well, a hutcherson/land set would still include: now head on cirrus inner glow from my list, that would be alright, but i would still prefer all of the unissued titles.

i was thinking about sending mosaic an e-mail about a late 60's/ 70's hutcherson mosaic/mosaic select box. now i will definitely send one. the list could include: now head on cirrus knucklebean inner glow the view from the inside waiting correct me if i am wrong, but none of these have ever been released on cd. that alone would make this a great addition to anyone's blue note collection imo.

the artists collective has 2 upcoming shows at it's hartford,ct. location: sept 13th- james williams intensive care unit- free concert oct 18th-dizzy gillespie alumni band- tribute to james moody- band includes, james moody, jackie mclean,slide hampton,jon faddis,john lee,billy childs,cecil brooks III. website- artistscollective.org also for hartford,ct. area/northampton-amherst,mass. shows try the hartford jazz society's jazz calander- hartfordjazzsociety.com/calander.html at the bottom of the page are links to jazz calanders for boston,new york,new haven,ct. etc.

just received a reply from water, that there was a delay, but the eddie gale cd's should be out in a month.

thanks for the website, i sent out an e-mail this morning, hopefully they will respond shortly.

thanks again. we will just have wait and see if they are finally released in sept.

thanks for the info. is there a website / e-mail address on the byard lancaster disc?

no need for anyone to feel embarrassed, there are great performers on everyone's list posted here. for myself, some that i can remember: benny carter ella billy eckstine illinois jacquet oscar peterson the heath brothers tommy flanagan freddie hubbard jackie mclean dewey redman johnny griffin mccoy tyner bobby hutcherson andrew hill lou donaldson j.j. johnson horace silver marion brown & mal waldron thomas chapin anthony braxton dave douglas ed blackwell scott hamilton jimmy mcgriff & hank crawford jimmy smith joe lovano renee rosnes frank morgan & george cables sonny fortune eric alexander hamiet bluiett's baritone saxophone group- four baritone's and one drummer- my favorite jazz instrument- the baritone sax- wow!what a show!

well i wanted to go this year, i've been to the last two litchfield jazz fests. i had purchased advance tickets and the weather was horrible, hot and humid.ugh! so this year i waited for the last day to get the forcast before i ordered. in caps on the weather forcast- HUMID, so i stayed home. YES,i am a damn wimpus bastard! i really did want to see jane bunnett, the heath brothers, and wayne shorter. how was it under that tent? i know we all have a different level of tolerance to the heat and humidity, i would be at the extreme low end!

i'm fine, hope you are doing well also. i have the french release. i sent an e-mail to the eddie gale website in april. i received a reply from georgette gale( eddie was in new york at the time), saying that the recordings would be released, and that they did not know at that point if they would be available from the website. i'm just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this label ? is it foreign or domestic?

does anyone know anything about the, water(city hall) label, that will supposedly reissue eddie gale's, ghetto music & black rhythm happening? i pre-ordered these in may for a june release, then the release was pushed back to august, then to september? now i'm wondering if they will be released at all.

For what it's worth, the local paper had some reviews in today's edition, including, terence blanchard-bounce. It was written by the ap's Charles J. Gans. Terence Blanchard,who has sucessfully bounced between his careers as a jazz trumpeter-band leader and film music composer,has found a comfortable new home at the Blue Note label. "Bounce",which mostly features original compositions by Blanchard and his bandmates,reflects his penchant for complex but accessible,hard driving, modern post-bop jazz.Blanchard's trumpet solos are richly expressive, whether he's breathing fire on the more freeform "Fred Brown" or lovingly caressing the notes on the ballad "Nocturna" by Brazilian composer Ivan Lins. Blanchard shows on "Bounce" how he has evolved to meld jazz with other styles--for example,African rhythms on his own ebullient "Azania" or funk beats on his arrangement of Wayne Shorter's classic "Footprints".But the closing "Bounce-Let's Go Off",with it's shuffling New Orleans-style beat, finds Blanchard paying homage to his Big Easy roots. He also deserves kudos for mentoring some talented young players in his own quintet,most notably saxophonist Brice Winston and pianist Aaron Parks, giving them a chance to share the spotlight as both soloists and composers.

this is why i never post a negative review of a recording. if you like a recording,and someone post's that it's a piece of trash, well, that should make them feel great. as for candido-beautiful, i like that one myself. when the blue note board reappears, i believe that i will post what really should be the next "rare groove" release,(imo): lou donaldson- say it loud jimmy mcgriff-black pearl blue mitchell-bantu village blue mitchell-collision in black the three sounds-soul symphony reuben wilson-on broadway

i'm doin' fine. just out of a long hibernation. it's been colder than normal in these parts since last october. now i've got to make up for lost time and hit some jazz concerts.

mike, yes i'm a member of the hjs. though this was not an ad for them, just a thumbs up for their jazz calendar! one of their upcoming shows, the eric alexander quartet,(w/harold mabern?) in may. mike.
