lewis: Evolution II Classical Jazz Quartet: Plays Bach Ray Brown: Walk On Don Friedman: Waltz For Debby Gerald Wilson: New York Sound Don Friedman: My Favorite Things Roland Hanna: Milano, Paris, New York: Finding John Lewis Gerald Wilson: In My Time Helen Sung: Helenistique Classical Jazz Quartet: Plays Tchaikovsky Ted Rosenthal: The King And I Gerald Wilson: Monterey Moods Helen Sung: (Re)Conception
  12. This one is highly recommended too: "The Last Time I Saw Paris" on the Venus label with George Mraz and Leroy Williams
  13. I am currently listening to "Get Happy" on the Concord label. Sandke performs tunes by Monk, Mingus, Miles Davis, Ellington as well as standards by Arlen, Berlin, Donaldson with a great line-up of Ken Peplowsky (ts, cl) Robert Trowers (tb) Kenny Barron (p) John Goldsby (b) and Terry Clarke (dms). Recommended!

  15. There are several amazon marketplace sellers offering this 100 cd box set "Big Bands" for €39 or less: http://www.amazon.de/100-Box-Set-Big-Band/dp/B001G8P3JS/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1302183124&sr=1-1 The set covers a great amount of recordings by the major swing big bands. The cd's come in cardboard sleeves and with a 200 pages booklet containing detailed discographical information. The sound quality is at least decent, in many cases very good.

  16. I am just listening to a very satisfying album by Jimmy Maxwell on the Progressive label by the title of "Let's fall in love". This is top notch mainstream jazz, nicely arranged by David Berger. Budd Johnson has some great spots on tenor sax and - in one case - on clarinet. The rest of the personnel apart from Maxwell on trumpet and Johnson are: Dave Berger (tp, arr) Art Baron (tb) Kenny Berger (bars) John Bunch (p) George Duvivier (b) Ronnie Bedford (dms)
  17. Thank you all!! Sorry for the late reply but I have been skiing with my family.
  18. You are expressing just what I was thinking! Ordering discs is exceptionally complicated, so that it keeps me off buying items from this website.
  19. A few days ago I purchased a recently released cd by Johnny Dankworth and his Orchestra titled "Too Cool For The Blues" on the British label "Rex". The liner notes contain no discographical information, only stating that the recordings "date from the late fifties". The track list is as follows: Disc: 1 1. Too Cool For The Blues 2. Sentimental Instrumental 3. Three Little Words 4. Old Blues 5. There Will Never Be Another You 6. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes 7. Runnin Wild 8. I May Be Wrong (But I Think You re Wonderful) 9. They All Laughed 10. The Song Is You 11. Tracey s Trip 12. Caravan 13. They Can t Take That Away From Me 14. Riverside Stomp 15. Squareface 16. The Gypsy In My Soul 17. Two s Company 18. Love For Sale 19. We Are The Lambeth Boys 20. Willow Weep For Me Disc: 2 1. My Buddy 2. Singin The Blues 3. Don t Be That Way 4. The Carioca 5. New Forest 6. Threesome 7. Duet For Sixteens 8. Ill Wind 9. Doggin Around 10. When You re Smiling 11. Groovin For Nat 12. Seven Leagues Beauty 13. Chelsea Bridge 14. Skeleton In The Bathroom 15. A Foggy Day 16. Love Me Or Leave Me 17. The Wizard 18. Embraceable You 19. Flying Home 20. Wild Ascot Two reviewers on amazon.co.uk presume these to be BBC radio transcriptions from 1959 by the same big band that performed at the 1959 Newport Jazz Festival (featuring among others Dickie Hawdon on trumpet / bass trumpet, Laurie Monk on trombone, Danny Moss on tenor sax, Dave Lee on piano and Kenny Clare on drums. Can anyone here provide accurate discographical information on these recordings? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
