One method that always works is saving the image to your harddisk and then upload it as an attachment to your post - but that way it is only one image per post.

Another great tenor who did a ton of recordings, again, I never heard this guy play a bad note! Ira Gitler's book "Swing To Bop" is a good introduction on his career - he was one of the key figures in that transition of styles. (That book was dedicated to his memory.) He was a member of the Earl Hines quartet late in the Fatha's career, these I recommend, and his own group with Bill Pemberton and Oliver Jackson, the JPJ quartet - actually the fathaless Hines quartet - if you can find any of their LPs, which are all OOP. (Watch out to not confuse him with R&B bandleader Buddy Johnson.) The JPJ Quartet definitely would deserve the Mosaic (Select?) treatment! For starters, the titles avialable on OJC CDs are very nice: Budd Johnson CDs on the Fantasy website Some more:

LOVE IT !!!

Very nice to see this excellent release gets its due credit!

Never heard a bad note comin' out of his horns! One of the best! All of his Savoy dates I have are very nice. But on this one, there are three tenors, Gene Ammons, Frank Foster, and Wess, and he wins, to my ears! The stuff I have heard from the 1980's and newer in smal grooup contexts is also very good.

Have you considered moving to Stamford?

29. The kick you get when it goes OOP and you already have it 30. The even better kick you get when it's OOP and you can help out someone who broke a disc or didn't get it ...

I've always liked her trimbre and phrasing, and she scats well. Has a very nice way of experimenting without hitting extremes. I have a few of her records, most of them are probably very rare, there's even a self-produced LP among them "All Out", a duet with drummer Jerry Granelli, a live reording in a modern bop vein made in Seattle, and a Vocal Summit CD, etc. Sure deserves more credit than she got!

People gave up on their instruments in much less sharp company!!!

You're both on the list!

From the silliest albums covers thread: ... I think it's a very cool cover idea, attatching these tiny light bulbs to the mallets. B)

"... the hard of hearing" - ???

.... makes three!

I know you're not the one to blame, Jim!

Just to straighten my eyes out .... will someone tell this guy how to use his digital camera?

That Atlantic LP was a reissue - the original was on Randy Weston's own label Bakton. And Booker Ervin is on it, too .....

..... oh so true .....

You got the message!

Jack Chambers' analysis of the session in his book "Milestones" - thanks to other board members for the recommendation - sums it up nicely. Any body else took up this book after reading this thread?

This is an album of all acoustic piano trios, each with a different pianist/bassist combination. Hank Jones, Cedar Walton, Kenny Barron, Bob James, Dave Grusin, Fred Hersch, Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Herbie Hancock, Mulgrew Miller and Monty Alexander are the pianists; Ron Carter, Dave Carpenter, Charlie Haden, George Mraz, Charnett Moffett, Eddie Gomez, Michael Valerio and Larry Grenadier are the bassists. This review at Amazon.com sums it up very well. Excellent album!!! *****

Some baroque bargains crossing my way today (all only EURO 5 or 10 per CD): Cantatas by Agostino Steffani, by an ensemble directed by Japanese lutenist Yasunori Imamura, whom I saw perform, reviewed and dig very much Corelli, Sonatas op.5, by Sonnerie, the group of premier British baroque violinist Monica Huggett Christmas Cantatas by Alessandro Stradella (the name sounds like a brand of ice cream ...) I know this is not the right season, but it's an excellent version, by a great Italian ensemble and on a rare, regularly very high priced label ...

I found a shop named Crocodisc in the Rue des Écoles when I visited Paris in the 1980's - is that the same?

I didn't know that story about Blues Bag ... I think this is the one bass clarinet album I would take to the desert island, even before Dolphy. I love that instrument, much more than the higher sibling. Bennie Maupin is great on it, Marty Ehrlich, Bob Mintzer and many other play some great stuff on it. I will have to get me that Milt Hinton CD ... Another favorite of mine: One of the most relaxed swinging albums I have. Mann (as well as Jack Nimitz) also plays some bass clarinet on this:

1. There always is at least one item you have but do not recognize 2. There always is at least one item or CD or artist you considered for your own upcoming test disc 3. You always make at least one guess that makes you slap your forehead when you read the correct answer Any more? B)

Today I received Michel Legrand's Legrand Jazz, which is part of French Universal anniversary series .....
