not a track, really, but the title melody of Hitchcock's "Marnie", of course by Bernard Herman - kept haunting me for a couple of days. too bad Stephan Oliva didn't cover it on his "Ghosts of Bernard Herman" disc - would love to hear some jazz version(s) of that melody, and Oliva could pull that!

I decided to keep the old ones in this case. (But then as I buy the Selects more or less chronologically/by number, it would have taken a while till I arrived at this one anyway.) In addition, there's this one from Spain, including a couple of hitherto unreleased tracks, I think also omitted on the Select: link from where I took below info, with samples over there The Art Of Pepper - Omega Sessions: The Complete Master Takes (2 Unissued Tracks) Art Pepper Featuring: Art Pepper (as), Carl Perkins (p), Ben Tucker (b), Chuck Flores (ds) REFERENCE: FSRCD 378 BAR CODE: - PRICE: 10.75 € Contains the unissued tracks "Blues Rock" and "Rock Blues" (listen the samples). Digital remastering in 24 bit high resolution Limited edition digipack cover sleeve. Comprehensive notes, 24-page booklet fully illustrated. This CD presents the complete master takes from the legendary 1957 "Omega Sessions". The first eleven tracks were originally marketed on two 7 1/2 ips reel-to-reel stereophonic tapes by the Omegatape label, between 1957 and 1958. "Summertime" was not issued until the early 1980's on Lp on the Nadja label in Japan. The two previously unreleased tracks appear here for the first time. However, both tracks are missing from the so-called "The Complete Art Pepper Aladdin Recordings" marketed by the Mosaic and Blue Note record labels. The recordings were made on April 1 & 2, 1957 at the small Audio Arts Studio in Hollywood and the man who made them possible was Don Clark, a young disc jockey, concert promoter and Pepper fan, who in June 1956, become a good friend of the altoist. At that time, Art Pepper had been just released after serving 19 months in prison for heroin possession and Clark began acting as his personal manager, contributing to Pepper's rapid and successful return to the jazz scene. Clark after being directly involved in booking gigs and also in some of the most brilliant LPs Art Pepper recorded in those days, was finally able to reach his dream of becoming a record producer when he was appointed president of Intro Records at the end of 1956. "Clark brought Art Pepper to the label and that's how he got the job. THAT was his connection. ART was his ticket. It provided Clark with a job, and it got Art on wax, as we used to say in the old days," stated West Coast journalist John Tynan. The full history of how these recordings came out originally on Omegatape (and not on LP by intro) can be read in the outstanding booklet. Tracklisting: 1. Holiday Flight 5:10 2. Too Close For Comfort 6:08 3. Webb City 4:55 4. Surf Ride (Art Pepper) 4:41 5. Body and Soul 4:22 6. Begin The Beguine 7:24 7. The Breeze and I 3:33 8. Without a Song 7:37 9.

Sad news. I haven't really started exploring much of Scandinavian jazz, but sometime back there was a thread about the 3CD edition of "Jazz at the Pawnshop" (or it was just recommended in another thread... I think mikeweil was involved...) anyway, I got that one back then and it's marvellous indeed! I'll have to check out more of his music, eventually.

