On the: The Thousand Threads, a Neneh Cherry's Book, there is this information: ... By 1954, and still in high school, Don had earned a union card and was playing professionally. Often, he would compete in talent shows around the neighbourhood with people like Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson. Don said that Johnny, slicker than the rest, always won. With Billy, George Newman and Pee Wee Williams, they formed a group called the Jazz Messiahs, playing bebop and jazz in clubs around town. Together they played R&B clubs, going as far north as Vancouver. .. My question is: Is Pee Wee Williams a bass player? Does anyone know him?

Ciao, I would like some information about an alleged record (or CD): Sonny Rollins 'Live in Europe' (w/ Cherry, Grimes and Higgins) that was just reissued by Fruit Tree? as you can see, 'posted' by Nathan in 2006. Do you know anything about it?

Finally I found my notes so: Night and Day I think is nothing more than: the Improvised Medley, an approximately 26-minute piece (often referred to as Sonny's tune & Sonny's Tune Second Version as in jzzup 313) containing quotations from The Bridge, You Don't Know what love is, Sly Moongoose Could be correct this opinion?

Dear Sir I hope you in your help. First question: what are the information to find: Sonny Rollins Live In Europe by Fruit Tree Label? Second question: d) Night and Day JazzUp JU-313, Sonny Rollins Quartet In Europe 1963, vol. I, a-d Night And Day it is not on the two JuzzUp 313/4 CDs nor on the Moon Moon MCD 053-2-Moon MCD 05a4-2 CDs unless it is Sonny's Tune or Sonny's Tune 2 version one of the two Jazzup 313 titles. And you will not find this title in any recording of the Rollins/Cherry's concerts Is it correct? Greetings Luciano

Ciao Nathan I would like to know the title and catalogue number of the Sonny Rollins Live In Europe reissue from the Fruit Tree, I can't find any trace of it

ok. thanks anyway

I Forgot to ask you the line up, if you remember. Is it possible?

Many thanks Adh1907

thanks

Thanks Mjazzg do you mean you saw the RIP at the Womad Concert in 1982, I presume!

This is the line-up I had considered for the Rip RiG + Panic I'm Cold record Don Cherry tp, mel, vcl, Gareth Sager as, bcl, Alph Wait tbn, David "Flash" Wright sax, Jez Parfitt bs, Mark Springer p, Sarah Sarahandi viola, Debbie cello, Sean Oliver b, Giles Leaman perc, Bruce Smith, Steve Noble dr, Neneh Cherry, Andrea Oliver vcl Now I am no longer sure because by checking at : https://www.discogs.com/it/release/4653342-Rip-Rig-Panic-I-Am-Cold I would also like to know whether on the disc: Live At Womad 1982 held at: Royal Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet,, July 18, 1982 in the track: You're My Kind Of Climate Don Cherry plays I have found numerous pieces of information that seem to confirm his presence but I cannot recognise him. I look forward to your help

No, side on only means: Vienna & Doug'Prelude in my previos message I considered this image as proof that Don only plays in Vienna on the other hand, looking closely (not only my ears, now even my eyes deceive me, ah to be 82 years old!!) Cherry is considered to be the trumpet player in Side One which includes, erroneously, Doug's Prelude

Ciao Niko, if in the attached discography cherry is not present in the solos and we do not hear it, it means that Cherry does not play in Doug's Prelude Many thanks

Happy New Year, JSngry, I am addressing you (I am not a good 'navigator' in this precious site.I regret this. Anyway: I think I'm more than sure that Don Cherry on Clifford Jordan's disc in The Worl only plays, and in a fantastic way, in Vienna. Yet all the discographies I have consulted and the various editions of the disc want him pue present in Doug's Prelude (even the mosac confirms his presence) I hope that you, or whoever will read this question of mine, can solve my dilemma (' since I bought it, back in 1969, that I occasionally do such research) Happy New Year also to all members Luciano

Thank you, in my folder these last two tracks (52nd street... & On green...) you indicated had disappeared. Again: listening carefully to the CD THE COMPLETE 1963 COPENHAGEN CONCERT by JAZZ LIPS JL767 I seem to have recognised, at the beginning of You Don't Know What Love Is the tune Sly Moongoose. Finally: Sly Moongoose that concluding the medley is completely unrecognisable to me (I also don't recognise You Don't Know What Love Is). I hope I have been clear and can therefore be understood, and above all still helped. I take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Luciano

Someone can judge this belief of mine concerning the sequence of tracks from the concert on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss94-PVGRIg&t=1165s does not coincide and, in my opinion, it is as follows: 1) Oleo 12:38 2) Improvised Medley (Quoting The Bridge 12:57 / You Don't Know What Love Is 5:35 / Sly Moongoose 5:23) 3) Without A Song 12:50 4) I Don't Remember The Title 19:44 5) I Don't Known The Title 15:29 I hope I am not wrong, as I often do and I also think that tracks 4 & 5 are unreleased I hope in an answer

Ciao, I didn't know that Denzil Best had "Bimshire" as a nickname (in slang it seems to mean Barbardos where his family came from) from which the title of the song "Bemsha Swing" originally came from, it seems. Can anyone verify this information?

Many Thanks

I would like to know two things: Who Can I Turn To? played by Miles Davis at Oriental Theatre Who Can I Turn To? played by Booker Little on the album of the same name are two tracks identical or different? If they are identical: who are the composers: for Davis are mentioned: Anthony Newley~Leslie Bricusse For Little: Alexander Lafayette Chew Wilder~William Engvick Uncredited

It's pretty much the same path as mine: Armstrong, the fascination with Davis, free-jazz and Don Cherry with whom I established a friendship that lasted about 20 years. I met him at Hastveda in 73, then I, together with other friends of mine, organized as part of the Jazz evenings in Pisa several concerts. he is the musician I follow most of all (along withMingus, Dolphy, Ceicl Taylor, etc.).

Well I just now finished listening to your CD, congratulations! Although it is not the genre I follow I was very pleased to breathe an air full of serenity as it shines through your music. Thank you

Nice! I saw Charles only one time in Milan he was a titan!! Are you a musicians? What do you play?

Thanks for your reflections on The great paris concert (3 Long Playings) was also a thrilling moment for me even though I had already discovered Dolphy in the volumes At The Five Spot Vol I & II
