Now that's a refreshing comment! You're not pulling any legs here? Thanks for clearing this up! I didn't yet have a close enough look... sounds like they got it right, then! What errors? The thing about the missing timings bugs me with all of Hip-O's jazz sets... same for the smaller ones such as the Ella in Japan or Jazz at the Hollywood Bowl. Don't get it why they don't print the timings anywhere, when they have at least two tracklistings with every set!

Oh, they're great! Johnson has played with Streiff's earlier band, her sextet (it had Weber on bass) and I've seen a great live show by them and enjoy the disc (also got the earlier sextet disc with another trumpet player - all on Intakt of course). That festival looks quite impressive: I'd definitely go on 3/6, 3/9, 3/10 and 3/11, maybe also on 3/7 and 3/8 and other nights... wow! I'd love to get to see all of these concerts, really!

Oh, Lake, Weber and Ulrich have appeared in Zurich before, in trio - as part of an earlier edition of the same festival! That was great... you got Trio 3 (with Irene Schweizer), Reggie Workman solo, and Lake with this local rhythm section. Christian Weber is an amazing bass player, young guy, big sound. Ulrich is a fine, old-fashioned drummer, I think age-wise somewhere in between Weber and Lake. The trio hit it off right away, it seems, so they needn't much thinking when they were invited again, and Wogram is a welcome addition (amazing trombone player that needs to be heard live). The Lake-Weber-Ulrich trio has also made a CD for Intakt: http://intaktrec.ch/172-a.htm Their initial encounter was broadcast on Swiss radio, and a photo from that concert can be seen in the above linked page. (Edited to add: I don't know the CD yet)

That sounds interesting, Mike! So far, all I know from Dell are a few (great) radio captures of the D.R.A. trio.

The Satchmo price is weird... will come down, I guess (40€ is the price on amazon.fr for most of them, btw). Guess I'll grab me the Bechet... still want the two missing RCA Tribune 2LP sets (Vol.3/4 and Vol.5/Delauney), but this would be nice in the meantime, I guess.

The recent "Dogon A.D." reissue has revived my own interest... got hold of a pair of WSQ LPs recently ("Plays Duke Ellington" and "Dances and Ballads") - while I can relate to the comments above about preferring Hemphill and Bluiett in more open settings, the Ellington LP is still masterly and beautiful. The other fairly recent Hemphill acqusition of mine was "Live in New York" - very good, too! That duo with Warren Smith, I need to dig it up... I've owned it for years but I can't even remember having listened to it - gee!

Tonight at the 10th (already! congrats!) Unerhoert festival in Zurich: CO STREIFF – RUSS JOHNSON – GERRY HEMINGWAY Co Streiff: Saxophone / Russ Johnson: Trumpet / Gerry Hemingway: Drums LAKE-WEBER-ULRICH FEAT. NILS WOGRAM Oliver Lake: Saxophone / Christian Weber: Bass / Dieter Ulrich: Drums / Nils Wogram: Trombone Will miss the first set (by local sax player Christoph Grab) as I'll catch a movie first ("The Libeled Lady" with Jean Harlow, Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy and William Powell). Good way to start the weekend, I think... but there's still half a dozen office hours between now and then...

That must be one of the most moronic sentences ever posted in a eulogy-thread... Motian is up there in that league, and you know it. Does it offend you that he wasn't of African-American heritage? Is it a plain and simple fact that he can't be in the big league because of his complexion? Do you use rest- and other rooms designated "for whites only" or what? Gee... You know, when I saw Motian live first (of two times), in 1996 with the "Three Guys" band (Konitz, Swallow, Motian), Lee Konitz played totally unamplified in a huge hall... that alone was amazing enough, since his fragile and lyrical sound had so much force and projected amazingly strong. Motian, though, played dense and driving drums, yet he never, ever was overbearing. The whole mix of power and intensity with lyrical, melodic playing, was most impressive!

Know him from the great Erich Kleinschuster Sextet - r.i.p. November strikes hard this year... the final curtain seems to fall on the golden era of jazz.

Per Paul Motian, Jimmy Crawford was "a motherfucker"! I think the consensus is that Paul Motian was, also. quite definitely, in my humble opinion!!!

The Baraka track on the Murray is super weird - there's a story somewhere that even the musician felt ashamed of Baraka... ESP seems like the right place for a reissue (thanks to brownie I've got the DIW CD though).

Same on the blue KD-pic WestWind disc - but I still don't get where the Chris Connor titles can be found!

Jimmy Crawford!?! DANG! Can you get any hipper than that?!

Sorry Dan, misread your post... I had read your post above in a way that I read the "this" in "I don't see any indication this has been issued officially" as reference to the TCB disc. Things like this happens to non-natives, I'm afraid.

I thought we were talking of the WestWind CD with four tracks identical with the FM album and two additional tracks... guess there were TWO WestWind/JazzDoor CDs, then? The WestWind disc I have looks like this: And what romualdo wrote in the first post fits: So the one you pictured, brownie, has music that is not on the KD WestWind disc? Does it contain the two FM-album-tracks missing on that one?

ok, thanks!

Missed the Frisell, but Sex Mob was very good and Threadgill and Taborn were both great!

While it is great that this album finally is coming out on CD, I'm not sure that I need it twice! TOCJ 50152's title indicates of course that the session was not recorded in a studio, while the little-known TOCJ 50156 is actually an imperative to the infirm. Great cover! As for additional music: would be cool... but a Japanese reissue won't include any, will it? any news there? just nosing around on dustygroove.com and can find only one listing there: http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=npktf49xt3&ref=browse.php&refQ=incl_oos%3D1%26amp%3Bincl_cs%3D1%26amp%3Bkwfilter%3Dcannonball%2Badderley%2Blive

Hum... got the WestWind last year and bought the EMI Japan reissue last week - haven't played that one yet, but the price was right and there's two new tunes. My question though: what do you mean with the last part of your post, brownie? What "other titles" are you talking of, and on what CD versions are they to be found? As for the album-only policy... I don't get it either, but I fully agree that these recent Japanese reissues are sounding good and I'm glad to have them. (One where I'm really pissed about the absence of the bonus tracks though, is the Groove Holmes with Webster!)

ok - Winnipeg 30 for me then

What's this all about? Been invited by GA, but the only thing I do understand in here is the bit about the Mosaic gift certificate, so just hand me that one and you all deal with the rest, okay?

Shit, that's very sad. So glad to have seen him live though...

The recent reissues (2009-2011) all list him as playing bass guitar, if that's what you mean by guitar.

Seems he played mostly guitar on his own recordings? Never heard any...

Same as Sangrey here... enjoy bits of Kaempfert now and then - of course all the better if Herb Geller, Jiggs Wigham or Ferdinand Povel were involved (as on the album "Swing"). Even bought half a dozen of the reissues that have appeared 2009-2011 (seems they did all the albums again... I dimly remember reading so in an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine at least - probably written after the final batch was out somewhen ealier this year).
