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 .

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 .

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 .

Forsooth !

The Callender ( done at the end of '55) does not pre-date the Rumsey , Pell or Niehaus Octets . I agree however , that it's not a bad record .

Only if they're unaccompanied by their women.....

Here's what it looks like :

AFAIK , Jimmy Heath only appeared on an organist's date twice : Charles Earland's Black Drops , and Don Patterson's These Are Soulful Days .

You already have the music if you have : The reissue cover looks like this :

Agreed . I remember hearing the record and thinking the organist had to be one of the veteran grease merchants . Quite a shock to find out it was Pullen - he had the style down cold !

Wherefore art thou using wherefore , when wherefore ≠ where , wherefore = why ?

Lots of people have had 91 % of the posts in their own thread , but how many have done that in a fifteen page thread ?! He's truly in a league of his own !

I was surprised at the lineup on that session too , and then a little disappointed after hearing it . Puts me in mind of another surprise Elvin Jones appearance , this time teamed with Art Davis : Father Tom Vaughn's first RCA record Jazz in Concert at the Village Gate .

I think we should have an expectation that members will offer something "constructive and meaningful" so long as we recognize that that can come in the form of knowledge of the music , experience of the music or passion for the music . Each of us places a different value on the various types of contribution , and while for me jazz-flavored spam ranks below all other kinds of contribution , I find it less objectionable than much of the non-jazz postings here . I'd rather have a smaller membership posting exclusively about jazz than a larger membership posting mainly about jazz . It would be interesting to know whether some of the people who have stopped posting here over the years felt the same way .

Two for a buck does seem expensive for a Bob James sample....

O.K. , Anita may not have been a looker , but she wasn't a butch frump either

The Lord discography has this session footnote : "The Prestige Label Discography by Michel Ruppli incorrectly lists the drummer for this session as Bill Bradley. He is pictured on the cover of Prestige LP7032 but only replaced Arthur Taylor after the recording session."

The photo and tint job suggest that one of Hampton's 'many sides' was ghoulishness ! Kind of makes you wonder if Hamp had complete artistic control over his own label .

Salongo must be Swahili for "geek" ....

Had to bring this one back up.... And in the same Halloweenish spirit , we have this ode to bad lighting :

I had low expectations for the book and it met them . I imagine that as with Mosaic , licensing played a part in the choices , but even within those limitations more interesting choices could've been made . I'd like to have seen many more 10-inch covers and perhaps even some of the more interesting back covers as well . Minimizing duplication with other previously published cover art books doesn't seem to have been a priority . Manek Daver's Jazz Album Covers: The Rare and the Beautiful remains the best book on the subject to date . More to the point , is any jazz piano music collection complete without this one ? I'd say , "No" .
