These CDs include all the alternates and unreleased tracks ever made available.

The timbalero is supposed to lead a Cuban rhythm section, so he may start a bar early to cue the others in. This may happen spontaneously in longer improvisations. but when an arrangement calls for double time, maybe there is a break or an arranged passage or simply an abanico, and they are all expected to switch at the same point. depends on what was agreed upon beforehand, and how well the players know each other.

I also use Canon printers, or rather their multi-functional printer/scanner/copying model, TS6051. I had the predecessor before and never ran into trouble, they are inexpensive, and the ink is affordable.

Highly recommended! Fantastic playing on a great sounding instrument, excellent recoridng, well chosen program. The first in a series on German baroque harpsichord music before Bach. Volume two will be here tomorrow.

The Ben Webster session on disc 6:

This morning:

SAVAGE Rosé 2021 Pays d'Oc Indication Géographique Protégée Very tasty Cuvée from Grenache Noir (50 %), Cinsault (40 %), and Syrah (10 %).

The JATP set may be of interest to me, if it contains considerable new material, although I am not really a fan of that format. I have all the Joe Henderson and Kenny Dorham as single CDs, I have all the Sonny Clark as single CDs, and all the Feddie Hubbard I want. Mosaic seems to go for the improved mastering route. The only set of that kind I'd buy would be a Hank Mobley set with Soul Station etc. but these are only four LPs worth of material. Maybe they will do it, because these sessions would deserve it.

Sign me up for February, please.

His arrangements for Konitz were great! Sy Johnson is severely underrated.

The weekend bottle: Mont`Albano Bio Grillo Sicilia IGT 2021

Yesterday and today:

R.I.P. What can you say .....

My own CDR with the completed session. 1988 Blue Note CD issue.

I have that one - it's excellent!

Sad news. I still have her first two LPs, will give them a spin tomorrow. Somehow she was a part of my way into jazz at the time. R.I.P.

I didn't know about the Uptown double CD, which of course includes much more music. Probably easier to find in the US.

An extraordinary jazz life! I read the sad news this morning when the Darmstadt Jazz Institut posted it on facebook. R.I.P

This one is a good starter, covering many of his early West Cost dates. Tracklist and samples: https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/dodo-marmarosa-albums/1715-dodo-s-bounce.html

It was Dannie Richmond who took her to that magical lady. Read it - lots of detail about that episode and several famous players, Mingus, Stan Getz, Herbie Mann etc. The problem with Mingus was that there was no rehearsal before the gig, Mingus didn't explain much besides "play like Duke" which she had not studied by then, and simply shoved her off the piano bench to play some himself to show her the way. Consider she was still 17 yers old when she hit New York and was called by Mingus, who was given her number by Jerome Richardson, who lived a floor above her. Many guys called her when they needed a sub, but made the records with other pianists - their regular players. Surprisingly, she does not write about the only two record dates she actually made, with Pharoah Sanders, and George Braith. What she writes about Freddie Hubbard is not the kind of behaviour that puts him in a favorable light. Stan Getz is two-faced, takes much care on the one side and is totally occupied by his drug habits and sexual obsessions on the other. Herbie Mann pays well but but must keep everything under control and lets no one play more tha two chorusses. When she played some more, she almost got fired. She never tried to fit anyone's shoes but tried to play herself, everybody respected her for that, but the bandleaders, well most of them.
