A pretty obvious choice ....

Have the book but never took care of the CD .... this falls into the "bent, but not broken" catagory me believe ....

Saw Max Roach @ Konfrontationen Nickelsdorf (Austria) in 1983 - at that time he toured with the so-called "Double Quartet" feat. four female string players led by his daughter Maxine Roach .... his gig started after midnight and after some rather laidback pieces of music Max Roach said with a broad grin "Well it is time for the girls to go to bed ...." and the Quartet consisiting of Odean Pope + Cecil Bridgewater + Art Davis + Max Roach went on fire - as the little town of Nickelsdorf is located near to the Hungarian border and at this time this meant very near the "iron curtain" we joked whether Max Roach`s thunderous solos caused alarms with the Hungarian troups .... those were the days P.S At that weekend also duo concert of Steve Lacy + Mal Waldron and Steve Lacy + John Carter took place .... lucky me ....

Dear Claude, thnx a lot - much appreciated ....

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L ....

Pure dynamite ....

Nice one - got this as Toshiba EMI vinyl from 1983 .... Edit : The session was recorded in 1982 and released as the following one in 1983 ....

"Sakara" ....

Probably the best of the 70's Max Roach 4tet "live" recordings - but they are uniformly excellent as is the studio date for Horo titled "The Loadstar" ....

Those memories ....

Desert island disc ....

Art Farmer was a great musician - thnx for sharing ....

Yes back in the day (aka mid 80's) when Virgin Megastore @Champs Elysees in Paris was a jazz collector's heaven ....
