Does anybody here know the price this Lp set achieves on ebay or used Lp shops?

This was discussed here several times. So far no tape of this seems to have been found. (Try to do a search, somehow my attempts to do so failed. David Wild's website on Coltrane probably has some info - there was an article in disc'ribe magazine that i typed out here somewhere.)

Keepnews never made a secret out of the fact that it was his strategy to prove Monk had some serious connection to the jazz tradition and conventions by having him play established material, thus the first two trio LPs. To my knowledge there are no Monk covers by the Duke, but many of the originals Duke wrote for his trio sessions on Capitol, Columbia, United Artists or Fantasy show the common roots. Duke was clever enough to know that even he couldn't cover Monk. IMHO it has rarely been done satisfactorily.

Many 1950's Lps were only a few minutes longer than 30, but several Savoys were shorter. The original Joao Gilberto bossa nova Lps were all under 30 minutes too.

Discs to the German/Dutch/Swiss branch of the BFT congregation will be at the postoffice tomorrow! (Wednesday, that is.)

I said he was on my lips, not in my fingers - that's the problem!

Jimmy Jones was on my lips when I posted Nat Pierce ... There are a few nice trio sides on a Vogue piano sampler, recorded when he was in Paris with Sarah Vaughan. He pops up on more sessions than one might think, and plays very well throughout.

Yes I still have your adress, and they are just being burned: perfect timing!

Considering that the cooling of camembert is something to get killed for in France ... you know that Superdupont comic where he fights with Bruce Lee who downs him by serving Bordeaux and Camembert from the fridge?

My grandmother used to make this for me when I was a young. There are a few different variations. My great Aunt Lena used to put salt and pepper, parsley, and sometimes an onion. Good stuff, but for me I had them hold the onions. B-) There are endless veriations to this orange salad. It also works with very thin slice fresh fennel. Better without onions, IMHO.

Disc arrived here this morning - very nice job, dana! This might inspire some caustic comments ... But I like this mixture very, very much. Will try to do dem burns as fast as possible.

I have imagined many different patterns, and none seems to fit real well ..... maybe Tubbs thought up the bass riff and left it open for the drummer. And as Philly Joe really doesn't sound that inspired here ..... in any case, it would have to be played very dicretely here to work.

Well, I didn't say I really disliked anything about #7, mainly I found it irritating. Has it been identified already, btw? Nah, I'm just riffin' on ya! B-) But the piano player IS one of my favorites, specifically for his chameleon-like ability to emulate the Duke and the Count without coming off as a pale imitation. IMHO, anyway! Nat Pierce, of course, is the first to come to mind with these abilities ...

Spring fever!

I love this combination, too!

Well, I would shy away from adding olive oil to a fruit salad Guy, you should give this a try! I'm serious - just don't use too much and take care that it is a mild fruity brand. I have one from Sicily that's perfect for this. Strawberries with just a little old balsamico and this is delicious! p.s. Where's the place in Paris with the Olive ice cream?

Lee Morgan is puffing his cheeks with a Gillespie model trumpet behind me while I am posting .... nice shots throughout. BTW: did you scan this yourself or is there a website with the photos? Please post a link!

Dizzy Gillespie, too. And bassist Al McKibbon - both he and Dizzy learned it from Chano Pozo.

Re track 3: The arrangements were by one Harry Tubbs and are very well done throughout - anyone here knows some more about him? The original liner says the A sections of the theme are thought of as "latin" - and the bass line indeed sounds like it was written out and is unlike anything I heard Pettiford play in similar contexts. Imagine a typical latin cymbal pattern - it would be much too busy and obscure the very interesting bass pattern. Maybe they tried different things and decided to have Philly Joe play it straight instead. On the whole it is okay to these ears but a little stiff, maybe because he felt restricted by the arrangement. And note this is the only track Freddie Green plays on - what can a drummer play underneath his 4-to-the-bar rhythm guitar? (Is there any other recording of Freddie Greene and Philly Joe Jones in the rhythm section?) Any latin pattern would clash. The drum part as heard is not perfect, but probably the best solution.

That statement from the news page at Fantasy doesn't sound so bad:

You can find it on the news page:

That Tjader is the last pre-1960 Tjader Fantasy missing in my collection ...

Interesting comment... referring to white males? Did Blacks care for the DOORS? I would assume not many. Probably same with Bruce Springsteen. Interesting observation - same here in Germany. I always felt out of place, as I was much more fascinated by the black music of the time - the rhythm was so much more in the groove. I liked a white rock band like the Rascals, who had a "black" groove ...

Excellent job! Prooves once again how many gems are hidden on those live broadcast recordings, AFRS Jubilee records, etc.
