  1. Bill Henderson's Blue Note sides with Jimmy Smith or Horace Silver.
  2. Quote from this post: " Michael Cuscuna told me that they did indeed begin the planning for a Burton RCA set at one point, but that they were unable to secure the rights for it because Sony wanted a guaranteed number of sets that was higher than what Mosaic felt was financially viable. "
  3. Weren't all of these reissued on single CDs, with bonus tracks?
  4. Happy Birthday, Jim, thanks for everything, and many years of happy keyboard to come.
  5. It was 7500 copies including the LP sets.
  6. Fischer stated in the liner notes of the Dicovery reissue that he was dissatisfied with the sound of the Atlantic LP as it had the low frequencies equalized out. The bass sax and string bass sounds were affected by this. The Discovery CD reissue is titled "Waltz" and includes seven tracks from another big band session recorded the same year. All nine tracks were on the Discovery LP "Duality". Waiting for the CD of George Shearing's "Bossa Nova" to arrive, which features Fischer's exquisite wood wind arrangements.
  7. Cantine Pellegrino, Tripudium Cataratto 2015 Cataratto is a typical Sicilian white grape, normally used for Marsala - Pellegrino makes a very elegant white wine of these grapes.
  8. Oh, that looks very interesting. I got to know Robyn Schulkowski back in 1978 while working as a roadie for Peter Giger's Family of Percussion (Giger, Doug Hammond, Tom Nicholas, Trilok Gurtu), she attended a Bonn performance, was studying classical percussion in Cologne. She has come a long way ..... turned into a virtuoso classical avant garde percussionist.
  9. .. for the Baptist Beat ...
  10. IIRC there was the idea of a Mosaic box with all of Mobley's Blue Notes with Wynton Kelly, but these were all reissued on single CDs and we got the 1950's box - fair enough, as all other Mobley Blue Notes were reissued, too. IMHO they are all worth hearing.

  12. 2015 vintage, different printed label
  13. Anyone listening to Mongo Santamaria's band from the 1960's ....... check out "Cold Sweat".
  14. The Lord disco lists two unissued tracks from the session for that single. No LPs or CDs - the sampler posted above is outside of that disco's scope.
  15. R,I,P, One of those unsung jazz greats who never played a bad note and always found the perfect notes to play, in good taste and spirit. All of the many Prestige dates he did as a sideman in the 1960's are worth listening to, but his two LPs worth as a leader still has some tracks unissued and never was on CD. He came a long way,starting with Charlie Singleton's band in 1949, Lester Young in the early 1950's, Julius Watkins' band Les Jazz Modes, accompanist for Jon Hendricks and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross/Bavan, settling in California and playing for many singers, Lorez Alexandria in particular. His only other recrding as a leader was an LP for Interplay in 1990. To me, he was the perfect tasteful modern jazz pianist.
  16. Beautiful music, excellently played, on two wonderful instruments, in perfect recorded sound - nothing left to ask for. http://www.encelade.net/index.php/en/
  17. Trumpet player Lorenz Raab is incredibly good on this CD!

  20. I bought the two CDs on HEP with all the instrumentals and I am perfectly happy with them! Ordering from Hep directly works fine. http://www.hepjazz.com/hep_jazz_artist_biographies/chick_webb.html#CD1063
  21. Hi Rocky - playing not much at the moment, just a percussion group with former students of mine, and accompanying dance classes at the musical university in Frankfurt. I'll be in Vienna for a week next year (Wiener Neustadt, to be exact), visiting an old friend of my wife - great opportunity for another club evening. I bought several CDs from Flip Philipp over the years, all great music.
  22. Exaggerated, especially as these two tracks were on many LP and CD reissues. There are two 78's on Parrot that never were on LP or CD, but are available at low prices, although not in perfect condition:
