hello, i´m a fan of sean jones since i heard and saw him two times in concert a few years ago here in germany in a little jazz club with the frank delle international quintett. sean jones is down beat jazz performance award winner 2000. he has a power that reminds me of clifford brown. at that concerts here in münster (a little town in the west of germany, near the dutch frontier) he was playing wonderful hard-bop (or is the name neo-bop?). if you don´t know him, look for his name. i´m sure he will make it in the future. my wife is a photographer and she took some nice pictures from the concert. there is also a german cd with the frank delle group called "confined freedom" (also jones´ composition) from 2001. (i think his first where he is featured). so, if you have the chance to see and hear him... go! (by the way: he is a good photo motive (especially in action)). anything to say more? go and hear mr. sean jones!!! here is a link about sean jones from another list: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=2093 keep (neo-)boppin´ marcel

hi, the trumpet solo on the georgie auld track "co-pilot" from march 28. 1945 is definitly dizzy gillespie and not freddie webster! it´s also on the masters of jazz cd mjcd 110 volume 5 in the gillespie serie (media 7). solos are dizzy, auld and tony aless,p,. it´s a typical dizzy solo. you can hear some of his typical signatures. btw there are more freddie webster sessions with the following leaders (according to bruyninckx discography): louis jordan 1941 sabby lewis 1944 johnny powell 1947 billy eckstine 1944 billie holiday 1944 and "it is said that he recorded in the late 40´s with a large band, details are lacking. freddie webster, tp, wade marcus, tb, tadd dameron, arr, (?)" anybody knows more about that?? is there any chance to get the mentioned cd-r(s) with the "complete" freddie webster? keep boppin´ marcel

congratulations! when you have finished the reading, maybe let us know about the novel here at organissimo. thanks. keep boppin´ marcel

yes, the book is by john a. williams "night song" (1961). the main character was called richie stokes "the eagle". williams the "black balzac" (new york times) writes about "live and dead of a black jazz musician full of pain, indignation and deep liking" (james baldwin). bird lives or the eagle flies! keep boppin´ marcel

this short film of charlie parker was shown in a documentary by jan horne from norwegian television in 1990. it shows also the hot house sequence with dizzy and the close up of bird´s face of norman granz´ "improvisation". (i think the entire film was not known in 1990). together with chan parker, harlod jefta (saxist, who can play every parker solo) and harvey cropper (who taught bird to paint in oils) they met in chan´s house in champmotteux. i think this film was (or is) avaiable on the kjazz lable (vhs). keep boppin´ marcel

bird on film hello bird lovers. there are three films with charlie parker: 1. the famouse hot house with dizzy gillespie 2. the norman granz jazz at the philharmonic "trailer" improvisation with coleman hawkins (ballad) and in trio (celebrity) and most rare 3.some short silent bird sitting on a table writing autographs on little cards or pieces of paper. front. handling with his sax. from oblique above and from behind. only his hands. very short movie. it is from november. 21. 1950 from the warm-up room in the concert hall in gothenburg. sweden. it was taken by bo tak. 16 at the time and later film photographer for sweden television. it´s a 16-mm silent film clip about one minute long showing parker both as he warms up and as he signs autographs. does any of you bird afficionados knows more films with bird? keep boppin´ marcel
