yes, do! this is a wonderful session, and the fresh sounds reissue is by far the best way to hear this music on cd.

I've been pretty busy the past few days, so I haven't had a chance to try out the different demos I downloaded. I've narrowed my search to five programs. Here they are, with the appropriate links in case anyone else is interested: Cattrax Cd Trustee Music Collector Music Label Music Library My plan is to scan the same 10-15 titles into each one, play around with them, and then decide which one is right for me. That might seem like a lot of work to some folks, but I want to do this only once. And with 2,000 or so titles...well, you know. I appreciate everyone who's shared their opinions so far, and I look forward to hearing from more of you. Feel free to email me if you like.

and so the short answer to your question is "no." standards is the only reissue of this material in the states. btw, rudy did an excellent job on the japanese 2cd set the sonny clark trio (TOCJ-66125-26) which also features this material.

don't be so sure, i hear Mark Geragos has been hired to defend him, the same guy who represented winona ryder, who was found guilty. not unless he's found criminally insane. wacko jacko he is, but insane?

One feature I'm looking for is the ability to pop a cd in my computer and have its data automatically downloaded from the internet via an existing database like CDDB. With approximately 2,000 cds in my collection, the idea of entering each title by hand is inconceivable to me. If I understand the Music Collector webpage correctly, you can download data from three databases (CDDB, Amazon and AMG) by either scanning the cd in your computer or entering the barcode number. That sounds mighty convenient to me. Anyone else use Music Collector?

Hey folks. I'm ready to catalog my cd collection, and I'm wondering what software program you prefer. I've read good reviews about Catraxx, but I'd like to hear from someone like me: a jazz fan that owns quite a few rare and out of print titles. Thanks in advance.

One of my favorite holiday recordings that you might not be familiar with is An Uptown Christmas. Recorded between 1984 and 1988 for the Uptown label, it features the likes of Frank Wess, Charlie Rouse, Johnny Coles, Claudio Roditi, Tommy Flanagan, Kenny Barron, Jack Sheldon, Sahib Shahib, Carl Fontana, Al Cohn, Richard Wyands, Walter Davis Jr., Barry Harris, Don Sickler, and Maria Muldaur. 'Tis the season to swing!

I recently picked up a copy of Parlan's cd Little Esther, a quartet date on Soul Note featuring baritonist Per Goldschmidt. I wasn't particuarly impressed at first, but this recording has definately grown on me.

sorry about that. sent you an email to confirm.

I'm sorry. I meant for you to reveal your source after the quiz was over. Now anyone can google the interview for the answer (I just did). P.S. After learning who was "second choice," I'm very glad the "original" couldn't make it (I'm not a big fan).

I'd be interested in learning the source of this trivia "fact." I say this because in the liner notes to POD, Nat Hentoff quotes Hill as saying "I selected the men because of the particular strengths each has. I also selected them because..." Hill goes on to describe the qualities of each musician appearing on this date in terms of the music that was played. These remarks, if true, would seem to suggest that no last-minute substitution occurred. But in the spirit of being a "team player," I'll guess that Kenny Dorham is the odd man out. Perhaps Freddie Hubbard was the supposed "first choice?"

FYI, the second session was released in 1998 as Standards. I think the remastering job Rudy did for this Japanese reissue is an improvement over the 2002 domestic RVG reissue of Sonny Clark Trio.

I own Gone With The Wind, which features the 16 tracks recorded at the following sessions: Lady Be Good c/w Easy Living / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 11453) Buddy DeFranco (cl) Kenny Drew (p) Jimmy Raney (g) Teddy Kotick (B) Arthur Taylor (d) NYC, February 27, 1952 52-S-103 Lady Be Good Buddy DeFranco (cl) Kenny Drew (p) Curly Russell (B) Art Blakey (d) Hollywood, CA, June 30, 1952 52-S-3110 Easy Living Buddy's Blues c/w Pennywhistle Blues / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 11206) Buddy DeFranco (cl) Kenny Drew (p) Jimmy Raney (g) Teddy Kotick (B) Arthur Taylor (d) NYC, February 27, 1952 52-S-104 Buddy's Blues same personnel NYC, March 3, 1952 52-S-114 Pennywhistle Blues Gone with the Wind c/w Lover Come Back to Me / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 30679) same personnel NYC, February 27, 1952 52-S-105 Gone with the Wind Buddy DeFranco (cl) Kenny Drew (p) Curly Russell (B) Art Blakey (d) Hollywood, CA, July 23, 1952 52-S-3125 Lover Come Back to Me Sweet Georgia Brown c/w Cairo / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 30678) Buddy DeFranco (cl) Kenny Drew (p) Jimmy Raney (g) Teddy Kotick (B) Arthur Taylor (d) NYC, February 27, 1952 52-S-106 Sweet Georgia Brown same personnel NYC, March 3, 1952 52-S-113 Cairo Get Happy c/w Samia Shuffle / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 11250) same session 52-S-112 Get Happy 52-S-115 Samia Shuffle Just One of Those Things c/w Carioca / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 11303) Buddy DeFranco (cl) Kenny Drew (p) Curly Russell (B) Art Blakey (d) Hollywood, CA, June 30, 1952 52-S-3107 Just One of Those Things 52-S-3109 Carioca Street of Dreams c/w The Way You Look Tonight / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 30681) same session 52-S-3108 Street of Dreams same personnel Hollywood, CA, July 23, 1952 52-S-3123 The Way You Look Tonight Sophisticated Lady c/w I Got It Bad / Buddy DeFranco (MGM 30680) same session 52-S-3124 Sophisticated Lady 52-S-3126 I Got It Bad

you're right, it hasn't. however, you can download the mp3 files (made from the original vinyl) here: emusic

Yes, it was a very special evening at Carnegie Hall. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I might try to see the orchestra once more at Birdland before they really call it quits. As far as recommendations, you can get a taste of the 70's band with the Novus sampler The Toshiko Akiyoshi/Tabackin Big Band. There's a copy at Half.com for only 7.99. Here's the link: Toshiko. After that, you may choose to get some of the original recordings, which have been remastered and reissued in Japan this past year.

I'm not sure whether this is the same recording, but a cd by that name was issued in May of 2002 by the Chicago-based label Rerooted. Here's a link: African Herbs.

Although AMG does not list the Camden reissues, they do list the earlier, identical Kaz reissues. To read AMG's reviews of some of this material, just click on the following links for the original issues on the Chiaroscuro label: Soweto Capetown Fringe Black Lightning If you really want to read helpful opinions of this music, the most recent edition of the Penguin Guide reviews each of the Camden reissues, awarding them 3-4 stars. Personally, I like these discs, but not as much as the later African Marketplace, Water From An Ancient Well, and African River.

I'm very much looking forward to the 30th anniversary concert with the Akiyoshi Orchestra Friday night at Carnegie Hall. They're featuring the U.S. debut of her latest large-scale composition: Hiroshima Rising from the Abyss. I'm a big fan of Akiyoshi, and the chance to hear jazz at Carnegie is an exciting prospect. Best seats in the house are only $40, which seems very reasonable to me. Chris, are you planning to attend? How about anyone else?

i spotted a used copy of the u.s. reissue at a local store for $7.99. they do mail order. here's the link if anyone's interested: stereo jack's.

I "discovered" some of Tolliver's Strata East recordings through the Charley reissues last year. IMHO, they are well worth checking out. They aren't easily categorized - that's one of the reasons I still listen to them. Here's a link to Tolliver's page on the Strata East website, including some sound clips: Tolliver. As far as obtaining the Charley reissues, Dusty Groove is my first choice.

That was a Candid album too. Colours, I believe.
