  1. Maybe he was never the same again after the Reeperbahn experience, and that's why the band split up ?
  2. BTW - anybody interested in the new edition should get one fast! The author informed me that the first printing was only 150 copies ........
  3. The notes on the ORF site says only one concert was recorded. Did you notice Sam Woodyard's bass drum behind Eugene Wright? Perhaps they were sharing the bill with the Duke, and that's all there is.
  4. The owner who left it at the airport was careless, and the people who dumped it ......
  5. I will get me a copy, on vinyl if there is no CD. I always wished for a trio session without Desmond. You can order from the ORF shop: https://shop.orf.at/de/oe3/2659/dave-brubeck?number=2018627
  6. The Mingus Debut box omitted the solo tracks (as Mingus is not heard on them), had just the four trio tracks, but included two alternates and one previously unissued track plus an alternate. This and the Thad Jones session made the same day with the Dennis/Mingus/Roach trio seem to be the pianist's only recordings.

  7. R.I.P. One of my favourite pianists - I have three different copies/editions of one of his albums: Such sad news ........
  8. Today: Fine playing from Dennerlein, her drummer Robert Ikiz, and saxist/flutist Magnus Lindgren.
  9. Pipoli Bianco Greco / Fiano - Basilicata IGP
  10. R.I.P. Very sorry to hear this. The Clayton-Hamilton band was real good. Must have some Clayton Brothers album somewhere.
  11. Currently on route 66.
  12. Sent him a pm and received a prompt answer - his work schedule kept him from posting. He's okay.
  13. So true, and probably applies to many of us, myself included.
  14. " All in all, maybe Armstrong did “sell out”. But in doing so he secured his place in history. Roy Eldridge, “Hot Lips” Page, Henry “Red” Allen, Rex Stewart: the 20th century had plenty of trumpet gods, but they’re sadly forgotten to most. " Armstrong may be the best known jazz jusician ever, even in the remotest countryside, here in Germany, due to his "selling out". They don't know Ellington, or Miles, or you name who, but they know Satchmo.
  15. Sorry to be late - hope it was a good one. Stay safe!
  16. Hi TTK, you're okay? Please give a sign of life!

    Best, Mike

  17. Strange - now the cover is displayed. Did you change the link?
  18. An amplified string quartet - not your average string section treatment ....
  19. A local saxist I played with also plays a curved soprano.
