J.A.W.

According to Leonard Feather and Ira Gitler's Biographical Encyclopedia of Jazz (1999; Oxford University Press, NYC) Tommy Turrentine was sporadically active from the mid 1960s. In the 1970s and 1980s he was associated with the "University of the Streets" on NYC's Lower East Side, frequently performing there with saxophonist Clarence Sharpe. He appeared with Barry Harris at Symphony Space, NYC in the 1980s, and he played and recorded with Sun Ra in 1988. Although ill health forced him to stop playing in 1988, he continued to write and contribute compositions to recordings by Stanley Turrentine and others. He died in NYC on May 13, 1997.

Peter, I put it up for auction here.

I've listened to this one several times now, and it's not my cup of tea: As is well known to some posters here, I don't like vocalizing and there's just too much of it on this disc. It's also too mannered, too arty if you like, to my taste.

Not yet, too much music lying around We're going to lose an hour anyway tonight (daylight saving time from 2 AM here)

...and this one:

I really like this one a lot:

The Art Pepper with Warne Marsh CD (Victor Japan VICJ-60767) has these tracks: I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me I Can't Believe That You're in Love with Me (alternate take) All the Things You Are All the Things You Are (alternate take) What's New Avalon Tickle Toe Warnin' Warnin' (alternate take) Stomping at the Savoy

Again: Not sure about this one now... Edit: I am now, I'm selling it.

It's an older album that I played only once, so it was time to listen to it again and "see" if I'd really like it: and I do

The Art Pepper - Warne Marsh album is available as a Japanese 20-bit K2 remastered CD from Red Trumpet. They're having a special spring sale until March 31.

Guillermo Gregorio may be an acquired taste, but I really like this one:

I just got this reply from ICE magazine's Watchdog: Thank you, J.A.W. - we'll contact Rhino and get right on the case. Appreciate you pointing it out. With best wishes, the ICE editors

I wonder if there are more posters whose copies have the same problem.

Probably - either that or give every buyer a refund.

My copy (#1430) has the same problem. I've just e-mailed Rhino and ICE magazine's Watchdog about it.

Glad I got rid of it!

That's what I keep telling msyelf...

I got a message from hat that they will reissue the Marsh eventually, but no date has been set yet.

I've been doing that for years, and very successfully too, I might add... My collection has grown beyond my wildest dreams

none. no customs tag or re-sealing, nothing whatsoever. So it must have been the mail service somewhere along the long line. I'm glad it's here now though, as I am really digging this Marsh disk. Yep, it's great, no doubt about it

So you finally got it. Any idea why it took so long?

Don't have it yet (it's on the way) - can't wait...

I saw him live at one of the annual but now defunct "Groningen Jazz Marathon" festivals in the early or mid-1970s. Other than that, no.

Unless direct import from Japan is not an option for you, I'm pretty sure Hiroshi Tanno will be able to get them for you at a reasonable price: hiroshi@earlyrecords.com. His shipping rates are not nearly as high as the rates other Japanese stores are charging and his service is great. He takes PayPal. Edit: hadn't seen Jazzshrink's post above when I posted this. Sorry!
