... I thought we all were 200% of that!

There was a review full of praise in one of the last issues of the oldest German jazz magazine, Jazz Podium that made no mention whatsoever of his errors or the Bryuninckx alternative. Probably written by someone who never saw a properly researched discography ...

Both the Quinichette Basie Tributes on Prestige are fine, both were on that twofer, both are now available as OJC's: This is another Prestige he's on, not swing, but a very beautiful hommage indeed: And this covers his rare Dale and Decca sides, I know you don't like these Spanish labels, but there is no other way to get this good music: There was indeed two sessions of a 10-incher on EmArcy, titled Moods, that's not on the VEE CD.

From a later decade , but I cherish those wonderful LPs by the Ruby Braff - George Barnes Quartet!

Hmm ... I thought every religion was old thought ....

As a sideline: I believe this is the first time a pic is used by two different board members in succession - this was my next-to-last ava... - ehm couwatar.

Could it be one of you intrduced the idea of having a poll about who does the next BT just now to keep us Europeans from passing the ball around here?

Hell Yeah! Congratulations!

I personally think it shows a little too much in his playing - and the two other horns are playing out of tune in some of the heads - or was that the Jazzland LP ? - that is even worse in that respect. For Dexterites, yes, but not indispensable.

I'm still waiting for the 1 LP 16 2/3 rpm edition ...

If I'm correct, the only still alive born before 1920 are George Shearing and Al McKibbon?

Brownie - didn't want to be picky, didn't have the time for an closer look, so you maybe right, and I was too fast. Tab Smith was indeed born in 1909. Thanks EKE BBB - nice job. 1909 was a great year!

Oh, that Pettiford discography - of course I know it - I must have overlooked that reissue. Thanks for posting, brownie! p.s. he lists only the CD reissue - does your LP bear the same issue number? I guess not.

There will never be enough Texans on this board !!!

The Jazz Studio One is indeed a fine session, all are in great form, not only Bennie Green, but also Paul Quinichette! There was a British Jasmine LP reissue in the late 1970's.

That's how they want to make us advance pay for our safety copies?

Just for fun - or perhaps not - not applicable - or not sure - ??? - I really can't take this seriously: 1. Unitarian Universalism (100%) 2. Liberal Quakers (96%) 3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (95%) 4. Secular Humanism (88%) 5. Neo-Pagan (88%) 6. New Age (83%) View my previous post ..... eben if you choose "none of the above" they put you into one of their bags - this is ridiculous and about as reliable as a Sunday paper horoscope. The curse of statistics .....

Well, if not, Universalism wouldn't be universal - and Humanism wouldn't be human - you dig?

Budd Johnson also made a nice Felsted record. And one for Riverside:

Steve Wilson

Re-listening with this thread in mind gives me the idea this was a mislead date similar to Herbie Hancock's unreleased first funk session of July 19, 1966. Not enough funk or soul in the groove. I think both rhyhthm sections fail in their own different ways. The earlier one is a little too straight soul jazz with Idris Muhammad and Jimmy Ponder (Is there any guitarist who could mesh with Andrew Hill ???), the second one is a jazz pack trying to stay in the pocket too much. The recipe was one more outrageous player (Workman and Waits, respectively) with more conventional section mates, perhaps with commercial considerations in mind - remember this was 1968 and jazz sales were not doing fine. Andrew Hill's Lion prescribed take on populat sounds? His Sidewinder? Morgan was on board for the second take ... Wasn't that one of Alfred Lion's last productions?

It was reissued on LP by Fresh Sounds. Nice date where Lucky Thompson is heavily featured with solos on all twelve tunes by Sharon. Eddie Costa sticks to vibes which is cool. The rhythm section with Oscar Pettiford and Osie Johnson is just fine. And Ralph Sharon is OK. Not really essential but no fans of unLucky could let this remain ignored when it was available. Saw a Fresh Sounds CD reissue of this, long time ago. Seems this is no longer available. Would you please post exact issue numbers as I need these for my Lucky discography in the making? Thanks!

I'm late on this, but the bass controversy in this thread made me curious and so I'm listening to this right now ... It was my first or second Hill LP back then and the one that opened the door for his compositional talent for me. That's why it will always hold a special place in my heart. (The other was the One For One twofer.)

Has anybody heard this and can recommend it?

That's an impressive list, of course! How did you do yours? Compiled it from an encyclopedia or is there a nice website to copy & paste it from? I dig 'em all, I have to say it again, but this mixture of swing, bebop and free in one decade fascinates me: Charlie Parker and Ornette Coleman. Anyone to list 1901-1910 and 1911-1919? I'm too lazy ...
