Great! Sounds like the best thing to do. Thanks for sharing and all the best for the 3 of you.

My cd matches the info jazzmessenger lists. It is a 1998 mini lp numbered CY-18059

That seals the deal for me.

Copy and paste, for one.

I have most of the early stuff (pre-'50s) on 78 and the lp reissues are pale by comparison. I have multiples of the Port of Harlem and much of the rest. I even supplied BN with "source material". Get a grip boys......and yes I really do have the 78s. Each change of technology has pluses and minuses. Get over it.

Looks like Prestone to me.

Sorry I didn't mention those I've dumped.

I've been trying to stay away from comparisons, but you have opened the door - or I got tired of "containing". The Schnabel might be played at my funeral. Nothing else is close. I find all post '60s Brendel "mannered" and it drives me nuts. (Yup, blame Brendel). Lupu doesn't even register on my radar.

I've seen you do this before with different results. B-)

Don't you mean "a stout logger"?

Blakey was not a composer. Initially Silver, Mobley and Dorham provided music for the band. After they left Bu went outside for material. The compositional focus did not reappear until Golson was in the band.

You're the guy dat "poked" the little girl, right? Good goin'. Glad you get another year on your belt.

Mike, I was talking/typing about the Denon/Savoy disc. Never bothered with the other one.

Nah, that's the time to spring Brotzmann on 'em. They won't be able to stop dancin'.

Talk about "grumpy"!!!!!

Did I forget to say I forwarded this thread to your boss?

I had the exact opposite reaction. I was relieved I had something I thought was missing.

Great. All the best in the search for new employment.

Interesting. Fritz Kasten (drummer and occasional alto player) was a close friend in college and was in our wedding. I heard the band a couple of times and still have the first two lps.

While the last 3 sonatas are justly revered, do not neglect the rest. A good/inexpensive way to experience them is a complete cycle by Walter Klien on Vox. You should be able to find them (3 doubles) for under $30.

Yup. I currently have six recordings of it.

Also the 1953 MGM date with Roy Eldridge, Kai Winding, John LaPorta, Warne Marsh, Lester Young, Terry Gibbs, Teddy Wilson, Billy Bauer, Eddie Safranski, Max Roach and Billy Eckstine. Recorded July 9, 1953 How High the Moon parts 1 & 2 5:20 St. Louis Blues parts 1 & 2 6:18 This session is included in the Eckstine "Everything I Have Is Yours" set on Verve.

Sheridan wrote the notes to Von Freeman's "Serenade and Blues".

Juba Lee is wonderful as is Porto Novo, last seen on a Black Lion cd coupled with 20 minutes of duet performances with Leo Smith. I have fond memories of the two Calig lps with Gunter Hampel, Jeanne Lee and Steve McCall. Sadly these records went away a few years ago and all I have are the memories.

"To me" don't count. If it's the same thing, why did the Beastie Boys go to the trouble of getting a license?
