Gracias, Diego! Mail sent!

I´m looking for old articles & concert/disc reviews of Tete Montoliu, published in Jazz Magazine. Before going to other different sources, I thought I could ask here. Photocopies of the articles are OK (I´d say great! ). Here´s the (not too long, I hope) list: -Michel Laverdure: Jazz Catalan, in: Jazz Magazine, #132 (1966), p. 13 -A.M.: Tourmente Tete, in: Jazz Magazine, #152 (1968), p. 15 -A. Mallofré: Pièges pour Tete, in: Jazz Magazine, #162 (1969), p. 36-37 -Francis Marmande & Gérard Rouy: Tete Montoliu, in: Jazz Magazine, #216 (1973), p. 25-26 -S.L.: Piano Parade, Paris, Maison de Radio-France, in: Jazz Magazine, #250 (1976), p. 14 -Christian Tarting: Jazz en direct. Tete Montoliu, Marseille, in: Jazz Magazine, #324 (1983), p. 12 -Robert Latxague: Montoliu. Bop en tête, in: Jazz Magazine, #321 (1983), p. 40-41, 50 -Michel Laverdure: En direct. Lafitte - Montoliu - Boussaguet, in: Jazz Magazine, #457 (Mar.1996), p. 6 Thanks in advance!

... It's not quite clear to me what you mean by asking about "overlaps with other series". Do you mean labels from Spain/Andorra or (PROPERly produced) Box-Sets from the U.K. ? Either way: I couldn't (and wouldn't want to) answer your question since I am neither the owner of Classics nor in charge of production ! I guess Mike was referring to Neatwork.

So far I only have the Papa Celestine/Sam Morgan release and it´s great!

Yesterday I bought "The complete IS sessions" (Blue Note Connoisseur 2 CD) for 20 €.

Thanks, brownie. I think I´ll pass on that one, as the very same FSR has released this year "The complete Jazztone recordings 1954" (FSR 347) with the complete session.

I´ve planned to pick a few FSR releases on their special sale € 6.37 (USD 7.57). Seen this Coleman Hawkins CD and as I don´t have access to my database or my Lord CD-ROM now, I don´t know which date(s) it´s taken from, and if this is available elsewhere. Thanks in advance! Timeless Jazz Coleman Hawkins Featuring: Coleman Hawkins (ts), Billy Taylor (p), Emmett Berry (tp), Eddie Bert (tb), Jo Jones (d), Milt Hinton (b) REFERENCE: FSRCD 088 Tracklisting: 1. Get Happy (Arlen-Koehler) 2. If I Had You (Shapiro-Campbell-Connelly) 3. Lullaby of Birdland (Shearing-Werss) 4. Out of Nowhere (Green-Heyman) 5. Blue Love (Sampson-Mills) 6. Stompin' at the Savoy (Sampson-Goodman-Webb-Razaf) 7. Ain't Misbehavin' (Waller-Brooks-Razaf) 8. Cheek to Cheek (Irring Berlin) 9. Just You, Just Me (Greer-Klages) No aditional information provided.

Here´s the info from Fresh Sound Records website: Amsterdam Concert Miles Davis Quintet Featuring: Miles Davis (tp), Barney Wilen (ts), René Urtreger (p), Pierre Michelot (b), Kenny Clarke (d) REFERENCE: LHJ10141 One of the least known Miles Davis recordings around, this release contains the complete Amsterdam Concertgebouw Broadcast recorded on December 8, 1957 with the talented tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen and the René Urtreger quartet. A recording which has remained virtually unavailable on any format for decades, Lone Hill Jazz is proud to put this hidden gem back into circulation. Although the sound quality is imperfect, the outstanding performances by the musicians – most notably Miles himself – more than make up for it. Tracklisting: 1. Woody ‘n’ You (D. Gillespie) 2. Bag’s Groove (M. Jackson) 3. What’s New (Haggart-Burke) 4. But Not For Me (G. Gershwin-I. Gershwin) 5. A Night In Tunisia (Gillespie-Paparelli) 6. Four (M. Davis) 7. Walkin’ (R. Carpenter) 8. Well You Needn’t (T. Monk) 9. Round About Midnight (Monk-Hanighen-Williams) 10. Lady Bird (T. Dameron-N. Heath) “While I was in Paris writing the music for Malle’s film, I was playing at the Club St. Germain, with Kenny Clarke on drums, Pierre Michelot on bass, Barney Wilen on saxophone and René Urtreger on piano. I remember this gig because a lot of French critics got mad when I wouldn’t talk from the bandstand and introduce tunes like everyone else did, because I thought the music spoke for itself. They thought I was arrogant and snubbing them. They were used to all those black musicians who came over there grinning and scratching up on stage. There was only one critic who understood what I was doing and didn’t come down hard on me and that was André Hodeir, who I thought was one of the best music critics I had come across. Anyway, none of that shit bothered me, and I just kept on doing what I was doing. It didn’t seem to disturb the people who came to listen because the club was jam-packed every night.” – Miles Davis

A big fan of the Classics here! Welcome to the board and stick around! Cheers, Agustín PS: I can´t resist to ask for the "Chronogical" spelling origin. What is it?

My only Galliano is "Laurita" (Dreyfus, 1994), and it´s been a long time since I last listened to it. I remember I quite enjoyed it. Thanks for reminding me of Galliano, brownie, I´ll spin that disc tonight.

And speaking of European pianists, it´s sad to say that nowadays in Spain Tete Montoliu is totally underrated and almost forgotten, even in most jazz circles. Looks like the Flamenco-Jazz stuff is the only focus for the media. Hopefully in 2007 (10th anniversary of his passing), he will be remembered and, what´s more, some unissued recordings will see the light of the day (there´s unreleased studio material for more than 10 CDs and tons of live stuff) and some will make it to CD for the first time!

From what I´ve listened, a big !!!

Two overlooked stride pianists, maybe because they were sadly underrecorded: -Donald Lambert -Luckey Roberts

And maybe Clarence Williams?

I've seen such numbers quoted before, but surely the number of Duke's composition can be pinned down with a bit more accuracy. Really, 1,000-3,000 seems awfully broad... There´s some current work on this: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=15608

He played piano on "Jammin´ the blues" soundtrack (remember: Prez, Illinois Jacquet, Sweets, Dicky Wells, Kessel...).

Now I feel so relieved....

Guess I have that track too, don´t I?

Thanks for sharing those photos, Lon! The more I listen to Pee Wee, the more I rank him close to the top of my list of favorite clarinetists!

I didn´t have the time to listen to this wonderful compilation as much as it deserved. And I haven´t followed the continous discussion on it. But since the answers have been revealed, I´ll keep it near my stereo for some time, with a print of the discussion and the answers threads. Good opportunity to learn a lot more about big bands and swing-to-bop music! Thanks again, Milan!
