Has anybody here ever heard this? I'm curious .......

Sunday morning with Julius Watkins, one of my favourite musicians:

This afternoon:

Two extraordinary CDs of two great sounding 17th century harpsichords.

As you are living in France, ordering from JazzMessengers might be the better option: https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/72209/count-basie/classic-1936-1947-basie-and-young-studio-sessions

One of the two Simone albums stilll missing in my collection. Interestingly, some of the first French issues on LP had "Fodder On My Wings" on the cover, but "Fodder In Her Wings" on the labels.

I will pm you. Thanks for the offer.

I never really felt the urge to get me a copy as I have all of it on single CD reissues, except for the Dicky Wells session and the newly found alternates. No this catches me at a very bad moment, financially. Looks like I have to pass. Maybe some good soul will make me a CDR with the few tracks I don't have ...

I remember her name on this board, a real fan. Sad story, way too young. R.I.P.

Looks like the whole Riverside LP is on YouTube, in single tracks. He recorded a few singles as early as 1949, some with Ed Wiles or under his leadership. The two recorded a whole LP for Atlantic, but only one single was released.

Yes, but that is the only way to slow down the spreading of the virus, as you can carry it without having symptoms. It makes sense. My wife and I both work with handicapped and/or old people, and they are the most endangered. We keep a distance, wash hands, and limit our social contacts to a minimum. No reason to panic, just discipline yourselves and stay cool. We bought some basic food and stuff to get over the next weeks in case of quarantene. but not as crazy as other people.

I was glad when it finally was reissued on CD. Excellent album. Great singer, great band.

JazzMessengers still have it listed.

I listened to this again on sunday. Beautiful music. I should have kept the LP just for the cover .....

I think you're right ...... R.I.P., Mr. Smith.

The end of an era, in its own way. R.I.P.

I was shocked to read this. The Darmstadt Jazz Institute sent an e-mail to announce this - they had scheduled her for an appearance later this year, so it must have surprised everybody. I never saw her perform, but what I heard on the radio was very good. R.I.P., and sincere condolences to her husband.
