There was an earlier discussion somewhere, but supposedly not in a thread dedicated to it, so I can't find it with the one word only search function, so allow me to post the full info here, in a new thread. *************************************************************************************** ******************** * * * Miles in Belgium * * * ******************** Information on contents from www.Miles-trees.org A. 1957 and 1967 Total time: 77:37 1. Kees van Kooten on Miles: Friendship 00:11 ====================================== Birdland, Broadway, New York City October 1957 Miles Davis, Bobby Jaspar, Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones 2. All of You 08:26 3. Four (inc) 04:27 -------------------------------------- Peter L's entry Nov '04 October 17-30, 1957 (3 items; TT = 12:47) Birdland, New York NY AFRS radio broadcast Miles Davis Quintet Miles Davis (tpt); Bobby Jaspar (ts); Tommy Flanagan (p); Paul Chambers (b); Philly Joe Jones (d) Introduction 0:10 "Here we go, with Miles Davis and the Quintet, from Birdland, with 'All of Me'..." All of You (C. Porter) 8:16 Four (M. Davis) (incomplete) 4:21 Voiceover 4:19-4:21: "One Night Stand has come to you through the worldwide..." (fade out) 12" LP: AFRS 4448; Jazz Band EB 418 CD: Jazz Unlimited JUCD 2050 I'm unsure of the exact date of this recording. Davis was out of commission during September 1957 following surgery. Ken Vail has the Davis Quintet with Sonny Rollins, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor at Café Bohemia for four weeks (August 31-September 27), but the first post-surgery engagement was apparently at Café Bohemia in mid-October (October 11-16), followed by a two-week stay at Birdland, (October 17-30). Many thanks to Chris DeVito for help with this date. Sonny Rollins left the Quintet to form his own band, probably during Davis's recovery. Soon thereafter Davis fired Taylor and Garland. For replacements he found Bobby Jaspar, Jimmy Cobb, and Tommy Flanagan. Cobb soon left, to be replaced by Philly Joe Jones. These tunes, originally issued on an AFRS transcription, were probably recorded sometime during the two-week stay at Birdland. According to Chris Sheridan, Cannonball Adderley replaced Jaspar in the Quintet in early October, and he was in place for the Café Bohemia and Birdland dates (see above). It's possible that Adderley replaced Jaspar during one of these engagements, but the saxophonist here is definitely Jaspar. Sheridan also claims that Adderley joined the Davis group for a one-night performance at Philadelphia's Convention Hall (October 19). The Davis Quintet (with Adderley), along with groups led by George Shearing, Gerry Mulligan, Chico Hamilton, and Helen Merrill, then participated in the "Jazz for Moderns" tour which lasted until late November. Some of the venues: Carnegie Hall, New York (Nov 2); Kiel Opera House, St. Louis (Nov 12); Kansas City Auditorium (Nov 13); Huff Gymnasium, Urbana-Champaign (Nov 14); Orchestra Hall, Chicago (Nov 15); Masonic Auditorium, Cleveland (Nov 16); Masonic Temple, Detroit (Nov 17); Carnegie Hall, New York (Nov 22); National Guard Armory, Washington (Nov 23). Jan Lohmann lists two additional items, "Nature Boy" (4:26) and "A Night in Tunisia" (1:30, nc), but I have not heard these. -------------------------------------- 4.

Well, I know guys... Gumbo was Pony's, but those bonus tracks by Booker w/Larry Young is what I was talking about...

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Well, over here they always were expensive - even the crappiest early Freshsound discs (for instance "Charlie Mariano Plays" or "Stu Williamson Plays") with photocopied partial liner notes without credits and similar hack-jobs cost 25$ over here, unless you were lucky enough to find them in some bins. Plus, they always look like used CDs, even if they're new...

Jazz of Two Cities was on a Blue Note or Capitol CD a few years ago, paired with the famous Tristano date with those two freely improvised tunes. Great CD. "Sound of Surprise" is pretty good as well. "Freewheelin'" is in stores here, I think as a Freshsound digipack (does Lonehill do digipacks as well? Funny how those cheapo labels slowly start looking glossy... and annying that them swiss stores think those cheapo discs are worth 20$ or more!)

I assume there'd be some ballad-like Trane performances with Elvin not actually soloing but really contributing a lot to the vibe of the performances, on albums like "Crescent", "Coltrane" (the Impulse one - "Out of this World"), "Quartet Plays", and maybe even on "Sun Ship".

