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.

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

Up! List updated on first post.

These are the Jazz Podium issues I am looking for (bold letters for those you probably have, according to your list): Jazz Now/Jazz Podium, 1972, p. 38-41 Jazz Podium, 21/8 (Aug.1972), p. 38, 40-41 (guess it's the same issue as the previous one) Jazz Podium, 30/3 (Mar.1981), p. 23 Jazz Podium, 34/2 (Feb.1985), p. 36-37 Jazz Podium, 34/10 (Oct.1985), p. 53 Jazz Podium, 38/7 (Jul.1989), p. 38 I also need some Jazz Magazine issues, but all are post-1962. Best regards, Agustín

Steve: I may need some of those magazines for my Tete Montoliu research (Jazz Magazine & Jazz Podium, IIRC). I will check my files tonight and will give you details on which issues I am interested in. Best regards, Agustín

My sick mind has changed to "High Society" (second strain and Alphonse Picou's famous solo, which I can almost hum note by note)

'The man I love'

Maxine Gordon just confirmed me that the Dexter Gordon DVD will also include the track "I Want More" from the Molde Jazz Festival (July 30, 1964).

Anycomments on "Stridemonster", Harold? Very good or excellent? Well, I'd say Excellent. But then, I did produce it. Great to know that, Ted! The StrideMonster in action, Bern International Jazz Festival (1986) : Thou Swell

disclaimer, any Solal broadcast would be greatly appreciated.... http://ubu-space.blogspot.com/2007/06/mart...1-exclusif.html You're the best, Flurin!!!

Dan: Nadal has won 5 titles on a different surface (out of 22 in total), one of them against Federer: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Nadal#...duales_.2822.29 BTW: I'm sure you'd be a good tennis scouter: From the 2004 Davis Cup Final thread: Five months later the one who isn't Moya is a top five player.

Apart from the 1932 Johnnie Davis Trio session for Victor (with Lonnie Johnson on guitar), Rust lists Bobby Henderson as "possible pianist" in two 1934 Brunswick & Decca sessions of the Johnnie Davis Orchestra. Bunny Berigan and Benny Goodman also may have taken part on them.

... but has not even cared to check Rust.

Thanks a lot, brownie and Chuck! I am afraid that, once again, Lord has copied Bruyninckx.

If it's not too much work (I think it shouldn't, as his recorded output is really scarce), I'd be very grateful if someone who owns a copy of Bruyninckx discography could post here (or send me via email to ekebbbapg@yahoo.es ) all the sessions listed for the obscure stride pianist Bobby Henderson (not to be confused with other musicians called Bobby Henderson, among them some Australian trumpetist). I have the Lord discography and will have access to a copy of Rust (for the pre-WWII sessions), but would like to check what Bruyninckx says. Thanks in advance!!!
