ID tags? Left them in there? Re-use the tracks? I don't follow you at all (I didn't receive anything in my package but the discs)... ===== Also, is there going to be another thread for disc 2, or...? Just curious- I haven't even managed to spin it yet. Oh, and lest I forget- THANKS for the discs!! I may not have dug everything on disc 1, but you really picked out some interesting and challenging music.

First impressions... 1. Whew- that’s fast. Actually, that’s too fast, because it makes amateur musicians like me want to take up photography... or something. But seriously, can a tune like this be played too fast? I mean, would the impact be any better, the appreciation level, the extent to which the tune can be absorbed and enjoyed be any greater if they had slowed it down just a tad? I’m not even sure what my opinion is, but damn that was fast. Any faster and you’d begin to enter freakshow territory. Okay, that’s a very famous bebop tune, VERY famous... annnnnnd... I’ll tell you what it is later. Wait. I’m gonna say “be-bop”, which I think was by Dizzy. As for who this is, I just don’t know. I don’t often hear vibe chops like this. I don’t think I’ve got any vibe recordings of this that go at this tempo (I think I have it by Milt, but beyond that I’m blanking). 2. Monk tune...? ...not Monk on piano. Not one of my favorite Monk tunes. 3. Another Monk tune- Aks me now (I know it’s “Ask”, but I like the sound of “Aks”). Bass clarinet? Nice trumpet obligatto and interesting percussion sounds... what is that? This is pretty cool. 4. Nmcot. Just not much I can latch onto or comment on. I’m not too keen on pure percussion. 5. A headless backward African nation. I admire the skill level here for sure, even if much of the soloing is not really to my taste. Excellent players, though! Gotta be a couple of well-known guys blowin’ here... 6. Nice tune! I’ve never heard this before. I dig the organist’s comping. Very tasty, very sensitive. The guitarist’s touch in the opening bars reminded me of Joe Pass (it’s not Joe, of course, I just hear an influence in the approach/attack on the guitar at times). Kind of a weird tone, IMO... I really like the musicianship, though. I wonder if this could be Bill Frisell... I don’t own any of his recordings, but I know he’s experimented with different styles and sounds (and I know he’s good). Very nice track- I’ll have to come back to this and see if anything else pops into my head. 7. Not my thing, but it’s pleasant, IMO. 8. This doesn’t sound at all familiar either. Interesting contrast between a fairly straightforward/mainstream rhythm background and a more adventurous approach to melody and soloing. I don’t like it a whole lot, but it is intriguing, and again, I admire the skill level 100% 9. This one is messin’ with me. I have the majority of Kenny Burrell’s recordings, but this (again) does not sound like something I’ve ever heard before. The tune sounds familiar, though. Gotta come back to this one... 10. I liked the beginning of this a lot (the first minute), and then I thought it went downhill somewhat. It started out like it was going to be a nice moody jazz ballad, and then a bit of a rock element kicked in. The guitarist doesn’t impress me much, and the tone of the vibes goes bad for me at times. I’d like to hear this tune played by a different group, I guess. 11. Not crazy about the head, but the solos were pleasant. Overall, not really something that I want to hear again. 12. Certainly well played, but nothing much that holds my interest. 13. Recognized this immediately (at least the player and the tune... not sure if this is Columbia or Riverside...). I really enjoy listening to him play other people’s compositions in addition to his own. This isn’t a favorite standard of mine, but this is one of my favorite versions of it. 14. Okay, even I can see the connection between this track and the last track. I don’t recognize this singer. Overall the performance and the arrangement don’t move me a great deal. Good, though. I’m trying to figure out how old this might be. It doesn’t sound too new, but not too old either. 15. Nice ensemble sound and arrangement. Unfamiliar to me again. Nice soulful tenor... but I can’t put my finger on who this is yet... 16. Well, the name of the tune is mentioned three times, so that helps. I don’t own this version (the only organ version of this I have is by Mel Rhyne).

Lemme make it up to you...

