romualdo

also Bell Sound Studios, Millbrook, NY (Timothy Leary), Judson Hall (Ayler SpiritsRejoice), A-1 Sound (Herb Abramson's Studio) see p61-62 (Ch 😎 of "Always in Trouble" plus p150-159 (section on Richard Alderson) "The studio where I recorded all the ESP stuff was an abandoned warehouse on West 65th Street, which had been condemned" The name was changed from RLA to Impact Studio when Harry Belafonte bought in

looks like all 4 are getting the CD treatment

great news, finally a CD release It's not yet listed on the Souffle Continu site, including SC Bandcamp, actually can't find it anywhere except Soundohm ATS

RIP Danny - versatile & wonderful bassist saw him play with Richard Thompson here in Brisbane, late 90s? Have been enjoying the recent Nick Drake 5LP "Making of 5 Leaves Left" set - quite a bit of unreleased Danny here (10 previously unreleased takes)

add 1969/11/2 London, UK - Ronnie Scott's - BBC TV broadcast - I have a 7 minute recording of "Fragments of a Dedication....."

enjoying this recent JIB release (#4 from the contemporary Jazz Now series) The Dark Days Quartet (named after a James Baldwin text of essays) perform James Baldwin inspired improv & composed material Pat Thomas from the group "Ahmed" on ivories with Cleveland Watkiss on loops & recitation/vocals (extracts from the Baldwin essays). Neil Charles (b) leads the quartet & also has composer credits plus Mark Sanders on drums Recorded live at Cafe Oto last October (2024) https://jazzviews.net/neil-charles-dark-days-quartet/

has anyone mentioned a Lester Young live Birdland set - there is the Boris Rose 6LP set "The President" as a starter & I'm sure there would be more - that material could be cleaned up & digitalised - some has in dribs & drabs

I was in the same situation as you & bought this set in dribs & drabs over 4 years (2001-2014) only missing out on disc 2 where an Organissimo member burnt me a CDr also back in 2014. That same year I also scored a booklet from Mosaic. Normally I would have photocopied this on an A4 scanner (do this for a jazz friend in Sydney, particularly the Mosaic sets). I came a cross an alternate method today ie use a scanner iPhone App ie Adobe Scanner - I've managed effectively to scan the whole booklet as a PDF file - it's 27.9MB - I could send this to you via Dropbox if you like?

RIP Mark - wonderful Turtles harmonies didn't realise he sang on T-Rex's "Bang A Gong" The "Mudshark" dialogue also came to mind

on my birthday list

Wonder if anyone has previously mentioned an Ahmed Abdul-Malik set - six original releases on various labels (Riverside, Prestige, New-Jazz, RCA-Victor, Status) - would have been a nice Mosaic Select IMHO. The UK Avid label have 4 of the releases on a twofer CD set. Won't happen now with the demise of Selects. The recent live (Stockholm, club residency over 5 nights) tribute 5CD set "Giant Beauty" by [Ahmed] (yes, the brackets are part of the name) is highly recommended IMHO.

agreed

Anyone for Art Clokey proto-Gumby jazz performed by the Mel Powell trio found this The jazz music on Art Clokey's short film Gumbasia was the drum-dominated instrumental "Don-Que-Dee" by The Mel Powell Trio. This 1954 recording by the trio accompanied the claymation film, helping Art Clokey secure the funding needed to produce the first Gumby short.

James to the rescue!!

one of my fav Lacy sets - when I met him after a concert here in Brisbane in the late 90s IIRC he actually brought up Irene & praised her performances - actually, I've never had an issue with her vocals.

from Session Notes, p 683 (Coltrane Reference) Private recording by Alan Sukoenig, who recorded with a portable tape recorder at the club; the tapes are currently in the collection of the Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS), Rutgers, New Jersey. These mono audio recordings are of listenable audio quality; they feature powerful Coltrane solos (particularly his cadenza on "I Want To Talk About You") and deserve to be released through official channels.

