The Fontana/Debut labels kind of confuse like the Freedom/Polydor labels later. Happy to find this copy in Chicago too. Believe this is the right sleeve: But reisued by Freedom

This bit of AI is pretty freaky to me. https://www.threads.com/@samuelaranda63/post/DS6ZdCbkYho/

Tickle Toe

On the 100th anniversary of John Coltrane's creation, "Creation" should be available beyond boots and legs.

Spun this one for New Year's. The writing for strings is worthy of multiple listens. Sounds quasi-atonal in places. Guaraldi, meanwhile, is in the pocket.

Well yeah, it seems I am very much associated with night life 🤣 About stopping habits.....I don´t drink alcool for example and am vegan, well I smoke one cigarette after having a meal, but don´t think that those 3 cigarettes would not make me a poor man. For example, the New Year´s Eve, we attended a club with some great party music and stayed until 4 in the morning and then one of the guys from the musician community suggested we continue the party at his place and I came home at 8 in the morning. But I don´t drink any alcool, not even the usual glass of champagne midnight, and had three big glasses of water with lemon juice and 2 espresso, so that is not much money. On the other hand, there was a lotta good music, they spinned all those old Coltrane Albums, I think one with "Russion Lullaby" that´s really strong.

I believe so

Original Mono LP

of Touching? Identical, but with a Debut logo instead of Fontana. Both Touching and Nefertiti (Cecil) came out in Denmark first and were released on Debut.

Thank you Pim! For me, more green vegetables and more walking.

Note: After the Second World War, state-of-the-art studios were set up in a former aerodynamics test hall at the Göttingen military airfield. Around 100 films were shot there between 1949 and 1961. This also offered Göttingen musicians like Gunter a good opportunity to be hired as extras.

👍- on my shelf!

Something similar is in the book Time Will Tell: Conversations with Paul Bley, by Norman Meehan, Berkeley Hills Books, 2003 https://jazztimes.com/archives/conversations-with-paul-bley/

Big Thief: Double Infinity

👍

Happy new year! 1 - Old school style on the tenor sax. Great tone and playing. Is it the Stitt/Gonsalves duo on Impulse? Was thinking someone like Hank Jones on keys so this kind of makes sense but it's a wild guess. 2 - Average White Band? It's not Pick Up the Pieces but damn, sounds a whole lot like it. If it's not them, then I'm guessing Eddie Harris. 3 - Jam session? The sax honks in the intro are entertaining. Off time and totally random sounding, like someone's fucking around and having fun. Bluesy as hell. Is Earl Bostic involved? 4 - No idea. The recording has the rhythm section a bit buried - there's drums back there somewhere but I can barely make them out. 5 - Coming up with no ideas here. The sax has some Webster-ish style, but I think this was recorded way later than Ben's day. tough one for me. 6 - Dipping way into the blues well again, and I'm loving the slow tempo. Roland Hanna? No idea on sax or elsewhere. At this point I'm realizing that whatever the obvious song is I'm going to miss the hell out of it. 7 - Oh, this must be it. Of course I can't name it but it's really familiar. At the risk of embarrassment, is it Johnny Griffin and Jaws? Whoever it is, it's my favorite track so far of this BFT. 8 - Here we go with some B3. Nice. Love the guitar as well. Well done by whoever's playing. Reverb is present. I can't tell who this is. Wild Bill on organ? 9 - All right, some clarinet. Art Pepper? Having a hard time making a judgement of when this was recorded. 10 - Going out with a bang here. Ronnie Laws maybe? Thanks for putting this together. Enjoyable listen.

Quick search, what does the Debut cover lool like?

The book is a very engaging and quick read. I haven't leafed through it in some time, but still have it on the shelf. a classic! Have the LP in the racks (mine's a Dutch Fontana, as pictured, though I probably couldn't turn down the Danish Debut if I ran into it).