as for Lowe with Billy Bang, this one looks tasty: Billy Bang Sextet featuring Frank Lowe-Sweet Space Anima 12741 USA LP NYC, New York University, Loeb Student Center north lobby 11/15/79 Billy Bang-vln; Frank Lowe-ts; Luther Thomas-as; Butch Morris-cor; Curtis Clark-p; Wilber Morris-b; Steve McCall-d A Pebble is a Small Rock (Dedicated to Mr. & Mrs. Irving Stone) (Billy Bang) 16:47 Sweet Space (Billy Bang) 5:10 Loweski for Frank (T.F.R.) (Billy Bang) 12:55 Music for the Love of It (Butch Morris) 5:50 (Arrangements by Butch Morris and Billy Bang except Sweet Space, arranged by Billy Bang) Anyone knows it? And another one I like quite a bit, found the CD a couple of years ago: Frank Lowe-Tricks of the Trade Marge 02 F LP Rouen, Salle Sainte-Croix des Pelletiers December 8, 1976 Frank Lowe-ts; Butch Morris-cor; Didier Levallet-b; George Brown-d Navarro's Tomorrow (Lowe) 10:16 Anytime (Lowe) 6:05 Clear (Lowe) 5:02 A Ballad (Lowe) 5:26 Unsatisfied Blues (Lowe) 5:22 And Then (Lowe) 2:30 Frank Lowe-Tricks of the Trade Marge 02 F CD Rouen, Salle Sainte-Croix des Pelletiers December 8, 1976 Frank Lowe-ts; Butch Morris-cor; Didier Levallet-b; George Brown-d Groove (Lowe) 10:11 Fresh (Lowe) 9:50 Awake (Lowe) 11:23 In a Minute (Lowe) 9:40 Flash Back (Lowe) 1:13 (+ all tracks on original LP, see previous entry)

Yes, "Bodies and Soul" - the usual CIMP sound issues, I guess, but the music is terrific! "Fresh" I don't "get" somehow... I'll have to give it another try some day. This one I also like quite some (LP only I think, found a good used copy a few years ago): Phillip Wilson Quartet-Live at Moers Festival Moers Music 01062 D LP Moers, West Germany, 7th International New Jazz Festival 5/15/78 Phillip Wilson-d,perc; Olu Dara-tp; Frank Lowe-ts; Fred Williams-b Broadway Rhumba (8:21) Cha Cha (6:31) This Is For You (4:30) F & L (9:50) It's A Party (11:00) (All compositions by Phillip Wilson) Frank Lowe discography on mindspring: http://www.mindspring.com/~scala/lowe.htm

good luck with your project, sounds interesting!

oh, and I think delivery took so long because the dumbasses from DHL or whoever it was thought my address was non-existing... at least that's what one of the stickers on the parcel said... idiots - their job is to deliver mail but they can't even handle maps and plans and phone books...

My Patton box arrived last night! WOW! Holy, this looks great! The only drawback is that at the back it's fallen apart already, even though of course it was shrinkwrapped and all... no biggie, and it's massiv enough not to fall to pieces anyway, just the "hinges" (?) at the back were sort of stuck to the outher cardboard, like in some huge old accounting book or something, and that's not holding together. Anyway, it looks terrific, and it will likely take me years to actually play all the music and really dig into this, but it's been on my watchlist for a loooong time, and I'm sure whenever I feel like getting deeper into blues territory, this will be a great thing to explore!

yes, I mailed in my order last night as well! this shall be great!

He was discussed a couple of times, but not recently I think. Here's an earlier thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=29468 And the r.i.p. thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3885 Also I remember some discussion of Lowe in the funny rat thread (put in "frank lowe" in the search topic box at the bottom to find it, the thread's huge): http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=5071

ha, just went to check my mailbox again, and surely even though the mail was sent last night 10.30 our time, it just now appears as the latest mail (displayed after several more recent emails - weird) - great news!

Checked it again yesterday - the german edition is all german, including the wishes. Very enjoyable book!

These still turn up in sales over here... couldn't say if one's available right now, but I can keep my eyes open if you wish. Prize for the disc would be around 15$, plus some for shipping. That's still cheap compared to what new CDs usually cost here. And it might not be shrink-wrapped and show some wear... But it's also still listed on French Amazon (one for 15 euro, the next ones from 44 onwards!! Not sure the second entry would be the b/w digipack version, there were - US, I think - jewel case versions of many of these Vogues out there before): http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_ss_w?__mk_fr...mulligan+pleyel Best option is here: http://www.priceminister.com/nav/Musique/k...mulligan+pleyel New for 3.80€, used from 5.50-6.30€ - quite a steal! You'll need to know some bits of French to navigate through that site, though.

