Painting by Gunter Hampel: Inscape No. 6 (1971)

Cover painting: Nelson Stevens In 1977 there have been limited silk screen prints of this painting available. Does somebody have a print?

Yes, it has been deep in the night - 2 o'clock in the morning. Line-up - I complete: Egil "Bop" Johansen (dr) - and pieces of music here: http://programm.ard.de/TV/Programm/Sender/?sendung=284878207977268. The rehearsal was recorded in Hamburg 1967.

Well, he wasn't a bad drummer... Perhaps Andy Sheppard http://andysheppard.co.uk/;-)? If in doubt vide http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/threeforshepp.html

My friends and I have collected all 200 LPs reviewed in this booklet as a basis! Contents: Introduction Discographical Foreword 1 The Transition From Swing 2 Crystallisation: Bop 3 Further Explorations 1 4 The Cool Reaction And Beyond 5 Consolidation: Hard Bop 6 Further Explorations 2 7 The 'New Thing' 8 Thirdstream Index This booklet is still available second-hand.

http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/marionbrownquartet.html I can't believe I missed that this album had extra music. Needless to say it's now hard to find. 'Marion Brown Quartet' as an exemple of a curious publication of a recording session!

ticket signed by Dave Kikoski, Dwayne Burno and Roy Haynes

http://discog.piezoelektric.org/marionbrown/r/marionbrownquartet.html yeah, the last ESP edition included all five tracks on CD, so I had to pick it up too. *) Now: Amon Düül - Collapsing - (Metronome GER orig) *) 'only' four tracks have been recorded. The complete issue is hard to find and very expensive! http://www.amazon.de/Marion-Brown-Quartet/dp/B000A0GP4A/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1426434512&sr=8-11&keywords=Marion+Brown

The logo and typography are the same as the French Guilde du Jazz of that era. I first heard the Parker Dials on that label (dreadful sound quality, later greatly improved on the British Spotlite label.) Spotlight SPJ-CD 4-101 - P 1993 - total playing time 248:57 Never got as far as the CDs: have had 5 Spotlite Parker LPs since the 70s This Spotlite DLP is from 1981
