This Youtube clip features the Herbie Mann Quintet with Steve Marcus, Sonny Sharrock, Miroslav Vitous, and Bruno Carr - that band exactly was my second jazz concert ever!

Hope this vessel gets torpedoes before it takes off. There is only one Yellow Submarine.

Her last CD, Confessions, received the 2005 Hans Koller Award. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf9jM7biCGY has her with bassist Claude Tchamitchian and pianist Stephan Oliva, her musical partners in recent years.

Among the members of this forum, sure, but among jazz lovers in general? Even jazz saxists over here have only cursory knowledge of Mobley's recordings.

That session is too good to gather dust on the shelf!

amazon.com has samples. I was inspired to look into this because of the splendid work of Hyman and Lowe on this one (Keepnews mentions the Elliott date in his notes): ...but these trumpet duets are not as much to my liking, I think. Is that the same Don Elliott playing trumpet as well as mallets (e.g. with George Shearing)?

Just found this: Double Trumpet Doings Featuring Don Elliott (Jazzland JLP 15; Fantasy OJCCD 1925-2) - I should have looked further before posting. Still: how is this? (I like the Hyman/Lowe team).

Has this Riverside 10 incher ever been reissued on CD, or has anybody heard it and can tell how it is? Thanks ...

I will order one immediately ...

Hearing his tremendous sound should make an impact on anyone's life ... If I could take only one sax CD, it probably would be Pres. I wonder if those live recordings JSngry raved avour are avaoleble somewhere?

He had such a tremendous groove - why did he have to die so young?

IIRC Mosaic early on seriously considered a box set with the four LPs from the Workout period with Wynton Kelly, but then Michael Cuscua reissued them all on individual Blue Note LPs/CDs.

If the cover from post # 1 is any indication, I might go for some lindy hoppin' ...

Steve Coleman & Dave Holland Marty Ehrlich & Anthony Cox

Any idea how many copies were pressed of a Blue Note 45?

They sounded like decent needle drops ca. 1980. The LP they dubbed from obviously was in good condition.

That's great - wish I could be there. I love French Horn, and Julius in particular. All jazz French Hornists are special.

For France and Germany, ask http://www.arte.tv/de/70.html - they might give it a chance, but it would have to be subtitled in French and Germany, respectively. I'd volunteer to write the German subtitles for a decent fee ... I think most jazz fans are put off by his totally unprejudiced use of any music form, some sounds corny to the avant-garde guys, some sounds too pop to the straighahead fans ... many musicians are not able to cope with his rhythms. I dunno .... I can't help but think that one factor was that he was white ...

Never heard much of his music outside of the JATP sessions, as I'm not a guitar nut. An influential player, for sure. R.I.P.

I'm in, of course - download is fine.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will like this one as much as the Tjader CDs, Al - it includes the only session with Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, and Armando Peraza in one band!

I bought some artifical head recordings back then - problem was they only sounded really good on headphones. There were some great radio drama productions in that mode in Germany. I'm a fan of SACD, and I think it will stay around for a while, at least in the classical field. Many smaller companies release them, and there is a stable market for them in Japan. The point about SACD is not just the surround aspect, but the high resolution which yields best results with recordings in natural acoustics with minimal miking - the old Contemporary sessions or any jazz recorded with just two mikes sounds great in high resolution. Another advance would be the increased playing time of single layer stereo SACDS - BIS in Sweden released some single layer CDS with over 4 hours of music! Of course they can be played back only on SACD equipped players ... I'd go for Bird's complete Savoy studio sessions or Miles' complete Prestige Quintets with Trane in a minute! http://www.sa-cd.net
