Here's that review I linked, to water some mouths:

Still noone that has listened to this?

My barber co-owns his shop and has neat little slots for the tip money on the bar, so you can decide anonymnously how much you give to whom. But as he does the washing and all himself most of the time, I tip him.

Not among the best RRK on Atlantic in my personal opinion, 'Rahsaan Rahsaan', 'Left and Right' and 'Inflated Tear' are stronger. Yeah - but my favourites!

Go figure why there are no mixed tennis matches.

Same here!

The only label box I have is the 2-CD Cobra box - at thetime it was the only way to get the Otis Rush master takes in one place. Other music on it is good, too.

That's probably the one I pull out the most often, too. If they only had included all the lyrics ... I don't have too many rock box sets, the only one I pre-ordered was the Buffalo Springfield, 'cause I simply love their music. The Cream is great too, and it is absolutely classic material!

..... and it took the Japanese 20K issue to find out?

Here Comes Whitleman - Atlantic Bright Moments - Atlantic A Meeting of the Times w. Al Hibbler - Atlantic

Check this thread.

Not only the piano sound: basses sounded thin, drums tinny, with the kickdrum almost inaudible, a trademark Schlitten unfortunately carried along to many Muse recordings - courtesy of his studio/engineer preferences. Strange, 'cause Paul Goodman at the RCA studios was capable of much better sound. Must have been Don Schlitten"s taste.

Chronologically, it was a Blue Note session with Tommy Flanagan, Oscar Pettiford and Shadow Wilson, with Frank Foster on some tracks, part of which was released on Kenny Burrell Vol.2. The first issued was the Prestige with Cecil Payne, Elvin Jones and I don't remember who else. The first Blue Note LP had Kenny Clarke, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers and Candido Camero. All great ... First Burrell sideman date was with Gillespie on DeeGee, IIRC, with Coltrane in the band ...

He does!!!

KnoWare!

DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!! OR, to put it in the exact words in which I conceived it, "One Degree of Blue Note" B-) Cool theme, yes? Think I'll go and edit my original post and emphasize the connecting elements ... Congrats to Mike Weil for pointing in the right direction and Jim Sangrey for bringing it home! So teamwork strikes again! Cool idea! The only disappointement after reading the answers was the Les McCann track - too superficial for my taste. Otherwise, all soild or great music. Thanks!

Too bad Wes didn't record with other organists than Melvin Rhyne or Jimmy Smith, although I dig these to death. Dave Stryker works fine with organists, too. He is on Javon Jackson's Blue Note CD Pleasant Valley, which is sold at bargain price in Germany at the time, paired with Larry Goldings.

Jimmy Cobb is as great as ever. Here's a link to his bio on the Fantasy website. The first CD of Cobb's Mob, which exists for quite a few years now, in fact was this album: He's pretty much in demand as a sideman in recent years.

As far as the theme is concerned: There is at least one musician on each track that is on a Blue Note album, or the tune was composed by a Blue Note artist - but there are about two tracks that will not fit into this scheme ...

So what, John - giving the US boys a lesson in German numerals? Makes me consider to write my signup in German ... Back home and quite relaxed and in good spirits, it seems. Mee too, next week, at last I'm getting the sun I was missing in Germany.

Sounds interesting, but to my knowledge the ADDA label is out of business. The zarb is a drum used in Iranian music, but the berimbau is an afro-brazilian music bow with a gourd resonator, struck with a stick held by the right hand, together with a caxixi basket rattle. The existing part of the ADDA catalogue was taken over by Arion, another French mostly classical label. I received this last month after four months of patiently waiting. It will not remain the last Colin CD in my collection.

.... honestly, it really does. But Gatton was real crazy to play like that!

BTW - IIRC it was Charlie who tried to turn his brother to jazz, but it took a few years before he caught on.

Indeed. Charlie Palmieri's LP, A Giant Step (Tropical Budda 003), is a fine recording. He recorded it after recovering from a heart attack and stroke, but you'd never know that from his playing. Don't know if this has been reissued on CD, but, if not, it deserves to be. It was in Germany - will check details when back home.

If you dislike salsa vocals, check the sound samples before ordering - but the singer of his currennt band is very nice, I saw this band in Frankfurt a few years ago, and a TV brodcast from a Burghausen festival performance, where they were much better. Palimieri dropped his vocalists entirely at some point, before the Palmas album, and has been featuring jazzy horns ever since.
