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.

Back in 2007, during my Tete Montoliu research, I found some sources mentioning a jam session that may have taken place in Copenhagen, October 25, 1963, at the Montmartre Jazzhus, with John Coltrane and members of his ensemble joining the Roland Kirk Quartet after Trane's appearance at the Tivolis Koncertsal. Thanks to the research carried out by Jan Søttrup through the archives of Danish newspapers and magazines from that year, I came to know that neither Birger Jorgensen in Politiken, Eric Wiedemann in Information, Torben Ulrich in B.T. nor any other newspaper mentioned anything about a jam session with Roland Kirk and John Coltrane at the Montmartre after Coltrane's concert at the Tivolis. Jan also contacted Anders Stefansen, who booked both the John Coltrane concert and the Roland Kirk performance at the Montmartre, and he rejected this possibility completely, as did John Tchicai of the New York Contemporary Five (and friendly with John Coltrane back then). But since 2007, I have found new references to this possible jam session, to be precise in the Discography and the Chronology of the John Coltrane Reference book by Lewis Porter, Chris DeVito, Yasuhiro Fujioka and Wolf Schmaler (p. 287 & 695). It looks like the primary source is Downbeat ("Copenhagen", Dec. 5, 1963, p. 43), which took the data from the Berlingske Tidende, October 26, 1963, 11 (review "Arets Coltrane: Den traditionnelle koncert i Tivoli med en af jazzens fornyere" by "Nius") and from Mitsuo Johfu. The Coltrane Reference book gives this Kirk-Trane jam session as an irrefutable fact, with no mentions of "reportedly" or "possibly". So I contacted Alex Riel, drummer in the Roland Kirk Quartet, and his reply was: I would appreciate any further information or comments, specially from Danish members who may have been jazz nuts at that time... Thanks in advance and Happy New Year! Agustín Pérez Madrid

Although I have no insider information, we can most surely state with certainty that they're doing it the right way, this is, paying to the rightholders... or have you ever seen an Andorran emporium publicly presenting a new label in a press release? So, let's not bother about minimum details (covers, info from the website!!!) and let's congratulate we're getting more Ellington, more Goodman, more Adderley... live material!
