The french jazz and stride Pianist Philippe Bas has died. In his later years he played in the streets of Paris. see my obit http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Bas_%28Musiker%29

Not sure where you got this information, but the obituary you linked to says he appeared on hundreds of recordings in a career that spanned 70 years. Are these commercially released recordings? The Lord online discography list only five sessions for him. He's not listed in the Cook/Morton's Penguin Guide to Jazz (editions 1933, 2001 and 2006).

Thanks for the information about the Serge Chaloff-Session. I just added it to my obit http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Vega RIP Al!

I said : Evans with tried to leave the contract at the Impulse Label with editing "Into The Hot" as "The Gil Evans Orchestra" (read in Stephanie Stein Crease's biography)

1961 zwang ihn der Vertrag mit Impulse! ein weiteres Album aufzunehmen, aber er stieg auf seine Weise aus dem Vertrag aus: Da er keine Material hatte, um eine neue LP aufzunehmen, bot er stattdessen als formeller Leiter von Into The Hot (Impulse!) unter seinem Namen Projekten der jüngeren Musiker Johnny Carisi und Cecil Taylor für je eine Plattenseite eine Plattform, versehen mit einem Cover mit Evans’ Foto ähnlich der von Out of the Cool. Gefragt nach dem Grund für dieses „Abfallprodukt“ meinte Evans, dies sei die einzige Möglichkeit gewesen, die Musik der von ihm bewunderten Künstler zu hören

Big Beat Steve, werfe bitte einen Blick auf das Wikipedia-Projekt http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz-Nekrolog_2011 dann kennst du mein Interesse! Meine Organissimo-Beiträge sind sozusagen ein "Abfallprodukt"! Gruß Holger

2007 legte ich den Wikipedia Artikel über Pre-Bird an. (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Bird) Nach meinen Recherchen heißt sie Lorraine Cousins. Ich schrieb damals: Eclipse und Weird Nightmare bereiten die Bühne für die relativ unbekannte Sängerin Lorraine Cousins. [Leonard] Feather kannte sie von ihrer Arbeit bei Serge Chaloff; sie verschwand aber offenbar bald danach aus der Jazzszene. Cousins gelingt es relativ gut, sich in die schwierigeren Kompositionen von Charles Mingus hineinzufinden. Holger
