  1. And while I'm posting: the bestest vibes solo ever recorded was played by Jerzy Milian with Ptaszyn Wroblewski on a tune titled "Nana Imboro". Lucky couw found it on a (beaten up) 45 and with some diligence made a more or less clean transfer. The 45 is available as a bonus on the CD "Stan Getz - Jazz Jamboree 1960", sound on this CD isn't to write home about either, so you better click HERE (or here) to listen to the vinyl rip.

  2. Jerzy Milian -- Baazaar

    Polonia Records (Poland), 1969

    An incredible record from Jerzy Milian -- easily one of the hippest vibes players...

    and that assessment -- for once -- applies like the proverbial fist on the eye. I'd just leave off the "in Europe" at the end as the guy is an amazing player. The album is not a mere collection of tunes but has a fantastic flow with some weirdish interludes that do make lots of sense. I'd compare it to Körrössy's MPS album in that respect.

    It's on Muza/Polskie Nagrania, not on Polonia BTW

  3. first google hit leads you to Lateef's homepage:

    "Autophysiopsychic Music: Music which comes from one's physical, mental and spiritual self."

    Lateef is serious about this. His music is not jazz, but Autophysiopsychic Music. He obviously has been thinking about this a lot and I have no doubt he has his reasons for not calling his music jazz. With instant recognition of his music being so widespread, he may have a point, I'd say.

  4. The Wilen family (actually Barney's son) was not involved in the 'Sentiers Qui Bifurquent' CD release!

    just checked the linernotes as I was sure I read this somewhere and there it says: "La musique proposée dans ce CD (et publiée avec l'assentiment de Patrick Wilen) ...", so not involved but in agreement then.

    What a pity this has changed!
