  1. The accompanying CDs with music samples to these two books:
  2. Well said. What I liked back then when it was new I may not like that much any more now. But that would be another thread.
  3. Another Jeff Palmer fan here on the board? Now playing:
  4. She was so good and facile it is almost frightening!
  5. Mouth watering photo on facebook.
  6. Pony Poindexter appears in a scene from a German B-movie about the life of a groupie. He often performed in that club in Berlin, Manfred Burzlaff is the pianist. It was filmed in 1970. AFAIK.
  7. Gerald Wilson day! Played a lot of single tracks this afternoon from these releases:
  8. That one was his debut as a leader. Make sure to get the complete version:
  9. Clifford Jordan, Live At Ethell's (Mapleshade, recorded 1987)
  10. Billy Pierce, William The Conqueror (Sunnyside) Tony Williams, Civilization (Blue Note) Eddie Harris & Ellis Marsalis, Homecoming (Spindletop)
  11. Fully agreed. On all counts.
  12. Beautiful! I love Schobert's music more than Haydn or Mozart (who loved Schobert's pieces, much to his father's dismay, as Schobert was a competitor to Leopold Mozart's old friend from Augsburg, Johann Gottfried Eckard). Chamber music centered around the keyboard, with some lovely slow movements, and melodically superb menuets.
  13. I pay $ 9.95 a month for access to Lord's database. The starting point definitely was Bruyninckx' disco. Considering the sheer number of jazz records, errors and omissions are inevitable. He would have to employ a whole staff of discographers to keep it updated, He must have volunteers, but there is no information on his site as to how this works. He used some information from my discos; as long as he cites the source it is okay. If you want more detailed infor including composers etc, you will have to look for better sources, anyway. If you send him updates you should get at least a discount.
  14. Track 1: Northern Scandinavia, or inspired by choirs from this area? Track 2: Should be a Diz big band live track, with Chano Pozo? From 1948 then. Big Nick? Oop-Pap-A-Da. Wild. Track 3: Love it. No idea who it is, but I love this kind of singing. Track 4: Good, but not my thing. Nice guitarist. But the rhythm is boring. Track 5: I liked that kind of music when it was new, but in retrospect the rhythms/grooves have not aged well. In that type of music, Vince Montana should be the vibes player. Track 6: Girl Talk. Great way to play that tune. I'm curious who conceived that arrangement. California scene, I'd say. They should have given the bass player some room for variations. Track 7: Nice interlude. More, please. Track 8. No idea. Again: More, please. re # 2: There are two live recordings from the 1948 European tour with that tune, Stockholm and Paris. Don't have the time to spin the LPs.
  15. Check out her YouTube channel, Cembalino - she is an excellent player. This morning, before going to work: Claudio Astronio playing William Babell's arrangements of Händel opera tunes - great stuff, when played by a sympathetic soul with capable hands, which is the case here.