It seems the Booker Ervin discography is missing the session released on the CD reissue of Pony Poindexter's "Gumbo" (same title for the CD, but Ervin is listed as co-leader and his photo is on the cover, too). That *was* Booker's session, no?

Sonny Rollins let his conga player solo on almost every tune when i saw him in (a mediocre) concert, last year or the year before... not my cup of tea, to say the least, even more so since that conga player had nothing much to say at all... totally pointless.

Well, not us, alas, even though we're perfectly royal

Here's the previous thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...23&hl=basie Sorry to hear you've fallen for the marketing crap, and all the more good you were able to bring it back!

Were you the one who included this on a BFT, king ubu? Man, I love that version! Wasn't me, but I did recognize that one, I hope! Oh yes! Chet did a good take on it, too, early on (I think it's on the best of Chet sings CD). Tony Lakatos did a whole CD in tribute to Hoagy - some may think he overdoes it now and then, but I like the disc. Jimmy Scott sings on a few tracks, too, including "Skylark", which is one of my favourite ballads.

Belated best wishes, Rod! And keep the good vibes up - sorely needed here, of late!

Mike, I can certainly keep my eyes open, but as I said, I paid 40 CHF for the Cora 01. And the first Cora 02 I'd see I'd buy for my own pleasure... I can't do any good vinyl dubs, but I can do some kind of lossy vinyl dubs, if you're interested... I should buy a good external soundcard for my laptop some day so I could hook it up with a good hifi-set and do proper vinyl dubs, but I'm not that far yet.

Chances are small I'll run into the other Cora, but I'll keep my eyes open then, thanks Chuck! I paid slightly over 25$ for the cora (and half of that for the Pausa), both seem in ok or good condition (I have no clue about the vinyl lingo and abbreviations, so good does not mean beat-up, which is what it seems to mean on ebay...). Anyway, I won't regret it, as I'm a big fan of Weston!

I see Cora 02 was another Weston LP. Anyone has that one?

Hm, I think we watched the beginning of this on TV, but I didn't stay long enough to see Lucky

I see in Weston's discography that the CTI has been on CD in Japan, at least... also the pictures (from the website) won't show, sorry for that, but all the info is posted, too.

Found these two on Saturday, both solo piano LPs: RHYTHMS-SOUNDS PIANO recorded 1978 ? Vercelli Italy LP 1978 Cora 01 1 Niger Mambo (Bobby Benson) 2 Portrait of Vivian (Weston) 3 Willie's Tune (Weston) 4 Hi-Fly (Weston) 5 The Man I Love (G.Gershwin) RANDY WESTON MEETS HIMSELF recorded 28 January 1976 Milan Italy LP 1976 PAUSA 7017 LP Production Associati 70 1 Portrait of Tuntemeke (Weston) 2 Buena Cosecha (Good Harvest) 3 Out of the Past (Benny Goldson) 4 Monk Steps (Weston) 5 Ode to Om-Kel-Thoumt (Weston) 6 The Three Pyramids and the Sphinx (Weston) 7 Sister Gladys (Weston) Anyone knows these? Haven't had a chance to play them yet, but I paid quite a lot for the Cora 01, twice as much as for the Pausa, roughly. Also found his CTI at the same store two or three years ago, and it's a pity that one's not on CD - it's easily as good as the best CTIs I've heard (never been a big fan of the label).

I don't know about pick ups or cars, but to me it rather seems to go like this, nowadays: provide the best marketing (and have good lawyers) and people will buy (regardless if it's old or new or good or the crappiest sh*t you ever saw).

Reviving the Cold War?

