Prompted by the thread on this album: Prime Hampton Hawes. I was hipped to this by @soulpope, who -- sadly -- no longer visits the forum. This album is one of his favorites.

Score! I also managed to get a copy through the Forced Exposure restock. Can't wait to dig into this!

yeah, Bob Bruno of Noah Howard fame as well. Met him once, seems like a sweet guy.

Yep! Totally agree.

Rich Perry - East of the Sun and West of 2nd Avenue (Steeplechase)

That’s my favorite OP! Lovely atmosphere and great compositions. Whole band is on great form.

Yesterday afternoon:

I will have to look for it in the basement. It might take a few days ......

Very interesting. I too am very into the playing of Yamashita and Akiyoshi.

Thanks for clearing this up!

Can you share a scan of that article?

When I wrote liner notes for an Oscar Peterson compilation on Pablo, I found two errors for the track where Oscar Peterson took over from Duke Ellington for a song. Both the date and the drummer were incorrect, Eric Miller disagreed and he was a bit stubborn, then I provided the relevant page from Timmer’s Ellingtonia discography and the citation from Mercer Ellington’s bio of Duke that cited him firing Bobby Durham and replacing him with Chris Columbus. Eric Miller relented and made the edits. Thanks for sharing the update provided by David Wild.

I saw Jane Monheit perform her Christmas show at Jimmy's in Portsmouth, NH last night. She did a nice job. I finally broke down and bought the download of Joey D's Christmas release. Good stuff.

El Combo de Ayer:

When I went to sleep last night- very beautiful music.

As I recall, he wasn't. But I am not sure. Eric Miller was the one who put it together, and I believe he was defiant in the face of criticism.
