Amazing find! Uptown always surprises us with incredible discoveries, properly treated soundwise and with extensive research that turns into excellent and massive liner notes with plenty of graphical documentation. :tup

Amazing stuff, Chris! Thanks for sharing. I hope that, in following chapters, he will tell something about his stays in Spain in 1926 and 1929 as part of his Europeans tours. I am doing extensive research on the chronology and details of this part of his life through the archives of several Spanish newspapers and radio stations. BTW, have you contacted the Jazz Oracle troupe? They're preparing a Sam Wooding compilation with his European recordings and your interviews could be an essential research tool.

I will check my copy tonight!

Do you have any proof? The guys at the TAS don't, either. Listening to the stupidity in itself yesterday (I mean Prudhomme, of course) made me definitely sick. OK, I will say it. I'm not impartial this time. On one hand, because Contador is one of my personal sports heroes, up there with Rafa Nadal and Pau Gasol. On the other, because I have some inside information, that makes me strongly believe in his innocence.

This is a f***in' shame, period!, when "others whose name I won't mention" are free of charges. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Wonderful photographs, brownie!

Here is a copy of an e-mail from Scott E. Brown, the biographer of James P. Johnson. He seeks information from fans or musicians who saw JPJ in live performance and would like to include personal anecdotes of those performances in his 2nd edition: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I am the biographer of James P.

Haven't found any general thread dedicated to this truly original musician, neither as part of the Ellington troupe nor as a leader... so it's about time! Opinions? Favourite recordings? Just to start things out, here's Rex in Berlin, 1948, from the record "Jazz in Deutschland" (Blue Song, LP 94327-416): (from Ehsan Khoshbakht's very interesting jazz blog, "Take The A Train")

I also feel very nervous with those Ukrainian girls staring at my face from the bottom of the page...

I have been trying to sort out the detailed chronology of both Tete Montoliu tours in Japan, 1977 (trio with NHOP and Tootie Heath) and 1991 (solo piano). Thanks to Hiroshi Tanno, who checked the back issues of Swing Journal for me, the 1977 tour is most probably complete, but regarding the 1991 tour, I just have: From June 24, 1991 to June 29, 1991 Keystone Korner Tokyo (Tokyo) June 26, 1991 VS Video Sunmall (Tokyo) - Concord recording According to Tete Montoliu's autobiography, the 1991 tour "lasted for almost one month, solo piano, just theaters, and every concert was recorded". As I've written before, Tete was not always reliable in his interviews regarding information from gigs and recordings, but there may be more concerts in that tour. Any help from Japanese (or from elsewhere, of course!) members would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Agustín Pérez Madrid

Millions of thanks for your reply, Victor. It confirms definitely that there was not such a jam session. Probably Trane was in the audience at the Montmartre and that prompted the Downbeat journalist to inflate the news! Best regards, A

You're welcome, Flurin. Of course, it's J.C. Moses and not Bob Moses. I transcribed Alex Riel's reply literally and should have mentioned his mistake.
