... and now my own CDR compilation of Tjader's early sessions for Galaxy and Savoy, including:

Sad news. He was very friendly when I e-mailed him for details about some Melvin Rhyne recording dates. I wonder what will become of the Criss Cross label. R.I.P.

Thanks for mentioning this - downloaded a sample on my Kindle.

What a tragic incident! My thoughts are with the surviving family members.

As I posted above, the discography is done, as is the glossary that i compiled, and, of couse Ducan's text body. The index lists musicians and other people of importance (producers, agents, family members etc.), festivals and clubs, studios, album names. Ten pages in the first edition. The page numbers from the first edition must be checked and new numbers added from new pages in the text. Duncan checks the people that offered their help in chronological order, first is someone his agent found, the two board members are next. I will keep you updated.

Turns out I have this, but need to listen to it again.

Right now we have three people offering their services, who will be checked in chronological order. I will post here when anything has been decided.

R.I.P. He will be remembered.

LA ZERBETTA Arneis 2018 The new vintage is very fresh, light, with the special aroma of the Arneis grape from the Piemonte region.

Thanks all - right now we have three people on the list, one that Duncan's agent found, and two who pm'd me through this forum. There is a deadline, but I don't know the exact date. My part, the discography and the glossary, is done. I will keep you updated. Duh - Himmellreich is only two miles from where we live, and we never noticed. It takes chewy to find a "Strausswirtschaft" (a restaurant in the open from April to October) within walking distance from our home. They're closed for the winter season, but I promise we will take a walk there in spring, although schnitzel is not part of my weekly diet. Chewy, if you ever get to Germany, I will take you there!

Anyone interested will get this information from the author. Two pms I received have been passed on. There is an index from the first edition which would have to be updated, page numbers checked for changes; additions to the text indexed.

J. S. Bach/Orgelbuchlein Ensemble Mare Nostrum, direction Andrea De Carlo http://www.marecordings.com/main/product_info.php?cPath=47&products_id=137&osCsid=hr9e4asg8cn4ibja64h7klue11 Now playing Bach's organ trio sonatas by George Baker - can't find a pic.

Stanley Cowell's Illusion Suite and Bennie Maupin's The Jewel In The Lotus may be my all time favourite ECM albums.

As some of you might know I am involved in S. Duncan Reid's biography on Cal Tjader. He needs someone to update the index for the 2nd edition which scheduled for publication next spring. His publisher, McFarland, requests their authors to do this themselves, but due to all kinds of circumstances and commitments neither Duncan nor me or the person who did it for the first edition can take care of this at the moment. We need a reliable and trustworthy person to do this job - last time the payment was $ 18.00 per hour. You get the text and a copy of the index of the first edition which needs to be updated. Please pm me if interested, or if you know someone that might be, and I will get you in touch with the author. Thanks for your interest.

This CD reissue on él / Cherry Red combines the above LP with Tjader's second Verve LP from the January 1962 Blackhawk recordings. Both bands are in fine form, nice Paul Horn solos on the first. Tjader is in excellent form on the live tracks. Recommended.

Listening to Grits And Gravy right now. But the combination of that pop/mood music material with the Byard/Davis/Dawson tracks is odd. Had to correct minor details in my listing above - sorry for the mistakes. Typed at night .....

Very nice! I'd never attempt playing along with Grady - he was so great! Makes me think I should get me a copy of that album.

I love Clare Fischer's organ playing on Cal Tjader's Sona Libre (half organ, half piano, though): There was a CD reissue in the 1980's. This Revelation solo LP has Fischer swinging his ass off on a Yamaha organ: I second the recommendation of the quartet LP with Gary Foster - the two were a great pairing!

Me too - Kloss could play and held his own in such fast company. Six or seven CDs, depending on the lenghth of the unissued tracks - if they still exist.

Chick Corea, Pat Martino, Dave Holland, Jack deJohnette (5 issued tracks) CD reissues: Prestige PRCD-24268-2 - About Time - 7442 & 7469 Prestige PRCD-24293-2 - First Class - 7486 & 7520 (includes 2 unissued tracks) Prestige PRCD-24217-2 - Sky Shadows / In The Land Od The Giants - 7594 & 7262 Prestige PRCD-24125-2 - Eric Kloss & The Rhythm Section - 7689 & 7793 Only two of the 21 unissued tracks were included in one of those twofer CDs. Two albums were not reissued on CD. All that would have made a great box set!

Me, too
