vol. 14 arrived yesterday. it´s great as always. liner notes by scott kishbaugh. there is a sarcastic remark about the author´s relations: "he has loved the music of duke ellington madly for about 25 years, a passion unfortunately not shared by his family." what a broadside!! keep boppin´ marcel

the artie shaw thesaurus transcriptions cd on the hep label is out now. unfortunately there is no mention of it on the hep web site. i ordered it via jpc. i heard that the hep label has problems but i hope that they bring us more wonderful music in the future! keep boppin´ marcel

Wow!!! Thanks for the information of the Hep cd coming out, I didn't hear that. You're right, that is very exciting news. looking for this "thesaurus transcription" cd on the "hep" website but there is no mention on it. i ordered it via jpc. i heard that "hep" has problems but i hope that they bring us more wonderful music in the future. keep boppin´ marcel

here´s a funny basie fake: enjoy the unique swing of the basie band.... keep boppin´ marcel

yes, me, too! on the schaap re-issued cd the time for "i got rhythm" is giving as 4:51. no time is given on the old double-lp from columbia. (have to compare them with a clock.) keep boppin´ marcel

and the live concert is recorded in stereo!!! this must be one of the first stereo live recordings. i would also vote for 1953. hear also the m.c. at the end were he mentioned george shearing with cal tjader and toots thielemans. a great recording! keep boppin´ marcel

that´s amazing! that can reduce the high costs of cigarets..... keep boppin´ marcel

the bass player is ed mckimmey. this photo is from an afrs command performance #140 from september 30. 1944. (and not 1953 as mentioned at the hampton side). the all-american jam session. they play "honeysuckle rose". you can hear this historic recording here: http://www.archive.org/details/CommandPerformance look for the performance with Deanna Durbin, Jack Benny, Ginger Rogers. "honeysuckle rose" starts around 11:00 minutes. keep boppin´ marcel

happy birthday, jsngry, and all the best! keep boppin´ marcel

she can´t play bass but i like her very much... keep boppin´ marcel

just listen to it and it´s wonderful! always with this "gerald wilson touch" that´s very special!! keep boppin´ marcel

don´t forget the "swapping horn" session from poss. during april 1947 (other sources say poss. ca. 1945) where charlie parker and allen eager swope horns on one tune. it´s on the wonderful "uptown" allen eager "in the land of oo-bla-dee"! keep boppin´ marcel

to bring back this wonderful pianist: enjoy: http://www.ina.fr/video/I09285969/martial-...fatigue.fr.html keep boppin´ marcel

That's a milestone indeed. I have the 27-tracks-LP-twofer from the Swedish "Jazz Society" label (AA 520/521) with beautiful pictures (Jack Towers), and informative liners by Eddie Lambert. The sound is superb, and the only pity is, that Cootie had left the band short before these recordings were made. http://jazz.com/encyclopedia/williams-cootie-charles-melvin How many tracks are on the CD's? I had a very cheap bootleg once, with some more tracks from that evening (remember a bass feature on "A Train"). But the sound was lower than low-fi, and so I sold it. there is no "a train" on the fargo session. my two cds on the swiss (?) "milan" label has 50 tracks. some are fragments (under 10 seconds) and 6 "chaser" of only a few seconds and one "unknown title" (9 seconds) only. it seems that this milan issue came direct from the vintage jazz classics. sound is excellent! keep boppin´ marcel

the billy berg´s acetates are wonderful! in "52nd street theme" bird quotes "sly mongoose" ( seven years before the recording at the rockland palace ballroom!) and "tico tico". this is t h e billy berg gig that brings the new music to the west coast. the tracks are short but bird plays with such a power it blows you away. a historic recording!!! for me one of my "desert island" recordings! recorded by billy berg on two 10" presto acetates. the rest is slim gaillard and harry the hipster gibson in bad sound performing the hit of the day "cement mixer" and "harry the hipster theme" (all without bird and diz). i suppose the source of this release (on Philology Volume 62 (W 893) and complete on philology volume 73 (w 904) is one of phil schaap´s radio broadcast on wkcr. a must for all bird aficionados!!!!! keep boppin´ marcel

My VHS rip (30 minutes long, a french TV broadcast from the early 1990s) is still available on Dailymotion (I'm not the uploader): http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1c3z_coleman-hawkins_music thanks for the link! that´s cool!! here is what meeker said: COLEMAN HAWKINS Belgium 1962 – m – tv dir Yannick Bruynoghe Songs: "Blowing for Sax"; "Disorder at the border" by Coleman Hawkins; "South of France blues"; "Hawk hunt". With: Coleman Hawkins, tenor sax; George Arvanitas, piano; Mickey Baker, guitar; Jimmy Woode, acoustic double bass; Kansas Fields, drums. Recorded in Brussels, Belgium. keep boppin´ marcel

that sounds if it´s the "uptown" release "jamestown, n.y., 1958" with ted donnelly on trombone at the chi sigma chi high school fraternity sweetheart dacnce at hotel jamestown april 19. (what a name....) on what bootleg label you have this? keep boppin´ marcel
