Nice to see this will include the MGM sides, too .... were these associated with Granz? Some were reissued on Verve Gaillard LPs. That said, I count 20 MGM Gaillard tracks in the Lord disco - four of them unissued. that makes the 16 to be included in this new issue. I wonder about the discographical details.

That's what I would have recommended ..... if their construction allows them to be flipped.

Thanks for posting this - I had given up on this, but I am delighted and pre-ordered.

My LP shelves are made by Lundia (the company IKEA copied their shelf system Ivar from). I have them for 35 years now, fully loaded, one foot two inches deep, two feet 8 inches wide, and no warping whatsoever. Solid spruce, a little more than half an inch thick. No support. There are books on the selves, too, which are even heavier. If the wood is selected with some care, there should be no warping. My girlfriend at the time alerted me to them. It can be assembled without drilling or screws (except for securing them with a wall attachment), can be taken apart and mounted differently in a room with different dimensions. When I moved the last time I took a list of all the parts I had and a sketch of the living room to the dealer, and he sat down with me and in one and a half hour we had a new design using all the parts and a minimum of extra shelves to be ordered. No idea if they have US distribution, but there should be something similar.

R.I.P. - he really had it down. Spinning some of his albums right now.

Thanks for that info - I will have to add Collins to the personnel of that session in which Tjader played drums. The second revised edition of S. Duncan Reid's Tjader bio with my disco is coming up sooner than we thought.

Inspired by Larry Kart's thread on Dick Collins.

Cal Tjader engaged the Herman trumpet section with Dick Collins for a 1954 session, the first ever that Fantasy recorded in stereo, it is part of "Tjader Plays Mambo". However the trumpets do not solo. Dick and his brother Bob both were members of Dave Brubeck's Octet which Tjader joined in 1948; trombonist Bob and Tjader were close friends and shared a sailboat. Will have a look for those RCA albums.

Just sent sixty bucks, if you need more, just let me know. Looking forward to connecting.

Is it still $ 60 including shipping to Germany? I will finally get my long awaited tax refund next week ....

While searching for exact dates of the Monterey Jazz Festival I stepped over this and after having a look at its contents, immediately odered a copy from amazon. Magnificent book, Jim Marshall's photos are fantastic! At merely $ 30 it's a steal. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1909526320/ref=s9_acsd_simh_bw_cr_x__a_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=3YBAYXD5DJXFCAJQ4CHW&pf_rd_r=3YBAYXD5DJXFCAJQ4CHW&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=fe185ec9-c8f5-44c0-897e-4c0bde93268c&pf_rd_p=fe185ec9-c8f5-44c0-897e-4c0bde93268c&pf_rd_i=283155

R.I.P., and thanks for the power and soul of your voice.

Final volume of this series - this music couldn't be played better.

For the same reason I keep my old French LP box set. It's all a question of how much you want it and how much you are willing to spend.

Back then it was one of my favourites. I still have the 45, it is in a box on the shelf two feet from my head while I write this.

One of the heroines of my last school years when I discovered black music - my thoughts are with her.
