It´s a shame it is OOP, I thought Concorde is quite a modern label, not so obscure to get out of sight. This really should be re-issued in a legit manner.

I also have the Griff/Jaws 1975 stuff. Nice stuff, maybe Jaws is a bit too off the mike, and your beloved Mr. Montoliu , and I also was really Looking Forward hearing him in this surroundigs, is not so well recorded. But what can be heard is that on that last mega Long track "Funky Flutes" he really stretches out, fantastic ! And not to Forget Art Taylor, one of my favourite Drummers.

Wasn´t Carter Jefferson later with Elvin Jones. I think he´s also on the Elvin Jones "At Uncle Poe´s " from About 1981. A fantastic double CD also.....

very interesting !

in the morning as always: Turkish Coffee

me too, his trumpet work on "Cumbia" and "Three or Four Shades" is fantastic !

Yes I noticed this only with the Woody Shaw Albums. I have the first with the Group I saw myself (Steve Turré , Mulgrew Miller, Stafford James and Tony Reedus) and it´s also "Vol. 1"...…. really strange…...

But I Always hesitate to listen to stuff if I´m not sure it´s legit. As for the Giant´s with Blakey on drum (the regular Group) I think the Atlantic double Album is reprezentative, I´ve heard once about a 1972 record done in Switzerland, but never saw or heard it. But the Roy Haynes featuring stuff should have been recorded, indeed, but maybe during those days the organisator George Wein though Blakey is a bigger Name since he led his own Messengers...…., who knows……. If I want to listen to some Kind of this Music , Diz and Sonny Stitt playing vintage bop I listen to this one with Max Roach on drums. I would have liked to hear John Lewis on more tracks than just the two he is on (Blue´n Boogie, All the Things you Are). Not that I don´t love Hank Jones, and I never will say else than that Hank Jones is one of the most Wonderful pianists who ever lived, but I really associate John Lewis very much with the early days of bop, when he was in Dizzy´s Bigband and small Group....

It was done a short time before I saw him live in summer 1979 . We had a great record dealer in Vienna. He knew us, knew who was where, so he told me "you were at the Velden Festival and saw Ron Carter...…. here this his latest stuff". I was blessed I was led to good music having such great occasions to purchase all those fantastic albums and play music myself……. Here he has a stellar quartet…...just Incredible with Joe Henderson, Chick Corea and Tony Williams and the quartet augmented with horns, among them Jon Faddis, Urbie Green, Frank Wess...... And all the tunes a really great, and dig "Motherless Child" just Ron with the horns...……. And Sonny Rollins: Same Thing, was on the Festival schedule, and recorded this fantastic Album just a few weeks before. An Incredible great Encounter with Larry Corryell, who also was on the Festival. Those two Albums reflect the days when all those Living legends played and recorded so you could currently pick up what they did …...

Anyway, Be-Bop means not to stand still, to move the stuff further and further. Listen to the sets Bird did with Roy Haynes. That´s just Incredible and ahead of the time.

Great drumming, no question, I was lucky I saw Roy Haynes live. But here it´s not very representative for the Giants of Jazz, it seems to be a drum suite with the horns fillin in here and there. Is there more material of the whole set, with the mentioned tunes ?

One of my favourite BN live recordings. This is a fantastic set of music and also the tracks with Kenny Burrell sittin´in are superb. Right now, this here, also Round Midnight. Actually this was one of the first LPs I bought from my own pocket money.

Really a treasure from the last year, one of the great discoveries: Dizzy with Milt Jackson, James Moody, Hank Jones, Ray Brown and Philly Joe Jones, a really great set of live Music.

Kai Winding around the time I saw him life. This was done 1977 and I saw him life in September 1978. Such a great trombonist. Here this is a top Album. All tunes are great, I´d like to Mention the fantastic "Epistrophy" and "Surrey with the Fringe on Top". And of Course this. IMHO almost as good as the "Giants of Jazz".

I have Tom Perchard, "Lee Morgan" His Live and his music and culture"

indeed a fantastic playlist !

Yes. About the same lay out had this one, I think it was the first from that series that I purchased.

Those Verve double Albums with the paintings were great. That was in the late 70´s.

Dexter´s last Album for Columbia. Great Encounter with George Benson.

If I could keep only one of my Mobley Albums (and I have lot of them), I´d keep this one. It´s the best and the most representative Album he did, as I feel.

The title tune was the first jazz that appealed to me. I was a kid. Until then I had thought "jazz" is just something like Dixieland and it didn´t Appeal to me since it gave me the Impression of old comedy films or Donald Duck&CO. Then someone had a "Sampler" and when I heard the only "modern" tune on it "Milestones" I thought "wow" if that´s "jazz" it´s the greatest. And that´s how it was. Miles.....and Mingus were my heroes…..

Introducing Kenny Burrell is really a very very fine album.

Right now Turkish Coffee.

from me too: Happy Birthday !
