Every day is Bean's day at my place:

Also in the new Rollins thread, like an elephant in a China shop 🤣

Other than the three Bill Evans sets (The Secret Sessions (Recorded At The Village Vanguard 1966-1975), The Last Waltz & Consecration), I don't know of any.

From Peter Losin's Charlie Parker discography: February 5, 1946 (1 item; TT = 2:51) Electro Broadcasting Studio, Glendale CA Commercial for Dial Charlie Parker (as); J.B. "Dizzy" Gillespie (tpt); Eli "Lucky" Thompson (ts); George Handy (p); Arvin Garrison (g); Ray Brown (b); Stan Levey (d) 1 Diggin' Diz (G. Handy) 2:51 Listed as "Bongo Beep" on Dial LP 207 1 Diggin' Diz 78 rpm: Dial 1004 10" LP: Dial LP 207 12" LP: Spotlite SPJ 101 CD: Toshiba/EMI CJ25 5043/6, Toshiba TOCJ 6201/4, Toshiba/Spotlite TOCJ 0001/10, Mosaic MD9-260, Definitive DRCD 11152, Classics 935, ESP-Disk 4050, Frémeaux & Associés FA 1332 This is the only commercial recording of the Billy Berg band with Parker, who failed to show up for the Dial session on February 7 -- at this session Gillespie re-made "Diggin' Diz" and added "Dizzy Atmosphere," "Confirmation," "'Round Midnight," and "When I Grow Too Old To." This session was originally supposed to include Lester Young and Milt Jackson, who never showed up; Thompson and Garrison were recruited at the last minute to take their places. Later in February Parker signed a one-year exclusive contract with Dial.

I was just about starting with disc 1 this morning. Now I'm scared!

Frank Foster on tenor!

R.I.P. For me, it was also the first World Cup for which I learned by heart all lineups. In fact I still can recall a bunch of them: Waldir Peres, Leandro, Oscar, Luizinho, Toninho Cerezo, Júnior, Falçao, Sócrates, Serginho, Zico and Éder. Zico and Sócrates were my idols by then. I also have some remembrances from Argentina '78 and Mario Kempes defeating the Clockwork Orange team, but Spain was different... ... even though I did not attend any of the matches. At that time I was a huge fan of Brazil national team, so I was really disappointed with Italia qualifying for the semifinals and then beating Germany 3-1 in the final. And besides, I have never been very fond of 'catenaccio'. This image of Sandro Pertini celebrating Paolo Rossi's goals is iconic:

Double cd edition.

It arrived in the mail today, together with the Wilen/Montoliu discs. Can’t wait to listen to both new releases.

- Sonny Rollins in Holland (Resonance) - Barney Wilen and Tete Montoliu. Grenoble 1988 (Elemental) Both came in the mail today.

One or two Martial Solal discs have already been mentioned. ANY Martial Solal disc from the 90s is highly recommendable. As for one of his European "peers", check also some Tete Montoliu discs from the 90s. I would start with: - The Music I Like To Play, Vol. 3: Let's Call This (Soul Note) - solo piano - Catalonian Rhapsody (Alfa Jazz) - trio with Hein van de Geyn and Idris Muhammad - Tete Montoliu en El San Juan (Nuevos Medios) - trio plus Stephen Riley (ts), Danny Harper (flg) and Philip Harper (tp) on some tracks - 1995 (Contrabaix) - duo with Javier Colina (b) - Palau de la Musica Catalana.21/3/1997 (DiscMedi Blau) - solo piano

But also "I Wish I Was In NO" or "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)" (which btw is the name of certain FB group dedicated to the music of TW)... What an album!!
