Cued up for Christmas Eve eve dinner... Disc 2 of

Philology has quite a run, Paolo Piangiarelli was a dedicated fan but with a small marketing budget. He attended IAJE IN 2004 and raved about the young alto saxophonist FraHe was long frustrated with US jazz magazines not reviewing his recordings because he didn't have the funds to buy ads. Just his array of releases by Phil Woods and Lee Konitz, along with Italian jazz greats like Franco D'Andrea and Renato Sellani, to name just a few, is very impressive. I heard that he was battling depression around the time that his website went off line. He died on January 1, 2022. Philology titles regularly appear on Dusty Groove, but some are hard to find.

Yeah! Half of it is Dakar.

Thanks for posting - These are the types of cats I love to hear. I need to track it down hopefully Jim has some copies for sale.

Not exactly a common date... The OG: 16 2/3 RPM!!!! So what was Hawes doing in the East?

Searching online for a list of less well known jazz labels (for no particular reason at all, just something to browse over lunch, thought maybe I’d see a handful I’d forgotten, or never knew)… And as with most all of my jazz searches, the results led back to an Organissmo thread (this one). So bump!!

I love that album. the Song of the World is wonderful, the lyrics really fit to me since in the warm season it happens often that after working all night long I spend the early morning at some lake and take a swim and feel about what that song expresses. And the whole album is great. Some boppish stuff, some ”free”, and some with a kind of backbeat. Very very nice !

I just learned from a Jim Alfredson Facebbok post that George Howard passed away at the age of 100. Jim brought George into his home studio in 2017 to record "How It's Done", Howard's first recording - undertaken at the age of 92! It is a great CD and I'm glad Jim convinced George to do it. Lansing's City Pulse did a story on the session: https://lansingcitypulse.com/stories/oh-yeah-george,2650 Here's George's obit: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/name/george-howard-obituary?id=60161751 I'm going to give this CD a spin again. discogs link: https://www.discogs.com/release/34602784-George-Howard-How-Its-Done

Oh yes both great albums Felser with Alice, Journey is my favorite

Absolutely terrific box set. Previously unreleased music from Zardi's Hollywood Night Club in 1955 and 56. Nice companion to previously issued 6-CD box set "The Complete Crazy Sunday at the Lighthouse 1953". The Los Angeles Jazz Institute (LAJI) over the years has issued many CDs of rare West Coast Jazz music as membership gifts.

Agreed. The way they accent has some similarities. Hip. I don't own it, but that's why YouTube is my friend! 😁

That prompted me to listen again to this odd session ("CF & HH with French Horns"): more enjoyable than I remembered, although HH doesn't get a lot of space. Made me also think of Hawes' "Gold Dust Twin", Sonny Clark (a "Bone & Bari" mix for him with Fuller), with whom Hawes may share a closer connection than with Phineas Newborn.

Yeah, both that one and this one. And don't sleep on this amazing archival release from last year, with Pharoah and Archie Shepp:

Alice Coltrane's albums are the only ones on which I like Sanders' playing, I must admit.

I got the kindle edition of vol 1 of Listening to Prestige. It's interesting. Merry Christmas!

Though I do enjoy the 3 All Night Session albums, I get a slightly strange rhythm feeling to most of the tunes. So there are quite a few other Hampton Hawes albums I like better.
