Sonny Collins?

I got some nice classical LPs at Harold Moore's when I was in London last time in 2001. Great atmosphere!

Thanks, Tjobbe. I know these are available from time to time; I just thought I'd label them as OOP in the list to make people aware of the fact that they will perhaps be harder to get in the future. But I'll add the Japanese version of Sax No End!

Thanks, Lon and Mike! I've updated the list according to your info. It wasn't my intention that the list would appear as definitive, just something I did to make my lunch break pass quicker. Also just added the Muse album to the list in the first post.

Hi RC!!!

Miles Davis Sings (CTI, 1976) Together with producer/arranger Bob James, Miles brings his classic compositions like "Nardis", "Four" and "Blue in Green" fully up to date with groovy, danceable arrangements and newly-written lyrics. Apart from his much-admired voice in a completely new setting, this recording features some of the worlds finest musicians like Jon Faddis, Grover Washington and Tom Scott.

Do not edit posts?

Sweet Rain was scheduled for reissue some six years back. It never came out, presumably because a disagreement with the Getz estate which prevented the inclusion of any previously unreleased takes. See this thread for more info: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=6052 I did try to email GRP and Verve, but never got a reply.

If you use "quick edit", you'll still be viewing that post after hitting "complete edit".

Vince Guaraldi: 'We Remember Bob Marley' 'Kraftwerk plays the compositions of Horace Silver'

Sounds intriguing; I'll keep my eyes open for these...

Lon, I have not heard the later Boland albums. How are they compared to the earlier CBBB albums in terms of style?

Absolutely! It should have been reissued straight. There's the old CDR trick...

No Shit? I ain't got no shit, either. MG But I suspect that you, like me, got a shitload of other shit.

At least he has succeeded in a bit of myth-making. From the top 20 hits in a Google search for "Waltz for Debby" + "My Conception":

No Ornette. No Parker.

Neither would I. I simply thought that Ginell knew something I didn't, as a simple check with the AMG itself reveals that 'Waltz' was recorded several years before the Clark tune.

It was brought up here once, but that thread went wrong (skin color related) and disappeared.

I believe the full contents of the Shihab Argo album ('Summer Dawn', 1963), which is otherwise downright impossible to find, is scattered around the two compilations CDs from Rearward, Sahib Shihab 'And All Those Cats' and Francy Boland 'Calypso Blues', as well as all the cuts from another album in the 1000 dollar range, Kenny Clarke Francy Boland 'Swing Im Bahnhof' (1967, originally on Columbia).

Since you have already gotten a reply in the other thread (I suppose the double post was a mistake), I'd suggest that you delete one of the threads (bottom of page - moderation options). I leave it to you to decide which of them contains useful information.

I wasn't aware about this "rumour". I thought that "Waltz for Debby" was written first, but what do I know! From the Richard S. Ginell's AMG review of Eric Alexander's 'Solid': A Google search brought up this statement on a few other places as well, but I couldn't find any info about when the Sonny Clark tune was actually written.

do you mean this guy: http://seniormusicians.homestead.com/WileyAllen.html

He hasn't visited the forums since posting this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...wtopic=21099&hl= What do you make of those last words? I hope he's doing well.

I heard hime live once, in the summer of 2000, when he appeared with "The Monk Tentet All Stars" at the Stockholm Jazz Festival. The band consisted of Steve Lacy, Phil Woods, Land and Howard Johnson on saxes, Jack Walrath and Don Sickler on trumpets, Eddie Bert on trombone and Ronnie Matthews, David Williams and Billy Higgins in the rhythm section. Unfortunately, Land's tone sounded very dry and wasn't helped by trebly amplification. He was in good spirits, but was clearly not as fluent on his instruments as in past years. Lacy sounded weak, too; the only member in the sax section who turned in a completely convincing performance was Woods. The color of his face was rather grey, he wore big sun glasses and did not change the stern expression of his face during the show - in fact, he was the one on stage that looked the least alive - but his playing was quite engaging. The rhythm section was fine as well; Matthews, who also did the annoncements, was in very good form. After their show ended (I forget what came next), I watched Land and a couple of others from the Monk tribute band strolling around among the audience (only five years later, I believe artists don't do such things anymore) and my first thought was to ask of an autograph. Land was smiling a peaceful smile and talking quietly to the other guy. In the end I decided not to interrupt them. Well, at least I have an autographed copy of 'Take Aim' I found at Mole's in London.
