If it is true, it's something to hate Miles for.

The Herreweghe recording is great, but listen to this one - stunning sound that places the listener right in fornt of the ensemble, and incredibly moving:

That's what I wanted to point out. Even drummers have that "problem", that's why most add some melody instrument or vocals to outline the structure of a piece. Few drummers / percussionist have enough sense of form to transport that without melody isntruments and without slipping into displaying technical chops. A great example for sense of form with drums only are Baby Dodds' 1940's drum solos. I will think of more examples.

Strictly progessional interest - I have to audition this for the Cal Tjader Discography.

I thought of him, too. I'd recommend Lafcadio Hearn - his stories Youma and Chita and the travelogues from the Carribean.

It was an original recording for the small French Harmonic label. He also made a Debussy disc for them on the same piano. Ask the label if they still have copies: https://harmonicclassics.com - click on "inquiry" beneath the album cover.

One of my favourites is this Badura-Skoda recording on a one hundred year old Bösendorfer grand piano that sounds absolutely beautiful. He played that instrument as a boy and was able to acquire it from the owner's legacy. You can hear how much he loves that piano.

So there's still hope for you .....

Yes, happy birthday, live long and thanks for this place!

I'd rather count on our friends in Barcelona, who reissued the jam sessions years ago see https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/cachao-albums/5080-descargas-the-havana-sessions-2-cd-set.html -, and just annoinced this:

You're talkin' about "Drums Around The Corner"? I think it's a general problem of people having problems of relating to music without melody instruments. TTK, how many of your drum albums have absolutely no melody, no vocals? Just curious.

It is hard for any non-drummer or non-percussionist to "understand" these discs. It's a simple as that.

That's Jan Persson, well-known Danish phtographer in Eurpean jazz circles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Persson http://www.janperssoncollection.dk

During the last few days until right now:

Saw him with Rollins, too, and have a few of his CDs, which are excellent. Who's playing with him on that video?

Same here, saving funds for replacing my prosthesis. Implants and crowns are impossible, my jawbones are too thin. One grand, still.

This is what Lord says: Frank "Fat Man" Humphries (tp) Herbie Nichols (p) others unknown. c. 1950 G756 Birmingham bounce Abbey 3016 G757 Doby at the bat -

I've read the same was told by trombonist Melba Liston. Stories like these killed my naive belief jazz musicians might be better humans.

Same here. See my pm. Dan, do you have access to the Tom Lord Discography? As jazztrain said, noting with France listed there was recorded in Europe.

Why not ask Maupin himself? There's a contact page on his website. http://benniemaupinmusic.com
