I know we're talking sixties here, but another forgotten one who recorded a few gems for Blue Note a few years before that is Thad Jones! My own favourite is Mogie. KD of course ... but I somehow tend to prefer him more before he made the five albums with Henderson. The Coles album a gem ... I don't really know. I like it, warts (Wright) and all, but I think Coles' "The Warm Sound" is his one true gem!

I guess it would be another nightmarish job with regards to discographical research, at least ... and profit would be small as some of those nice Spanish outfits would be fast throwing out a cheap duplicate release that stupid chain stores would offer instead of the originals (happens all the time here, you get all the crappy stuff but less and less of the remaining good stuff). But obviously I'd love it!

Very cool interview, very cool guy! I've heard half of that double disc on radio shortly after its release and remember it was pretty darn good! Back then I had no idea about Charlie's jazz leanings and it was a most pleasant surprise!

Happy Birthday, Allen!

The perversity of the holding corporation called America ... don't you love it?

No idea how to get there with a Mac ... but be aware that the DVD has lossy audio (all DVDs have). Prob. 192 kbs or something. With Windows, I've got some software which creates an MPG from the DVD and that then can be opened in audio progammes and saved again as audio-files (WAV) ... has to be tracked manually then. I did that with the DVD in the big Bitches Brew box, but quite frankly I'm not even sure I ever once listened to the CDR I burned in the end. It's a hassle anyways.

I guess it's time for this perennial favourite once more:

The Tremble Kids The Mama and the Papas Adam & Eve

Got the first LP with some delay ... guess I might go for #2, too, if the price is right! Enjoy the first one a lot!

Just checked mine (Verve Originals, 2008, seems to be a US copy as it has all the FBI crap printed all over) - the noise instability goes on for quite a bit longer, 20 or so seconds. No need to get a new copy, Guy! But too bad they couldn't fix it. However, as Big Beat Steve says, it's really hard to tell if it's a reed (too much saliva) issue or an audio issue - but brownie's post and my ears suggest it's indeed the later!

... but, he asks, stepping awkwardly onto foreign grounds, where's "Natural Essence"? and then he's gone again ...

Hm, to be honest I find "On Broadway" one of the weakest of the many Prestige releases from those years ... as I have it and "Today and Now", I will certainly not downgrade by going Fresh Sound anyway.
