Was I right about this? Well, yes and no ..... no Brubeck here.

This is closer than you think: I knew mastersaxbrain Sangrey would get this sooner or later. Think of my original clue, that it is a countless tune, and you will be more lucky .... p.s. no shaving here either, but the label indeed was a California indie ...

Please apologize in case I gave someone credit for a score he doesn't deserve, these times zones get me mixed up!!!

Use your brains, my friends. If Guaraldi does not play on # 15, but the LP is listed on one or both of the Guaraldi sites, hat the hell does it mean?!!! He does not play on everytrack of every LP, does he?

Every big band at that time was a dance band!

Forgot to say, I found a copy of her debut CD at half price ... I will let you know how it is.

Here's a link to her website.

Another shot into the blue ..... (re # 3). Okay, another clue: The clarinetist on # 4 is not the leader. All except the pianist were members of the same band at the time, and that was not any dance band!

Canadian soul singer of French/Italian lineage - has anybody heard her music and can describe it? Pics of her with a trumpet made me curious. Thanks, as always.

I have an order standing for the Monastery reissue, but how is this one? Are the strings on all stracks, how is it? Thanks!

I always felt Mingus' collaboration with vibist Teddy Charles was underrated - it is very subtle and sophisticated, very moody, but scattered over three labels: - the January 6, 1955 session for Prestige with J.R. Monterose & Jerry Segal - the July 9, 1955 session for Debut with Miles Davis, Britt Woodman & Elvin Jones - the November 12, 1956 session for Atlantic with Hall Overton & Ed Shaughnessy As soon as I have the facilities I'll make my own CDR of these - when listened to in sequence they make a very strong impression. (Only the second was under Mingus' leadership.)

Re: # 4: You are all still far off with this countless tune. Very funny to read what you all think it could be ...

On this session they recorded two vocalese track by King Pleasure and two instrumentals by the same band and arranger that were used as B-sides for the single releases, but left off when these tracks were reissued on 10-inch and later 12-inch LPs. A later "Historical Series" Prestige LP 7586 and a 1970's twofer LP which collected all of King Pleasure's Prestige sides were the only LP issues, and even the first Original Jazz Classics CD version left them off. The newly edited OJC CD available now has them, though. But this is the reason they are not as widely known as the vocal sides. The answers coming later this week will give details.

You're right Jim, Vince Guaraldi is the piansit appearing on disc 2 three times, on the tracks you listed. Tip o' the hat to Nate's ears from me, too! I should have been more precise in my reference to your links: I am talking about the two Guaraldi sites you linked.

I am!

Damn you, Mike There is an Imperial double cello session with Harry Babasin recorded for Imperial and reissued on IAJRC but I never heard the four sides recorded that day! So you want to tell me there is some O.P. that I have in my collection and you have not?

Moacir Santos, Opus 3 No. 1 (Discovery)

Real big clue just for you - how would you have felt when someone else would have guessed it?

Tony Williams Lifetime, The Old Bum's Rush

This happened to be my first vocal jazz album. Jon Hendricks' liner notes are sooo hip.

All pics from this site, a good source for online information about the band.

Yes they were - about the only American rock band that really had me mesmerized when I heard For What It's Worth on the radio. That press release is not quite correct about that song: It was recorded after the first LP Buffalo Springfieldwas released, and after it became a hit they re-released the album with one track left out and the single hit included. It never was part of the second LP Buffalo Springfield Again. Palmer must have been an extremely shy guy with a complex personality, if one trusts John Einarson's and Richie Furay's book. I would recommend this and the box set for documentation of that unique band.
