Sorry I didn't find time to post, but I enjoyed the music tremendously! Haven't been playing much of that kind of jazz lately and your expert choices made me think several times I should dig up some of my avant stuff again soon! I thought some tracks sounded familiar, but after reading the answers, I think the only one I actually own and ought to have known is the Contemporary Jazz Quartet track (the double CD is great!), but I'm somewhat familiar with most of the others... and the Rigby track is great, yes! Never heard of him before!

I'd be in for another one of silly fun stuff somewhen next year (March, April...)

but then who in the world cares about Aerosmith... sounds interesting... though I guess a somewhat more modest issue (along the lines of the "Born to Run" longbox) might have suited me a bit better... (I love that concert included there so much that the 2CD set is on its way to me now, it's dirt cheap at amazon.fr, part of their 4CDs for 20€ offer, along with many great discs).

Yes, he's great!

Yes, indeed - as I said (off-topic-ally, so to speak) in the Curtis Amy thread, it's great to have you back here, Allan! Hope you'll stay for a while!

Hey, MG - hope you'll stay around for a while!

Not really sure who my favorite clarinet player is... one answer would be Jimmy Giuffre, another one Pee Wee Russell, but then I've not indulged deeply enough into older guys nearly as much as I ought to. Edmond Hall comes to mind immediately, though. Yes on Dolphy and Pepper, yes also on Tony Scott (though I'm more familiar with roughly 1954-1960). Also now and then I do like Buddy De Franco, too. From the contemporaries, both Michel Portal and Louis Sclavis are great. Also Gianluigi Trovesi (who usually plays bass or e-flat clarinets). Also Michael Moore is a terrifically gifted musician, in my humble opinion. And yes, yes, yes! The Lonehill set of John La Porta is terrific, highly recommended to anyone with open ears or a liking of early Mingus, Teddy Charles or anything similar.

Hm, looks pretty interesting to me, I have to say (after having checked the discographies, that is).

Enjoying the thought that I'll soon get The Complete Master Jazz Piano Series (to add to my pile of as yet unhread music )

Yes indeed!

first one that comes to mind: Horace Silver - Song for My Father done in two sessions with two consecutive editions of the Horace Silver Quintet Leo Parker - Rollin' with Leo was also done in two dates, with different bassists & drummers. Dexter Gordon - Landslide was a best of two sessions compilation, with an added track from the great date with Kenny Drew. Art Blakey - Buhaina's Delight was done in two sessions (same line-up though) Bu's "Indestructible" also added one tune from an earlier session. And some of the Morgan/Shorter/Timmons editions albums were also compiled from different sessions (with Walter Davis on some tracks). Also some Freddie Roach albums were done in two sessions (Mo' Greens Please, Good Move) Tony Williams' "Life Time", too, but that's an unusual album for BN standards anyway, as it has varying line-ups.

Do you have the link for the whole list of the new deletions? not sure it hasn't already been posted above, but here it is again - sent by Truebluemusic on July 27: Ok, it HAS been posted before, but anyway... The King Cole Trio Transcriptions 3CD-set comes highly recommended, I just gave it all a spin again a few days ago. Very relaxed, lots of piano playing! And fine guitar (as always) by Oscar Moore (on discs 1 and 2, disc 3 has Irving Ashby).

McCoy Tyner's Select, discs 2 and 3

Just gave a first spin to Cecil McBee's "Mutima" (German Bellaphon CD), which I acquired last week - pretty nice!

Ah, silly me... it's the shout chorus there that I mean! Memory played a trick on me... (I mixed it up with a sax soli in another swinging number we did back then, but I can't remember what I meant). Anyway, what I'm interested in is that shout chorus, but it's really so simple, I guess I can play it after listening to it two more times...

Your request leaves me a little confused. I have the Neal Hefti arrangement. Yes there's a kind of call and response between the reeds and the brass, but there is no sax soli. However, there's space for a tenor sax solo. Maybe it's just all part of the theme... I don't quite remember that arrangement we played back then. Would you have a lead sheet or anything? Maybe a tenor part? I'll have to play the recording again later, but I have to run now.

bump for the merkins!

Just in case that's not clear: I'm speaking of the Neal Hefti arrangement done for Count Basie on "The Atomic Basie"! We played that in high school but of course I don't have any sheet music left from that time...

Hey guys... in six weeks or so, I'll play some saxophone at my sister's weeding - she wanted none of them church ogun... well, she'll get it at the opening and closing of the ceremony, but in between me and a friend of hers will play three fancy duets on tenor/bari and I might even try the bitchy soprano for one... now I have some weird idea to hook up "Fever" (her choice) with parts of "Splanky"... and as I'm a lazy bastard and haven't been transcribing anything for years now, and time is scarce, would anyone here have some kind of lead sheet and the sax soli part of that tune and could send me scans? That would be oh-so-kind! (And believe me, as I usually play in B, I'll still be transcribing some bits for the baritone anyway, so I'll still get some practice... and I'll also be trying some kind of arrangement of "Waltzing Matilda", that chestnut from down under... which is where I might try the bitchy straight horn, too.)

As it wasn't me, here's another possible lead (though it's not listed in that thread).

as in: of course

I've got a few ideas... took a few notes, but only 3-4 tracks so far... though maybe February 2011 might be fine. Just a little fun compilation though, nothing big on the scale of my first BFT and nothing so strictly thematic as my second one. #83 also kind of suits me

Gee, I'd love to see him again!

no no, guns don't kill!

Saw Lee Konitz live twice - both times a thrill! Also Oliver Lake (three times) and Roscoe Mitchell in a terrific solo performance (mostly alto, some soprano, too). Allen, great story about Jackie! Might have been interesting, certainly more so than CT/Coltrane (which again might have been interesting somewhat later - or earlier? - in the game) and might have pushed Jackie into directions... more progressive?
