    Can anyone recommend (or otherwise) any other titles?
  2. IMO, Morgan often sounded like a musical con man after he stopped functioning as one in the world at large. I also saw some personal behavior on his part toward talented fellow musicians that was so outrageous that it led the normally benign Wilbur Campbell to tell him off. Willie Pickens, also part of the rhythm section on that gig, knew Morgan from their youthful days together in Milwaukee and explained (not an exact quote, but the gist of what he said): "Frank was an insecure punk back then, and he still is."

    Not someone for the "Nice Guy Musician" thread then..........

  3. Consider enjoying "Peter the Great" by Pete Brown featuring Joe Wilder on trumpet. It is available on the Verse reissues out of Japan. The album was made nearly sixty years ago, very pretty music.

    Can't seem to find this. Do you have a link, Baker?

  4. I just noiced this at CDJapan:

    XQAM-1614.jpg?v=1

    ...looks interesting.

    I picked up the Pied Piper Japanese CD. It's a needle drop from an Lp. I guess the master tapes are missing in action. It would be cool if the original Heider multitracks were located and the complete show was remixed and issued.

    Oh dear, I just ordered it! Is the sound awful?

    The sound is ok for a needle drop. It's a Wally Heider recording so it was well engineered. You will hear slight LP surface noise on some tracks if you listen on headphones. Also, the original producer of the album had the stupid, cringeworthy idea of fading out "Walk On By" and then concurrently fading up post-production overdubbed applause over the musical fade out. Wilson's performances are of a high caliber, but one soon pines for the complete sets, remixed from the multis after hearing this Lp dub. A remix would also rescue the material from the stupid original production decisions and fade outs on some tracks. If the Heider multi-tracks still exist, one one presume they might contain unissued performances of other Wilson songs.

    This YouTube clip will give you an idea of the overall sound quality, although it's a compressed mp3 so the CD sounds a bit better. A very exciting rendition of Coltrane's "Impressions:"

    Many thanks for that, monkboughtlunch.

    I like Jack Wilson a lot so l won't cancel my order

    I was looking on the Cam Jazz site to find out whether this was available as a lossless download, only to find that there's no reference to it, or even Kenny Wheeler, anywhere on the site.

    Anyone know why?

    this seems to work :

    http://www.camjazz.com/labels/cam-jazz/kenny-wheeler/8052405141095-six-for-six-cd.html

    So it does...?????...thanks, soulpope.

    I wonder whether the site was being updated or something when I tried using it...ah, well.

    BTW the download is dearer than the CD... strange.
