    Tut mir Leid, ich kenne ihn nicht. RIP.

    Bekannt wurde der gebürtige Düsseldorfer unter anderem als Kapellmeister von "padlt noidlt" - dem Orchester des Zirkus Roncalli. 1987 eröffnete er mit seinem Ensemble "Adam Noidlt Intermission" die Documenta in Kassel. Zuletzt trat Frank Köllges mit seiner Gruppe "Missiles" auf.

    It's hitting the Minneapolis jazz scene pretty hard. I just saw her a month ago when we were down at Jazz Central (NE Minneapolis jazz club) and she was her usual bubbly self. She was one of the best businesswomen in the Twin Cities, always hustling on the phone. Great singer and person.

    There will probably be a memorial in the near future, for all of the Minneapolis Organissimo fans.

    I Hope so. For all her German fans, I wrote her this

    Ah, now I remember where Johnny Glasel's name last crossed my searches:

    I have the original RKO-Unique LP of the Westchester Workshop LP (and therefore half of that Fresh Sound CD) so for the time being (maybe wrongly) skipped that reissue.

    Yes, that Westchester Workshop is a very insteresting obscurity.

    What's the year, when the RKO-Unique-LP was published? (I think, it's the same label who edited the LP Mingus in Stuttgart 1964?)

    Johnny Glasel played in the 1940s with Bob Wilber and Sidney Bechet, in the 50s also with Bob Wilber's Ensemble The Six and with Bill Russo. Under his own name, he recorded several albums, most notably John Glasel Brasstet (1959), with Eddie Bert, Gene Allen, Louis Mucci, Jimmy Buffington, Dick Cary, John Drew und Ed Shaughnessy; the recordings were published 45 years later on Fresh Sound. Most prominent was his role on the Into the Hot-Session, where he' s been heard on three titles of John Carisi, published unter Gil Evans Orchestra: Into the Hot (Impulse). In his later years he has worked a session musician with John Denver, Walter Wanderley und Astrud Gilberto (I Haven't Got Anything Better to Do 1969), in the 1970s with Roberta Flack and Eddy Mitchell (Made in USA).

    French bass player, critic, historian Jacques B. Hess died last week in Bonzac, near Bordeaux, where he retired a couple of decades ago.

    He was a familiar figure on the Paris jazz scene and played with Claude Bolling, Jack Dieval, Sonny Grey and many others.

    Hess subbed briefly for Jimmy Woode in Duke Ellington's orchestra during a French tour in 1959. He also accompanied Bud Powell and Barney Wilen for an Italian tour in 1961 and appeared on Eric Dolphy's last recorded appearance (with Donald Byrd and Nathan Davis in a 1964 Jack Dieval date).

    His WWII actions earned him the Legion of Honor (he ended the war in the infamous Buchenwald concentration camp).
