  9. Teamed up with fellow Org member Sidewinder in Sale, Greater Manchester to see Lady Sings the Blues, a celebration of Billie Holiday by singer Wiseman, ably supported by Alan Barnes, Bruce Adams, Roy Williams, Brian Dee and Len Skeat.

  11. Let's not forget Tiny Kahn, composer of the much-played "Tiny's Blues". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Kahn
  12. Well, Katzman sounds as if he's struggling (poor articulation, inaccurate pitching) on the Supersax album, in complete contrast to the one with Pepper Adams, where he's in blazing form. I guess the answer is age. He was born in 1928 and was 29 when Critics' Choice was recorded in 1957. The date I'm getting for the Supersax album is 1992, when he would have been 64.

  14. I see it's available on Spotify. I'll give it another listen and see what I think now. It's a few years since I owned that copy. Very much like Critic's Choice, by the way.

  16. Have just listened to New York Connections for a second time. Jeb Patton plays some fantastic piano on there! I was very impressed by his playing when I heard him in February in Southport, UK with a sextet that included the Fishwick brothers and Frank Basile.

  18. Something put me off about that one - may have been Inaccurate pitching - and I sold it on. But I did get a decent price for it!
  19. When I said "out of fashion" I meant in the uninformed opinion of British jazz fans in their early 20s, which is what I was at the time, and for whom the buzz words were Coltrane, Tyner, Elvin, Kirk, etc, but certainly not Hines. As to the award he won for a solo album, it may have been jazz album of the year as chosen by British jazz critics, or something like that.
  20. I really like The Right Time.
