That is indeed a good one (as is he), but you'll perhaps be interested to know that he's just come out with a new one on Delmark (w/John Young aboard, no less): ← eddie johnson appeared on quite a few recordings from the mid-forties to the early sixties, playing in bands led by louis jordan, cootie williams, james moody, leo parker, and duke ellington. he recorded as a leader a few times for the chess label from 1951-52. check out this billboard ad for his first single in 1951:

i don't see a charles fambrough title in the list.

jazz cat, fred jackson has been discussed in numerous threads over the past couple of years. why not do a search, read what's been written, then post some new questions if you have any.

ah, the purrfect solution!

i don't think so either, although trombone for two is included on this collectibles reissue. it was released by columbia in 1956 and features Dick Katz, Paul Chambers and Osie Johnson.

well, it's not like you don't have any sense of humor.

this one's 420 pages and costs $40.

i believe this reissue on gambit has the material that daniel cited.

imo, this is a fine disc from 1987:

People who respond to stressful situations with short-term anger or indignation have a sense of control and optimism that lacks in those who respond with fear. "These are the most exciting data I've ever collected," Carnegie Mellon psychologist Jennifer Lerner told a gathering of science writers here last month. i'm glad jennifer is excited, but really, we've known this fact for some time now. in fact, it was a question on my psychologist licensing exam over ten years ago. truthfully, i probably incorporate assertiveness training in treating over half to two-thirds of my clients. people who adopt a predominantly passive style to coping with life's difficulties are less likely to get their needs met, and they are more prone to experience a range of stress-related emotional and physical problems. what's more, sooner or later these people are apt to get angry or aggressive when they "reach the boiling point." on the other hand, individuals who rely on aggressivess to deal with life are typically alone, in jail, or unhappy as they repeatedly abuse other people. i really believe the healthiest alternative in a great many modern day situations is to be assertive: communicating what you think and how you feel in a clear, direct, and non-threatening manner. HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR?!?!

emailed you about the raney cd.

have you ever heard sahib shihab's souful version of silent night on the an uptown christmas compilation? i think this kind of arrangement might be a good one for the band. and of course, there's always the sultry santa baby.

a heads up to our friends in and around beantown. my brother tom (the one who earned a special place in heaven for introducing me to jazz 30 years ago) just told me about this upcoming concert at wellesley college in wellesley, ma this saturday night: Saturday, November 5, 8pm Jimmy Heath Jazz Quartet Jimmy Heath, saxophone Jeb Patton, piano Paul West, bass Albert “Tootie” Heath, drums it's being held at Jewett Auditorium (also referred to as the Jewett Arts Center). and guess what: it's free! here's a link to the college's music dept.: wellesley college concert series

a sad state of affairs, especially considering where you live.

that's how much you get for store credit, not cash? ouch! are you sure that's not because the cd features al diarrhea, i mean dimeola?

i'm not sure why you decided to begin your ebay selling experience with this particular disc. i'm not commenting on the quality of the music. it's just that it's readily available and not a valuable title. you probably could have gotten $4 in trade at your local used cd store. then you'd save yourself the trouble of shipping it, paying ebay their fees, paying the paypal transaction fee, etc.

one for all is performing that weekend at smoke. definately worth the visit in my book.

here's a previous thread on the subject: christmas jazz

not as good a deal as i reported 2 years ago, but this site has a year's subscription to downbeat for $17.97: magazinevalues.com

maybe you can get them directly from the artist: daniele@dagaro.it.

uzed, it's not so much a matter of right or wrong. if you're really looking for opinions on these titles, as you stated in your initial post, then i think the recommendations forum might be a good place to get you're looking for. then again, technically one could say you could go to the "looking for" forum. aaahhh!

why is that? the title of this forum is artists, not jazz artists. what's more, the forum is under the heading of general music in the place to discuss the band, jazz, and more! i say, let her stay!

one of my all-time favorites for relaxing: rich, beautiful, contemplative. absolutely essential for all coleman fans.
