I' totally in agreement with your comment on the Verve boneheads. After the Charlie Parker Verve box set I thought they would give Dizzy the same complete treatment. But no, they did that 4 CD set called Dizzy's Diamonds. Not Kenny Washington's fault, who did a great job considering the wealth of material. I think it was the sheer quantity that made them shy away from a complete set. But they could have split it up into several sets featuring his working groups including the big band, special projects, and all star collaborations including sideman dates. They wouldn't have sold less copies than a Nina Simone set.

If it's illegal - is there any precedent? Papers etc. protect those parts of their sites with copyright protection by passwords, everything that is freely accessible should be quotable - but please all make sure you give th source of the quote. A link, IMO, functions pretty much the same way as a quote, doesn't it?

The name of the man in question is Tadayuki Naito. It is only one gull, by the way ...

Technically, this is all possible, but there is Eicher's perfectionism standing against it ...

Thanks a lot, bownie!

In addition to my saturday purchases - went to Zweitausendeins at Frankfurt once more, to get a birthday present for our godson: John Coltrane, Birthday Celebration ( ), a 3 CD selection of his sessions for Prestige and Riverside. Got the last in store copies of some more Atlantic reissues: The Blue Yusef Lateef Hank Crawford, More Soul Pete Christlieb & Warne Marsh, Apogee

Oh you lucky guy - they're still on my wish list. Please don't take me wrong - I rank Wolff among the great jazz photographers along with Leonard, Claxton, Friedman, you name 'em. It's jsut that particular photo that doesn't get me. Aren't there any others any one of you thinks it's not so great? Don't wanna put him down, but we all know the really great ones, and this thread is about the misses.

Am I right when I assume this Barclay LP licensed Monk Trios from Prestige, or was it Blue Note or Riverside?

C'mon, you were on the bright side for a long time .....

Perhaps I would like it better without that bulky piece of microphone or whatever it is.

... mine is this.

I always thought it was clear they are all on the same server - all the EMI-Capitol related sites in the US, including Mosaic and True Blue. The golden rule for any computer user is "Never change a running system" - maybe they did just that.

This is one of the few cases where we know the exact date and even the time of day of a Bach performance. The daughter in case was Susanna Regina Hempel, of a "Akzisekommisar" (don't ask me to translate that) from Zittau, a neat city in Saxonia, the bridegroom was Johann Heinrich Wolff, a merchant in Leipzig. The wedding took place at high noon on February 5, 1728, in the "Schellhaferische Haus", Klostergasse, Leipzig, with the celebratory music performed probably immediately afterwards. The Mendelssohns in question were Robert and Paul von Mendelssohn, it was reported as being in their collection in 1926. There was no trace of the score afterwards. I'm looking forward to hear this, as Bachs secular cantatas were among the works he took the most pains with, to impress the VIPs in town and to show his music could be just as attractive as Dresden operas. He recycled many parts of these secular works for his church music, as it was no problem to perform music that had already been premiered there, whereas honorary persons always required new compositions. Just in case anybody might be interested ...

From this post.

Name games notwithstanding, this is a fine, heavily under-recorded drummer. There is, of course, part of Silver's Song For My Father and a nice Prestige album by Carmell Jones, Jay Hawk talk, with him participating. But he is still active - there was a mention somewhere on this board on occasion of a new release with younger musicians.

One not to be icluded in this list is Les Humphries, a leader of forgettable pop chorusses in 1970's - 80's Germany.

He can be heard to good advantage on a 1986 John Lewis session, "Kansas City Breaks" (I have a DRG Swing CD of it). The same sextet accompanied singer Nancy Harrow on another session.

The issue you have is a bootleg of the Time Records trio LP mentioned above, get the Steve Hoffmann remaster for best sound - and a legitimate issue:

There are websites with online exchange calculators - just type in the amount and select the currencies and hit the GO! button. I only have links to some in German language, but a websearch will turn them up quickly.

Bonne anniversaire, claude, and may jazz the discographic work bring joy to your life infinitely!

I never liked this particular Mobley cover photo, as it makes him look like some alien insect!

That's the way I see it.

I'm making eyes to the Rascals set .... and the Percy Mayfield.

My first day in Frankfurt for two months, so I got me: Gloria Coleman, Soul Sisters (Impulse) Yusef Lateef, The Golden Flute (Impulse) Benny Golson, One Day, Forver, with Shirley Horn (Arkadia Jazz, reduced at 5 EURO!!!) Benny Carter, Sax à la Carter (Capitol/UA) Antonio Vivaldi, Cello Sonatas, Bruno Cosset (Alpha, excellent rendition) Scarlatti, Harpsichord Sonatas Vol.5, Pieter-Jan Belder (3 CDs, Brilliant Classics, for just 8 EURO) Federico Mompou, Complete Piano Music played by the composer himself at age 81 (4 CDs, Brilliant Classics, at 8 EURO - another Zweitausendeins bargain) and, as a birthday gift for my wife, Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits.

Every photographer takes several, in most cases many, many photos before he gets one that he thinks is really great. The reason we do not know any "bad" is they never get published. Would you publish an inferior photo you've taken?
