EKE BBB

does anybody know where i can find this footage? Guess Lon's talking about THIS.

Tete would have been 74 today. It's been exactly 10 years since he passed. We still miss you, meu amic !!!

Though he's not my cup of tea, Spanish guitarist Ximo Tebar has a very respectable career and has recorded with the likes of Lou Bennett or Dr. Lonnie Smith (his favorite ensemble is the groovy guitar+organ+drums one). His discography (with a few mp3 samples) can be checked here: http://www.jazzspain.net/web/ximotebar/xtdiscos.htm Best regards, Agustín

From a very recent thread on this album:

A few Spanish pianists I can recommend: -Albert Bover -Albert Sanz -Iñaki Salvador -Lluis Coloma (mostly blues and boogie woogie) -Abe Rábade -Agustí Fernández (free improvisation)

David: that's not Mike Fitzgerald's site, but the Japanese discographical project. Here's the link to Mike's website: Jazz Discography Website

Same here!

Oh, I didn't mean to offend you!

Just read that Bear Family has acquired the complete Sesac transcriptions catalogue (more than 7.500 songs, covering classical material, easy listening, country music, southern gospel, Hawaiian music, polka bands & more). Some of the jazz sessions: Count Basie, Duke Ellington (March 27, 1959), Chico Hamilton, Coleman Hawkins, Woody Herman, Marian McPartland, Sy Oliver, Don Redman, Billy Taylor, Joe Venuti... And they have decided to reissue all the Sesac material on the "and-more-bears" line.... though as downloads, not CDs.

As this new edition of Timner still hasn't a list of releases for each track/session, I think I'll skip this one and stick to my 4th edition... and save money to pick Massagli/Volonté's "New DESOR", which is the reference work at this point.

Will do, Marty. Thanks for the hint.

Yep. That's in the Acknowledgements section of his "Celebrating Bird: The Triumph of Charlie Parker" book.

The Original Hot Five Recordings of Louis Armstrong by Gene H. Anderson, edited by Michael J. Budds ISBN: 978-1-57647-120-3 Price (US Funds): $32.00 paper, CD included Published: June, 2007 Series: CMS Sourcebooks in American Music Vol. 3 Status: In Press Pendragon No.: 592 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Between 1925 and 1928 the Hot Five—the incomparable Louis Armstrong and four seasoned practitioners of the burgeoning jazz style—recorded fifty-five performances in Chicago for the OKeh label. Oddly enough, the quintet immortalized on vinyl with recent technology rarely performed as a unit in local nightspots. And yet, like other music now regarded as especially historic, their work in the studio summarized approaches of the past and set standards for the future. Remarkable both for popularity among the members of the public and for influence on contemporary musicians, these recordings helped make "Satchmo" a familiar household name and ultimately its bearer an adored public figure. They showcased Armstrong's genius, notably his leadership in transforming the practice of jazz as an ensemble improvisation into jazz as the art of the improvising soloist. In his study Professor Anderson-for the first time-provides a detailed account of the origins of this pioneering enterprise, relates individual pieces to existing copyright deposits, and contextualizes the music by offering a reliable timeline of Armstrong's professional activities during these years. All fifty-five pieces, moreover, are described in informed commentary.

Up!

Yes! Saw him a couple of months ago, piano solo, and it was a great concert. His playing was fresher and his approach to standards more exploratory than ever. Of course, his mastery and virtuosity at the keyboard were intact. And above all, he looked jovial, cheerful and funny like a youngster. For those who can read Spanish, here's the review of that concert at Tomajazz, by Arturo Mora: http://www.tomajazz.com/conciertos/2007/05...l_solal_upm.htm

If any member has this Complete New Yorker DVD edition, I'd be very grateful if he/she could do me a favour (small research). Please contact me at ekebbbapg@yahoo.es Thanks in advance! Agustín
