Ok, then the Woods and Price seem to be gone, too... too bad, as the parts of the Woods I've once heard on the radio were terrific! Not sure I'd really need the Price, but the Woods and Anderson certainly look tempting!

Struth!!!!!! Where's the smiley for "heavily aggrieved to the point of actual anguish"? I guess I'll include it in the next order. MG yeah, well, I'm happy for myself, but I'd be rather annoyed in your position, too! even more so as I'll unlikely send in another order there all too soon... did I mention I also ordered Mankunku's Yakhal Inkomo, which I tried from HMV and some other sites with no luck before!?

Just got my shipping confirmation mail - the whole order is filled, including At Teal!

Sounds just like it would suit me well, then...

Happy Birthday! :party: Have one on me!

Yeah, I'm feeling better... oh wait, that's about you... glad to hear you're doing better, seriously!

Solo - and that club he's playing usually is reliable with their information. The night after he's scheduled to play solo in Basel as well, so I guess he's on a small solo tour, I didn't check his website, though.

i agree. he he... I wouldn't mind if that lady passed me by... but she ought to let the rain at home, please, still waiting for spring here!

alright then, finally got mine... 40£ on UK amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search?index=bl...;_encoding=UTF8 had to pay some taxes, but then the Hodges and Prima/Manone package slipped through so I'm not angry about that... looking forward to listening!

Also played Groove Holmes' "Blues All Day Long" and Teddy Edwards/Houston Person's "Horn to Horn" - two more fine discs! The later has Richard Wyands on piano, the former also features Houston Person.

Bumping this up - big fan of 32 Jazz here, renewed just now as I bought several discs I've wanted for a long time in a recent sale going on on another part of the forum... Right now playing this excellent Don Patterson disc, "Steady Comin' at 'ya", combining the album "These Are Soulful Days" (with Jimmy & Tootie Heath and Pat Martino) with three bonus tracks from "Movin' Up" and "The Return of Don Patterson" (all on Muse). One of the best covers from 32 Jazz, as far as I'm concerned...

that is economically spoken, too - not just as far as society is concerned (societal? is that word to use?)

let's hope them swizzers will do their usual "autonomer nachvollzug" on this, too, but I guess they won't... everyone is just protecting their own little gardens... liberals, ha ha! the most liberal party here is the social democrats!

For some reason that disc has been difficult for me to locate. Downloading from emusic or iTunes is one possibility. That is what I did. Thanks for the info, but the collector in me prefers the actual factory manufactured CD with all the art work and any liner notes. Never would of guessed that you are a "collector"

Not much time yet to really listen, but here's some impressions for #1-12 - very enjoyable so far, thank you, Conrad! #1 The opening sounds mighty much like that country boy from Oklahoma, or wherever he came from... one of those Lionel Hampton sessions? The Mosaic shall one day be mine, but so far I'm not very familiar with these sessions. Clarinet has a nice, raspy sound, the rhythm goes chunck chunck, violin is interesting, gives it a slight Django/Grappelli touch, though it's played in a less technically ok manner than Grappelli did, sounds a bit tame for Stuff Smith, though... no clue who it could be, but I guess not Venuti or Nance? Hampton is great of course! #2 Some Ellingtonian jungle-ism? I've played this one several times by now, fun stuff! That must be a bass sax, I think. The drumming is great, could be from one of those drummer-led big bands? Possibly Krupa featuring Roy Eldridge? Trumpet is nice, that's for sure! #3 That bass clarinet thing makes this sound like a much more recent recording to me. Freddie Green/Basie like rhythm, nice clarinet noodling before the Hawkish tenor gets underway. No clue what this could be. Hm, the drummer banging away makes it sound like an older recording again. Ok alto solo, but tenor was better I found. A bit too whimsical for my taste (for instance the writing at the end). #4 Boogie woogie time... nice but not something I could listen too often (reminds me of some of Hamp's Decca sides - though I only have that GRP 2CD compilation) #5 Now this one sounds familiar but hell if I could place it. Piano goes some nice places. Interesting trombone, drummer gets busy on his cymbals, would be great to have this in better sound to hear more clearly what's going on there! Hawkish tenor again, but then at that time, what else was there, besides Prez... kind of pre-JATP? Or is this from an early JATP concert? Not enough wild tenor and not enough musicians present, but then what do I know... piano is most distinct, is my impression. #6 Wow! Teagarden? Lovely combination there, acoustic guitar and trombone... and then the wah-wah trumpet, wow! #7 "Tea for Two", of course. Exuberant piano... this is a bit too much just bobbing along for my taste, and in between those pseudo virtuoso boring runs... not a favourite, I'm afraid. #8 Nice one, something from the late 20s I assume, no clue though... #9 More similar stuff, though this might be a bit less old... good to hear some clarinet on this compilation, definitely an instrument that would deserve being used more often in contemporary music! #10 Hm, these tracks just pass by too fast for me to really dig into them separately, they just of flow together... nice music, that's for sure, but I'm just not very familiar with much of it... on this one here the bass gets annoying, keeping on with the tonic and the fifth and some of those walking "fills" in between, just like in old european folk music, not really creative at all... Blanton must had quite some inpact when he arrived on the scene! #11 Now this is something I can relate to a bit more again... sounds somewhat familiar, I think. #12 Another boogie... fun!

I know that, but how can you play alto without teeth?

well, unless you'd want to play yer guitar with yer teeth, I assume...

I saw Ibrahim at that same club Weston will play several years ago with his trio... he was kind of tired, but I guess that just can happen if someone his age is on tour... still was nice! And late last year I saw him solo in a large church, and he played two and a half hourse instead of the scheduled 75 minutes... magisterial!

whoah, all you populists and simplicists... but lollipops for everyone, yes! I fully agree!

Not tonight, nor even tomorrow, but April 17: Randy Weston solo!!! Finally I get to see him, who's one of my biggest heroes! And even better, in a fairly small club! Looking forward very, very much to that!

The Kenny Clarke also holds two Lucky T sessions, don't forget that! One being in Quartet with Solal and Michelot, hence fitting in perfectly with the other sessions. The other one has additional horns. And with the Hubert Fol session added, it's a very fine disc anyway, as I pointed out above already.

I've had no news since sending in the order - too bad! Will let you know of course!

And looking up the Lucky Thompson discography I realize that except for that supposedly very rare "Club des Amateurs des Disques" release, I have all the 1956 Paris sessions Lucky did! I guess I'll put them onto a set of CDRs some day, in chronological order... On second look - wow, what a year for Lucky, 1956! So many great sessions done then, including the ones for ABC/Paramount in trio and quintet and with Oscar Pettiford! Also the Lionel Hampton Jazztone session, Quincy Jones' "This Is How I Feel About Jazz", and to end the year, the Satchmo all star dates and a session for one of Chris Connor's most outstanding albums! Impressive! And the year got underway by those great sessions for Savoy with Bags!
