There's some info here: http://home.att.net/~bobbeecher/trombone/trombone-p2.html "King "Flugabone". It is what you would have if you took a valve trombone and wrapped up the tubing like a flugelhorn, hence the name. Pitched in Bb and using a trombone mouthpiece, it has an 8½" bell and .500" bore...Similarly styled (and named), the "Flugelbone" made by Kanstul Music Northwest is designed for marching. It has a 9½" bell and a .509" bore." There's also a picture of Maynard Ferguson playing a Superbone on the same site.

One that comes to mind is Lee Konitz/Bill Russo -- "An Image" (Verve, 1959). Konitz with a string quartet and rhythm. It just works; thoughtful, beautifully played, inventive music, no pleading for extra credit. And Russo knew what he was doing. "An Image" is indeed a good one. Also, "Jazz Abstractions," often credited to John Lewis, but more of a Gunther Schuller date. It includes Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy for part of it.

There is another live version with Billy Harper on We Remember You on Fresh Sound.

I'll pass. Curious if Pangaea and Aghartha contain the full concerts which appeared on Japanese CDs or just the edited versions on the original releases.

There were some pretty turgid Third Stream compositions out there, but the Modern Jazz Society album is a winner. The Verve Elite had some interesting bonus tracks.

That 2 cd set was mislabelled, and is actually from the Both/And Club in San Francisco. I think Belden goes into the story behind this in the legit release's liner notes. Belden does mention that in the liner notes. I believe Bennie Maupin may have mentioned Both/And. However, there is some evidence that the Fresh Sound is as advertised (similar sounding piano, Howard Rumsey credit), but not from a night recorded for Blue Note. It's in one of threads referred to above.

Montreal 40 points

The best of the batch were on the original 2-LP release, but the rest are very good, including "The Sidewinder." I like the 2-CD Fresh Sound Lighthouse material even better.

I bought this on vinyl a few months back. Pleasant enough, Ross is a treat and it's always nice to hear "Midsömmer," but the Modern Jazz Society date is essential. Who is releasing this? Legit? Andorran? Andorian?

P.L.M made an interesting point about Horo in this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29098 "I've ask the question to some "specialists" about the complete vanishing of the HORO records. They explain me that SINESIO was a contractual RAI producers and the recording sessions was first intended to be broadcast on radio. Seems that actually, SINESIO don't own no RIGHT on this sessions anymore and legally can't produce CDs from them."

Sorry to hear that. He was on Tony Oxley's Columbia recordings.

Congrats! Looking forward to hearing this.

A belated Happy Birthday to the Organissimo Forum's No. 1 CFL fan!

I agree.

Quarter (Moscow) 2008 - Yes! Is Eight Compositions with Peter Niklas Wilson? Haven't heard that one.

I'd buy that.

My wife had it, which was a concern because she is in her second trimester. A moderate case, fortunately, but it sure wiped her out. She didn't have a fever.

I thought I read somewhere that there were rights issues with much of the Horo catalogue.

Excellent news. Rivers' "Black Africa" albums are fantastic. I have Perugia.

The very top photo, the V uniform, was the Vancouver Canucks uniform for part of the 1980s. The home version looked like an Oh Henry bar.

Leo is releasing a Braxton duet with Joelle Leandre from 2007. http://www.leorecords.com/?m=select&id=CD_LR_548/549

ESP just tweeted this: @espdisk: We just got word that Sirone passed away in Berlin. His music touched all of our lives. RIP !!!!! A MAJOR LOSS.

I think, much though I've loved Otis for decades, that he has the second best versions of all those. No 1s would be "Respect" - Wayne Henderson & the Freedom Sounds - this version absolutely LEAPS! "Day Tripper" - Odell Brown & the Organisers "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" - The Rolling Stones - I don't like the Stones at all, but I've got to admit... "Try a Little Tenderness" - Willis Jackson (the 1960 version with Jack McDuff, not his 1954 version, which s OK) MG I got to check out that Wayne Henderson version of "Respect"!

OK, here's mine: "Respect" - Aretha Franklin "Day Tripper" - The Beatles "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" - The Rolling Stones "Try a Little Tenderness" - Bing Crosby The best version for each song is by Otis Redding.
