yep!! ordered "Contrabasses" in my most recent order - have to agree with Stefan

thanks for the link to the covers - they really kick ass

I've been following his site recently missed out on the Brackeen/Cherry Rhythm X CD (currently high on my wants list) - went for under $30 - was too late & didn't get a chance to bid That disc was not a Fontana. was aware of that - Strata East

Currently for sale on ebay - way out of my price range!! ($70 a piece) but just love these covers!! (amongst my fave jazz LP art) http://www.ebay.com/sch/takarayama/m.html?item=251163256364&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Have these ever been domestically released?

Mike, many thanks for the interest & effort If unsure always "go to the source" Another Monk discography item that needs to be sorted is/are the Paris Olympia Concert(s) - I commenced a thread on this last year

totally agree - I find that discographical information can be initially erroneously entered then perpetuated through the years & from discography to discography look forward to your findings

Did TM record "Honeysuckle Rose" once or twice for Columbia There's a bit of confusion surrounding this track Version 1. Studio trio (Gales & Riley) version from March 2, 1965 -> this session was all solo material except for Honeysuckle... This title was released on the Columbia LP "Misterioso" (not had a US release on CD), a mixed bag of live/fake-live tracks According to Robin Kelley's book (pp 371 & 544) Teo Macero added an applause track & sourced it as live at the Village Gate - it was actually the studio version Version 2. Live (Jazz Workshop) Nov 3, 1964 - an incomplete version according to the Lord Discog (CO 85107) first released on the double LP "Always Know" in 79 This is supposed to run for about 10mins according to info I have; It wasn't released on the double Workshop CD from the early 2000's - wonder why? (non Monk material??) I don't have any Columbia copies of this title (vinyl or CD) There is a version on the triple Monk Columbia compilation from the early 2000's - is it an alternate or actually the released March 2, 1965 version (with or without applause) or the real "live" version from the JW Also, was this title really recorded at the JW or was it "faked/tweaked" too What version is on the euro CD release of Misterioso Any Monk scholars or others with access to these LPs/Cds out there who can help me out

Anyone have a Booker Little discography. I'm a completist on this one! Alan Saul's discography is very helpful (also a good Eric Dolphy discog) http://adale.org/Discographies/Booker.html

thanks for the link Interestingly another 10" I picked up was the first Martin Denny liberty release "Exotica" - again it contains the 10 titles that were released on the 12" in the US This 10" is listed in BSN - APB 1000 London (UK) series - it has the same catalogue number as its UK counterpart (HB-U1079) - the mono version was on a 10" while the stereo version was on a 12" I'm sure i've read somewhere that the stereo version was rerecorded at a later date hence the 12" stereo release - I don't think this would apply to the Chris Connor LP ie 10" mono & 12" stereo releases but who knows?? http://bsnpubs.com/london/londonamerican/1londonam1000.html

pretty close with Booker Little working my way through Eric Dolphy, Joe Harrriott (need more CD reissues), Hank Mobley

here's the cover & label of the Australian 10"

The solo Herbie Nichols recording is very interesting. would have pounced on that (any Herbie Nichols material) but it's a bit recent & not in the sale list

Leo did the same thing late last year I bought a truckload of CDs from him last time - probably do the same again this year trying out Simon Nabatov with my first order - any advice from fans out there

will stick with all the individual CD's

try grooves-inc (switzerland) I think they have them for 6.99 euros

David Many thanks for that really dig these tidbits of oral history that are shared in this site

I did find Ivan Santiago's site (google search) before I started this thread - sent him an email last week to which he replied on the weekend -> I'm sending him pics of the cover & label Thanks anyway I stand corrected as this must have been released as a 10" in the UK too - the serial # above is almost identical to the Aussie one ie LZ-NA 14036 (only cap A added - probably signifies Australia) this 10" The Lord discography mentions the UK LP (LZ-N 14036) - I mistakenly thought this was a 12" Has anyone ever seen a UK pressing of this 10" & was there a 12" UK version? I'll upload some pics in the next day or so

Had a chance to go through 10,000 LPs last week (mostly MOR music from the 40's, 50's & 60's - 78's, 45's, 10" & 12" LPs) Did find a small number of jazz gems One of the more interesting pieces was an Australian 10" LP (London label) of Chris Connor's 1st Bethlehem 12" release "This Is Chris" - it contains the 10 titles but the cover is slightly different from the US 12". AFAIK there were only 2 Connor Bethlehem 10" LPs (1001 & 1002) I can find no record (in any discographies) of a 10" version of this - the UK 12" release was also on London (almost identical serial # to this Aussie one too) - I don't think this was released in the UK as a 10". I think Australia continued to press 10" LPs for a few years after the US & UK ceased this format. BTW the SQ of this old disc (over 55 years old) is amazing Maybe I should have posted this in the Vinyl/Great finds section?

shocked!! - only in his early 60's though he did have a renal transplant a couple of years ago love his work but never got to see him RIP David S

sent an email to Jolien Plat <jolien@challenge.nl> a couple of days ago but have not yet received a reply Had dealt with Jolien at an earlier stage in this project

far out!!! over 1,100 kms/hr - wonder what his surface temperature rose to?

anyone else received the "paytime" email? - not me

Dusty Groove currently has the Steven Isoardi text "Dark Tree - Jazz & The Community Arts In LA" (California Uni Press/casebound) at a bargain basement price of $6.99 Also includes a CD packed with unreleased Tapscott related music Great read & worth it just for the disc alone

discs 4 & 5
