I sent him an email 4 days ago & no response yet - have checked spam

I was always under the impression that the Charly/Actuel tapes were lost years ago when their basement flooded

Yes please, on my list

new batch of BYG-Actuel CD releases via Solid Japan coming late March (25) - It's the next 10 from the original 52 releases (69-72) Acting Trio, Braxton (B-Xo/N-0-1-4-7a), Cyrille (What About), Joachim Kuhn (Sounds Of Feelings), Shepp (Blase), Coursil (Way Ahead), Burrell (Echo), Moncur (New Africa), Terroade (Love Rejoice), Thornton (Ketchaoua). Many of these have not had official/legit CD releases AFAIK. Some choice stuff in there - wondering how many of these will be released via the recent BYG reissue program - they see to be much more selective plus what is the relationship between the current BYG & Solid releases, if any - nothing on the Hoffman site regarding this. https://diskunion.net/jazz/ct/list/0/0/137098/0/0/0/10/0/2 Thornton's Ketchaoua is also being released next month (Feb) via the official BYG site https://bygrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ketchaoua is it worth modifying the title of this thread to new BYG-Actuel releases or should I commence a new thread?

Trost is rereleasing 2 Howard LPs from the FMP sub label SAJ, Schizophrenic Blues & Berlin Concert, both live '77 & '78 Doesn't look like there's going to be any digital component to the release, only LP (so far?) https://www.trost.at/noah-howard-group-berlin-concert.html https://www.trost.at/noah-howard-quartet-schizophrenic-blues.html

Just seen the news on the Beefheart Appreciation site that Elliot has passed - Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band guitarist extraordinaire Big fan of The Don & Magic Band since the 70s - actually saw them (sans Don of course) at the Byron Bay Blues & Roots Festival a few years back RIP Elliot

part of the rear of that CD showing the Dale releases 4 titles with 2 parts each - i presume that would have been the tracks from the 10" version but which of these were on the EP - all part I's? (as you said Mike, you'd need to listen). Is part 2 an alternate take of part 1 as some discographies suggest or are they continuations from part 1?

pity they didn't add the Ra Transition acetate tracks covering alts/outtakes etc from the same sessions - they need a proper issue https://musicpriceguide.com/12572/sun-ra-outtakes-1957-acetate-lp-unreleased-transition-unknown-recordings-hear/

I've seen this previously & wonder if those alts are actually the Parts 1 & 2 from the 10" LP ie the alt is part 2 for the LP - just a guess, otherwise the 10" would be a very short (EP size) recording - the 10" LP actually has 7 tracks according to an online sale description Here's another version of this session The Birdland Quintet / Paul Quinichette Quintet Paul Quinichette as Vice Prez, tenor sax; Kenny Drew, piano; Freddie Green, guitar; Gene Ramey, bass; Gus Johnson, drums. NYC, December 8, 1952 4005 You Belong To Me Jax 5001; Dale EP 204, LP 22; Xanadu 208; Mainstream MDCD 722 4006 Green Is Blue - 4007-?

Here's the 7" EP list - from the back cover of a Dale EP EP's 200/201 made up 10" LP 21 EP's 202/203 made up 10" LP 23 EP 204 made up 10" LP 22 (only 4 tracks) but each track was divided into parts 1 & 2 (ie double the length) for the LP version EP's 205/206 made up 10" LP 25 EP's 208/209 made up 10" LP 24 (Wardell Gray/John Hardee) Did EP 207 (Al Haig Trio) ever make it to 10"?

Looks like I was wrong with the 10" LP - found copies online (has 7 tracks) https://www.popsike.com/Paul-Quinichette-Quartet-with-Kenny-Drew-DALE-LP-2210/161703113618.html https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/paul-quinichette-dale-22-gorgeous-10-128921270

I don't think the Quinichette Dale 10" (LP-22) was ever released though half of the material was released on Dale EP-204 https://www.ebay.com/itm/353479182354

All of the tracks (8)(Storyville Oct/Nov 51), from this 10" (& the 2 EPs, #205/206) were released on the Billie Holiday ESP 4CD set "Rare Live Recordings 1934-59". Actually, 15 tracks from this location & similar time period were released in this set. BTW, Stan only plays on 3 tracks.

What a lineup of UK/Euro free jazz musicians Don Cherry, trumpet, flute Manfred Schoof, trumpet Tomasz Stanko, trumpet Paul Rutherford, trombone Albert Mangelsdorff, trombone Steve Lacy, soprano saxophone John Tchicai, soprano & alto saxophone Trevor Watts, alto saxophone Willem Breuker, alto, tenor saxophone, clarinet Peter Brötzmann, alto, tenor & baritone saxophone John Surman, baritone saxophone Derek Bailey, guitar Gunter Hampel, vibes, bass clarinet Joachim Kühn, piano, alto saxophone Irène Aebi, violin, vocals Dave Holland, bass, cello Barre Phillips, bass Johnny Dyani, bass, cello Peter Warren, bass John Stevens, drums, percussion, cornet Han Bennink, drums, percussion, dhung Stu Martin, drums Pierre Favre, drums, percussion Karin Krog, vocals Norma Winstone, vocals

I was shocked when I heard the news this morning Been a big fan since the late 70s after first seeing Eraserhead He was out here (Australia) a few years back on a speaking tour which my partner & I attended here in Brisbane. Our Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA, Brisbane) had a retrospective on him a few years back RIP David

picked up the Shorty Rogers, Stuff Smith, Teagarden Roulette sets all CD plus the Ammons/Lux Lewis LP box over the past couple of years for good prices. Those Basie Roulette boxes are in the cream of the crop of Mosaic sets IMHO

almost double that price in australian$ (405 via Amazon) - our $ is currently tanking. Looks tempting as I only have her early output (first 5 or 6 LPs) on vinyl picked up many years ago. Hugely influential musician IMHO - one of my fav vocalists

was very happy with their CD box set reissue program - picked up many of them though would have been over the moon with three more potential sets (that never eventuated), Billy Bang, Leroy Jenkins & Glenn Spearman

23 of the 85 tracks are Jimmy Rushing vocals whilst Joe Williams sings on 3 tracks

Buddy Tate (28 tracks) has the lion's share followed by Sam Margolis (8 tracks ts & cl), Lucky Thompson (6 tracks), Coleman Hawkins (5 tracks), Frank Wess (4 tracks ts & fl), Frank Foster (4 tracks with Frank Wess) also on alto we have Earle Warren (12 tracks including 5 with Coleman Hawkins), Pete Brown (4 tracks), Ben Richardosn as/cl (7 tracks), Rudy Powell, as/cl (10 tracks) BTW, the SQ is stunning - only listened to disc 1 so far & the opening bars of the first track just blew me away for audio quality

I have the complete concert plus speeches etc over 3CDrs that I made from files someone traded with me (or I found & downloaded online) a few years ago now