according to The Coltrane Reference (p683), JC played unaccompanied piano during the intermission - there's a lot of talking in the background of the recording but the piano is very audible - it's a fascinating listen

falls between his Half Note concert (same musician lineup) & the first Blue Note Cape Verdean session The Natives Are Restless Tonight : Carmell Jones (tp) Joe Henderson (ts) Horace Silver (p) Teddy Smith (b) Roger Humphries (d) Alan Grant radio broadcast "Half-Note", New York, April 16, 1965 Song for my father Emerald EMRCD-1003 [CD], 32 Jazz 32005 [CD] The natives are restless tonight - - Que pasa ? - - Note: 32 Jazz 32005 [CD] titled "Re-entry". All above titles also on Ram R-81002 [CD], DIW (Jap)DIW-130 [CD], Ezz-thetics (Swi)1137 [CD]. See February 11 & 18, 1966 for more titles from all issues. The Cape Verdean Blues : The Horace Silver Quintet : Woody Shaw (tp) Joe Henderson (ts) Horace Silver (p) Bob Cranshaw (b) Roger Humphries (d) Englewood Cliffs, NJ, October 1, 1965 1661 (tk 4) Pretty eyes (*) Blue Note BLP4220, CDP7-84220-2 [CD], 45-1923 1662 (tk 6) The African Queen - - , 45-1924 1663 (tk 16) The Cape Verdean blues (*) - - , 45-1923, BN-LA402-H2, (E)BNSLP-1, (G)BST84510, Blue Note CDP7-95590-2 [CD], EMI (Eu)493466-2 [CD], Blue Note 3-77398-2 [CD] Note: Blue Note (E)BNSLP-1, CDP7-95590-2 [CD] both titled "Blue bossa"; rest of LP/CD by others. (*) These two titles also on Blue Note CDP7-93206-2 [CD], (Eu)7932062 [CD].

A welcome reissue (first on CD though) - earliest recording of Osborne/Tracey duo ('72) - will be a worthy addition to their duo Wigmore Hall concert from '74 (another Cadillac release & given CD Rx back in 2017). Still hoping for the as yet unreleased (CD) 1976 duo concerts (Bracknell) originally released on Ogun as Tandem https://stantraceymikeosborne.bandcamp.com/album/original

Wow!! I thought he passed years ago - was introduced to him in the 70s - what an innings, 97 My fav recording of his was The Masochism Tango, hearing it first via an Australian band "Captain Matchbox" version in the early 70s Also remember seeing his 10" LPs at various friends parents houses in the past from WIKI In 1960, Lehrer essentially retired from touring in the U.S.[2] The same year, he toured Australia and New Zealand, performing a total of 33 concerts to great acclaim[38] and controversy.[49] While in New Zealand, he penned lyrics critical of the All Blacks' upcoming tour of Apartheid-era South Africa and Prime Minister Walter Nash's stance on it.[50][51] Lehrer's tours occurred during a time in which he was, he said, "banned, censored, mentioned in several houses of parliament and threatened with arrest." In particular, "Be Prepared" drew advance resistance in Brisbane from the commissioner of police. He performed several songs in Australia that were still unreleased, including "The Masochism Tango."[31]

superb set

RIP Ozzy - Master of Reality was my fav but Paranoid always makes me smile, especially the lyrics saw Sabbath live here in Brisbane back in '74 (at the legendary Festival Hall), even have some pics (transparencies) of the concert somewhere

Danilio, are you aware of the massive 5 Volume series published (last year IIRC) in Italian only by Antonio Lanza (italian academic & jazz fan) called "Californian Jazz, 1951-1960" (Italian Publishers only) I convinced an Italian Veterinary colleague here in Brisbane (Australia) to attempt a translation (she was keen to try & completed volume 1) & has had Amazon publish the first volume (english version) - she brought me back the entire (Italian) set on a recent holiday to her home country earlier this year https://www.amazon.com.au/Californian-Jazz-1951-1960-Antonio-Lanza/dp/B0DF2MDYTS/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0

just checked my database & between 1995 & 2008 & picked up 101 BN Connoisseurs & have parted with 20 of those over the years (upgraded to RVGs, JBNLTs, JSHMs) My fav series was the BN 10"s doubles plus a shout out for Elmo Hope's Trio & Quintet sessions (BN & PJ) Overall the complete series had a profound impact on my listening thanks to Michael C