Heh heh... I uh... musta missed the small print in the Adderley booklet. touche- we're even. B-)

I have these listed as early February, but not the 6th... Anyway, I just joined this thread, so what do I know... maybe it's acceptable to fudge a bit...?

I was just looking at the Mosaic site, and FWIW, I noticed a couple of errors. First, on the page linked above, the last audio clip ("Play the thing") is labeled as being by Jacquet & Burrell, but the discography shows it as one of the Marlowe Morris tracks. I couldn't get the audio sample to play, but either way, something's wrong there. Also, on the discography page, they list the tune "How Could You" as being composed by Kenny Burrell. Actually, I think it has been established (might have been here on the board- I'll have to do a search) that the tune is actually "Sultry Serenade", which was a feature for Tyree Glenn with Ellington in the 1940's. "How Could You Do A Thing Like That To Me" may have been a later version of "S.S.", after the addition of lyrics. I believe it is credited to Glenn.

Django died in 1953. I know when Django died. I'd recommend actually watching the videos.

I had a feeling that's who it was. I never owned a Butterfield album... never was really attracted by their sound. I actually prefer Bishop to Bloomfield (who really sounded off to me on this track), and I liked Elvin better in his post- straight ahead blues years. Saw him at a small club in the early 70's- great fun was had by all. It took me awhile to recognize Herb, and then I went DUH when I realized that was Willie. Well, at least I mentioned Junior as a possibility. He's definitely a monster. I haven't seen/heard about him for awhile. I recall seeing him on some late-night TV show years ago, and wondered why he wasn't a household name. I don't think I've ever heard the Garland version...!

It also startled me how good the image quality is on "J'attendrai" and "La partie de poker". Amazing. BTW, I opened each of those in separate windows so I could watch the whole sequence ("La partie de poker" first). I'd like to know who the musicians are on the "Minor Swing" video (anybody know when that one would date to? late 50's?).

I think you misspelled her first name (maybe that's why you had trouble finding info). http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:H8P3h...&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

As I told Joe when he sent me these links, I was amazed to see this much footage of Django and the Hot Club. The first two videos at the top of the page (first link above) are actually a matched pair (the second and shorter one actually was the lead-in to the first (longer) one. Some of the others are pretty interesting as well. At any rate, this was a huge treat. Thanks again Joe.

I saw the Herman band at Disneyland (outdoors), circa early 70's. As I recall, they were hardly elevated at all (I assume there was a stage, but it must have been quite low). There were few (or no) seats, and there were crowds of people standing for the whole show. I hardly saw anything from where I was, but I remember the big sound they produced. I saw Basie (with Sarah) in 1981 at a place called The Circle Star Theater (rotating stage) in Redwood City, CA. We were only a few rows from the front. Very memorable...

We also did this topic a couple of months ago: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=13974

Brad, it looks like you missed this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=597 I'll PM you.

Rather than post Eddie's mailing addresses here on the board (which just seems a bit indiscreet to me), I'm just encouraging people to PM me if they're serious about buying from Eddie (or just writing him a nice note, which I would also recommend ).

HAH! A mini LP from a Japanese vendor for $22.95!?! Oh, man... you expect me to believe that? Okay, I stand corrected.

Pete does a nice radio show on KUSP (Santa Cruz), which I catch occasionally, and he also guests on KCSM sometimes. I contacted him a few years ago and asked him to post on the BNBB a couple of times (some organ-related mysteries needed solving, as I recall). He did, but never really found time to post there other than that.

I was startled today (Sunday) to find BET airing the film about Art Pepper, "Notes From A Jazz Survivor". I only caught the latter part of it, but I had never seen any of it before. I'm not a real big Pepper fan, but anybody who is should watch for this.

B-)

... the "greeetz" clued me in right away, and this list only confirmed who we're dealing with here. B-) Am I the only one who "gets it"?... Or do I not get it? I assumed that our new member wasn't exactly "new".

Yeah, I know they don't carry everything- I meant in general. As far as mini LP's, you mean you'd rather order from Japan at $30+ (?) for a mini LP even if you could get the same title for $20 in a jewel case? Just curious...
