Very sad news.

the Polish stuff at least (mostly) fits the time frame, unlike some other of my recommendations

I think he overdosed with the truth

Certainly no disagreement from me on that point!

Yes, the albums with McDuff are a fine bunch, all three of them! Not that big a fan of Poppa Lou, I'm afraid ... his opinionated manner gets on my nerves bigtime, though his music can be very good, even if his own playing always seems somewhat "derivated" to me, to put it in a rather nice way

Yes, all Japanese reissues I lately got (including plenty Toshiba/EMI ones) had flimsier than usual jewel cases ... But I'm still confused ... the Mingus I got (the second of his non-playing albums) is not on the list linked above ... so that one is (as I assumed) real Japanese? (Still in flimsier case.) And about that list, the Rhino reissue(s?) of "Warne Marsh" weren't available in in the UK? Or what kind of bull is that "never been issued before on CD" line there ... nationalist/peninsular crap? Does that exclude CDs available up and down all vendors sites in the western "hemi"sphere (it's more like a 10%-sphere or so, or even less, I guess)? Or was that Marsh really so rare? I thought I'd seen it around, but then having the Mosaic, I didn't need it ...

I'm planning to buy that one on Sunday

That's a great suggestion!

yes yes yes!

Hey, that's post-McLuhan there Wonderful, though!

Yes, in 1992, SV-0194. Was very happy to see it turn up in my mailbox after ordering it from a sales mailing list of a Swiss shop (they have good offers, but if someone's faster than you ...)

Yes on Melis! Also this one: And HELLYEAH on South Africa! There's plenty of dedicated threads around, I'd rather have the OP look them up instead of this thread going "recommend all music from after 1960 that you like" (which is where it's been heading from the git-go ... it's all post-Coltrane music anyway ;-)). This one's the best entry point, I guess: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=32699 But there are others ... I pulled together several links once, there might be newer threads I missed back then:

He's pre-Coltrane But then, seriously, what jazz from around 1965 onwards isn't "post Coltrane" in one way or another, anway? Okay, Louis Armstrong's All Stars and Ellington's and Basie's bands were still around, but ...

Sahib Shihab sends "Herr Fixit" (and another nice model) to help:

And in France, there's Barney Wilen, too ... Martial Solal has been mentioned ... there's also René Urtreger, who made some great recordings ...Henri Texier, too (the three Romano-Sclavis-Texier albums are all easily recommended), Michel Portal (of whom I don't know many official releases, but he's a great musician!), Louis Sclavis (who has made among other things a lengthy series of good ECM albums) ... Bernard Peiffer is pre-bop, but in a way that many fans of modern jazz should enjoy (and his postumous disc "Formidable" shows he went modern, too).

recently go the old Savoy/Denon of this one ... very good album!

Regarding Doldinger, his early stuff is fine indeed. German Universal put out this 4CD set some years ago, seems it's OOP and expensive now, though: I'd love to see a proper reissue of "Blues Happening", which is slightly later and very good! Doldinger is also on this one, short buy nice tunes (and still available): As far as Kühn goes, all his albums with brother Joachim from the sixties are good, and a few have been reissued lately, the first one on Impulse is a classic, but already OOP as well, it seems ... so is the second, which is a bit messier (and yeah, that's Karl Berger of course): But there's also this one, from the recent batch of Amiga (GDR) reissues, which is still around: speaking of Amiga, and since plenty of stuff with more or less clear avantgarde leanings has already been mentioned anyway, this one's effin' amazing: Since Man with the Golden Arm has been mentioned, I must give huge props to my man couw for hooking me up with much of this stuff, some years ago!

never came around checking him out so far ... but I recently stumbled over this:

Some from Poland ... The "Polish Jazz Quartet" has been reissued as by Jan "Ptaszyn" Wroblewski, the great tenor saxophonist, too ... and the Calig LP by Stanko is phantastic too! The first of the two Namyslowskis is the one to absolutely get ...

My best guess below, though I'd really like to her the opinion of some of you who are familiar with all these musicians from back in the day! Dizzy Gillespie (t), Barney Wilen (ts), Stan Getz (ts), Rodney Jones (g) ,Mike Richmond (b), Mickey Roker (d), Billy Hart (cga, perc) 1. I Can't Get Started 2. A Night in Tunisia Dizzy Gillespie (t, voc, mouthharp), Barney Wilen (ts #3-4), J.C. Heard (d #4-5) on #5 add Hank Jones (p), Milt Hinton (b) 3. Improvisation After the Rain (Gillespie-Wilen) 4. Dizzy Banter > Ceciliana (Mouthharp Improvisation) 5. Love for Sale (Cole Porter) Getz, Dizzy and Barney are for sure, Jones, Hinton and Heard are being named during "Love for Sale" (which is called "Ceciliana" in the subs, but Dizzy mentions that title before he starts his mouthharp improv, during which Barney - who kinda left already - awkwardly tries to rejoin, while Heard starts joining in on drums (standing behind the kit and using his hands). The first track, "I Can't Get Started" (where the opening notes are missing) can be watched on Youtube as well: The remaining tracks are on the video already linked to in the previous post.

comes with another cover in the age of CD ... fine one, with Larry Young, cover, discographies and common knowledge notwithstanding - read it up here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=144

Just about to finish a first listen to "Duet" ... can anyone tell me who's in which channel? Sounds like it's always the same split/aural situation, but I wouldn't really be sure, not being as familiar with Myers or Abrams as I feel I should be (well, I'm working on it!) Btw, the first album with Amina on that I really fell in love with is this one, probably a bit off topic, but it deserves each and every mention, in my opinion:

UK Amazon has this set for £39.99 (take off VAT) -> good buy for us in Australia - comes to approx Aus $66 ($3.50 per disc) That price is from a marketplace seller, so no VAT discount ( at least not for me in Canada). @romualdo: do you ever get any VAT deduction on seller's offers? Would be cool, but none for me!

History lesson needed from yo' oldsters Grand Parade du Jazz, Nice, July 14, 1978 part 1: "A Night in Tunisia" Dizzy Gillespie (t, mouthharp), Stan Getz & Barney Wilen (ts), Rodney Jones (g), Mike Richmond (b), Mickey Roker, Billy Hart (d, perc) part 2: Rain Improvisation Dizzy & Barney part 3: "Ceciliana" (that's what Dizzy says) into "Love for Sale" Dizzy (solo) + short bit by Barney, band joining: Hank Jones (p), Milt Hinton (b), J.C. Heard (d) the info from Crownpropeller also gives Andy Laverne (p), for the first group, but I don't hear any piano ... I got a part of this (just the short "Tunisia", in a trade years ago, and there got the line-up as: Dizzy, Getz, Barney, Jones, no bass player, Jeff Brillinger on drums and Lawrence Julian on bongos (which again is wrong, that's congas on the stage there, of course). Anyone can clear this? The crownpropeller entry, as well as a video of another short tune from Nice 1978 can be found here: http://crownpropeller.wordpress.com/tag/barney-wilen/ (edit: can't be Brillinger of course, unless he was doing a minstrel ...)

Just finishing my fist sping of this ... very enjoyable! But it being a CDR ain't that cool ... seems regular practice with Acrobat (also seems they're being defended here regularly, but they still look fishy to me, at least as far as jazz goes).
