A Horizontal Search, by Kevin Sun Here's an example: Good work, interestig commentaries.

I was afraid so .....

Found a like new copy on amazon for five bucks and ordered - I love Baby Dodds!

I will keep you updated.

My instinct was good to get a copy of the Turrentine during the last Mosaic sale ....

I love that photo of a young Jo Jones ! There was a reissue earlier this year of the Jazz Odyssey material (or some of it) on Frémeaux:

I'm really glad I got those two EmArcy twofers back then,at Extraplatte in Vienna (does that shop still exist?). He left an impressive legacy and was an excellent player. R.I.P.

It's a great album, for sure. The last track (one of the bonusses), Giant Steps, is from Mickey Tucker's Triplicity LP on Xanadu, with Jimmy Ponder, Gene Perla,and Eddie Gladden.

Have the Reveleation issue of this for a long time, but finally got me a copy of the recent German Sonorama reissue. Clare Fischer was delighted by this, and I think his ideas about woodwind accompaniment of bossa nova tunes might have been influenced or at least affirmed by Luit de Andrade's creative use of two bassoons and a flute or clarinet on this album.

Infos should be here soon.

The second edition of S. Duncan Reid's book on Cal Tjader is approaching, with added content, including some photos and cover pics. Duncan just received permission from the Concord Music Group to use the cover of the Tjader Plays Mambo album. There were different editions with different photos from the same session with a dancer. Anyone with copies of any of these EPs/10-inch LPs/12 inch LPs in good condition is kindly asked for high resolution photos or scans suitable for reproduction . although my Tjader collection is numerous I do not have all of these issues. Here are some low resolution samples from discogs and other sites:

Up again - can some good hearted soul with good ears please listen and help giving Pony Poindexter his solos back?

Re-read an article about label vaults a few days ago, and so was reminded of the fire in the MGM vaults. Most of the older MGM sources were destroyed, it says, but most of the master tapes were saved, so the unissued MGM tracks of Slim Gaillard and others are probably lost forever.

I have the MJQ, but now have to get me a copy of the Jamal box fast

I certainly do! The last bonus track, Giant Steps, however, is from Mickey Tucker's Xanadu LP Triplicity, with Jimmy Ponder, Gene Perla, an Eddie Gladden.

Full agreement - I learned that conga drums intro by Bill Summers not for note, and still know it by heart! Now playing:

I hear ya - or rather right now I'm hearing Brother James Moody preaching ...

Schifrin plays a long, wild solo on the first track on Samba para dos - from his large scale symphonic and orchestral works you'd never think he was in for such abundance.

So much for some organissimo forum members's rites of passage and the art of derailing a well meant thread. Not every new member is inclined to understand that special humor some cultivate here ...

... and a hilarious album. Better than one might think, the Sisters were right down on it, great sidemen including Herbie Hancock, and Gaylord Birch laying down the funkiest grooves on the planet. Now playing some Hip Hop which I bought for a buck because Rodney Kendrick is the mastermind here.

JazzMessengers has the BeeHive box set back in stock! No idea how many copies, though ... https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/70151/various-artists/the-complete-bee-hive-sessions

MONSIEUR JEAN PAUL 2017 Pays de l'Hérault, a cuvée from Carignan, Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault grapes by Les Vins de Saint Saturnin

The Lord disco says part of the tracks is with an unidentified studio orchestra, the remainder with a Shelly Manne Quartet.
