It has disappeared from the forum. Overload?

Not sure if this has already been mentioned: In the Candid CD version of "Charles Mingus ‎– Presents Charles Mingus" (Candid ‎– CCD 79005, ℗ © 1997 Candid Productions Ltd. on disk itself), the booklet (which supposedly is a reprint of the original LP) gives wrong personnel on its back page: Booker Ervin instead of Eric Dolphy. Correct personnel is on the reissue back cover.

Tete Montoliu's "Acuarela" is a very impresionistic boppish line, not based on a specific painting (to my knowledge), but very reminiscent of impresionist painting, I would say.

Tete Montoliu Trio: Concentric EP 7": R-13 — Calafat [promotional record] (1966)

As for the 1979 engagement, and according the available sources, the most likely calender was: July 9-14, 1979 - Ronnie Scott's, London - TM (p) & Joe Pass (g) July 15, 1979 - North Sea Jazz Festival, Faya Lobbi Zaal, The Hague - TM (p) July 16-22, 1979 - Ronnie Scott's, London - TM (p) An additional concert in the Capital Radio Jazz Festival in the North of London was also mentioned in La Vanguardia (7 July 1979 issue).

First post edited to add info I somehow skipped when starting this thread.

Thanks a lot for the Bimhuis reference, Niko. I already had the 1990 date, but the Joe Henderson 1981 gig is a new addition to the itinerary of the European tour of the quartet. Already checked the National Jazz Archive; Crecendo and Jazz News article are really interesting. Thanks for the Kirk info, brownie. At that very same time Tete was in a very long engagement at the Whisky Jazz in Madrid, with Pedro Iturralde, Eric Peter y Peer Wyboris. Great to see you around when returning to these forums!

As part of my revived Tete Montoliu Chronology project, I am currently trying to sort out all his concerts at Ronnie Scott's in London. I have already tried to contact the club's management several times, which has proven unsuccessful. Any help from members with access to UK jazz magazines, The Times or any other British periodical is most appreciated (@sidewinder maybe) From different sources, this is what I have gathered so far: * January 1977: two weeks engagement, starting on 17 January and ending on 30 January, as part of an European tour with George Coleman According to the interview with Tete published in Quàrtica Jazz #1 (April 1981), they started playing with a local rhythm section, but they ended up playing as a duo, since they were not very happy with bassist and drummer. The Stage (13 January issue, with calls for the week starting on 17 January; and 20 January issue, same for the week starting on 24 January) only lists George Coleman/Tete Montoliu, also mentioning Marian Williams, most likely as a different act. Review by Miles Kington, published in the 24 January issue of The Times, mentions Ronnie Matthewson on bass and Martin Drew on drums. * June 1977: two weeks engagement, starting on 13 June and ending on 26 June According to the review published in The Times (14 June issue), he was supposed to play as a trio, but finally played as a duo with bassist Peter Ind: "Ronnie Scott's had somehow mislaid its drummer, but the pianist showed no evidence of pining for the prompting one might have provided. Nor did he seemed greatly to rely on the impetus of Peter Ind a willing but somehow four square bassist, trusting instead to the inspiration of his own sudden and trenchant bass patterns" However, in the aforementioned interview for Quàrtica Jazz, he mentions he got back to Ronnie Scott's in mid-1977 to play solo (Tete's remembrances didn't use to be the most accurate anyway). * May/June 1978: one week (?) engagement, starting on 29 May He must have finished by 2 June, since on 3 June he was playing at the Jazz Cava in Terrassa for certain, as a trio with bassist Manuel Elías and drummer Ramón Farrán. * July 1979, one week engagement starting on 9 July: duo with Joe Pass Listings in The Stage (5 July issue) confirm this engagement. Tete recalls playing for twelve consecutive days as a duo with Joe Pass and The Stage (12 July issue) also lists Tete, without Joe Pass, for the following week. However, this does not match with the rest of the timeline I have unearthed so far, since he played at the North Sea Jazz Festival on 15 July. Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia mentions several additional gigs in London and its surroundings, but no specifics discovered yet, except for a trio engagement with Herbie Lewis and Billy Higgins ca. October 1979.

Has any board member ever tried to shop directly from Copenhagen's Jazzhus Montmartre website? I tried to place an order and got an error message, along these lines: "Shipment is not possible to that destination" (google translation from Danish). Any similar experience around here? Thanks in advance

Really appreciated, sidewinder! I haven't been in touch with him for a while. Will contact him to see if he has got additional info in the meantime.

Thanks for your reply. I have to check my files, but I have listed October 1 so far, based on my previous research. Do you have any primary source? Stan Tracey on piano. That would confirm that Tete did not leave the continent for the UK, contradicting some second-hand sources. Or, at least, not as part of the RRK Quartet.
