Goodbye, my friends! This is my last post, as I only have two of those albums, and I´ll be banned in a few hours. It´s been great!

I have some seven or eight CDs by Keith Jarrett, and I really like what I´ve heard so far. Willing to expand my collection, I ask for your recommendations. Be sure I´ll them into account! I´d suggest you to give three or four names in each one of these categories: -KJ trio playing standards (both jazz standards or pop standards) -KJ trio playing "out" stuff -other recordings (solo piano, other ensembles...) Thanks in advance!

Further discussion on Gary Giddins can be found in this thread.

Terrible news. My sinceerest condolences to his family.

After David French´s sudden passing (October 24), his partner Dawn Leppard is going to maintain the label´s activity:

Are you playing tenor sax disguised as Peter van Bergen?

Searching through some Internet on-line stores, it looks like it´s a bit pricey: http://www.organ.co.uk/Merchant2/4.13/merc...tegory_Code=WBD http://www.elitediffusion.com/catalog/inde...facturers_id=40

You´re welcome, Dan. Not that I´ve ever heard of that disc: Google´s a powerful tool! Here´s the cover:

The Zurich Concert Jazz Connaisseur JCCD 8701-2 recorded november 1986 in Zürich/Switzerland released in 1987 Wild Bill Davis, Hammond organ, fender rhodes, vocals Clifford Scott, tenor sax, alto sax, flute Dickie Thompson, guitar, vocals Clyde Lucas, drums Track listing: Meridian Honeysuckle Rose (Vocal By Dickie Thompson) Azure-te * Stolen Sweets Pompton Turnpike * This is all I Ask Atlantic City Some More Caravan Jive Samba * Route 66 ** Lester Leaps In * April in Paris * * Previously Unreleased ** Wild Bill Davis, vocals (from International Archives for Jazz Organ website)

-Keith Jarrett: The Köln concert -Jarrett/Peacock/DeJohnnette: Always let me go 12,95 € each, obviously the second one was mispriced (that´s what I like from the ignorance of those who compose the jazz section for some big stores! )

Free jazz.

According to Jazzmatazz, there´s an upcoming release by Jason Moran and his Bandwagon, due out February 1: Jason Moran and The Bandwagon - Same Mother (Blue Note) Feb 1 — Jason Moran (piano), Tarus Mateen (bass), Nasheet Waits (drums) and guest Marvin Sewell (guitar); mostly jazzy explorations of the blues

A little hint to help you, it was said by a woman. Wild guess: Sheila Jordan?

You can get a Title Key to Ellington´s Production from Jørgen Mathiasen ( currently under preparation ) by filling out and sending this FORM.

http://roundaboutjazz.de/depages/Survey.htm Thanks for that link, John. I didn´t have that one on my "Ellington" folder of favorite websites.

Mike: It´s in the last issue of the on-line Duke Ellington Music Society (DEMS) Bulletin [04/3 December 2004 - March 2005], Part Six. Sorry, I should have included the complete source. Here´s a link. (scroll down as there are several more articles above the one I posted).

Thanks, brownie! Anyway, I´ll have to pick the Lonehill discs, as I don´t have the JazzUps.

I thought this could be of interest for our resident discographers: DUKE ELLINGTON's Production as a Composer A survey of a selection of sources to his entire production and a methodological discussion by Jørgen Mathiasen

Also for Ellington nuts: DUKE ELLINGTON: Day by Day, Film by Film Dr. Klaus Stratemann is still at half the price (EUR 50 or USD 60) at Storyville´s website. Go and get it while you can! (I received it a few days ago)
