"I'll make a few calls."

Already have it! The CD version regularly shows up in Dusty's "CD Deals" department.

Brahms' Violin Concerto performed by Arthur Grumiaux, Sir Colin Davis, and the New Philharmonia Orchestra -- as heard in this set:

Tony Coe's Axel "What Say We Play Today?" Recorded live in '77 at the Camden Jazz Festival in London. Four gloriously long tracks that are a great listen. https://jazzinbritain1.bandcamp.com/album/what-say-we-play-today

Disc 2, Carla Bley: Roller Coaster

So this is a studio session for Atlantic, not a live record? Could it have been lost in the Atlantic Fire?

I love that picture, the guy who did it is a very soulful gentleman. I love to chat with him at the bar after a gig, in the small hours...... That´s on the picture of course is me, together with the great singer from Serbia Lili Maljic, my favourite, and my favourite trumpet player Johannes Probst. This was a gig at famous Viennese Jazz Club "Zwe" where the music happens, where you here some of the hottest stuff. It was just 2 days before I took exactly them to the record studio, the album will be out next month ! You can look forward hearing some fine music !

You'll also want 'Choma (Burn)' as a companion piece.

Interesting, must be a gas....crazy I saw Joe Farrell in 1983 and was disappointed because he was billed together with Chet and Chet could not be found....lost somewhere....so it was "only" Joe with a rhythm section with Joanne Brackeen, I regret that I was disapointed then because Chet was missing. I heard Joe Farrell died quite early ? Pres in Europe was when ? I read somewhere, that Pres did Europe in his very last year on earth..... I think I even have a studio record, I think it has some US-Expatriates on it, could be Klook and others.... Anyway, I love Lester Young, but I often have regrets in context with the drummers they gave him, I think there is just one record with an interesting drummer and this of course is Roy Haynes, but it´s a live broadcast or a bootleg, I don´t remember.... was on one of those many cheap European bootleg labels back in the 70´s ..... Great, fantastic ! I didn´t know that record. But I heard Woody in the late 70´s and even once again in 1985, but then he had an all star combo. I remember, the BigBand I heard 1979 was outa sight, they was one of the highlites of that festival, Sonny Rollins, Elvin Jones I think, and I think the last act on the last of the 3 nights was Woody.....really great I loved it !

Disc 5 (again)

I very much like his record with strings.
