EKE BBB

Ooops, I should have kept my mouth closed! Anyway, congratulations for one of the best websites dedicated to a jazz artist that I´ve ever known (and I can assure you I have more than two hundred jazz related websites on the "Favorites" tool of my internet navigator!)

Look at the Norman Saks gallery and the Ephemera gallery at the Bird Lives website. There are a lot of autographed documents and, unless I´ve missed it, there´s no "Christopher" in any of them.

... and

... on the other hand...

From Brian Priestley´s recent book on Charlie Parker. "Another discrepancy concerns [Charlie's] given name; although there are many references to him as 'Charles Christopher Parker', neither his birth certificate nor his gravestone shows any such middle name" British edition (Equinox, London, 2005 - p. 10)

This week? How could I buy it two weeks ago second-hand at Jussieu Jazz? Absolute ditto to your comments on this wonderful disc!

My best wishes for Marc and his family. He´s a very nice and reflexive jazz-loving guy. I wish he will recover and will be back soon! Though I´ve had a few interesting exchanges with him on and off the board, as I very seldom visit AAJBB lately, I didn´t know anything about his health getting worse.

As suggested to me by Fer Urbina: could the guitarist be George Van Eps?

24 additional "Leader Discographies" have been listed.

Do you own a copy in better condition? I bet so!

For that price, I can´t recommend that one enough! 2-CD set including the original discs "Catalonian Fire" and "Tete!". Trio recordings with NHOP and Tootie Heath, from 1974.

Also highly recommended: on Steeplechase, with Jimmy Rushing (vocal) Emmet Berry (trumpet) Dickie Wells (trombone) Buddy Tate (tenor sax) Earle Warren (alto sax) Al Williams (piano) Gene Ramey (bass) Herbie Lovelle (drums)

Received the disc from brownie in person. Thanks for all, man!!! Looking forward to listening to that disc!

At least the new one has a different picture, and not the old one reversed with a left-handed Lee.

I think it's terrific! Another trio outing also recorded in May '74 worth getting is TETE! These two albums and perhaps TOOTIE'S TEMPO (also on Steeplechase) represent his best trio recordings, IMO. One caveat: Lots of Steeplechase recordings back in the '70s were licensed to a U.S. label, Inner City. The IC pressings are nowhere near the quality of the Danish Steeplechase editions. But for $3.99, it's worth getting particularly if you still put records on the turntable often enough. Martin: Do you happen to have the Inner City issue of "Catalonian Fire"? I still need release date for this US edition. Thanks in advance! Agustín

There´s been a lot of discussion on Lonehill and other related labels.

Besides "Ten to two blues", retitled "After hours" in non-Spanish reissues, and already mentioned, there´s another disc with Tete Montoliu that is at least as good: "It´s about blues time" .

Up once more! We´re working hard on the discography lately. A major update will be available at Mike Fitzgerald´s www.jazzdiscography.com in a few weeks.

Up once again! We´re working hard on the discography these days. A major update will be available on-line in a few weeks. Stay tuned!

From a bit later (1968), this MPS disc (a favourite of mine, and not only because Tete Montoliu leads the rhythm section) shows a beautiful contrast between Webster and Byas´ styles:

If interested the truly excellent Hep 2CD "Band box shuffle" is the place to go IMO Yes! Best sounding release of the 1929-32 recordings of the Moten band. And IMHO next step should be the two discs on Frog ("Justrite" and "Kansas City Breakdown"), from the earlier period (1926-29).

Best wishes, Agustín PS: glad to see so much interest on Tete once again on this board! A very interesting NEW TETE MONTOLIU "package" produced by Miquel Jurado will be presented next Monday. I will attend the presentation and open colloquim on FNAC (Callao, Madrid).
