Wasn't that a 'Great Day in Harlem' forum or something? It does not seem to exist anymore... Joined it on the first (or second) day of the Exodus, along with three other forums. It took only a few days to decide which one to stick with Yep, it was the "Great Day in Harlem" board. I got the impression they weren't too happy with the invasion, even though their board was all but dead. It had a weird atmosphere.

I got the Donald Byrd and Dexter Gordon titles that are also on the respective Mosaic and Blue Note boxes and did a few very quick comparisons some time ago. The Japanese CDs came out best, but let me add that I'm biased: I don't really like the sound on those boxes very much, they are typical later Ron McMaster jobs - I prefer his earlier work. Your mileage may vary, of course

Wasn't trad jazz more like a fad? I think some of its musicians were influential, not so much trad jazz itself (Ken Colyer also comes to mind). Its heyday was short-lived if I remember correctly (late 1950s-early 1960s). By the way, wasn't Alexis Korner more into blues?

Threads like this always remind me of members who left the board. I miss some of them. It was nothing, really. All I did was start the thread.

Yep - Acker Bilk in his pre-"Stranger on the Shore" days had some success with "That's My Home" with his Paramount Jazz Band, and so did Chris Barber with his version of "Petite Fleur", and I'm sure there were others. Humphrey Lyttleton, too, with 'Bad penny blues' - a while before, though, in '56 I think. The Temperance Seven had four hits in the early sixties. John R T Davies was a member. And others, too, but I can't recall them. MG PS Acker had 6 UK hits before 'Strangler on the shore', 3 in the top 10. Alex Welsh had a small hit in '61. Chris Barber managed 3 hits. Kenny topped them all with 13 UK hits between 1961 and 1964 and another in '67. Yes, of course, the Temperance Seven with John R.T. Davies, with novelty hits like "Pasadena" and "You're Driving Me Crazy". Funny at best. Trad jazz wasn't really my thing and I don't remember any other hits besides the ones I mentioned.

(Former?) board member Michael Fitzgerald is co-author of the book. If I remember correctly the book has been discussed here. Weird that you couldn't find an old thread about it.

Sorry to hear this. Though I was not exactly a "trad jazz" fan, I liked his early 1960s hit versions of "March of the Siamese Children", "The Green Leaves of Summer" and "Midnight in Moscow".

I don't know if this is a unauthorized release, but I deleted my link to avoid any problems.

This is the description on Amazon U.K.:

Great book.

It was one album, A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren. And the group is called "Little Feat", not "Little Feet"; a small yet not insignificant difference

I don't think Blue Note had to be sold to get approval for the merger (or whatever it's called), so I guess it's going with EMI to Universal.

The Classics CD is available from private sellers on Amazon UK for around £14.50 / $22 / €16.80 (including tax, which will be deducted for non-EU orders) plus shipping: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B0000945YL/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

Thanks for the recommendation, but that won't happen anytime soon. I've got more important things to do Excellent recommendations! Another important source is Godrich & Dixon's Blues and Gospel Records 1902-1943 discography.

That would be my guess too. According to my Bruyninckx they were made in 1947.

My Bruyninckx doesn't list it.

Seconded.

There's been a lot of fighting here.You didn't join until November 2012, so you missed most of it.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!
