Sad news.

Nope--still alive at 73. Barbara Feldon "Dead or Alive Info" Page ←

Sorry to see him go. I can't believe he was 82 ! Then I just heard on the Radio that Agent 99 died years ago. I totally missed that !

With I.E. I have a similar Jim describes not on Organissimo but at Jazz Corner. Organissimo is cool. On Mozilla Organissimo never fully loads.

The Cliff Jackson date is excellent. CD Univese has STRIDEMONSTER on sale. I forget the exact price, but I ordered it a couple of days ago.

Welcome Billie. I'm looking forward to your input.

I second Jim on this. It's a really nice record.

Dave - are the recordings originally released in Mono still in mono on this set? On the old 3 cd set there were quite a few tracks where I really didn't dig the stereo. I was totally used to to the mono on the old early Atlantic lps - which (if I remember correctly) weren't available in stereo

I still can't use Mozilla at this site. Can't access the Reply button - it doesn't exist on that browser. It's the only site I have a problem with, so I keep a window open on I.E, just for the BIG O.

Wow, so that is JG at the piano! Loved his work with Shaw and Pres but never heard him play with that kind of facility. Gotta get those sides with Slam. ← I hae an old 45 E.P. on the Royale label that has 4 of the tracks (not this one-however) on the cd Brownie linked too. I've been meaning to order it for some time. Guarnieri sounds wonderful on these 4 tracks, I finally did order the other night at CD universe. The were backordered, but I hope that come in soon.

The original 12" Commodore lp was my intoduction to Jelly. GREAT GREAT recording, from the opening of "Mamie's Blues" forward.

What Lon said. I also have much of Jelly's other recordings, and imho Jelly is one of the great figures of early jazz. As Lon said, these recordings are piano only and almost everything else is band stuff. BTW, Jelly is one of the first great arrangers in Jazz, alternating written ensemble parts with the free blowing that was so typical of New Orleans ensembles. If you're interested in that check out something by his "Red Hot Peppers". My reccomendation is the JSP set or for a single disc the newest RCA disc. Good sound on both of those. Jelly's 20s recordings are unusually well recorded for 20s stuff. RCA was on the ball.

Scrolling sown on Weizen's link is: CD Gatefold Sleeve 4.0mil Polyethylene 500 for $43.50. I wonder if thats the same sleeve?

Thanks, Lon.

I'm pre-ordering also. Rest assured, tranemonk. This is essential material. Quite a few of us on this board (Chris A., Lon, Brownie, and others) are somewhat familiar with this material from previous issues, but there is material here that has NEVER been released before. It's just Jelly sitting at a piano and talking and singing (and embroidering - somewhat) his memoirs and accompanying himself on piano the whole time. What I've heard previously (most of the actual tunes (from a previous Rounder issue) and some of the talking (from the times I've heard portions of the original lp release played on FM) is totally fascinating. His complete rap and demo on the development of Tiger Rag from a French Quadrille into a Jazz standard is not to be missed. Plus - you get a lot for your do-re-mi. Good notes and a copy of "Mr. Jelly Lord" which is the book Alan Lomax put out. It's essentially a transcript of Jelly's rap. There's another thread on this but I still don't know how to use the search enginge. edit to add: and I don't know how to spell search engine either !

OK. I'm in.

Martyjazz - What video is this ? Is it readily available. Where can I get it ? I'm salivating.

I was listening early on in my car on the way to a gig. Anybody dig Herlin Riley ? This cat is one hell of a good drummer. This guy plays !

Just start getting them. Any of them. They're all good.

I didn't know Bessie Smith was Muggsy Spanier !

Good idea. I was just sticking them in the box, on top of the cds. They were always in the way. Under the tray is the answer. ← My receipts are all under the tray. Both, the old style and the new style. ← Now I actually intend to go to all (old and new) my mosaic boxes and put the receipts under the plastic tray. It's the way to go. Thanks Brad and Wesbed.

I found the Aim issue online last night and ordered it. Dusty G. is temporarily out of the P-Vine. Apparently there are 3 or 4 different recordings with the name "Wild Man From Texas" (was this a billing that Arnett used ?) so anyone interested should check the tune list or recording date.

Happy Birthday, Dan. And many more healthy and happy ones.

I have an Arnett lp called "The Wild Man From Texas" on Classic Jazz (CJ-102). It was recorded 5/12/76 and 5/30/76. When I first saw this thread I thought that was the record until I checked the tune list. In any event the Classic Jazz record is great also. Arnett is terrific - I'll have to seek this Prestige one out.
