  1. Speaking of James Newton , has anyone heard the record he did with Clovis Bordeaux ? It was his first recording I think . It's on his own label , Flute Music Productions .
  2. Yes , more recommendations here . My Herbie Mann recommendation would be the one I most recently listened to , that being Latin Mann . This has Herbie fronting a big band with Oliver Nelson arranging and conducting tunes like Manteca , Señor Blues and Jive Samba . Harder to find ( read : vinyl only ) but worthwhile are Paul Horn's Impressions Of Cleopatra and Lloyd McNeill's Asha and Washington Suite .
  3. I could easily post a hundred black & white covers ( think of the Norgrans and Pablos alone ! ) but I'll post this one because I like the cover and the music , and because Tom likes architectural covers ( remember that thread ?! )
  4. I like these as well... Clora Bryant at the Lighthouse in 1954 Shorty Rogers at Shelly Manne's house in 1954
  5. Here are some photos from the archive I hadn't seen : Jess Stacy in 1944 Pee Wee Russell in 1944
  6. Never-seen jazz photos and a whole lot more here : http://images.google.com/hosted/life Non-commercial use is unrestricted , but the images can't be hot-linked , so you'll have to host them yourself or use a third-party host if you want to post your favorites in this thread .
  7. You didn't say , but I'm betting you think the "one hard swinging tune" on Honeysuckle Breeze is Emil Richard's Blues For Hari . If so , I agree that it's the best thing on the album , but since I also like the version of Naima , this album doesn't strictly speaking fit in this thread for me . Rural Still Life is better than Honeysuckle Breeze insofar as it avoids the Gary McFarland-like pop pandering , but for me it's pretty close to fitting this thread as well . I think With Respect To Coltrane is the best thing on it , and the version of Body and Soul is decent , but after that you've got four 'originals' ( including one inspired by Freedom Jazz Dance and one by Maiden Voyage ) that don't do anything for me .
  8. Youch!!!! That just don't seem right. That's because it isn't . C$0.78.9/liter is not US$0.98.9/liter , it's US$0.63/liter at today's exchange rate . So that's roughly US$2.50 a gallon .
  9. What , my thread on this topic wasn't good enough ? http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=44461
  10. While The Montgomery Brothers In Canada was recorded live at a Vancouver club , the audience was apparently so small and undemonstrative that the applause from a Cal Tjader concert was used instead ! The session has been reissued on a Fantasy CD called Groove Brothers under Wes Montgomery's name , where it has been shorn of all applause altogether .
  11. J.J. Johnson In Person on Columbia Cannonball Adderley Mercy , Mercy , Mercy on Capitol ( studio audience ) Joe Daley Trio At Newport '63 on RCA ( half-studio , half-live )
  12. I don't see the map. Where is it? It's France. Nah , France is more like this :
  13. He and Big John Patton are on Grant Green's forgettable Am I Blue . My favorite Henderson with organ dates are Unity , Leaving This Planet and Johnny Hammond Smith's Higher Ground on Kudu .
  14. I've been wanting to hear this session for a long time now, but it was never reissued ... not even in Japan . Not true , those four tracks were reissued on this CD : http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/record.php?record_id=333 The original 7-inch EP looks like this :
  15. Still had the ad in my cache , so here it is for the curious -

    Paul Quinichette

    Somebody needs to put all 6 1/2 hours of The Subject Is Jazz on DVD .

    Tony Scott

    Around the time that show was taped Scott performed that piece as part of a concert at Town Hall put on by Down Beat , a performance which ended up on this record put out by Dot ( this is volume one of a two volume issue ) : The tune , dedicated to a singer Scott met in Johannesburg in 1957 , runs nine minutes and features nice assists from Jimmy Knepper , Kenny Burrell , Sam Jones and Paul Motian . I think it's the best peformance on the record . Don't know if it's available on CD though .
  18. But only one who still posts here regularly : Rooster Ties . I'm sure I'm not alone in finding it bizarre that during the 3 1/2 years since his blindfold test , he found lots of time for many , many posts , and yet no time to provide the answers to disc two of his blindfold test . That's just not cricket .
  19. The board software as currently configured doesn't seem to allow for an intra-thread member search . Inputting a member's name into the "search topic" feature ( bottom-left of each page ) only brings up that member's posts if they have been quoted by someone else . You can always use the "Ctrl + F" search function of your browser , but that means having to open and search each page individually .