Manne's "2 - 3 - 4" (I think?) is wonderful indeed! Got an Impulse LP of that one (not sure if it's a mono or stereo, it's fairly old but sound is marvellous!) As for "TV Action Jazz," I just bought this one in a local sale, it's very short (27 minutes), but it's pretty cool - Herbie Mann's on tenor and flute, and Tony Scott on baritone and clarinet. Mundell Lowe is good! I see the Lonehill "complete" one, I guess it pairs this and the follow up "More TV Action Jazz"? Both of those came out (again) in 2007 on Sony/BMG (jewel case editions - not sure if they were part of the RCA Gold Series before, but Amazon also lists a 1999 edition for the first album).

I sent in my order a week ago, added the Teagarden and some singles to it!

Your "out of stock" notices are about the Ayler, right? Not the Patton?

Well, I was in touch with a guy from the site (had them put a Patton aside for me), and he was very quick and kind, so I guess you'd best send them an email and inquire... I will inquire about my Patton shipment as well if I don't get it next week!

it's my third Atzmon disc (got "musiK" and and the earlier "Exile," too) oh, and most of these were bought used and big piles, so I got some discounts.... and one I forgot: Buddy De Franco "Generalissimo + Live Date!" (Lonehill, minus 1 track, will have to buy more to get that missing track, he he)

over the last few weeks: George Benson/Jack McDuff - the recent Fantasy twofer Lockjaw et.al. - Very Saxy (RVG) Monterey 40 years 3CD set Budd Johnson / Charlie Shavers "Live" (Black & Blue) Cat Anderson "Plays W.C. Handy" (Black & Blue) Guy Lafitte / Wild Bill Davis "Lotus Blossom" (Black & Blue) The Chico Hamilton Trio (Fresh Sound) Ike Quebec "Heavy Soul" (Connoisseur) Art Blakey - Lausanne 1960 pt. 1 (TCB) Cannonball Adderley - Lugano, 1963 (TCB) Cannonball Adderley - in yurp (finally found a non-cactus normal CD of this, got the Landmark vinyl, one of my favourite Cannonball and 'teef albums) OP (the bad-mouthed one, not the 'cellist) "The More I See You" (TelArc - horrible label, I agree, but I have to fine Steve Turre albums by them, and some Ray Brown...) Gilad Atzmon "Refuge" (Enja) Ornette Coleman "Dancing in Your Head" (A&M/Verve) Co Streiff Sextet "Loops, Holes & Angels" (Intakt - finally, featuring the great trumpet player Russ Johnson as well as some of Switzerland's best jazz players) Roy Eldridge "What It's All About" (Pablo/Fantasy) Bix Beiderbecke - Masters of Jazz Vols. 4-6 (mostly Whiteman material, a nice companion to...) Bix/Tram/Tea Mosaic (lovely stuff!)

this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=13978 The book had a german edition sometimes last year, got it for x-mas and it's quite nice, indeed! The photos are mostly "snapshots", not composed photographs, but they're a great bunch of photos to have. And the book in its german edition is set to look like written on an old typewriter etc, pretty cool (it's been published, I think, by Reclam). The wishes themselves are, I think (but I'm not sure) in English (but that in the end doesn't make much of a difference, about 1000 or the total of 900 wishes - 3 by about 300 musicians - are "money" anyway... (sometimes it's simply "1. money, 2. money, 3. money" - but that's not what makes the book special, its the whole thing together that is very nice to have)

yup, welcome back here! sounds like quite some work (for just that reason I save all the installation files of all those downloaded programmes in one folder that I back up now and then - makes it easy to reinstall them, but of course you need to reconfigure everything again...)

7£ for an MP3 download? No way!

still waiting for the Patton to arrive... I'm a bit worried by now as the site says 1 week shipping within yurp, it's been 2 weeks now.
