Yeah, I never heard that he was anything other than Ronnie Scott, musician (a really good one), club owner, funny guy, played on a Beatles record, maybe liked to get high, hardly "mysterious", right?
Which Beatles record?

Don't play this unless you have medical help near at hand.
Annie Ross sings King Crimson!!!!!!
Rick Laird and Dave MacRae (Matching Mole, Nucleus etc) aboard!
Ross was clearly way ahead of Andrew Lloyd-Webber.
Was she drunk when she recorded this? There is no other possible explanation.

Maybe just buy clothing or physical media
I started looking, not a whole lot there.

Someone asked and they are claiming no one was buying the downloads and it was costing them too much, I don't buy it.
Any suggestions on what I can do with my $240 credit between now and December?

How many labels out there that are still active and older than Blue Note?

Iiiiiiiii'm getting clowoser to my howwwwwwme! I actually enjoy their Terry Knight-produced stuff. Mind you, I'm not saying it's good, but it hits a spot for me. Don Brewer singing killed the deal for me, as did the open misogyny of "We're An American Band".
That song is the pits.

Just picked up this release.
Junior Cook really does shine, in particular because he picks up the bulk of the soloing. My ears only hear Woody Shaw on 3 tracks: 1 and 3 on CD1, and 2 on CD2.
He was a full-fledged member, not an add-on for this gig. The liner notes do not address this. Maybe he was ill that night? I can understand one or two features for Junior but not 4 out of 7 tracks.

Yeah, too little too late. Same thing with Zappa doing them.
In real time, I noticed a small but noticeable decrease in musicality from, say, Cream to Zep, and by the time Grand Funk came out of the musical rectum, the kids were NOT all right, the kids were more than willing to swallow that turd whole, over and over again.
I moved on with no regrets - and with no hesitancy. One of the better life choices I've made (not that there were all that many...).
Far worse bands came along after GFR. You dodged a bullet. Foreigner springs to mind...

I find it interesting that Blue Note is OLDER than Capitol.

It seems they have officially called it a day. Last gig was in Tokyo. It was a great run!

I have a $240 credit to spend. Group gift...

My new theory is that the Goerge Wein Estate made a fuss. Lucky I grabbed most of the good stuff years ago.

Copyrights don't tell me much, but Stern recorded it in 1998 on one of her records (with some sort of vocal choir), whereas Bonner never recorded it again, I lean towards Stern as composer. Bonner may have told Lacy that he was the composer, I assume they knew each other,

PC's last date shown in Tom Lord is a Wynton Kelly trio date on 8/4/68. He played Left Bank with Blue Mitchell on 9/15/68. The rest of the band was Sonny Red, Bobby Timmons and Lennie McBrowne. He died on 1/4/69.
Based on a secret list I have, a tape existed 20 years ago. Not sure if John Fowler still has it, but PC's very last recording may still be out there and I am sure it is better than the Wynton Kelly date. Not sexy enough for Zev Feldman, I guess.
Bertrand.
PS: It is also one of the last Bobby Timmons dates. He was at Left Bank with Dexter Gordon on 5/4/69, and that seems to be his last recording.

Trust, but verify — gotcha.
Well, I am not sure what I may find. Possibly nothing. Unless proven otherwise, the composer is Stern because she was listed on the LP. The odds that Lacy is confused because Bonner is on the record are fairly high.

I always assume that photo was taken in suburban Englewood Cliff's on a street somewhere near Rudy's studio.
The Tom Lord discography list 354 separate recording sessions (not individual LPs) for Chambers. The vast majority of them -- more than 300 -- come between 1954 and the end of 1962. There are only 45 or so listings between 1962 and November 1968. He died in January 1969. The cumulative impact of drugs (early) and alcohol (later) caught up to him and his body gave out. He died of tuberculous. He was 33.
PC played at Left Bank after the last date listed in Lord. If that was recorded, it would be his last date. I will dig up details later.

Konitz and Stern were actually an item for a while, per Konitz.
I met her once or twice in DC, and I am Facebook friends with her. I could message her asking how Woody came to record her piece. I will leave out the Lacy/Bonner bit.
I can also check copyrights later.

Frank Haynes is awesome. I wish more was known about him. I have never even seen a photo.
-
It is on Woody Shaw's Love Dance. Credited to Peggy Stern there, but Frank Lacy recorded it recently and says it is by Joe Bonner, who plays on Love Dance.
Where else did Woody record it?

I have several Art Blakey shows, some which aren't listed on the website. Pardon the unidentified titles, but at the time I got these CDRs, they had limited or no playlists and I didn't always have time to find the titles. Some of them may be updated with the discs downstairs, I will check in the next few days.
I may have a copy of the March 18, 1981 recording at the Roundhouse, London.
The info that I have is London without a specific date or venue.

It seems that Wolfgang's Vault is not offering downloads for sale anymore? What is going on? I got a lot of what I wanted over the years, but I was given a gift certificate for Christmas by a bunch of DC Jazz artists and I have a huge credit I need to use...

Bonus tracks I would like to hear are the other cuts that were played at Left Bank and presumably recorded. I wonder who has the complete set of tapes - the Left Bank members (John Fowler) or Barney Fields?

Ronnie also had an unholy alliance with Doug and Dinsdale Piranha which proved to be his undoing.
