cousins, he he he! when we interview Werner X. Uehlinger from Hat Hut Records, he confirmed that Lonehill was just yet another Pujol outfit... I guess he having an inside view at things should know... (and he then continued to confess having bought a Giuffre release on one of those labels, stating it was one that was no out on any other outfit...)

So David seems to be the one person on the whole board who made the single one post including Guerino Mazzola's name... anybody has any impressions, any recommendations? I have recently bought "In Orbit" (Music&Arts), by Mazzola/Heinz Geisser/Rob Brown (mostly on flute, not alto). There are plans for a radio show (interview) on Mazzola, which is the main reason I picked up the disc. Gave it one listen so far and found it rather conventional and boring, I'm afraid. Sure, there's a density of some kind that is not just run-of-the-mill free jazz, but much more than that it ain't, I think. I assume Mazzola has been majorly influenced by Cecil. To that he adds his music/mathematics stuff (which I don't know a lot about, another friend of mine would cover that if we'd do a radio show with/about him), and out comes a somewhat cool, tense free music that is probably not half as free in the end, as it sounds. Rob Brown does ok, but for me, Geisser is providing most of the highpoints of this disc. and a quote from the musicandarts page: Guerino Mazzola's homepage

I like it quite some! This was the very first time I heard Smith (on my father's original, I guess, vinyl - he wasn't a fan of it and dislikes organ till today, though...)

Allen, I guess you're absolutely right... but what I meant was he's perceived as a minor figure nowadays (if he's perceived *at all*...) Oh, same for Rehak! Great player, in my opinion! The Quinichette on Freshsound/Dawn has a different cover: And yes Mike: the 2CD set collects all the tracks that have *not* been added to other CD reissues. No duplication at all, I think.

and they could advertise them as "weakest cuts... if you like these, you'll love the other of the albums which are even better!"

Actually, why don't the release some samplers with the missing tunes? I guess they could easily fill a disc or two with tracks left off of twofers! Another one that has a cut missing is the most recent Johnny Griffin ("Bush Dance"?), and I think the Joe Henderson "At the Lighthouse" (with Woody Shaw) has something missing, too... I assume there are many more. Would also be a nice teaser for people who don't yet have the twofers!

Can I join the line on the Mobley?

As for "music/style": generally hardbop, but not of the blazing Blue Note or blowing Prestige kind, rather closer to some of what Savoy did on the mid fifties. Maybe some of it is "swing-to-bop" rather than actual bop, maybe most is "bop" rather than "hardbop"... hard to put words on music...

Some of it is pretty nice!

Disc one has Gene Quill and other minor figures, very nice music, disc two is rather obscure, at least in parts (and those parts are maybe the lesser). You have to be aware that not all four albums are included. Rather, some cuts were added to other releases. I am not sure how much is missing, but I think at least one LP side is on the Paul Quinichette disc on Dawn (which comes highly recommended! It's called "The Kid from Denver - Complete Dawn Recordings").

Hallo Mike! Alles gute zum Geburtstag! hope all's well!

I caught it on Saturday, and on Sunday it closed... I might have gone another time, if not... There were a series of great photos of events where Salomon, in fact, was not allowed entrance. Yet his photos, shot from outside of the rooms or buildings, are just as telling! The only one I can find on the www: Hats of the German Reichskanzler, his foreign minister, and hats of the french delegation, Lausanne, 1932. self-portrait, taken during a 5 minute interview done at NBC's, NYC, 1930 NSDAP politicians waiting to enter the Reichstag (no date) View from ferry at Ellis Island, NY, ca. 1932

Yes David, please tell us about those good sources!

I think one is "Smokehouse", the other I'm not sure about.

Wow, most impressive! Just had a look at the whole series of photographs. Thanks for having posted that link! ***** What made me look up this thread again, in the first place, is a great exhibition of Erich Salomon's work that I saw on Saturday. Here are a couple I found with google: "Ah, le voilà" (Paris, August 1931): Aristide Briand becomes aware of Salomon being present and shouts: "Ah, le voilà! Le roi des indiscrets!" Mussolini at the Hotel Excelsior, Rome, August 1931. The exhibition grouped photographs thematically and was in fact rather astonishing. Pretty sad that he was to be gassed in Auschwitz... after having been one of the most outstanding documentarists of Germany between the two world wars, and having been on good terms with nice fellas such as Furtwängler and a bunch of politicians... but by then, I guess he was to them nothing but another dirty jew...

Belated best wishes!

Not half as good as it looks on paper, sorry to say. I'd rather like to see Stanley's first one, "Look Out!", which I've never heard. Also the Minton's dates are great, but I guess I won't downgrade from regular CD to cactus... ZT is good but not as good as one would expect, you're right. Still, it shouldn't be out of print. But Look Out is absolutely swell indeed. Good call! And while I'm here: The Rajah and Far Away Lands need to be back on the racks... Funny you should mention "The Rajah"! That's another one that gets a bad rep usually, but that one I like quite some! True about the Mobley, too... some of those old BN CDs have such an unfriendly sound that I hardly ever get them out of the shelf...

A partial concert recording of Fian's quintet with Clemens Salesny (as,bcl) from last night can be heard here for the coming week: http://www.radiofrance.fr/listen.php?pr=rt...probablement.rm France Musiques: Le jazz, probablement (Dimanche 19 février, minuit) Le quintette du trompettiste Bumi Fian, avec Clemens Salesny (saxophone alto, clarinette basse), Clemens Wenger (piano), Bernhard Osanna (contrebasse) & Thomas Froschauer (batterie), enregistré le 14 mai 2005 au festival Intönne à Diersbach (Autriche). Pretty nice band, I must add! What a pity about Fian

Happy Birthday, Hans! Here's to one of the most considerate and friendliest persons I met in cyberworld (or is that wourld, Tony? ) cheers! f PS: Groningen looks about as friendly as Zurich, right now...

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday, John! Hope all's well! Here's many best wishes, and hope you'll stick around more often, too!

Played the Gahnold and liked it a lot! Nothing too deep, just some good blowing, and Dyani... Gilbert Mathews I only heard with Ibrahim so far - quite nice to hear him in this setting, where he's got much more space to stretch and really play! Then I also played the freebie, Bayashi: old-fashioned free jazz, but quite ok. The drummer is pretty good, I think. Will have to play it again to be able to say more about it, though.

To investigate the power of the people (I think that's what you meant) I suggest you check the recent elections in Palestine, Iran, Iraq and the US. I'm totally with Weizen (!) and you on this, Chuck!

I got my Ayler order in the meantime: - Wallin: The Stockholm Tapes - Brötz: Nefertiti - Gahnold: Flowers for Johnny - Feza: Free Jam and as a freebie I got - Bayashi (Vidar Johansen, Bjornar Andresen, Thomas Stronen): Help is on its Way Anyone knows the last one? Never heard of either of the three guys!

Not half as good as it looks on paper, sorry to say. I'd rather like to see Stanley's first one, "Look Out!", which I've never heard. Also the Minton's dates are great, but I guess I won't downgrade from regular CD to cactus...

And Tony Oxley!!!
