My suggestion: Stay clear of that site, if you don't want to go broke! Otherwise ....

When I saw the quartet with Lightsey, Reid and Galdden Reid had a full upright bass with a pickup. No microphone. Sound was okay on the gig; I never heard the Keystone CDs, but will go for the Mosaic Select.

Me too!!! This is my favourite Dex after his homecoming.

Any other Benny Carter on soprano out? Maybe on Pablo?

Bruxnickx list four more titles not included on the VeeJay/Blue Moon CD, which was its first issue, BTW. Wonder why they didn't include them, maybe the tapes are missing? Due to this it's pretty short.

Yes I do! So what? B) He was a heavy influence on Cannonball, that's for sure, more than Parker, in some respects.

Claude, are you workin' on a Babs Gonzales Discography? I have your Wardell Gray and Hank Mobley discos and would be lost without them - sometimes at least .

1) Ozzie Cadena produced all three of these sessions, the term supervisor means a similar occupation, but practically it was the same function. 2) see 1) 3) all three sessions were recorded by Rudy Vam Gelder at his Englewood Cliffs studio. The titles from Poindexter's Gumbo LP were all composed by him. The vocal tracks are the four previously unissued items from the January 31, 1963 session that produced the LP "Pony Poindexter Plays The Big Ones", a nice album (all instrumental) that has not yet been reissued in the U.S. but is available on a CD by the British BeatGoesPublic label, coupled with GumbO.

Y'all aware ya just spoiled a potential Organissimp Blindfold Test item?

John, is that your closet?

I' very much looking forward to the new reissue, BTW!

The title Aspects, BTW should be understood astrologically - the angles between the positions of planets in a birth chart. You can see the signs of the Zodiac on the cover, and there is one track for each month, appropriately titled. Happy fortune telling!

There is a slightly different report in the Columbia 4-CD box, as far as the aquaintance with Desmond is concerned. Brubeck to this day suffers from headaches as a consequence of this accident.

Yep, it was a German reissue of BMG in their Living Stereo reissue series, # 72431 25723 2: It is OOP.

# 2: So that's Gil Evans? Must be from the same time when he cut his rare LP "The British Orchestra" - never found a copy of that one either. That it's British players explains the eclecticism of the percussion, I'm not a fan of these mixes of Cuban, Brazilian and other rhythms, although it generally works, as long it is all in the same time signature, because the differences between the rhythms/dances get evened out, but it sure make a fine groove here. The piece takes a surprising turn after the opening theme, perhaps suggested by what is seen on the screen ... There's a bunch of movie music on this CD: A Genre underestimated with many hidden gems, it seems. Basically, I always thought jazz is the ideal movie score music for its flexibility. Many players seem to change their attitude and sound as well: I'd never have thought it was Mulligan on # 5 - rather some other West Coast cats, and well, there they are .... # 6: That Les Baxter: I like his music very much, have only his Capitol double CD compilation, which I highly recommend, but haven't listened to it often enough, it seems ... I didn't have as much time for this BFT as I would have liked to ....

Don't have the album, would like to have it, passed it on back then, had one track on a Xanadu sampler. Don Schlitten produced for the label, his engineer of preference was Paul Goodman at RCA Studios.

I wasn't fishing for compliments, I justed wanted to know who has the nerve to say this: Any test master can do as he/she likes to, I'd say.

Seems Tjader was only briefly with Rey, but the search lead me to this nice pic:

The only thing I previously learned about him was that Cal Tjader played with his band in the early 1950's, after returning from that near fatal Hawaii trip with the Dave Brubeck Trio and before joining the George Shearing Quintet. Can anyone describe the music, or are there sound samples availabe on the web? I always wanted to find out if Tjader ever recorded with him - is there an online discography?

Who is Mr. BFT, BTW?

So one might as well start the discussion thread as soon as the first discs are out, no matter when they arrive. The time needed for shipment seems impossible to calculate.

I have to correct myself here: The Zweitausendeins shop only had CDs from earlier reissue series in stcok, which were digipacks, but the new ones they sent by mail were all jewel cases, made in Germany. Remastering sounds very good and natural, very close to the Lps I have. I'll get me more of these.

I generally don't like Hibbler, but he's so wonderfully over the top on that one that I love it. There is a very nice Reprise LP with a Gerald-Wilson-led orchestra, where he projects unbelievable warmth. Was reissued on a Discovery LP, don't know if it ever was on CD, but that may convert a few here.
