These Venus CDs by Charlap are all excellent - better than the Blue Notes IMHO. Excellent sound, playing & production values. Get 'em if you can. The Washingtons are on at least one of them. Bill Stewart is the drummer on another.
-
Needs to be on CD.
-
The other one is "It Just Got To Be". I ordered both of them.
-
All good choices. I'd add Phineas Newborn.

Oct. 3-19. Nice lineup. http://www.santafejazzfestival.com

Poor Woody. What a life. I miss hearing new playing from him. Looking forward to the previously unissued Hill. Recently managed to find the 2CD set Bemsha Swing. Amazing!!

I thought you needed a root canal.

Yeah - I see them now. Everyone should get The Great Jazz Trio: Autumn Leaves when it comes out. It's a "killer". Interesting that CBS / Sony passed on some of these & an "independent" picked them up.

My wife & I have visited Santa Fe since 1970. Live here full time for the last several years. Yes, there have been changes - but, overall I wouldn't want to be anyplace else. The food overall is great in both the trendy & non-trendy restaurants. All depends on what you like.

The first I've heard of 441 records. Are they going to release other originally Japanese issues? What are the sound & other production values like?
-
As Cedric the comedian once said in a commercial, "it ain't that bad". Not many chances to hear Chambers or Bartz these days, so I feel it's worth getting.
-
I'm enjoying it too. Friedman is one of those "underrated" pianists IMHO. You'll need to pop for the 88's Japanese issue. It sounds great. I doubt that Columbia / Sony will ever issue it in the U.S..
-
Belden's Turandot is a great CD. I was lucky enough to have someone bring a copy back for me from Japan when it was first issued. $75 - wow!

Valdo Williams: "New Advanced Jazz" (Savoy, 1966)
jlhoots replied to Rooster_Ties's topic in Artists
I have this in a Japanese mini-LP format (COCB 50614). 4 original Williams compositions (44 minutes total playing time). Recorded Dec. 20, 1966. Intricate trio interplay. Not sure what happened to him. He appeared to be trying to extend beyond be-bop conventions. I like it. -
I like the Venus / Sunnyside issues. He also has some excellent CDs on Reservoir (a label I see rarely discussed).

Duke Ellington's JUMP FOR JOY
jlhoots replied to ghost of miles's topic in Offering and Looking For...
I tried to sell this on the old BNBB a year or so ago, & nobody wanted it. Now that I donated it & don't have it, there's interest. So it goes. -
What Do You Do? What Have You Done?

I'm a retired physician. Practiced medicine for 30 years. Do pretty much whatever I want to now. Love jazz, movies, books, art in general. -
Whoa!! Never saw that "cover" before.
-
Give 2 Degrees East, 3 Degrees West a spin in memoriam. His playing is just gorgeous on it.
-
I just listened to The Dark Tree set, & McBee is certainly a vital contibutor to that quartet.
-
I know I'll get grief from someone about this, but why don't you just buy the Fresh Sounds CDs from Cadence??
-
I take it all (or at least most of it) back. Got 5 out of 7. Didn't get the IAI Bley / Gilmore & Air Mail. Since my original order was over $50, they didn't charge shipping even though the total wound up under $50.
-
Still haven't heard anything about my order. I'll resist the obvious 2 word profanity, but how long does it take to hear from these guys??? Never ordered from them before. Might not order again. Let's see what the "fill" % is.
