How can someone have a soft spot for the awful OP?

¡¡¡FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, DAVID!!!

Congratulations, Phil!

Been listening to a 50´s Coleman Hawkins CD compilation on GRP: "Coleman Hawkins in the 50s - Body and Soul revisited" [GRP 16272] It includes diverse material, from very commercial sides to some boppish stuff. But for me the jewel of the crown is an almost forgotten mid-50s (exact recording date unknown) session of Cozy Cole´s Big Seven: Rex Stewart on cornet, Hawk, Tyree Glenn on trombone, Billy Bauer on guitar, Arvell Shaw on bass, Claude Hopkins on piano and Cozy Cole. My GRP CD includes 5 of the 6 tunes from that session: -My blue heaven -Honeysuckle Rose -Organ Grinder´s swing -Perdido -Sweetheart´s on parade Another track was recorded: "Caravan", a drum feature for Cozy Cole that does not include Hawkins. According to liner notes, this session was orginally released on LP as Grand Award 1023. According to Lord it was Grand Award LP 33-334 (???) and it was recorded on February, 1956. Has this session ever made it on CD in a complete version?

From "Jazz Reunion" (Candid, 1961) liner notes by Nat Henthoff:

Ferrero was not on top form these days. Nadal(18 years at the moment) was.

Dan: remember that Rafael Nadal (yeah, the guy who isn´t Moya) was chosen to play singles instead of Juan Carlos Ferrero, who HAS WON a lot of pro events. And as it was revealed, Spanish team coaches had their reasons.

Lord lists TEN recordings of "I want to be happy" by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, from July 1939 to August 1940. In all of them, Maurice Purtill is listed as drummer. I made a combined search for "I want to be happy" and Bob Spangler, and got no replies. Anyway, one can´t always trust Lord!

La Ensaladera se va para España!!!

November releases (from their website) Teddy Wilson Trio Revisits the Goodman Years LABEL: Storyville CATALOG NUMBER: 101 8364 GENRE: swing jazz Teddy Wilson - piano, Jesper Lundgaard - bass, Ed Thigpen - drums S'Wonderful / Someday Sweetheart / The Sheik Of Araby / More Than You Know / Nobody's Sweetheart / Rose Room / China Boy / Sweet Sue / Moonglow / Exactly Like You / Sweet Lorraine / Whispering / How High The Moon / Keeping Out Of Mischief Now / Don't Be That Way / Somebody Loves Me / St Louis Blues / I'll Remember April This CD (18 tunes; 69 minutes) is a studio recording made in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1980. The CD presents Teddy Wilson at his best, playing tunes he made immortal in the thirties as pianist with clarinetist Benny Goodman. Teddy Wilson is accompanied by Jesper Lundgaard, a Dane who is one of Europe's top bassists, and the famous drummer Ed Thigpen, who also lives in Denmark. On this CD Wilson displays all the delicacy, elegance, taste, finesse and impeccible rhythm sense that has made him one of the best pianists in jazz Ben Webster At Ronnie Scott, 1964 - The Punch LABEL: Storyville CATALOG NUMBER: 101 8373 GENRE: swing & bebop jazz BARCODE: 717101837328 Ben Webster - tenor sax, Stan Tracy - piano, Rick Laird - bass, Jackie Dougan - drums Introduction by Ronnie Scott / Blues In B Flat / Stardust / Gone With The Wind / Our Love Is Here To Stay / The Theme / Confirmation / My Romance / Poutin' / A Night In Tunisia / Over The Rainbow / How High The Moon / Cottontail The music on this CD is being release here for the first time. These 12 tunes (76 minutes), recorded in London over 4 nights at Ronnie Scott's club in 1964, are Ben Webster's first recordings in Europe. Webster is accompanied by three top British jazz musicians: Stan Tracy on piano, Rick Laird on bass and Jackie Dougan on drums. The repertoire consists of both of Ben Webster standards, like "Cottontail", and three bebop tunes: Miles Davis' "The Theme", Dizzy Gillespie's "Night in Tunisia" and Charlie Parker's "Confirmation". Webster displays deep romanticism - not sentimentality - in his poetic ballads. All in all, this CD is a joy to hear.

Just a (bad?) joke, as many times you insert covers of Japanese editions, and you sell that kind of stuff in the "Offering and Looking for..." forum.

Just PM-ed Clifton to give him my impressions on this, the latest "controversy".

Very useful instructions...

So... have you been recently banned, Hans? I liked watching the covers you inserted in your posts on the "WAYLT?" thread !!! And it was specially interesting to discover whether they were 20-bit, 24-bit, TOCJ, UCCI or whatever rare Japanese issue!

I have to agree with Brad. I don´t like the "sheriff-like" attitude moderators are showing on AAJ lately, in the name of "civilized discussion".

Buddy Bolden! Those cylinders were made very late in his life...

Thanks, Claude. I saw it on ebay (I have an automatic search on "Montoliu" there), but hadn´t got catalog numbers until now.
