Ditto! Looking forward to see what else comes out!

My favorites include: My current go-to recording for the late piano works, Opp. 116-119. Mostly chamber works -- but the solo piano works are sublime. This is the only complete set that I own. An excellent traversal. I've never heard a better interpretation of the Balladen, Op. 10.

Thanks. I may wait a bit on that one. Back to the basics with this one:

I just returned from travelling last night, but saw the sad news about Paul before I left. He was a great human, a knowledgeable (and fun!) board member, and I feel lucky to have met him in person in Colorado two years ago. His spirit in person was the same as it was here on the board and on Facebook over the years. Doing this one last time - gonna miss you my frienD! your spIrit, Calm strength and Knowledge will stay in my tHoughts and mEmories Always anD forever. Rest in Peace, Paul.

Any particular favorite recording/pianist? I'm presently looking at the 6-cd set with Julius Katchen on London.

Howard Wales And Jerry Garcia Live: Side Trips Volume One" Grateful Dead cd Recorded live at Matrix Club, Fillmore Street, San Francisco 1970

Thanks. I listened to 6 again. I think it could be Steve Wilson on alto. But maybe the pianist is the leader, since they solo first and have some freedom on the head. How about Bruce Barth? I think he likes these kinds of arrangements. Maybe I'll take another listen to 16 but I don't have any of Billy Pierce's music.

Happy Birthday! He was in fine form with his big band at Birdland recently.

I meant to type Dorham, Burrell is on this as well. I hadn't had coffee yet.

Okay, thanks; I had not seen anyone complaining about that sound, I use discogs but don't read reviews/comments/forum.

It is a great recording, particularly when Dizzy Gillespie and Max Roach go at it together. Historic!

Just searched - you are right! It's on "Dizzy Gillespie Vol. 4 - 1943-44" (Masters of Jazz MJCD 86) - by sheer coincidence and chance one of the very few Masters of Jazzes I own. A live recording from the Onyx Club. Fidelity is ultra-ultra low (audibly an exceedingly worn acetate) but it IS interesting. Pity the beginning is missing. Now if the Gillespie combo already had this tune in their live set lists in Jan. 1944 it is all the more probable that the spring, 1944, dates of the Boyd Raeburn live recordings on the IAJRC and Circle LPs are correct.

There is a small group live recording by Dizzy Gillespie of Night in Tunisia supposedly from January 1944, with Budd Johnson, George Wallington, Oscar Pettiford, and Max Roach.
