EKE BBB

Starting with this one???

A bit off-topic, but does anybody know if this is easily available on CD (OJC - originally Jazzland)???

More off-topic: I prefer the second one. I find it more SUGGESTIVE??? B)

Thanks for the recs, ubu! Totally agree with Jaspar and Thomas: superb and highly underrated musicians. I was shocked when I heard "The real cat" when it came out. Since then Thomas is in my list of favorite guitarrists! I have "Jeux de quartes" and "Modern jazz au club st.-germain" by Jaspar and I enjoy them a lot! I also like his work with Chet Baker ("Somewhere over the rainbow" -Bluebird- is the one I´d pick!) and his playing on Wynton Kelly´s "Kelly blue". PS: I DO KNOW some day I will own the 101 CDs!

His career was launched when he played (tenor sax) in Louis Malle´s... (Lift to the Scaffold) with Kenny Clarke, René Urtreger and Pierre Michelot (Miles in command)

Ja,ja,ja.... another Jazz in Paris binge: 11 CD, 6€ each, at a local store! -Louis Armstrong and friends -Kenny Clarke´s sextet plays André Hodeir -Henri Crolla: Quand refleuriront les lilas blancs? -René Urtreger joue Bud Powell -Clarinettes à Saint-Germain des Prés -René Thomas: Meeting mister Thomas -Joe Newman/Cootie Williams: Jazz at midnight -Peanuts Holland/Buck Clayton/Charlie Singleton: Club session -Sonny Criss: Mr. Blues pour flirter -Harlem piano in Montmartre (Garland Wilson/Herman Chittison) -Donald Byrd Quintet: Parisian thoroughfare

Sure you´ll taste some of your vintage Bordeaux treasures... Enjoy them!

Re: Lou Bennett: He used to play regularly in Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Salamanca). I saw him once (Salamanca, El Corrillo Club) a few years before his death in 1997. He was a good player and, from what I heard, a very nice human being.

Essential set. Simply: my favorite Grant Green. Again, no problem with the remastering.

Pre-bop for me!

My favorite all time baritone saxophonist is HARRY CARNEY. Yes, I know you´re talking about leading dates and solos... and Carney wasn´t a regular leader (wish he had been!) but: -first of all, I think he was the base and support of the Ellington reeds section... and this means a lot to me! -then he gave us wonderful solos here and there through the years (many years, a whole life he spent with the Duke). He was "more generous" in the early days and he hardly soloed at the end! -and he´s featured in many Ellingtonians small ensembles dates with the likes of Cootie Williams, Johnny Hodges, Rex Stewart... BTW: hear him playing in the 1938 Carnegie Hall Goodman´s concert!!!!!!

A great disc indeed... though I hadn´t heard much Smulyan, Cuber or Brignola before!

I discovered this wonderful label (and Frog, and Oracle, and Timeless and...) thanks to Lon and other AAJ posters... they´ll be damned till the end of times... once you start with one, you can never stop picking more and more!

Is this what you see from your window, ubu?

??? The sun´s shining here! ... ... B)

A masterpiece, IMHO!

I´ve picked up these 7... planning to get some more! Good sound and interesting dates!

Black, Brown and Beige

I do like the Eldridge sides! Roy looks like he´s containing himself: playing calmly, softer than I´d ever heard him! It´s a superb disc, maybe the second one in my list, after the Webster! The Webster sides are simply wonderful. Ben concentrated on his tone, blowing a few notes, leaving Tatum to do the pyrotechniques... (simply I can´t fix my ears on the rhythm section...) Agree with ubu regarding the Edison/Kessel date... though Sweets is a favorite of mine! BTW: what a hazardous trip yours has been, ubu! Two weeks almost concentrated on Tatum... Danger of serious overdose!
