EKE BBB

Well, I´ll quote myself too And this one answering to king ubu´s quote:

These crazy completists and scholars... BTW: I´ll pick the latest CD-Rom version for Christmas... though I´m not a scholar

November release: Art Tatum Live Vol. 5, 1951 Storyville Records CATALOG NUMBER: 101 8335 GENRE: swing jazz BARCODE: 717101833528 Art Tatum- piano - Everett Barksdale - guitar - Slam Stewart - bass Tenderly / The Man I Love / Body And Soul / Flying Home / My Heart Stood Still / How High The Moon / Come Rain Or Come Shine / Begin The Beguine / Body And Soul / I Know That You Know / Honeysuckle Rose / Sittin' And Rockin' / Memories Of You / The Kerry Dance / Interview of Tatum by Leonard Feather / Taboo / Come Rain Or Come Shine / Honeysuckle Rose / Don't Blame Me / Taboo / Gershwin Medley:The Man I Love/I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'/It Ain't Necessarily So This 72 minute (21 tunes) live CD was recorded at the newly-opened Embers Club in N.Y.C. in 1951. The first four tunes are trio numbers with Everett Barksdale on guitar and Slam Stewart on bass; the rest are solo piano. Pianist Art Tatum is a true, unique genius of jazz; his lightening speed, his dynamics, nuances and complex ideas on the keyboard have never been equaled. The repertoire consists mostly of "crowd pleasers", including compositions by Duke Ellington, the Gershwin Brothers, Benny Goodman, Rogers and Hart, Harold Arlen and of course Art Tatum's mentor, Fats Waller.

For those interested, the above mentioned FSR "In private" is part of the Storyville release "Complete Jazz Chronicle Solo Session STCD 8253" (2000) So, completists, go and pick the Storyville!

Vol. 1 was in my last CD Universe order. Will post when I receive it.

Hey, what happens? No comments on this wonderful disc? This is one of my favorite Bud Powell Blue Note discs, up there with TABP vol.1 and one of the FEW reissues where alternative tracks are REALLY worth and you can say "These are better than the masters tracks". IMHO et al. Will give it a few more spins tonight.

Sure, I understand that 100%. But the thing is, this doesn't really have anything to do with actually engagingothers on the political threads.....you simply don't even want to see the forum title show up on your screen as though it doesn't even exist. Well fear not EKE, you'll get to see the signature line each and every time that I post after you! *just kiddin' ya You´re a provocateur (guess you have your first warn, je, je, je... )

A lot of old stuff (New Orleans, Dixieland), big band, bop, cool, hard bop, modal jazz, neobop... almost everything in my hands but fussion (I really can´t dig it). My next target is free jazz. Apart from the initial avant-garde (Coltrane, Dolphy, Mingus...) I have a few free jazz recordings: some Cecil Taylor, some Archie Shepp, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Braxton, Cherry, some Ayler... I have to learn a lot!

Jim: I can see a warning bar only below my profile (not under other member´s profile and avatar). My bar is "orange" and has 5 blocks. There´s a "0%" inscription before. Does it mean I have 5 out of 10 warnings? Or does it mean I have 0% of my allowed warnings? BTW: I think I´ve never been engaged in name-calling or hard discussion. Just stepped in Wingy´s at AAB affair to clarify what happened there. Anyway, thanks for your hard work improving this wonderful BB!!! You´re doing a great job here!

Thanks, Jim!

I´m aware of what´s happening in the world... but don´t come to a JAZZ FORUM to talk about politics! Peace

He appears in "Abbey is blue" (some tracks with Cedar Walton, some tracks with Wynton Kelly). One of my favorite records by Abbey Lincoln.

Geeeeez, an all-Balcanic-swing-from-the-thirties Blindfold Test!!!

WHAT IS THIS??? http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/jazz/reviews/el...se.shtml#review

Oh my God, DEEP has been bi-located (from the Spanish "bilocación": the simultaneous presence of a person in two different places) In case you need further information, check this SITE

Fabulous idea. Put my name on that "non-political member" list too!

I totally suscribe P.D.´s comments. And the story at AAJ was EXACTLY as he related. Nobody´s been banned for a simple post. Just to clarify the facts (as nobody seemed to confirm what P.D. wrote). Last post here.

This shit´s going too far... in just one day!

Till I find the Proper Box for a good price at a local store I need to sate my Tatum hunger ... just picked (for a budget price) this Fresh Sound release: In Private (FSRCD 127) Art Tatum, piano solo Tracklisting: 1. Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams (Barris-Koehler-Moll) 2. Sittin' An' A Rockin' (Strayhorn-Ellington-Gaines) 3. You're Drivin' Me Crazy (Walter Donaldson) 4. Tenderly (Walter Gross-Jack Lawrence) 5. Over the Rainbow (Arlen-Harburg) 6. In a Sentimental Mood (Ellington-Mills) 7. You Took Advantage of Me (Rodgers-Hart) 8. She's the Talk of the Town (Livingston-Symes-Neiburg) 9. She's Funny That Way (Moret-Whiting) 10.I'll Never Be The Same (Malneck-Signorelly-Kahn) 11.Night and Day (Cole Porter) Source tape: Harry Babasin These rare and historic recordings were originally made on a private tape at Art Tatum's home, during his time in California at the end of the forties (1949 or 1950). Originally released as Jazz Chronicles JCS 101 (don´t know if the Fresh Sound includes added material). EDIT: looks like no added tracks, because JCS 101 included 11 songs. 7 out of 11 tracks are included in the Proper Box. The AMG review (for the Jazz Chronicles release) mentions "not flawless sound". My copy (Fresh Sound Records, 1991) has very, very, very good sound, to these ears! Very recommended for any Tatum fan!

Re: Big Bill Broonzy: You´re right, John! I´ve seen at some on-line stores that its release date was September 22.
