I remember the dog part from the recent Coltrane documentary.

Some more pics from the site above - their portrait of Bop City still seems to be in the making: Musicians Frank Butler, Armando Peraza and George Walker inside Bop City, early 1950s. Frank Jackson Collection Jimbo Edwards and Arthur Prysock at Bop City, early 1950s. Frank Jackson Collection A late night jam session at Bop City, mid 1950s. photo by Steve Jackson Jr. - Look at the names on the bass fiddle! Could this be Pony Poindexter and Teddy Edwards?

Congrats! Let's hear how it is after you have listened .... Now spinning a bunch of LPs - looks like I'll be in a vinyl mood for some days: Preparing for a workshop teaching Cuban conga de comparsa rhythms to a Frankfurt pecussion band. What a great encounter ..... This is great! Perfect demonstration of how black music developped in the Carribean to forms superficially similar to jazz. But they had the Carribean grooves the US producers didn't want when recording New Orleans bands. Or whatever ...

Howard McGhee's playing is just gorgeous on this one! Stitt has to play his best after him ...

This one is available on CD, in Elemental Music's Xanadu Master Series: But have a listen to it, first, if you can - it's the most "modern" of Jones' albums.

L to R: John Handy, Pony Poindexter, John Coltrane, Frank Fischer, at Bop City. https://www.harlemofthewestsf.com/gallery/#jp-carousel-396 Pony Poindexter and Leo Wight at Bop City

first LP with sides first issued on Prestige 78s

Now was this ever published?

It cost me 30 bucks, but I finally found a copy of the French CD reissue of Never Again with the bonus tracks.

Zutty Singleton is so great on this one! Some of the stuff he plays sounds like the royal Tutsi drums from Rwanda that ethnomusicologists recorded.

That was my first McDuff album - I don't understand why this never was reissued on CD ... now playing another very groovy album: ... and continuing with another neglected Scott album: Ron Carter and Jimmy Cobb!

The song "People" Patterson recorded is he tune by Jule Styne & Bob Merrill.

Right now: Yesterday:

Got the new double CD today - as expected it does not drop a syllable about the half dozen tracks recorded for MGM and Clef that are marked unissued in the label discographies. Nor does it mention the two takes that, according to Lord, were different on an EP issue (not unusual with Granz). But the alternates on the second disc appear by "courtesy of the Gaillard family", whatever that means - did they just give their approval or did they provide the source material? There is somebody credited for tape research, so they should have known and made a remark. Oh well. Verve is not Mosaic. No master numbers, personnel listings are absent, only part of the players are mentioned in the notes in passing. There were times when Verve handled this in a more professional manner. But some of the tracks on these discs are simply hilarious!

JazzMesengers still has some - get it while you can.

I've loved this song ever since I heard it for the first time, on a Ray Bryant LP.
