Shit! Am I the only one who even tries to eat a 'healthy' breakfast ? Every day, without fail I eat the same thing- German muesli ( it being the cheapest ) bean milk natural yoghurt banana and any other fruit in season Italian roast coffee, giant size I guess I risk being branded a wimp/health freak.

The Japanese sometimes parody themselves. There is a small block of flats round the corner from me called ( I swear) ' THE RABBIT HUTCH', blazoned in big letters on the entrance

State of the Tenor is, of course. a Blue Note release. My mistake, sorry.

All the BN's are great, but the two I most often play are both non BN: So Near , So Far and State Of The Tenor. Both are indespensible.

Mikeweil 'June's Got Rhythm' , is certainly available here, in Tokyo. If you want me to send you a copy just ask. I think it would be about $15.00 plus air mail. I'm a big fan of June Christy by the way, she's great. There are several other ' twof'r' cds available besides, the wonderful, 'The Song Is June'. ' Duets' is also out in a new 24 bit remaster but I don't know how much of an improvement it is over the original jewel box edition.

That's a shame. I count myself lucky to have seen the Experience a couple of times on stage in small clubs around the time Hey Joe was making noises in Britain. To say they were sensational would be an understatement

There are three available on Fresh Sound /RCA-BMG Phineas ' Rainbow Fabulous Phineas Jamaica The first two are especially good. As already mentioned, these three Contempory titles are great - The Great Jazz Piano Of PN Harlem Blues A World Of Piano !

The Tollivers and Stanley Cowells are very good. Other goodies are Ted Curson ' Tears For Dolphy' and Brew Moore ' Svingtet 14'.

The Bill Barron line up looks great but I didn't like it at all. It doesn't hold up and is far weaker than any of his other records.in my opinion. Go for the Savoys instead.
