The Cat Who Thought He Was A Tiger by Polly Cameron (1956)

Yes, some of it is on TOMMY POTTER'S HARD FUNK on Lonehill A few tracks are also on the box set called JAZZ IN SWEDEN : THE LEGENDARY YEARS ON WEA / METRONONE. I have that disc (Tommy Potter's Hard Funk), but Bailey isn't on it, unless there's a typo. I'll have to look into The Legendary years though. I'd like to hear Bailey and Ericson together:

Have Benny Bailey's recordings for the Metronome label ever been reissued on compact disc?

All (yes, all) of the Monk K2's are significant upgrades, but, as Chuck mentions, Monk's Music is of particular importance. There's a long discussion here (somewhere) explaining why. The Bill Evans K2's are great, and Art Pepper's +11 as a K2 is also great. At $5.99, especially if you don't already have the music, they're probably all worth owning.

Brownie would politely point out that it's Peiffer and not Pfeiffer. I like Peiffer's piano playing, but I couldn't really imagine a Select of his work. But if there were one, I'd rally for a János Körössy Select — then couw would rejoin the board! I'd love to see Selects or regular Mosaics that explored non-American labels — Amiga, Supraphon, RTB, etc., but I don't see that happening. But that's OK; I'm just happy that Mosaic is still a viable company! I suggested the Fuller/Moody/Gillespie as a Connoisseur and the complete Pacific Jazz Gil Evans as a Connoisseur a few years ago, and they did come out, but I never really thought it was because of my suggestions. I also suggested the complete EMI (umbrella) recordings of Herb Pomeroy, but that's probably pushing it. I love when the Connoisseurs go off the Blue Note grid.

Yep. I don't know Chautemps that well, but he plays some weird-ass solos on Vol. 3 of Chet Baker's "In Paris" Barclay recordings.

I dig this album, even if it underachieves at times. Cameron's on the far right. He's also on Bill Barron's Modern Windows.

Good prices.

No one ever responded to this question so I thought I'd bring it up again. I'm in a similar situation to the original poster. I'm trying to find computer speakers that won't be too big, but will provide relatively good sound. I'd also like to avoid a sub because I don't really have the space on my desk. Popkin — (Lenny Popkin?), I ended up buying those Klipsch speakers. For a sub-less system, I like them a lot. Nice dynamic range, and to my ears very little distortion (even when turned up fairly high). When putting them right on your desk, slightly angled, you get a rich sound.

That's good to know; thanks, Hans. That'd be my preference. Of course I really just want to hear the music.

Thanks, Ted.

Thanks for that, Allen. I'm going to have to read up on how a condenser microphone actually works. I know virtually nothing when it comes to this stuff, but I'm interested in learning.

Thanks, Steve. It didn't even dawn on me to go to the source. Anyone here (in the U.S.) have any experience purchasing directly from that site?

Hi All, I'm looking for Mike Cuozzo with the Costa-Burke Trio (on Jubilee), and Mighty Mike (on Savoy). Amazon's marketplace prices are kinda out of control. Any leads appreciated — please PM! Thanks, L

As the preceding and subsequent titles are all albums originally released on Time Records, I strongly suspect this is Bennie Green's only Time LP, on which there was a Sonny named Clark. I don't know of any Bennie Green session with Sonny Rollins. I think you're right.

Oops — I did mean John Barry.

That "We Have All the Time In the World" thing for On Her Majesty's Secret Service? God, I HOPE that wasn't his last studio recording. That would be sad. The liner notes to the original soundtrack (reissued on disc) claim that this was indeed Pops' last recording in the studio. I listened to that track last night. It is kind of sad, but there's also something eerily attractive about it. Oh that Robert Barry!

I don't know if this is an easy question or not (and I'm not 100% sure that I know the answer), but — Without checking, what was Louis Armstrong's last studio recording? :rsmile: :rsmile: :bwallace2:

I just realized ... maybe these guys weren't recorded using microphones at all. I told you I was a novice!

When Charley Patton or Blind Lemon Jefferson or (fill in name of favorite early blues artist) first recorded, what kind of microphone(s) were used at the time? And were these artists simply recorded in offices? If anyone here could talk about this to a novice (myself), or point to a book that provides information along these lines, I'd be much appreciative. Thanks!

The actual price is 3990¥, which is approximately $40.89 (U.S.) — plus whatever shipping charges come with it. It'll be interesting to see what Dusty Groove charges for it (if they stock it). I'm guessing something like $45.99. I've had the music for a long time now. Must resist Japanese packaging fetishism! (At that price, it's actually not too hard to resist.) I know the conversion rates. $45 is more than I've spent in the last 3 months on CDs. I'll probably stick with my OJC copy. Right — wasn't meaning to instruct. Just talkin' to the board. I'm in the same boat.

Those of you who receive Hiroshi Tanno's e-mails on Japanese reissues and releases already know this, but Flanagan's Overseas sessions are being reissued once again — this time with the most deluxe treatment I've ever seen from the Japanese market: not one, but three mini-LP covers to accompany the CD. The reason for three? To be faithful to the original release of these recordings as EPs on the Swedish Metronome label, DIW is manufacturing three separate jackets. Now, if they really wanted to be faithful, they could have reissued the music on three 3" CDs! The original covers are indeed classy: The price tag is hefty — over 3900¥. If someone here decides to splurge, please tells us how all of this packaged! (Um, and you can tell us about the music too. It's one of my favorite Flanagan dates.)

Instead of starting a new thread, any suggestions for a television to go with a new DVD player? Any suggestions are welcome, but my actual budget is limited. I can probably afford a DVD player now, and will have to save for a new television. I've had a 13" RCA for over fifteen years now.
