EKE BBB

Another great discovery? Hope this goes to knowledgeable hands...

Congrats for your new blog, Flurin! Great stuff comin', I'm sure! In spite of the disclaimer, any Solal broadcast would be greatly appreciated....

Lon: Just listened a CD with a selection of Scott Joplin's rags performed by Richard Zimmermann on Legacy International. Haven't read those Amazon reviews, but I really prefer very much David Thomas Roberts' versions for Solo Art. Oh, and I still have to get Guido Nielsen's in his Joplin integral for Basta Records.

Are you sure about that? Or have you just had a relapse? He's just trying to avoid the Eddie Costa cold turkey for a while...

Be careful, Chuck! This could mean you are going to be banned ALSO from this BB...

This was my introduction to stride and remains a favorite. I first came across mention of Lucky Roberts watching A GReat Day in Harlem. More Luckey Roberts to be heard on: -The Circle Recordings (Solo Art), which pairs Roberts' 1946 recording session for Circle (classics like "Pork and Beans", "Ripples of the Nile", "Railroad blues"...) with two sessions of Ralph Sutton (1949 & 1952). Absolutely recommended. -The Jazz Age, vol.2 (Grammercy), originally Period RL1929 "Happy go Lucky", a trad jazz standard session with the presence of saxophonist and clarinetist Garvin Bushell. -"This is Jazz", the Historic Broadcasts, vol.1 on Jazzology. Luckey Roberts is sadly underrecorded, mainly because he had great success composing musical comedies and leading society bands and didn't bother to visit the recording studios. Our loss!!! Liner notes to Tom Roberts' "Roberts plays Roberts" (Stomp Off Records) -written by the same Tom Roberts- are the most scholarly researched profile we have of one of the fathers of the stride piano.

Jazzology has announced that they are re-issuing Dick Wellstood's 1974 "Walkin' with Wellstood" session from 77 records. It will be coupled with only half of Lennie Felix's "In His Stride" LP. http://www.jazzology.com/item_detail.php?id=SACD-155

No mention of that tune (or similar titles) on Version 6.0.

Just received this email: At last there's a publication date for what will be THE Trane book.

Just received the reply from Fremeaux:

The sides with Fats Waller (July 26, 1932) are complete, according Stephen Taylor's Waller discography. The difference gotta be somewhere else!

Listening closely to the first Fats Waller session (Muscle Shoals Blues/Bimingham Blues, from October 21, 1922) from this JSP set. I am at work and using my laptop with mid-range headphones, so no audiophile analysis, but I have to say that I am really impressed by Kendall's remastering work. Maintaining some surface noise, Waller's piano comes to the frontline with a brilliant sound. Will A/B-check with my Classics CDs tonight, but there's a winner, for sure!

I had missed this one: Louis Armstrong in Scandinavia, vol. 1-4 Since I don't have the individual discs (only 3 volumes were released, right?), this 4 CD box is officially placed in my wish list!

Released on March 2007: Wonderful music!

I am looking for reasonably priced Henry Red Allen post-1936 CDs from the Chronological Classics series, starting with 1936-37.

Been lazy to get the Roach so far, since I have several of the original albums. But now... And I also NEED the Berigan set... On the other hand, I recently promised to my wife that I'd be a good boy and would moderate my CD purchases...

More releases from that date: -Telefunken EP 7": TFR 423 - The European All Stars 1961 (1962) (Blue Monk and Hittin' The Blues, with Tete Montoliu at the piano) -Telefunken EP 7": TFK 13.007 - Teté (sic) Montoliu European All Stars 1961 (Averty, C'est Moi; Am I Blue and That Ole Devil Called Love; Spanish Telefunken EP where, despite the title, Solal is at the piano, and not Tete)

I sent an email to Fremeaux yesterday, asking if they already know how many volumes will this series include and if there's an estimated release schedule. Will report back when they reply.

On the "completeness" of this set, here's a mail I received recently from discographer Stephen Taylor (the "man" regarding Waller's discography nowadays):

Just received Volume 1 (Volume 2 came in the mail a few days ago). Gonna be a wallerish morning!
