EKE BBB

Amongst a few hundreds more, EKE

You mentioned three GREAT recordings, Harold. Love´em too! And the All Stars stuff I´m still getting started (two or three albums in my collection)

3 out of 25. That´s nearer my average ratio!!! Now I can have a rest...

Neither do I, LAL!

Guess Moscow is at the bottom of the favorites... From what I´ve heard, Paris is the main rival to Madrid... do we need any more chaos here? The only "but" to Paris is that I had planned to go there again in the summer of 2012...

Well, I nailed 4 out of 16... much better than my average ratio of 0%! Thanks again for a great BFT, Ray! There´s been a lively and fresh discussion as well. Hope there will be some similar interest in my only-Ellington BFT#13...

Thanks for this information, Chris. You´re always a few weeks before their website!

T/K/M disc 1

Sad new, very sad news. Thanks John R.T. Davis for re-discovering some great music for us with the best available sound!

SOME can have a beer cause there´s SOME work done... ...and MUCH MORE to be done

Of course, Milan! Join the party!

Shit! I couldn´t resist (9 EUROS each): -Jason Moran - The bandwagon -Cat Anderson - Americans swinging in Paris And last night I ordered the Morgan/Shorter Vee Jay & the HRS Sessions Mosaics. I had promised not to buy anything more for a while...

Sam Rivers disc 2

I NEED to return to that set periodically and play at least a few sides (West End blues, Potato Head blues, Cornet Chop Suey, Heebies Jeebies, Struttin´ with some barbecue, Wild man blues...). It a vital necessity!

brownie: I saw Tissendier in Paris about three years ago, in my last trip to Paris(*) He played with his Quintet, featuring another saxophonist whose name I can´t remember. It was a very good concert, in that small, uncomfortable, but lovely Caveau de l´Huchette in the Latin Quarter (excuse me if the spelling is not accurate). Great blowing! (*)Hope I´ll have more Paris dosis soon, I return there whenever I can.

Childproof

I stand corrected, mike. I didn´t even pull that Prestige reissue out of my shelves (BTW, one of my favorite vocalese discs). I remembered it, recognized the song and King Pleasure, and inmediately associated the female voice with Annie Ross, without any foundation. Thank goodness there are always a picky and knowledgeable poster to put me in my place....

So, it´s not the King Pleasure´s Prestige session I linked... I´ve been too lazy to check my CD. But it´s still Annie Ross as I said, isn´t she?

Perhaps you need a shelf "Items likely to be missed in an Organissimo Blindfold Test" ... Anyone cares to resume what´s been identified from Disc 2? I´m not looking at anybody...

Which is the relation with this thread??? ...surrealistic pillow... (I always loved Jefferson Airplane)

I have part of the material she recorded with Red Norvo and it´s quite good, IMHO. Her voice may dislike some, but not me. And I´m a big fan of vocal jazz. But I´ve never decided to buy the Mosaic because it´s a huge set... I don´t know if I want so much Mildred Bailey. I´ve rated my Mosaics wish-list from: 1.-Highest Priority to 3.-Lowest Priority, and the Bailey is rated 3 (as some other vocal jazz sets are).

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, JIM

And there´s even another one coming, according to Jazzmatazz: Jessica Williams - Live at Yoshi's (MaxJazz) July 20
