There are two "like new" copies of Illinois Jacquet/Ben Webster's "The Kid and the Brute" on priceminister.com: http://www.priceminister.com/offer/buy/568...4-CD-Album.html For those who don't know: these compiles two albums (both 10 inchers, I think), Webster is on two long tracks of the first, the remainder is Jacquet's great little band. Plenty of good music! Forgot to mention: they cost 10-11 € only!

Others have... I think it might be worth a try to write a mail if you plan to order more than three discs, you might get some kind of offer (less than 10€ per disc, that is). I dimly remember someone mentioning that, longtime ago, so maybe it's no longer like that, who knows... That Pepper Adams one with Arvanitas looks fine! Anyone has heard the Byard and Redd discs? The Boni is discussed above a bit... And hellyeah, I want that Reece as well!!!

Now that RCA is part of SonyBMG and Mosaic has access to their vaults (see Henry Threadgill), the thought came up: how about a box of Lacy's RCA/Novus albums?

Well, I'm not opposed to expensive watches in general (not that I could afford one), but a classic IWC "Portugieser" for instance, I'd certainly wear it if I had one! But most expensive watches are just ugly in my eyes... Btw, the x-mas album is on its way, two copies, one for me dad

It's interesting that there are three fine young French lady sax players around right now - Alexandra Grimal with her fine organ trio (that is: ts/org/d), Géraldine Laurent with the Time Out Trio (as/b/d, sometimes with piano or fender rhodes added - saw her live and got her CD, highly recommended!), and Sophie Alour (ts, usually with p/b/d or elp/b/d, sometimes adding guitar as well). I've first heard all of them thanks to live broadcasts on French radio, and I want to get their discs (in the cases of Grimal and Alour, and if Laurent has a new one out, I'll look for it as well). Good to see that Grimal has one out on such a nice label now!

bump here's a thread about Ted Curson's "Pop Wine" (which I got, in the meantime). http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=14208 and a thread about James Spaulding's fine "Down With It": http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=48794 seems Futura/Marge have been doing some interesting reissues lately: Marge 45 Tribute to Albert Ayler - Live at the Dynamo Roy Campbell (trompette, trompette de poche, flûte de bambou, effets sonores et voix), Joe McPhee (saxophone ténor, trompette de poche et voix), William Parker (contrebasse et voix) & Warren Smith (batterie, percussions et voix) Pantin (France) le 21 novembre 2008 Blue Marge 1005 (upcoming) Sam Rivers - Crosscurrent Sam Rivers (saxophones ténor et soprano, flûte, piano & voix), Jerry Byrd (guitare), Rael Wesley Grant (basse électrique) et Steve Ellington (batterie) Paris-La Défense le 4 avril 1981 Futura Swing 01 (upcoming) Hal Singer - Blues and News Hal Singer (saxophone ténor), Jacques Bolognési (trombone), Jean-Claude André (guitare), Siegfried Kessler (piano, orgue hammond & flûte), Patrice Caratini (contrebasse), Art Taylor (drums) et Alain "Paco" Charlery (percussions) Paris le 18 mai 1971 Marge 43 Sophia Domancich / William Parker / Hamid Drake - Washed Away / Live at the Sunside Sophia Domancich (piano), William Parker (contrebasse) & Hamid Drake (batterie) Paris les 1er et 2 juillet 2008 Marge 42 Alexandra Grimal Trio - Shape / Live at the Sunset Alexandra Grimal (saxophones ténor et soprano), Antonin Rayon (orgue Hammond et Clavinet) & Emmanuel Scarpa (batterie) Paris le 30 juin 2008 Marge 41 FAB trio (Fonda / Altschul / Bang) - A Night In Paris / Live at the Sunset Joe Fonda (contrebasse), Barry Altschul (batterie) & Billy Bang (violon) Paris le 19 avril 2008 and more on their new releases page --------------------------- also I wasn't aware of some other rather recent releases that look tasty: Marge 40 Trio 3 - Wha's Nine / Live at the Sunset Oliver Lake (saxophone alto), Reggie Workman (contrebasse) & Andrew Cyrille (batterie) Paris le 28 octobre 2007 Blue Marge 1009 Ted Curson - In Paris / Live at the Sunside (Double CD) Ted Curson (trompette, trompette piccolo, bugle & voix), with Alain Jean-Marie (piano), Gilles Naturel (contrebasse), Philippe Soirat (batterie), Pierrick Pédron (saxophone alto), Guillaume Naturel (flûte), Julie Saury (percussions), Sylvia Howard (voix) et Ferhat Öz, Evrim Özsuca, Daiva Starinskaite, Jaanika Ventsel (voix & choeur) Paris les 30 et 31 août 2006 Futura Ger 34 Sahib Shihab + Jef Gilson Unit - La marche dans le désert Sahib Shihab (Saxophone baryton, et varitone soprano saxophone), Jef Gilson (piano électrique, ondoline et percussions), Pierre Moret (orgue Hammond, ondoline et percussions), Jean-François Catoire (contrebasse), Jean-Claude Pourtier (batterie, percussions et sifflet), Maurice Bouhana (batterie, percussions et flûte) et Bruno Di Goia (balafon, bongos et flûte) Paris le 15 février 1972

Yes, Filet de Soul! I think this must be the third or fourth thread were brownie and me recommend this one in tandem, so to speak The Sonet looks tasty but I guess it's hard to find if there are no used vinyl stores around...

