Besides some of those mentioned - Tony Williams Bennie Wallace Bobby Watson Don Grolnick Renee Rosnes New York Stories Andrew Hill Ralph Peterson I would say these: Steve Maskowski Kenny Burrell Guitar Band with Rodney Jones and Bobby Broom Sherman Irby Greg Osby Geoff Keezer Mark Shim

He's perfectly right about this - but I'm afraid her ideas about her career are against it.

I wonder what will happen to ZYX' European distribution of Fantasy after all this.

I am looking for a copy of Kenny Burrell's Blue Note CD Pieces of Blue and the Blues - I have the companion CD from 1987, "Generation". Thanks for any offer.

it really is - an acoustic bass would not have fitted the style of this album as well. James Cammack does a fine job without getting too close to Jacoisms. Other than this, the musical value of the tracks seems to be seen as good throughout, that is why the opinions agree so widely this time. In retrospect I shake my head about not recognizing Eric Dolphy

Did you mix up these two tracks? The brother is on # 6.

Hmm.... it's not Elvin or Billy Higgins. Roy Haynes? If my previous guess on Ben Riley was wrong? But the bass drum and snare sound is unlike every famous and loved drummer, the engineering is terrible.

That is why the theme of track 10 sounded so familiar to me! I almost hear the piano voicings. But I can't locate this in my collection - I'm sure I have Hank's version somewhere ...

At Gibert Joseph in Paris: Rodney Jones, The "X" Field (MusicMasters, OOP, with Greg Osby) Hal McKusick, Jazz Workshop (French RCA reissue) and some French baroque music: Chambonnières, Complete Harpsichord Music (Olivier Baumont) Louis-Claude Daquin, Complete Works (dtto) Francois Couperin, Motets (Christophe Rousset, Les Talens Lyriques - I visited St. Gervais, the church where he worked) Christlieb Sigmund Binder, Concerti per due cembali (Les Cyclopes) ... I could have spent a fortune on French music ...

That Coltrane/Fuller was announced on the liner notes to the Transition LPs and one track was included in the sampler. That sampler was $1.98 when it was released. The other LPs were at $3.98 back in those days. The BN Paul Chambers twofer had what was available from the material recorded at that session. Nothing else available unfortunately! Another reason to consider them lost... Cuscuna would have certainly put them on the Chambers Select if they were still around! What a pity! Lon, I like those early Dylan albums too! I guess Wilson DID make a difference with Dylan. And then he was the first (or so one says, at least) black producer in the pop/rock business back then. ubu I remember reading something about the mishaps surrounding that session, but can't recall the exact source. Looks liek Red garland didn't make the date - strange enough that tenor man Roland Alexander took the piano chores for one track. Maybe studio time ran out and/or the date was abandoned. These three tracks are all that was recorded, that is for certain. The source, of course, was David Wild's 1979 Coltrane Discography (2nd printed edition). This is not yet included on his website. Cuscuna copied/edited Dan Morgenstern's liner notes from the Bluie Note twofer LP "High Step" for the "Chambers' Music" CD, including the supposedly wrong recording date: I'd say the project was abandoned after that unsuccessful first session.

I think it's kind of ironic that Western mental health professionals in the 21st century still equate mental illness with possession by demons. If taken literally this is pretty close to the way traditional African cultures view this phenomenon.

No, no, and no ...

Same here since I have my BFT master finished

I have part of that on LP. Found it remarkable, all the more sonsidering the time it was recorded - he really had a message. Agree with Jim on the necessary forces.

Now that is precise timing: promise and request posted at exactly the same minute!

So how many brave men did sign up in these hot August nights and days?

I have almost all of Tjader's early stuff, and that's not among it.

hey, that's Mike's job! ..... too busy burning my own BFT discs, so he may proceed with my consent ...

No wonder - this may be his funkiest album ever!

Jim, you're flattering! There is so much music in the thread you linked that I haven't heard ... I just listened very closely to the ones I have, and, being a percussionist, I may be aware of some of the rhythmic/musical aspects that non-musicians may overlook. And I hate the sloppy watered-down stuff - especially German jazz musicians are sometimes hard to endure with their pseudo-knowledge of this music - most of them seem to think Getz is the real bossa nova! I must have overlooked that thread - I will check it out (mercy my budget ... )!

You're welcome! I even used this album at dancing parties! One of my five favorite jazz pianists of all time!

Ed Motta ... never heard of him. Did he study with Moacir Santos or acknowledge his influence? Gary Foster - well he has something in his sound that nobody else has - that very peronal way he ends phrases, that gave it away. I don't have that record, so you have to steal your mother's copy and send it to me . I will try to get that CD from which track 5 is - I have a Baden Powell LP he is on, but like him much better here.
