Just realised that I actually have "Disposability" as a standalone CD (no label but catalogue # as KCD 002) I've listened to the first four titles three or four times now & the popping/flutter/clipping is not evident but on track #4 (Tune 2) there appears to be tapping/percussion throughout the performance (not associated with the drumming) - at approx 5:34 it becomes very prominent & sounds like a conga? or is it SL tapping his horn - this doesn't sound like distortion & appears to be part of the original recording Anyone else care to listen & comment

Jeff thanks for your comments - I think I'll hold off on this release even though I'm a big SL fan

I've noticed on the Contemporary Manne CD "Steps To The Desert" (contains the LP "My Son, The Jazz Drummer) four "single edits" of titles from the LP "Zamar Nodad", "Exodus", "Tzena" & "Hava Nagilah" Were these actually released as singles - can't find any trace on discographies or searching on ebay etc

RIP Fred nice innings @ 94

Albums on the set: Clifford Jordan’s In The World and Glass Bead Game, Cecil Payne’sZodiac, Charles Brackeen’s Rhythm X, Wilbur Ware’s Super Bass, Pharoah Sanders’ Izipho Zam, and Ed Blackwell’s Shades of Edward Blackwell (with Don Cherry and Wilbur Ware, previously unreleased). Oh Yeah!! sounds great - I'll definitely be in for this

was referring to the musical content rather than the SQ

Avid have just released a Tony Scott double containing the 3 LPs (has this already been mentioned?) 52nd St Scene Tony Scott In HiFi The Touch Of Tony Scott I'm a bit wary of the Avid releases but still have picked up a few of them (Anita O'day, Johnny Hodges, Al Cohn/Zoot Sims, Milt Jackson) Any comments on these recordings? (mid to late 50's RCA's & Corals) Don't have much 50's Scott - there isn't much around - that's when I usually go for the Avids - tempted with this one Wish Mosaic would have attempted a Select of his RCA material.

Had his LP "Penguin Eggs" for quite a few years - brilliant stuff The photo on the left is the actual cover to the LP

I have two spare plastic trays - one for 2 Cds (double) & one for three Cds (single) The two space double one may be of use to you but it's shipping from Australia Sorry, no 4 singles

It'll be spring here in Brisbane & I'll be green with envy - what a feast Tempted to fly over

for me the "dark horse" of the label is the Dick Wetmore 10" - a wonderful quartet session (Wetmore vln, Ray Santisi p, Bill Nordstrom b, Jimmy Zitano b) consisting of Bob Zieff compositions/arrangements (he was actively involved) Dick Twardzik was supposed to have played on this session (he was present at Wetmore's rehearsals) but it didn't transpire - Jack Chambers discusses this LP in his book on DT Luckily I have a burn from a 10" - listening to this & then Chet Baker's versions of the same titles is a revelation Don't think this has ever had an official CD or 12" LP release - if you have any interest in Bob Zieff, this is essential IMHO I do hope they release this one

It's a Lars Gullin LP discography - pics of all the LP's he played on http://www.digmusic.se/LarsGullin.KlassiskaSkivomslag.html

I bought this CD (along with a few other Gullin items & the great Norman Howard tribute LP from the anagram website in 2010) - pity the website has shut down - is David Reid still contactable? I can help with two of the titles, "Ablution" & "Detour Ahead The MOMA concert (Moderna Museet, Stockholm) was recorded on March 30, 1964 - originally released on Sonet LP 2659 (see below) The extract below is slightly wrong - "Ablution" & "Detour Ahead" are on Anagram CD 7 (not "You Stepped Out Of A Dream") http://gullin.blogspot.com.au/search?updated-min=2007-01-01T00:00:00%2B01:00&updated-max=2008-01-01T00:00:00%2B01:00&max-results=15 The forgotten tapes Only parts of the 1964 concert at the Museum of Modern Art (Moderna museet) were published on Sonet. Now Jan Olsson reports that he has rediscovered the remaining materal, including You Stepped out of a Dream, Ablution, Detour Ahead and Fascinating Rhythm. The first two have been issued on Anagram CD7. But Detour Ahead is played by Rolf Billberg alone with the rhythm section and strings. Nu Gullin present, so strike b from session 64-02. Lars Gullin with Strings Lars Gullin var tillbaka i Stockholm i början på 1964. Rolf Billberg hade också återvänt och de började spela alltmer tillsammans. I februari spelar de med en gemensam kvintett två veckor på Gyllene Cirkeln, varifrån några låtar finns utgivna på CD av Anagram. Gullin träffar också producenten Gunnar Lindqvist på EMI som vill ge ut en LP med delvis nytt material som Gullin skrivit i Köpenhamn. Materialet, bl.a kompositionen Portrait of my Pals, framförs först vid en konsert påsken 1964 på Moderna Museet som arrangerades av musikerorganisationen Emanon. Lars Gullin och Rolf Billberg är huvudsolister och de backas upp av stråkar och en grupp jazzmusiker. Konserten spelades in men gavs inte ut på skiva förrän 1980, på den här LPn på Sonet. Den är producerad av Keith Knox. Omslagsfotot har tagits av Nils Edström.

Reckless Records has a "near mint" copy of the Getz 53-54 Clef/Norgran Mosaic (4LP) set for $69.99 http://www.reckless.com/index.php?keywords=getz+mosaic&format=&cond=&store=&is_search=true&srch=Search

Thanks for the info on sourcing EP's Western Front -> was hoping Honest Jon's (UK) carried it -> have bought vinyl from them before Just looked at my PSI acquisitions - have almost half of the 84 releases (there are probably 4 or 5 more I'd like to get) Need to get a few more Lol Coxhill & Paul Rutherford releases The price has been dropped to 7 pounds for quite a few of the PSI & Emanem single discs

has anyone mentioned Coltrane "Side Steps" for $16.03 http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=coltrane+side+steps

Did the same with a disc from one of the recent Ellington sets a couple of years ago - there's a real art to getting those discs out (unbelievably tight) in some of the boxes

Anyone suggest where I can obtain the EP LP Western Front without paying big sums for shipping Last night I tried to order directly from the Western Front Website -> $ Can20 -> thought that was reasonable but then I was hit with a $40 shipping fee (luckily I was able to cancel my order) I just wish they would have produced a digital version (CD) - you do get a code to obtain a digital download if you buy the LP but I don't really want to spend $60 on an LP

Many thanks - was only looking through that very book yesterday for anything on Max Roach (the Giuffre article was originally sourced from the Jan 62 FM/Stereo Guide)

oh no!! loved his stint with FZ will miss you

There's a copy of that picture in the Mingus Candid Mosaic booklet

Chapters on Max can be found in Kenny Mathieson's "Giant Steps - Bebop & The Creators Of Modern Jazz 1945-65" (1999) Ira Gilter's "Jazz Masters Of The 40's" (1966)

Check this amazing glass making documentary "Glas" by Bert Haanstra that won an Oscar in 1959 (best documentary - short subject) The soundtrack involved the Pim Jacobs Quintet & avant electronic music. http://kottke.org/13/07/glas I was intrigued watching their hands & mouths - much like playing instruments The prominence of the clarinet is entirely appropriate here
