I am sure the Bush/Ashcroft circle frowns on biwire situations. Be VERY cautious. I think this is horseshit unless you have a desk full of green magic markers.

To belatedly answer Bertrand's question about the unissued Freddie Redd. It was recorded the day after Lonely City with Duvivier and Riley. Seven tunes were recorded. The info was in the Mosaic/Redd booklet and is listed in Bruyninckx. I have copies of the tapes, but no copies of the studio log to sort out takes, etc.

The two Dameronia lps will NOT fit on one cd.

The traditional can of worms.

GEEZ! I have around 4000 thoughts in my head about this. I hope I can clear some of the shit and have something "smart" to say tomorrow.

Hans, what does "happy birthday" mean to you? Does it have some real significance? Please tell us about it. Why curry favor with the "Jazz Shrink"?

In this thread I chastised Jim, Big Al and Soul Stream for ignoring (thus dissing) Baby Face Willette. In spite of the bad feelings we went to hear Organissimo at Billy's Lounge last night. Spotting Ann and me in the crowd, Jim started the first set with "Swingin' At Sugar Ray's"! Then he blew it by calling it "Stompin' At Sugar Ray's"! We still have a way to go "Big Boy".

Funny you say that. In my original message I typed something like that and deleted it.

How many Teddy Wilson Mosaics did he sell to group members and how/why? I was amazed by the care in packing of my shipments from him.

Knepper is my favorite trombonist after Dickie Wells. I was lucky enough to work with both of them. Life can be GRAND.

So have Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. I'm not sure about Buddy Bolden.

Another vote for the Eddy Louiss date. Rene Thomas and Kenny Clarke round out the trio.

That'll be tomorrow night.

Alfredson, Big Al and Soul Stream need to "get right"! No mention of the greatest organ record of all time - "Face to Face". I once wrote "this record is the reason God allowed Mr Hammond to desecrate the organ".

Very sad. I will think of Ken each time I play the Teddy Wilson Mosaic he sent me.

Yes. Mrs. Z is the former Mrs. M. This should bring the Debut/Workshop stuff into focus.

Wrong Turk Clem. T'was brother Ahmet.

I ain't gonna tell.

Clem is one of 14 hipsters knowing this one.

Don't you like noodles?

PLEASE, someone go to the sight and pretend you are a "copyright holder" and tell me you don't give them the right to let others issue your music on cd.

Re: Short, Mercer, etc. During the holiday break I had the chance to read Larry's book in my mother-in-law's bathroom - AND the piece titled "Cabaret Music" speaks of an alternate universe. Hoity toity in the toilet.

Any fans here of Brother Matthew? If not, how about Boyce Brown? Since the style is preBird, some of you are "forgiven". One of my favorites is Leak Onitz.

God bless!