#1 Another Monk tune... apeing Monks or monking apes? Some french deconstructivists taking apar... plenty of fun, for sure! #2 Huh? Corny synth? That's a contemporary take on the corny sax w/singers or strings track we had on the last BFT, I assume... sax is alright, but this is definitely not my cup of tea, sorry. Not that there's anything totally wrong with it, but it's just that I don't like the sound of it. Is that Toots? Hm, as it continues, it grows to me... some radio big band project? Vince Mendonza? The tune is very familiar, but I can't pin it down... #3 Hm, I guess after the last one I'm sort of prepared for more moody stuf... but I like this one a lot better. Trumpet is nice, and so is what follows! Gil Evans Orchestra in the 80s? Just a very rough guess... guitar sounds a bit like Sco... #4 Nice! I like the fact that there's so much space between what the pianist is playing. #5 Delilah! Love that tune! Favourite versions include the Roach/Brown and Lateef's (with the great Richard Williams) from "Live at Pep's Vol. 2". Very nice how organ and flute fit together. Great one! #6 Old-fashioned ballad playing... but not that old a recording, I think. Nice tenor sound, but probably not one of my favourite players... out of the Hawk tradition, most obviously... the band is alright, giving good support, but noch much more... could this be Houston Person or a similar player? #7 Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way" - very nice tune! Hm, could this be the Kirk Lightsey/Ricky Ford band? Nice one, very warm music - don't know how to put it better, but this really let's me in... pity it just cuts off! #8 What's this one again? I'll let Mike pin the tune down. A nice change of pace after the wacky tenor of the preceding track, this is soothing. Very laidback phrasing from the tenor, and then that swaggery vibrato just before the quote of another tune I can't pin (a short moment that reminds me of Dexter, but it's much too mellow for him, soundwise). Nice how the bassist takes up the same quote again. #9 Lovely closer, but I'm clueless once more...

Tom, here are my guesses - first spin at work, away from my CD collection, as I did it with the last few discs, too... I enjoyed your two CDs a lot, thank you! #1 A fun opener! Lovely sound on them doorbells, dry, no reverb and vibrato. Bass and drums do a good job, retro stuff? Sure sounds like a fairly recent recording. #2 March drumming, similar to what Blakey did on his "Blues March" (Golson's, actually...) Horns sound like from some film soundtrack, with much brass (french horn, too). Alto is nice, pretty heavy meaty sound. Bass-sound gives it away as a 70s recording... not my favourite way of catching a double bass, in fact it doesn't sound like a double bass at all... Anyway, alto is nice! The recording all together sounds pretty nice to me, pretty moody. Tenor sax now... Trane-ish in conception, pretty nice! Good one, will have to play this again, would like to have more of this, too! Probably a live recording or a vinyl dub? #3 Uh-huh! Sounds quite like Dollar Brand... lovely! He was great... still is, but he mellowed somewhat and I find lots of his more recent recordings less interesting than what he did in the 70s and 80s... my guess for this would be late 70s or 80s. I wouldn't be surprised to find out I have this one... Oh, on his later albums, "Yarona", a trio live recording from Sweet Basil is a total stunner, a fascinating and deeply involving disc! Hm, that transition after five minutes goes into territory that I wouldn't necessarily associate with Ibrahim, but the piano is still there, of course... lovely lovely cut! Is the tenor player one of the ZA cohorts? Basil Coetzee? Or rather a US guy? I'd opt for the later... #4 Nice one! Floating tenor... Clifford Jordan in the late 60s? Guitar sounds a bit like Grant Green... nice sound, but not a very coherent solo. Tenor is very nice here, rest I don't like that much... #5 Yuck, flute and corny conga? Nice, sounds familiar, but I'm not sure I know who this is. Swallow on electric bass. Nice one, maybe Puschnig on flute? These finishing cadenzas sound purty european... #6 One of those Monk tunes I can never pin down... tenor has a nice gruffy sound, piano is - as always with monkish stuff not done by Monk himself - a bit too easy and tickling... he was just so totally unique in any way! So there's the tenor solo... Could this be Joe Henderson? There are a few spots where it sounds like him quite some, but all together the sound's a bit too rough and loud for him, methinks (but what do I know...). #7 Great! Sax sounds familiar but I can't place it. Accordion, hmm... Stian Carstensen? He did duos with a sax/clarinet chap, but I can't remember right now who that was... ah, Iain Ballamy... could be them. Great one! And a hearty recommendation for anyone enjoying some accordion to watch the film "Accordion Tribe" (Carstensen is not in it, but Guy Klucevsek, Otto Lechner and three others)! #8 First association of course CT! Maybe with Oxley & William Parker? No... would Oxley go into these rockish beats? And would they do such a short tune... #9 Lovely soprano! Fullbodied tone, nice hints of vibrato here and there, someone pretty much in command of the bitchy horn... beautiful! Not Barney, is it? A tiny bit too much bite in the sound, I think... #10 Oh, more soprano, and more beautiful soprano, too! "Yesterdays". I like this out of or very slow tempo. Very, very nice one! Older recording, from the sound and style. I won't drop any names, not eager to embarass myself...
