According to Lord, Vone Mae by Herb Geller was recorded on August 22, 1955 (Los Angeles).

According to Lord, Medley my minor by Gene Krupa Sextet was recorded on New York, February 2, 1954.

... & Crispell doesn't ADD to the proceedings (sorry C fans, i like some of her stuff) .... Just listened to Anderson/Crispell/Drake´s "Destiny", and I think I understand your point. Crispell´s improvisations are OK, but when Fred Anderson is blowing, specially in the not so abundant energic passages, I almost feel I don´t need any piano!

Yep! From the liner notes for the "Vintage duets Chicago" disc:

The online Jazz Discography Project doesn´t list so. I don´t have access to my Lord CD-Rom here, but will check it tonight. But he was in Stan Getz´s rhythm section when recording "Round midnight": Stan Getz Quintet: Stan Getz - tenor, Hall Overton - piano, Jimmy Raney - guitar, Red Mitchell - bass, Frank Isola - drums.

Here´s an interview by Lazaro Vega (May 15, 2002), from Velvet Lounge (the club Fred Anderson owns) website:

I´ve just listened to my first Fred Anderson disc "Fred Anderson / DKV Trio" and highly enjoyed it. Right now I´m digging "Vintage Duets Chicago 1-11-80" with Steve McCall, and "Destiny" (with Marilyn Crispell and Hamid Drake) is on the waiting-list. So I thought it would be interesting to start a "general" discussion on him (I did make a search couldn´t find any thread). All comments & suggestions are welcome!

I´ve listened to the Fred Anderson / DKV Trio Okka disk twice, and I must say I´m really impressed, possitively impressed. I´ve enjoyed it a lot. My first Fred Anderson disc (I also ordered "Destiny" and "Vintage duets" from Chuck, but haven´t heard them yet), as well as my first Ken Vandermark; so these are "virginal" comments! Anderson and Vandermark´s interplay is very interesting, their conversations filled with great fierceness on "Our theme", while there´s some calmed music on other passages. And I did like the rhythm section (I had only heard Drake on "Dried rat dog" and never heard Kessler before). As for influences, I think I can hear a lot of Ayler, specially through the most powerful blowing. Oh, and these guys have their roots on the blues as well (just hear those walking bass lines on "Lady´s in Love")! In short: very enjoyable and not too "out" for me!

But if you google "Tete Montoliu discography"....

There´s a Agustín Pérez Pardella, an Argentinian writer... And a Spanish Arts critic, Agustín Pérez Rubio... And some Agustín Pérez Bellas, Spanish (Galician) architect, painter and poet... And another Spanish poet, Agustín Pérez del Moral... And even a bullfighter, Agustín Pérez!!!! Looks like all of them have more aptitudes for Arts than I have!

I received your package today, Chuck. Thanks for the super-fast delivery! Looking forward to hearing these discs: I think I´ll play some the Fred Anderson tonight. A completely new world for me.

If I´d count every time I´ve mispelled an English word, the list would never end! :rsly:

I stand corrected, Chris. I´ve edited my first post. But... nothing I can do with the reissue cover!

Not to be punctilious, but actually it´s Hodeir and not Hodier

Great photo, Mark! This has made me revisit that wonderful picture of Lou Donaldson you sent me months ago... I still need some more space on my walls to give it deserved honours!
