AFAIK there is the option of having the group only open to accepted members, which was what I had in mind. I thought of a situation a while back when the forum was down for some reason and I was glad to have a few people's e-mail adresses to find out what was happening. By no means I want to draw activity away from here. I got the idea in the first place because many board members already are on facebook and it would be nice to have them somehow connected, as their forum names and facebook identities are not always the same.

As there is quite a number of froum members on facebook I thought about opening a group open only for forum members to have a medium of communication in case of shutdowns etc. What do you think? I`d start a poll but can't find the option ...

45`s are almost always neglected or omitted in jazz discographies - Lord doesn't list this one. My experience is one must be careful and listen and compare: sometimes the 45 have simply edited or faded out versions, but there are many with an entirely different take of a shortened arrangement. You are making me curious. What is your source for these pics?

This afternoon:

Giving this another try - but somehow this trio never catches me as much as the one with Crosby and Fournier ....

Pirated from the sexiest album covers thread:

It was only last month that I learned about her death of cancer at the age of 59 in September, 2019. I'm still in a state of shock about this. One of my favourite singers.

Got this today. I like Teddy Edwards her much more than on any other album I have heard him play. Will look for more from this year. And just as I asked myself if there were more records with Billy Higgins in an organ combo (after hearing him on Shirley Scott's Strata East album) - well, here 'tis!

Ask Joe Conzo - he seems to be the mind behind those two sets as well as the Quatro set.

Slowly making my way through the discographical mess. But it will take time ..... The two RCA boxes are by no means complete, omitting alternates, and some rarities like the "outtake" TTK mentioned, the four tracks with Charlene Bartley, and the Abbe Lane LP Puente accompanied. Correlating the track lists with the personnel data from Box 2 equals a mathematical riddle with several unknowns and equations. Even the two Bear Family CDs have some minor typos, although they are the best, as far as discographical documentation is concerned.

I bought a lot of Black Jazz LPs back then, still have most of them, including all four of the Carn family. Excellent music.
