I couldn´t agree more, Lon! There´s a lot of early Blue Note output waiting to be reissued!

This is not a joke, but something real, as told by Danish saxophonist Jesper Thilo in his autobiography: <<Duke’s orchestra was in town (Copenhagen, Denmark). Jesper’s phone rang: “ Duke wants an alto sax for the band tonight”. Jesper was thrilled: “Great, he said, I’m coming right away”. “Don’t bother to come, just send the saxophone with a taxi”. >>

Saw him with Atomic last month I was favorably impressed by his playing.

Just noticed that this auction has been removed. Wonder what happened. Maybe the seller has second thoughts. Strange! Last time I checked it, winning bid was about 4.800 USD, with two days left.

One I know (dont't know of any other) is right next to the main square of the southern France village of Marciac where a jazz festival is held every summer. WM is an invited participant there every year. Did a quick google and could not find an image! Since July 2006, there´s a statue of Wynton in the Spanish town of Vitoria, where he has played plenty of times. http://www.elpais.es/articulo/agenda/homen...lpepiage_3/Tes/ Those crazy Spaniards!

EKE reporting back: I´ve already received my order from Puppy Jazz. Mixed feelings: their catalogue for small independent labels focused on "older types of jazz" is excellent, and with very reasonable prices (I don´t mean bargain prices, but compared with other distributors, their prices are more than OK). But, while service has been fast (less than 2 weeks from US to Spain), packaging was really poor (a single bubble envelope with no additional cardboard or anything is no good for six CDs) and most of the jewel cases arrived with big cracks. But the music is GREAT!

This cover is more like a Shakira cover than a classical CD cover... (and I don´t imply that´s bad at all..)

FWIW, here´s a complete list of the Elektra/Musicians catalogue, from the Jazz Labels Listing Project
