"Drum is a Woman"?

#6. Identified? Certainly sounds like Zoot on soprano to me (+ Bucky, as the man said - I guess) #7. Reminded me (in feeling) of things Gigi Gryce did in Paris ...

#9. Ernie Henry with Wynton Kelly - beautiful. Very close to Bird in feeling - first hearing I thought it was Bird, but that didn't make sense - second hearing said Ernie, and the piano supported that.

It would appear many of these periodicals simply fade away. I did a quick library search, and the British Public Library appears to have a full set, which is something. Still, a little too far for me ...

The recent topic here “DownBeat on archive.org” prompted me to think about the archives of the British publication “Jazz Monthly” (50s-70s), that included such contributors as Max Harrison, Michael James, Alun Morgan, Mark Gardener etc. Would anyone know the fate of these?

Thanks for that! Just experimenting, I hit April 1955 - fascinating. It's fairly easy to use after a few tries ... great resource.

Fine player - always interesting - kind of "off kilter". His 'Tadd Walk' solo with Fats in '47 is a classic to these ears. There's quite a bit of him with various Diz big bands - also 2 tracks live with Monk quartet in Philly 1956 ...

Nice video - he digs in hard, swings hard - if I was in NY I'd be there!

Any news on future of the great Wave catalogue?

No doubt you got a fitting reply ...

Thanks for this - next time I'm in NY!

Some great writing and playing
