I'm going to listen to it this afternoon. MG

If you haven't got Grant Green's "Standards", get it before it goes or regret it. This is the purest Grant Green music he ever made. Trio, with Wilbur Ware & Al Harewood; August 1961. It was first issued in Japan as "Remembering". My personal favourite Grant Green album. MG

There are four I really ought to get in these lists plust two maybes. Not too bad. Lou Donaldson - Everything I Play Is Funky Dakota Staton & George Shearing - In The Night Horace Silver - In Pursuit Of The 27th Man Horace Silver - You Gotta Take A Little Love (RVG Edition) Maybes - what about these folks? Lou Blackburn - Complete Imperial Sessions (Connoisseur Series) Cannonball Adderley - Jazz Workshop Revisited MG

Does he sing on all tracks? MG

Yes, I have that, too (or dod I have 1968?). He was also Earland's manager at the time. MG

Correct - it is Art Farmer ! Any ideas on track details? It's not from "Gentle eyes", though that has a rather similar approach. My guess is, it's the title track from "Crawl space" on CTI. (Not Freddie Hubbard on CTI, but Art Farmer on CTI - very subtle!) MG It IS from Gentle Eyes ! - on Mainstream. Any idea of the track? Bloody 'ell! I listened to all but one of those tracks (30 sec samples) on AMG this morning and didn't recognise it! MG

An evening of seventies DISCO!!!!!!!

I'm getting nowhere with Gerald Wislon. I read your comments as indicating that it's an arrangement by Gerald but not Gerald's own band. And that there's some kind of Kenton connection. Can't find anything that fits. MG

No it isn't. (Perhaps we sing a different version of "Twinkle" over here.) MG

Thanks for posting this sad news, Brownie. Love that album he made with Lou Bennett. RIP MG

Well, it's gottta be Prez this week - listening for the first time to the complete Lester Young Keynotes there were several tracks that bloo me away entirely. Don't know which take of the first two, because I was walking around Cardiff at the time, but Sometimes I'm happy After theatre jump Lester leaps again all got to me quite severely. MG

He's not been around since teatime (GMT T-time, that is ) MG

That's an old version of my Earland discography, from Jan 2004. There's a newer one (or maybe 2) somewhere on this board. But all are out of date. I was waiting to get the deal on the second Choice LP before coming out with version 4. "My cherie amour" was also issued on Rare Bird 4-8006 - “Black Power”. But I don't know if it is the same recording. The other side "Yas suh" wasn't on that LP. "Yas suh", according to Funky 16 corners, whom I believe on this since he's heard them both, is NOT the same record issued as "Yeah sir" on Big Chance 5001 titled “Freakin’ Off” and on Trip 5004 issued as “Charles Earland”. Now, as to the Sonny Hopson album, this appears to be essentially the same LP as "Introducing George Freeman with Charlie Earland sitting in" on Giant Step GS005. There are some Hopson vocals added - again according to Funky 16 corners. Not all the tracks feature Earland. Some have Jimmy McGriff, O'Donel Levy and Fats Theus on them. The same album (mostly) was reissued as "Freakin' off", remixed so you couldn't hear George Freeman. The sound is, to use a technical term, fucking awful. In the discography, I'm very tentative about this Freeman LP. Really, I want someone with better ears than me to ID the players. MG
