  1. Soma Morgenstern, Dan, Ira Gitler
  2. absolutely
  3. Fischer told me Warne Marsh was ruined by listening to black players playing behind the beat.
  4. Almost any thing you can imagine about him is probably true.
  5. I know that guy and we have some stuff in store for the nessa 50th anniversary next year.
  6. The Byrd album was originally recorded for Warner Bros.
  7. I just noticed my collection data base has this sequence - Ljuba Welitsch, Bobby Wellins, Dickie Wells. Hmmm. Three serious artists not otherwise bumping shoulders. Any other random lists to offer?
  8. Never mind, I forgot this is an American League topic.
  9. I have to keep reminding myself how much I appreciate Teddy Wilson. I am actually playing a cdr I made of this lp plus 6 more titles recorded the same day. The others are Jesper Lundgard and Ed Thigpen.
  10. How's that for commitment!
  11. I have a real weakness for performances of "struggle" and ultimate triumph. Possibly my favorite example is the BBC recording of Bruckner 8, Horenstein/LSO from 1970.
  12. And the contest has started. :-)
  13. New World has also released a previously unissued MJR disc of Earl Hines playing Cole Porter. Bill Weilbacher, guiding light and financier of MJR, also shared some of his recordings with the Australian Swaggie label including a wonderful "Earl Hines plays George Gershwin" disc.
  14. 8123, 8125 & 8127 as well
  15. A number of those were reissues of Felsted dates.
  16. A wonderful Julian Dash lp with a killin' Jimmy Shirley has never been reissued as far as I know, but these two are available: There was an early Mosaic box of solo piano recordings from the label.
  17. Trade you, even up. I think future collectors will be searching for this faulty edition.
  18. Mine is 32 pages but 8 of them are duplicates leaving me with 8 missing pages.
  19. My booklet is all messed up with duplicate pages. Anyone else have this problem? How many pages total in a "correct" booklet?
  20. FWIW, recent ECMs have the "made in Mexico" label as well.
  21. Cruising to Cologne at the moment - meeting with guitarist/composer Scott Fields in the afternoon and he is taking us to an event - I'm sure it will be interesting.
  22. Doesn't sound like it. :-)
  23. We leave for Amsterdam on Monday. Couple of days there, on way to Vienna (2 days), Budapest (2 days) and Prague (2 days) via a river cruise - lots of stops in between. PM if interested in meeting for coffee, lunch, etc.
