EKE BBB

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

Due out on June 8: Jessica Williams - I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart: The Music of Duke Ellington (Hep 2082) Solo piano

Any small group leaded by Benny Goodman. Check out his Capitol trios, for instance.

Ain't that the truth! Wish BMG/RCA would release that period of his work. Otherwise we'll have no choice but to buy this... http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=A46n20r5ai489 (And no, I don't own that box, but I've been sorely tempted.) I´m guilty. BTW: we have to do something... and we´re doin´. Just look at this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9957 15 of us are currently working on this.

I had the great sounding Japanese 24-bit K2 remastered Kelly / Chambers reissues, but sold them once I'd heard the Mosaic... Hans: do you want my heart to be broken when that one finally goes OOP?

You're very right, Brad, about me digging that artist, but "Open the Door, Richard" is not one of his tracks. There are many versions of that tune/comedy routine, but the one on the BFT comes from another band with more genuine jazz creds... Then I'd say it's this or this musician's band ... Mike, I will quote my previous post. Pretty sure! Who has his centenary this year? His piano punctuations are highly recognizable. Sweets Edison has a pretty incisive voice, man! The other "talker" is Bill Johnson. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! B)

Just placed my order: the Morgan/Shorter plus the HRS sessions. I have more than half of the Kelly/Chambers material, that´s why I didn´t include it.
