Please give us a picture of the autographs on the back, too! So we will get even more jealous.

Aretha Franklin live at Salle Wagram, Paris, 1977, with orchestra under the direction of H.B. Barnum - as seen on Stingray DJazz, a broadcaster from the Netherlands, so it seems, now offered by our TV/Internet provider. She works hard to make sure she earns a place among the great female entertainers/singers between jazz and soul. But she's not relaxed while doing so.

I would bet that they will offer it. I am waiting, too.

Verve includes the Chess files, so basically yes.

Yes it is, but .... what I said. But I can see what you like about it

Listen to samples and look where they are coming from - if they are from the Yurpeeans, watch out! These are the reissues I was talking about: I have one set from the label of the last two boxes (Enlightenment - Ramsey Lewis) that really sounds inferior.

Just pulled out this reissue twofer and listened - nice, but not overwhelming. There are more imaginative conga players than Montego Joe. Milford Graves plays some deep stuff in his solos. The role model definitely is Mongo*s band ....

Same with my used LPs I once bought i Paris. Loved and played and played and played again. The Mosaic sounds great, except for the first album. Their source was a Japanese needle drop - my vintage US LP copy sounds much better.

Can't grab his book right now. My basement is a mess due to some repair work etc.

You never know. Some are cloning other reissues like the Mosaic, some are needle drops. In this case I would clearly recommend the Mosaic. I never regretted buying it. More than 20 previously unissued tracks that so far have not been cloned, and a more complete picture of the trio, e.g. a few Fournier solos. A real big lot of excellent music!

There are some Spanish reissues doing just that ....

ARGO LP667 was from the same session.

A friend of mine used to say that one of the best aspects of the modern piano is that you cannot produce a vibrato on it!

I have his conga instruction book in the basement. Will dig it up tomorrow and lokk for bio.

This swings so much!

That is a smokin' hot record. IIRC there was a bootleg on some Italian label with the remaining tracks.

Today's batch while dusting bookshelves:

Would you like a sexy topless pic?

Just found and ordered a copy.
