I hope you'll cross La Roja's path

Never thought a Tommy Ladnier bio would be so much discussed in this board... even before it's been read!

He also had to cancel his concert in the Barcelona Jazz Festival (Luz de Gas club) and has announced that his upcoming European Tour will probably be cancelled.

You keep me salivating, brownie. This will be the following book to read when I finish the Monk bio.

Yes, brownie, Dan Vernhettes just reported so.

Absolutely superb article, Hans!!!! Thanks a lot, Agustín

Joyeux anniversaire, mon ami!

Here's the info on Tete Montoliu's performances from my files (strictly confidential ) : I guess that what is being published is the "Blues" from July 11.

Millions of thanks for the info, brownie! One track from Tete Montoliu's performance will be released.

@EKE BBB: You mentioned earlier a chapter from this book has been published in the IAJRC journal. Was this an unabridged, unchanged excerpt of the book? (I assume you have seen the entire book too) If it was in fact reprinted more or less verbatim then I'd say what's good enough for the IAJRC can't be that bad. I'll check the two issues of the IAJRC journal tonight but, from memory, I think it was an unchanged excerpt of the book. And no, I haven't put my hands on the book yet; I ordered it yesterday.

Good points, BBS. BTW, for me, this Ladnier bio is, at least, as essential as the Navarro book.

You'll have to rush, brownie. Notice that is a limited edition of 500 copies... and this book has already been announced in several traditional jazz circles (i.e. the RedHotJazz yahoo group, the 78 rpm mail list...).

Plus you can order, additionally, a CD with Ladnier's 189 known sides (mp3 files).

"Traveling Blues: The Life And Music of Tommy Ladnier" by Bo Lindström & Dan Verhettes has just been published by Jazz'Edit in a limited edition of 500 copies. http://www.jazzedit.org/Traveling-blues.html I have read the Fletcher Henderson chapter, which was published in the two latest IAJRC Journals (Vol.42 nº2 - June 2009 & Vol.42 nº3 - September 2009), and it combines outstanding biographical research and thorough musical analysis. The book should be a must-read!

Amazing issue for scientifics: bird mutates into rabbit!
