Well, in fact... [from Mike Lipskin´s Stride Piano website]

And some stride piano players would fit perfectly in the description of this thread: -Luckey Roberts -Donald Lambert -Bobby Henderson, not to mention -Stephen "The Beetle" Henderson -Abba Labba (Richard McLean) -Seminole, whose legendary talents were never put on a record!

How about Frank Hewitt?

Yes, Jabbo!!!

Just in case any of you need a few appartments there... http://www.andorran-properties.com/ang/and...roperty_ang.asp Don´t forget to put this sign on the main entrance: <<Andorran spoken>> Oh, that particular Spanish sense of humor...

Right now listening to "The Ground". A very nice disc.

Tom Lord´s discography on CD-Rom lists it, with similar information, but only mentions the Bellaphon release.

Nobody?

That means that YOU have completed and corrected the discography, right? ← Well, let´s say that he has used our discography to correct and add a few things here and there. Under permission, of course! And to be fair that is an infinitesimal part of all he has helped us with his first-hand knowledge on Tete Montoliu. He was by his side many years, travelled with him in many of his gigs and was present in many of his recording sessions.

Here´s the official presse release (as part of the Bienal Tete Montoliu): EDIT: sorry, no English version in the SGAE website

Last night, as part of the events in the Bienal Tete Montoliu, the book “Tete: Casi autobiografía”, by Miquel Jurado, was presented in its Spanish edition. Just a few months after Tete´s passing in 1997, Miquel Jurado published a book that he called “almost-an-autobiography”, with a biographical sketch of the life of Tete Montoliu, based mostly in their countless conversations through many years of friendship. It was written in Catalan and, though he made the translation into Spanish shortly after this Catalan edition, and due to diverse publishing troubles, the Spanish edition had been eternally delayed. Now, seven years after, a revised and expanded Spanish edition has just been published. Jurado has not changed the text significantly, though, among other things, an interesting article written by Tete in defense of bebop back in the fifties and an interview with the pianist when he was just 17, have been included. The graphical facet of the book is the main improvement: it´s a better printed edition with new photos and covers of almost all of the first edition issues of the discs by the Spanish genius. The discography (it´s a issue-oriented discography, not a sessionography, and only includes commercially issued recordings) has been completed and corrected. I´ve been sent a copy by the editors, but still haven´t received it. Thus, all my previous comments come from my talking with Miquel Jurado.

Has anybody ordered from http://www.puppyjazz.com? Is it a reliable on-line distributor? I´ve seen quite a few interesting discs on Arbors and Jazz Connaisseur labels there, for very reasonable prices. Thanks in advance! Agustín PS: do you know any other distributor for Jazz Connaisseur CDs other than their highly priced website, http://www.jazzconnaisseur.ch/frames.asp? ?

Bought yesterday, at the concert:

Double session in the XXII Festival de Jazz de Madrid: Javier Vercher Quartet / Dave Holland Quintet

Lord lists "A child is born" recorded on December 9, 1969, from "Muses for Richard Davis", a MPS disc with bassist Richard Davis and pianist Roland Hanna. No idea if that´s "our" "A child is born", as I haven´t heard it.

Two new releases are now available: Django Reinhardt - The swing sessions vol.3 (DGF59) Sunshine Special: Texas 1927-29 (DGF60) Complete catalogue on first post updated.
