... which actually is a 10" LP with 8 tracks including the 5 that Marcel mentions (I am not aware of an EP but it may have existed). The Swiss pressing more accessible to you is on the ExLibris label. The German Opera (record club) label pressing isn't extremely rare so maybe the ExLibris one isn't either? The 4-CD box I mentioned offers a wider variety, of course. right, big beat steve, it´s not an ep, it´s a 10" lp with the tracks i´ve mentioned plus "six kicks", "headache" and "jump easy". called "the hazy osterwald show" and the nr. is 3401 (aufnahme des grammoclub ex libris zürich). keep boppin´ marcel

that´s true, he was more into the jazz"field" as for example hans "james" last or ernst mosch i have a wonderful ep on "opera-europäischer phonoclub" with his sextet (recordings from 1954) with tracks like "st. louis blues", "bach goes to town", "undecided", "star dust" and "cherokee". i think they are also on the cd-box you´ve mentioned. when i speak of "commercial" i was refering to the link in the first post where they mentioned the "kriminal-tango" and other "pop" and "novelty-tunes". and they are of high quality, of course! keep boppin´ marcel

he was maybe one of the last musicians who played with charlie parker (1949 paris). before he get "commercial" he made good jazz records (for example "perdido" from 1949 with flavio ambrosetti, ernst höllerhagen, toots thielemans, francis cuppieters, sonny lang and gil cuppini). i saw him a few years ago here live in concert. he was full of energy and you don´t saw his illness of parkinson (maybe because he was playing the vibes.....) sorry bad joke. but i was amazed that he played jazz (swing) and not his commercial hit tunes. rip hazy! keep boppin´ marcel

good news, hardbopjazz, please informe us here if you know more! keep boppin´ marcel

coming back to bird at the rockland palace: the first issue of the complete concert (it was not a club date but a large dance hall) was in 1996 by jazz classic records. all performances are with correctly issued for the first time, running at propper pitch & correct key. it was done by doug pomeroy. they used the two known different sources and put them together. so we have a "true" stereo version of bird playing "lester leaps in"! i don´t know if this 2 cd set is still on the market. keep boppin´ marcel

thanks for the info, big beat steve! it looks good to have the whole collection at one place together! keep boppin´ marcel

happy birthday, noj, and all the best to you! keep boppin´ marcel

If you want to fool any site into thinking you're in the U.S., use Hotspot Shield, a free VPN download that will assign an IP address somewhere in Pennsylvania. I use it all the time when I'm traveling to access Pandora, Netflix, etc. thanks will try it maybe. keep boppin´ marcel

cd 15: produced by aubrey mayhew. who is that? i was always sure it was produced by ross russell for dial. cd 30: it seems that not all the tracks are from carnegie hall, of that given date. keep boppin´ marcel

oh, shit. here in germany it´s not possible to see this clips on youtube. they say it´s not avaiable because it contains music that is not paid from youtube to the gema. (the "german music control company"). has something to do with copyright. keep boppin´ marcel

and here you can see coleman hawkins solo: the first four minutes are alone! it´s called "dali" or "blowing for sax". it´s from 1962, so this is hawkins´ fourth sax-solo (to my knowledge): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1c3z_coleman-hawkins_music keep boppin´ marcel

going back to the beginnings: gene sedric: "saxophone doodle" (may 1937) (the first solo saxophone ever?) charlie parker: "honeysuckle rose into body and soul" (ca. may/nov. 1940) another first, bird´s first record! coleman hawkins: "the man i love" (nov. 1955 - live!) (the third solo by hawk!) keep boppin´ marcel

fine, depressing, photos, jsngry! i think it´s the undergoing sun behind of the building shining through the windows. my favourite version of "auld lang syne" is the version by the roy kral-jackie cain sextet from 1949 on atlantic!! keep boppin´ marcel

looks like jackie chan but i like more jackie & roy or charlie chan. keep boppin´ marcel

i was in my teens when i first heard "st. louis blues" from the arcadia ballroom, september 2, 1939. what a tempo and the vocal. the band swings like mad. i vote for this from his best band he ever had. keep boppin´ marcel

(12:03) Jazz Band EB-418,EBCD 2101-2 Notes: This date was earlier titled Miles Davis All Stars, but the trumpet player is not Miles Davis, but Art Farmer. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to identify the other musicians. Miles Davis is mentioned at the end of the title in an advertisment for a concert held November 29 at ’The Mosque Theatre’ in Newark i have also this cd but never noticed the absend of miles. keep boppin´ marcel
