Yes! I tried to find the film last night, but it wasn't on the streaming services we use. It must be terrible. It is from 1959, but it reuses stock footage from the 1932 film!

Ferdinand Povel

Piano Sonatas No.32, 48, 53, 58, 62

A great Rhythm Section ....

Nts-session 2

Chino y Su Conjunto Melao - En Mi Casa Latina (Latina Records, 1979)

My favorite is Lee Konitz's Lone-Lee. Almost 40 min of "The Song Is You" is a small wonder. st

Damn, although I'm not exactly sure what that means. I mean, did that attitude affect the MJQ at all?

Great reissue.

This one is good. Reminds me I need to give it another listen.

Ooops, "auto correction attack" .... my bad ....

That should be one for me ....

He was the greatest, IMHO, and speeled himself Jerry 😉

Red Octopus and Jazz by Freddie, those where the places where I could be spotted then..... But I am glad the there is still a lot of stuff goin around. Now you mostly can spot me at ZWE´s .

Yeah those were the times. That´s the fantastic club where I spent my youth. Saw Johnny Griffin also there, and to hear as often as possible the fantastic rhythm section Pauer-Woode-Inzalaco , or just as own unit (They recorded Blues Inside Out at that time), That was my homebase. I stayed there into the small hours when I was still underage........

My Favorite : Vinny Golia - Solo

Very interesting inputs. First, reading the title I had thought it´s "Three or Four Shades of the Blues" which is a Mingus opus I saw him live playin it . Didn´t know there is also a book about that earlier time with KOB, Ornette, Trane and so on. Well I don´t really have much about Red Mitchell, I think I have a lot of other bassists from Ray Brown, Oscar Pettiford, Chambers, Ron, Buster Williams and so on, but evidently no Red Mitchell. I have read that when Mingus got a new bass delivered to the hospital where Mingus was at the end of 77, Red Mitchell came by and tried it, but he tuned it to 5th, which I don´t understand, since I have a bass fiddle my self and it´s tuned in 4th as any bass instrument. I was astonished that Klook said that John Lewis hated jazz. Well I tell you what, maybe John Lewis is not my first choice as a pianist, but his little spare solos are jewelries and I love it. Just had listend to a set live with Parker he did, and he is wonderful on "Swedish Schnapps", and I love his MJQ albums for Prestige. Ornette has always been a favourite of mine, but the very early albums still sound very much boppish to me. I listen more to the things he did from the Mid Sixties on, from Golden Circle to Primetime everything..... And I don´t think Miles hated Ornette, at least not on alto and as a composer, but yeah he hated that Ornette played trumpet since he is not a trumpet player.

Jerry Garcia Band “Cats Under the Stars” Arista LP

Sure took a long time to get cool last night. But it’s nice right now. Keith Jarrett “Concerts” ECM LP 2

Fernando Lavoy Y Los Soneros "No Vuelvo Contigo" (SAR Records) 1982 .... from an utterly convincing LP ....

Fernando Lavoy Y Los Soneros "Cogelo Suave"(SAR Records) 1982 ... sublime piano solo by Juan González Jr. ....

Worth hearing how soulful bassplayer Gerry Jemmott holds this together ....

A small but world class record store aka Red Octopus Records @ Wien imported from Japan and US heavily (or should I say heavenly ?) at that time .... those were the days .....

Thanks! Don’t think many people had the opportunity to compare.
