My copy arrived today, but as a Christmas gift from my wife, parcel still unopened ... otoh she wears her equivalent Xmas gift, a particular coat she had wanted, for two weeks already ....

It's also on the first Chronological Classics CDs of Wilson's band. 1945, that's all we know ... The master number was OR-159-A3 - the two tracks recorded May 21, 1945 had OR-126 and OR-128 - so It should have been recorded no sooner than July 1945.

I witnessed a three hour concert and always thought that Shakti's didn't really catch the brilliance of that evening. I have all three but never listen to them. The third was over-produced, IMO.

Sounds good. The price with amazon.de is down to € 109,95 .....

Juggin' Around (Foster) Going South (Foster) Jim Dog (Ammons) Sermonette (Adderley) Little Ditty (Wess) Swingin' For Benny (Green) That's all there is.

@ Dan: Grab This is the one and only.

There is a note on one of the first of the two amazon pages linked:

I love this one, as well as the organ date he recorded at the time in California with Paul Bryant and Joe Pass. More relaxed than your usual Griffin record, but that's perhaps the reason I like it so much.

Don't know that one ... but wins all prices with Coltrane and Lady Q, too! And that Concord album with Frank Foster pictured above is wonderful, get hold of it if you can! That one was issued under Bennie Green's name, "The Swingin'est" - but it may be reissued under somebody else's name, too. There was one under Gene Ammons's name, "Juggin' Around", but that subsituted a track. The complete session was six tracks, I have a twofer Blue Moon edition with all of them.

The Fresh Sound has all 3 LPs on 2 CDs - I must admit I never heard any of recordings. IIRC these are some of the few that Fantasy or Concord never got around to reissue. R.I.P.

What can you say ... a real great musician, dependable, and able to deliver a real hot solo when desired. I cherish that VeeJay Lp where he plays alongside Frank Foster and Gene Ammons and always wins the prize. R.I.P.

That Getz album has Haynes playing on just one track, and it's a string orchestra.

I'm sure it will be a great day! Live long and prosper!

There's a review of the book linked - I suggest we continue discussion of the book there.

Hey - that Michael Schmidt was here in Wiesbaden some two years ago and was referred to me by a mutual friend. I recommended the Darmstadt Jazz Institute and gave him an interview about the local scene - a Texan of German descent researching a thesis on the German jazz scene - very nice guy. Even nicer to see some of the results of his work.

R.I.P. He was an ubiquitous presence on the scene from 1975 well through the 1980's, after that I lost sight of him. That quartet with percussionist Marcio Doctor from 1992, what label was that made for?

Same here - the Mulligan/Baker and Ammons/Lewis sets followed soon after. But I can't remember the year.

PM sent on: Andre Minvielle - Follow Jon Hendricks..if you can!!! (Bee Jazz) w/slipcase $5

Please send me a PM with a download link, too; I'm busy preparing my own due in December, but will have to practice some, too, in the listener's role.

Is this a real fridge or a fake?

Excellent idea! Buffalo Springfield Again Cream - Disraeli Gears Gentle Giant - I A Glass House Pentangle - Solomon's Seal Pentangle - Reflection Otis Rush - Mourning In The Morning Kooper/Bloomfield/Stills - Super Session Howlin' Wolf - some Chess Greatest Hits compilation Loggins & Messina - same Johnny Guitar Watson - A Real Mother James Brown - Live at the Apollo (the one with There Was A Time) Helcio Milito - Kilombo Moacir Santos - all of them! African & Afro-American Drums (2 LP Smithsonion Box) Jali Nyama Suso - Kora Music anything from the Musical Anthology of the world series on Musicaphon Kartick Kumar - Sitar Music from India

What a waste of playing time!

Strange - no matter how I try, it always says: "Sorry, you don't have permission to view this attachment!"

Yes it is available as part of Roscoe's L-R-G / The Maze / S II Examples. It was originally a 2 lp set now fitting on one disc. The music might not be in your "wheel house". L-R-G is 37 minute trio for woodwinds (Roscoe), high brass (Leo Smith) and low brass (George Lewis). The Maze is a 21 minute octet for all kinds of percussion. S II Examples is a 17 minute exploration of multi-phonics on the curved soprano saxophone. Seems like this one is right up my alley!
