How is the sound on this? Is this the material that came out on the RCA 'Very Alive At Ronnie Scotts' 2LP set? Sound quality is good, though you can tell the band is playing in a confined space. Material originally issued on Rich in London (RCA LSP-4666) and Very Alive at Ronnie Scott's (English RCA DPS-2031.

Apple Jam is an amazingly swinging session. Always knew Wardell could do it, but Getz's playing here is a revelation!

Buddy Rich, Rich in London (Mosaic single) Recorded at Ronnie Scott's in 1971.

Let'stay with the blues! Now playing Elmore James, All Them Blues (DJM twofer labeled "Dobell's £2.99p"!)

I've two Turrentines in my collection: Up at Minton's and Never Let Me Go. Pleased both have received approval in this thread.

Yes, the cover of Introducing Wayne Shorter has super-sharp color photography of Wayne and tenor.

I saw them about that time. The only thing I remember is that Walter Bishop Jr was on piano.

Charlie Mingus Sextet, East Coasting (Affinity/Bethlehem) With Clarence Shaw, Jimmy Knepper, Shafi Hadi, Bill Evans and Dannie Richmond in 1957. My favorite Mingus album!

I think it's a tune that would lend itself perfectly to a punchy, medium-to-fast tempo arrangement by a hard bop quintet - the sort of thing the Hardman/McLean Messengers did with "Stella By Starlight" and "My Heart Stood Still". The versions mentioned above by the Dorham/Mobley/Silver Messengers and Farmer/Golson are gentler than the one I have in my head! Perhaps Harold Land did what I'm looking for, but I haven't heard Promised Land.

Don't you mean 'Streetcar Named Desire' by Arthur Miller?

Horace Silver Trio (Blue Note) Recorded 1952-53 with Art Blakey on drums.

Blues on WGBH with Brendan Hogan. Now playing: Muddy Waters and Otis Spann, "Five Long Years".

This week I saw a contemporary Irish movie (you don't get many of those!) called Garage and very good it was, too. Owner of said rural garage hopes to profit from the increase in passing trade resulting from the number of new houses being built, but slow-witted garage attendant is warned that owner may well choose demolition to make way for a block of flats.

Freddie Redd Quartet, Music from 'The Connection' (Blue Note) With Jackie McLean, Michael Mattos and Larry Richie in 1960.

Fascinating! I've seen a lot of the films mentioned here and for me the most memorable are The Connection (my Blue Note vinyl of the Redd/McLean version is a treasured item) and Anatomy of Murder. (When I saw it in the cinema on its release, there was an intermission to squeeze in even more of Duke's music!) But my favorite jazz film - admittedly not within the remit of this exhibition - is the Swedish Sven Klang's Combo, which is said to relate to the life of Lars Gullin and contains superb music. Anyone seen this?

Might be, but in the 1960s she wasn't longer musically active. You can read it at Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims Keep swinging Durium Perhaps this is why Steve Voce was asking the question

Jazz Library online from BBC Radio 3. Critic Alyn Shipton reviews Chico Hamilton's career on records, basing the program on an interview with Hamilton two years ago. Full of humor and anecdotes (as well as musical insights), it's strongly recommended and is currently available on the Listen Again facility at BBC Radio 3.

Marc Myers' mention of Phil's friendship with Gerry Mulligan in the Elliot Lawrence Orchestra has led me to another of Phil's solos in my record collection. It's on the Lawrence band's version of Mulligan's "Elevation", recorded on April 13 1949. I have it on a CBS LP called Gerry Mulligan: the Arranger.

I remember Jutta Hipp as a jazz name in the sixties. Jazz writer and Liverpudlian wit, Steve Voce, asked in Jazz Journal, "Is Jutta really hip?"

Sonny Buxton on KBCS. Now playing: Rollins/Stitt battle on "The Eternal Triange" from Sonny Side Up with Dizzy Gillespie.

Remember seeing him play solo at Scotts - would have been about 1979-80. Born blind, he was resident in New York during the sixties, but returned to Britain after- as I heard him say on the radio - being attacked in the subway.

Jazz Record Requests from BBC Radio 3. Now playing: Eddie Thompson (solo piano) recorded at Ronnie Scott's 1970.

Oliver Nelson Orchestra, Afro/American Sketches (Prestige) A controversial album, but I like it!

Fine album! (My LP is U.S. Epic.)
