I recommend this reissue, it has great sound, all takes, and they got the leader right and gave him the bigger photo. That Coltrane rarely smiled may have its cause in his bad teeth, he was under constant pain until Naima finally dragged him to a dentist. I read that in one of the biographies. Joachim Berendt, unaware of this, credited the absence of smiles to his spiritual earnestness.

On Savoy Coltrane was not the leader, but Wilbur Harden. https://jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Harden/harden-disc.php They were reissued with Coltrane listed first to increase sales potential.

Not a musician (?), but nice.

These three students play fine, but are not from the historically informed fraction (the cello played with a supporting rod is an indication). HIP trained performers would have chosen the right tempo and gesture.

The Manuscript depicted in the link in the first post shows the violoncello part (basso) - obviously the pages had been cut a little bit, truncating the word "violoncello" at the top, when they were bound. It is seven movements in total, 12 minutes all together, which is normal for a serenade at the time it was probably written. If you follow the written music of the pages shown you can see it is all the seven parts. The applause, well ......

Disc 6 with the Benny Golson Quartets.

R.I.P. I once saw him guest with a local big band and was able to talk to him backstage after the concert as I had conducted a short interview with him via e-mal before on request of a local magazine. Very nice man. What was amazing was that his solos were full of well known phrases but sounded fresh and new coming out of his horn. Really great. He was the music.

Oh well. R.I.P. He and Mike Bloomfiled did some important work.

Discogs sorts by release date. All those releases indeed are reissues of pre-1960 recordings. Thanks for the info on that quintet, I couldn't find anything about. Cumberbatch plays on the two tracks reported.

His recording career stops in 1960, after that The Jazz Discography Online has only two sessions in 1971 (Amram) and 1976 (Swing to Bop Quintet).

It is, IMO.

You lucky bastard. 😄

Just my thoughts.

The book covers her career up to the point where she quit jazz! I do not see any reason to not believe her. So far seemingly objected to her book's contents.