...but he was Riverside's house drummer (or almost), appearing on dozens of albums for the label including three under his name. I wasn't aware he was on so many Riverside sessions! Yes, I have that, I think it was reissued by Fantasy, not strictly an OJC. Of course! That was a typo... I love "Cool Struttin'", but I think I love "Trio" even more!

That's what I was afraid of...

That's the trio track on "Milestones" (Columbia), right? "Ahmad's Blues" (the trio feature on "Workin'") is fun, too! More prime Philly Joe can be heard on "Sonny Clark Trio" (Blue Note, with Paul Chambers). The same trio with Jackie MacLean and Art Farmer cut Clark's classic "Soul Struttin'" (Blue Note as well). On many of the Coltrane sessions, btw, Art Taylor's on drums. Philly Joe would have been better, musically, but I guess his "issues" got the better of him too often, and he wasn't Prestige's (nor Blue Note's) preferred session drummer, alas.

I've had plenty of ISP Driver Error pages in the past couple of months or so, but in the past two weeks I think I've hardly had any trouble... sometimes I double-post because a post won't appear (instead Opera, my browser, tells me the connection is interrupted). So there's some slowness now and then, but generally it seems to work pretty well at this time.

So the label is 101 Distribution? Anyone knows anything about them? Google brings up a couple of hits but they fail to load: http://101d.com/ http://www.101distribution.com/

Yeah, that's a great concert. For those who don't do dime or trade live CDs/DVDs, I guess I would pay some to the bootleggers... great band in great form on that night! A couple of great photos from Dave Liebman's site: and some bits on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO4sloGk3P0

The Ellis is fine as well, though I guess more of a side-note in his oeuvre... I played it back to back with "Tears of Joy" (Wounded Bird reissue, I think, 2 CDs) and that wasn't the most favorable comparison.

Only found this one, but it's the thread I was thinking of: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=42958

And the two Ingfried Hoffmann (one comes as "Hammond Bond", disguising it contains a complete album with some bonus tracks), the Dexter Gordon/Slide Hampton... there are a few others containing complete albums: Ella Fitzgerald Live in San Francisco, and that Clark Terry ballad album. Also the Jimmy Webb album by Kurt Edelhagen is fun (and should be to your liking, I guess, TTK!) These have been discussed here before, I assume in various threads...

"Love and Theft" was the original, "Modern Times" the copy or second helping... Seriously: "Love and Theft was the first "Jack Frost" production (Dylan's alias, I gather?), and it was there where he found a new simplicity, yet not excluding some swampiness (Lanois, the Mississippi influence...), but it's much straighter than "Time Out of Mind", which indeed is a brooding dark album. But that is exactly why I love it... "Cold Irons Bound"... "Love and Theft" catches (mostly) the working band (with Augie Meyers added on accordion and organ) in their usual, swinging style of that time (before they got harder/rockier again, they did more acoustic stuff back then, with Tony Garnier on upright bass etc). --------------------- Anyway, the objections against "Joey" made me think of some other Dylan oddities... He liked Dubya He likes Sarkozy (who went backstage at one of the two April '09 Paris concerts and chatted with Dylan - a silly Rolling Stone article about Dylan, I guess in the June issue, mentioned that). He played for his popeness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKuWX-Pyb5s He did an ad for Victoria's Secret: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAAUV6E9tYo...feature=related (a song from "Time out of Mind", btw) And just now, there's a massive campaign for an ugly watch bearing his name: Some other bobbish silliness I found on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPHybJvBKeY...feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X450KgAlgIQ...feature=related

Yeah, I wondered about that as well!

Well, I'd be all for some more of those brown vinyl twofers... just make sure one of them contains the "Cliff Jordan" LP and some of that Pacific stuff will be reissued as well! I'm sure the missing Lighthouse Crusaders could nicely be extended to a 2LP set with some OOP tracks... I remember I once had one of the white w/orange photo vinyl twofers from somebody, with some Blakey or Brownie stuff that probably at that time was pretty rare... of course later on it was all on CD, but hey, if that's what the brown bag time will bring, then bring it on!

What a sad story! I always liked his light touch on all those classic Smith sides. Hope he'll pull through it and be able to perform for some more time!

Yes the Nonet is mighty fine! Get well soon, Joe!

just finished my first watch of this DVD: info: source: http://www.bjorner.com/DSN03275%201976%20R...II.htm#DSN03340 Pretty nice indeed! Got this by chance as it was offered cheaply by zweitausendeins.de a while back and added it to some other things I ordered, had no idea this even existed. It lacks in quality though, and there are annoying (Japanese?) subtitles for all the lyrics and even some "info-bars" popping up not at the bottom end but right through the middle of the image... They really ought to dig out the master videotapes and do a proper DVD reissue of this one! Edited to add: this is a release of the Hard Rain TV film, I forgot to mention.

Happy Burrn user here, ever since Nero almost drove me mad, quite a few years ago... there's also ImgBurn for DVDs and data CDRs. Easy and small programmes, very nice.

That's the problem, that it makes no sense to them. It's all so short term... that's the sad thing about the nowadays entertainment industry.
