I don't have the Lonehill reissue, so I can't answer your question. But it seems that Coltrane made a radio broadcast from Tivoli in Copenhagen on Oct 25th, so he was at least in town on that date. Now, if he was at Kirk's Montmartre gig is another question... http://home.att.net/~dawild/jcdisc63.htm#631025

Right you are, Jim! I was thinking of Jacknife, which I'm sure I've seen as both glossy and non-ditto (maybe in a thread at the BNBB regarding the cover art of the then upcoming reissue - you know the one which said Jacnife, wthout a 'k', before it was corrected).

Mine too. Also missing from the list, I believe: BN-LA 474-H2 Horace Silver - The Trio Sides BN-LA 485-H2 Herbie Nichols - The Third World BN-LA 488-H2 Booker Ervin - Back from the Gig BN-LA 496-H2 Freddie Hubbard - Here to Stay BN-LA 590-H2 Milt Jackson - All Star Bags These I'm unsure of: BN-LA 473-J2 Art Blakey - Live Messengers BN-LA 483-H2 Jackie McLean - Hipnosis My copy of "Hipnosis" is glossy, but I think I've seen a paper bag issue pictured on the web at some point.

Hazeltine's Waltz for Debbie is also very good. Allthough, after one listen I found his most recent, Cleopatra's Dream (the album is feturing exclusively Bud Powell tunes), uninvolving. We'll see if further tries will reveal something else.

One way to get all of the concert (possibly with the exception of the Max Roach solo piece) is to seek out the old Prestige 2-LP set "The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever". It was some time since I heard this, but the sound quality was probably not too impressive. I wouldn't have thought that this kind of recording would need any high-resolution format to sound as good as it can.

Re: the Rhodes touch, it seems that it can vary between different instruments (as the sound also does). I've played Mark I pianos with a very light touch, with almost too quick response, as well as those who demands great physical strength to produce any sound at all. It depends partly on the condition of the individual instrument, of course, but it seems that early Mark I:s are generally a bit harder to play. But - to my ears - those have the most beautiful sound. I think later Rhodes pianos can often sound a bit too polished and clean. I have played a few Wurlitzer electric pianos, which have had and extremely light touch that made them somewhat difficult to play for someone used to acoustic pianos. Cedar Walton and Bill Evans are two jazz pianists not previously mentioned here with a disctinctive touch on the Fender Rhodes. But my all time favorite is Chick Corea on "Light as a Feather". A Rhodes has seldom sounded better. I think Corea himself tried to get that sound again, but never succeeded completely; the instrument and amp were just rented for the recording session, and could not be located again, if I remember correctly. Incidentally, both a direct signal from the instrument and a miked one from the amp were recorded, but it was later decided to only use the sound from the amp. BTW, this is a great website for info about the Fender Rhodes piano: http://www.fenderrhodes.org/ Edit: I initially wrote Kurzweil; meant to say Wurlitzer.

Except for Hank Mobley!

Well... you mustn't forget the "Weird" though...

The remaining question is... why does a search for this guy still work perfectly normally?

Which ones were missing when you looked? I just browsed through a couple of artists, and it appeared as if all titles from the old Fantasy catalog were still there. Allthough, I must admit that I stopped searching after assuring me that this essential Riverside album is still in the Concord catalog...:

The sound clips seem to be working again: *Salut (2000)* *The Soul of Jonas Kullhammar (2001)* *Plays Loud for the People (2002)* Scroll down on this page for a couple of complete live tracks: http://www.moserobie.com/misc.html (There's also a video of "Bebopalulia", though you should be warned that it shows someone impersonating Jonas Kullhammar, rather than Jonas himself... ) A few collaborative project in a somewhat different vein: *Forum Nacka (2002)* *Kullrusk (2004)* (with the excellent alto saxophonist Per "Ruskträsk" Johansson, allthough I prefer both him and Kullhammar non-amplified) *Leve Nacka Forum (2005)*

My connection went down as well. Seems like a serious database problem. Consider yourself lucky to have gotten a quality name! When I searched for Barry Guy, the AMG would rather suggest I was looking for William Bland...

Right now the AMG has gone nuts. Try to search for an artist of your choice: * Link to The All Music Guide *

Well, statistics is statistics.... Allthough I've heard somewhere that mortality among very small children is measuably higher during the autumn, which supposedly will make the percentage of individuals more likely to suffer from poor health lower among those born during that period; the weakest are already gone... *cough*

How many albums titled "Jay & Kai" are there? HMV Japan lists a release from Japanese Columbia for November 23, but it has the following track list: 1 Bernies Tune 2 Lament 3 Blues For Trombones 4 The Major 5 Yesterdays 6 Co-op 7 Reflections 8 Blues In Twos 9 What Is This Thing Called Love 10 The Boy Next Door Cat no: COCB53459

Just realized that the poll said U.S. board members when I had already voted. Sorry! That's my vote at $11... Guess I was confused by the "U.S. dollar values for poll choices" and promptly calculated what 90 Swedish crowns would be in dollars. Unfortunately there's no way of un-voting I guess. It's like in the presidential election...

The Fresh Sound website has the following info about that Lone Hill release:

Thanks, brownie! One day I hope to get my hands on some copies of those originals... Now on the turntable:

The Martial Solal Trio (Milestone MSP 9002) Solal (p); Guy Pedersen (b); Daniel Humair (dr) Tracks: Let's Waltz, Under Paris Skies, Little Doll, Billie's Bounce, Jordu, Aigue-Marine, Vice Versa Very good and challenging stuff from my favorite Solal period! US issue of an early 60s French Columbia album, unsure of the title... Brownie?

Have both Leeway and Dmitry stopped posting here, BTW?

Oh, yes, Jazzshrink - that was the reissue I was thinking of! Sorry for confusing things a bit! And thanks, Jim, for the input! I think I need to try that "New York Rhythm Section" CD after all. And buy a discography...

I believe this reissue is made up from the two Hank Jones albums Here's Love (Argo, 1963) and Swings Gigi (was it on Golden Crest?). 'Here's Love' with Kenny Burrell is splendid, but I've heard some less enthusiastic opinions regarding the other half. Do you think it measures up with the session with Burrell, Jim? On a sidenote, is there any substance in the talk about Fresh Sound reissues being not legit? I've seen the reissue above referred to as a "boot" here on the forums. If they don't have cleared the rights, I can't understand why they're not sued out of business.

Hope you'll have a good time! I went to see him at the jazz festival here in Stockholm a few years ago; a fantastic performance! Allthough there was a very awkward moment when he had to end a solo early to throw a clueless guy who was tuning guitars for the next band off the stage...

I believe Electric Byrd was recorded in between the two sessions that make up Kofi.
