EKE BBB

That very good news, Augustín. I was hoping that it was just in a long slumber, which is why I kept the Mule link on my own blog. Thanks, Chris. Some Bessie Smith content coming... stay tuned!

The wealth and quality of the information/documentation about early jazz on this blog is truly amazing: http://the78rpmrecordspins.wordpress.com/

My mule is walking again, this is... I've brought my Mule Walk jazz blog back to life!

Just received the email from Mona. The box-set is officially out! http://www.storyvillerecords.com/products/the-king-jazz-records-story-1088611-1

Same on Rust.

New York Age, June 13, 1956: Long Beach Independant, June 26, 1953: From Dorothy Kilgallen's column in the Lowell Sun (June 27, 1953), "Tops in Town" section:

PM and email sent your way.

Have they ever competed, i.e., released the same album? Yes. Complete Felsted boxed set. http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/the_complete_stanley_dance_felsted_mainstream_jazz_recordings_1958-1959_9-cd_box_set-cd-5596.html http://www.jazzmessengers.com/category2661/VARIOUS-ARTISTS-SOLAR-RECORDS-THE-COMPLETE-FELSTED-MAINSTREAM-COLLECTION-97290

Given that, according to the uploader, it's a live concert in Japan from 1963, the group could be either Takeshi Inomata and his West Liners or Toshiyuki Miyama & The All Star Orchestra, in both cases with Bob Corwin on piano. This is probably ripped off from "Anita O'Day - Live In Tokyo '63": On the possible tenor saxophone player, Ichiro Mimori was part of the Takeshi Inomata orchestra during the 60's.

Solar Records is part of the Definitive/Disconforme emporium, which is a DIFFERENT ONE THAN the Fresh Sound Records group.

FWIW, here's the album Chris was referring to:

I read the draft for the Freddie Keppard chapter a few years ago -and tried myself to help Dan with the Spanish origins of the Tio family- and they have kept up to their own quality standards (in terms of thorough research, graphic material and layout). :tup

Doubt that a book will ever see the light. Not sure there is enough of a market for a top quality volume of jazz photos which is what I would want. What I would not want would be to have one of those photo books with badly reproduced images. Organissimo = 4.000+ members There would be a market for it!

Thanks for sharing those photos, brownie! :tup

Free improvisers making noise out of a saxophone!

But you gotta love the "fat thing" at the beginning...

Hope you meet the goal!

Lance Armstrong's seven Tour de France victories won't be re-attributed to other riders says Christian Prudhomme A seven years gap will be created in the history of the winners of the Tour de France. Wise decission, IMHO (rare thing when we're talking about the infamious Christian Prudhomme). I'm curious to know if the defenders of Armstrong in this board have something to say once the USADA report is published. What was obvious for every aficionado and common knowledge among cyclers is now wide open to the public light.

This CD hits the stores on Tuesday!

:tup I must go to Paris again before the closing date!
