EKE BBB

Yeah! There are several towns in Spain with a street called Tete Montoliu. Like Terrassa, with a great Jazz Festival, and a famous jazz club called Jazz Cava (now Nova Jazz Cava), where Tete played dozens of times.

Your refreshing present is much appreciated, but I prefer...

¡¡¡MUCHAS GRACIAS A TODOS!!!

Yes. The one included in this BFT is that included in "The intimate DE" disc. There are a couple of versions in the "Live and rare" 3 CD set. And if I remember correctly from Timner (I don´t have it handy), there are even two (or three?) more unissued versions.

I´ve listened to disc 1 once. First of all, thanks again to Jim for such a nice compilation, varied and sometimes shocking. I´m afraid I don´t have time to do a proper track-by-track analysis now, but I´ll pick in with some comments/guesses on several tracks. Track 13: Yep! This is the Maestro doing his celeste + vocals version of his own composition "Moon maiden". Funnily, this was recorded on my birthday, just a couple of years before I was born. Here´s what Eddie Lambert writes on his "Listener´s guide": "...It´s wholly in character that when DE reflected on the posibilities of space flight his mind should turn at once to the opposite sex. "Mooon maiden" indicates how DE would have gone about chatting up the ladies had such been bound on the moon during his lifetime. He talks rather than sings, and the main interest in this slight DE curio is DE´s solo, the only one he ever recorded on celeste." Track 9: I don´t know neither the song nor this concrete performance, but I´d swear this the Count, sixties Count (Lockjaw Davies on tenor?) If there´s any group at all that can make me hum, tap my feet and snap my fingers with every song I listen, this is Basie´s. Even when it´s not top-notch Basie. Track 2: Late Pops, no doubt. Haven´t heard this "Cheesecake" thing previously. Will come with more!

Nah, that´s the problem of living in a faraway and neutral country such as Switzerland!

According to Jazzmatazz, there´s a new JSP, focused on Basie-ites recordings with other leaders. Away From Base: Count Basie Sidemen Recorded With Other Leaders 1937-1941 Featured ensembles/artists are: -Benny Goodman & His Orchestra -Teddy Wilson & His Orchestra/Billie Holiday -Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra -Mildred Bailey & Her Orchestra -Harry James & His Orchestra/Helen Humes -Kansas City Five -Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra -Jerry Kruger & Her Orchestra -Glenn Hardman & His Hammond Five -Joe Sullivan & His Cafe Society Orchestra -Una Mae Carlisle Guess most of it (if not all) is easily available elsewhere.

Just received the discs. Thanks Jim and Guy!!!

Hey, Lon, apart from an "old disestablismentarianismist", you´re a freakin´ collector of Ellingtonia. Will I ever find a single Ellington-related disc that you don´t own? ← Perhaps FRANCIS A. AND EDWARD K.? ← Doesn´t Lon like Sinatra?

Looks like your LP is missing a fourth performance: Django plays five choruses on "Ride, red, ride" on that concert.

My sincerest condolences to London. Living in Madrid, I know what you feel in that situation: panic, anger, pain, desolation... Fer Urbina, a Spanish member of this board who lives in London, is alright. He emailed me a few minutes ago.
