That's much more convincing, of course!

This Crazeology playlist includes all four tracks for this "Black California" Savoy issue: Crazeology

Bertrand: The online version of Tom Lord's discography does include "I'll Remember April" as part of Savoy SJL2215: But take a look at this ebay auction. Unless the information from seller it's not correct, it looks like it's "Outlandish" the track edited out from this Savoy two-lp compilation: ebay auction Regards, Agustín

I will post this tonight. Sadly, for the number of posts in this thread, it looks like there's not much interest on good old Johnny!

I am looking for the complete and detailed discographical information from: Jean Loup Longnon Big Band - Torride! (52e Rue Est LP, catalog number RE 003, issued on 1984) I already have what Tom Lord's Discography (on-line version) lists, so any additional information is highly welcome. Thanks in advance! Agustín

I've done a new count this morning: 282 discs. My insanity grows every month (my wife would say).

Got it. That was a great deal! THANKS!

There's a very good article by Jack Chambers about Duke Ellington's stockpile recordings on Coda #328 (July-August, 2006): “Duke Ellington's Parallel Universe: The Secret Stockpile"

Apart from vol. 13 of the DETS series, the email I got from Storyville also announced the release of: http://www.storyvillerecords.com/default.a...mp;state_2838=2 Good news indeed!

Just received an email from Storyville announcing the release of vol. 13 of the DETS series: http://www.storyvillerecords.com/default.a...mp;state_2837=2

Mike: for several reasons, I'm afraid I won't be able to compile the August 2008 BFT. Please, move me to the end of the list. Regards, Agustín

Louis Mazetier's last album on Arbors, "Tributes, portraits & other stories" is an absolute masterpiece. It features not only stride numbers (wonderful rendition of "Anitra's Dance", of Lion's "Sneakaway"...) but shows a wider range of piano playing. Mazetier has matured as a pianist and proves his taste on several ballads (wonderful high note punctuations, good use of space, sense of timing), but also as a composer (besides his classics "François" -rendition to the late François Rilhac- and "Tango Seville", he brings some interesting new compositions). Highly recommended!!!
