that Mary Lou Williams I am also hoping to find some day... My purchases of the last two weeks:
Anthony Braxton (Actuel 15) ... think quit a few people are replacing the originals with LPs right now
Cal Tjader - Last night when we were young ( a ballads album on Fantasy from the 70s with Frank Strazzeri who also arranged the strings)
The Contemporary Jazz Classics Of The Paul Moer Trio
Sonny Stitt & the Top Brass (someone put the ugly but good-sounding 1980s LP into a nice 1960s original jacket)
Albert Ayler - The Hilversum Session
Shorty Rogers – Afro-Cuban Influence
-
fwiw, here is another single on the same label by Beau which apparently features Jackie Kelso on "Straight as an arrow"...

They may be a bit short for box sets, but recently released important archives of Japanese jazz. Well worth searching for.
Great 3 Complete Sessions 1994 (4 CDs) / Masabumi Kikuchi, Gary Peacock & Masahiko Togashi
Complete Tohoku Sessions 1971 (3 CDs) / Kaoru Abe
Masayuki Takayanagi: Archive I (5 CDs)
Love Dance: Solo Live at Galerie de Café Den Tokyo 1987-1997 / Mototeru Takagi (5 CDs)
the others I don't know but I fully agree on the Great 3 set!

Thanks for sharing!

from 1973, thanks for pointing out that magazine, more issues here, that particular band went on to great things, or, at least, one of the members did (Modern Talking, 11 years later)... and if you hired them, they'd come in a VW bus with two roadies carrying a Hohner piano and other good stuff... the magazine was founded by a former roadie and focused exactly on the types of things that roadies care about, the heavy objects, the cars...
-
Thanks!! Roadies were apparently quite an issue in that world...

Heinz, Klaus, Rüdiger, Werner... That generation of German males had some quite distinctive names ... (Andreas, Oliver and Lutz still exist among people my age, so what's now below 50, even though I guess the names have by now died out as well). You don't happen to have the entire page, it looks like a fascinating piece of history overall? do you know the year? just from the names and how it reads, it feels like late 70s or even 80s to me.
those numbers indicate postcode areas btw, 1000 means Berlin, 2000 Hamburg, 3000 Hannover, 4000 Düsseldorf (even though the 0221 places Irmin in 5000 Cologne where he belongs... I would have been annoyed)

I've used AI twice, both times for work... translating code from one programming language to another worked really well, no complaints, huge efficiency gain - it's a pity I only need to do something like this every few years.... then again, maybe I should be happy.
The second was to find the most suitable experts on a given topic ("convex analysis" iirc) in a list of 50 names. That's a task AI should be good at, much more efficient than a human, but the thing we were using (ChatGPT iirc) did an incredibly poor job, confusing one person with someone with a similar last name and generally not looking further than the first handful of names... One annoying feature I noticed is that if it gets names in the form "A. Smith, B. Miller" it will just talk about "Alfred Smith" and "Ben Miller" as if those were these people's first names... but in fact the few names that I knew were all wrong, so - it does look up the correct biography of "A. Smith" but then plugs in a random but plausible first name... Of course, with further pushing the quality of all these replies could be improved and the system will apologize excessively while correcting it's errors...You have to really like working with interns to enjoy this...
I can easily how someone who doesn't actually care about the quality of the result will be quite happy with the AI system... For the majority of tasks, my feeling is that the biggest gains are for people who found google too abstract to really benefit from it... But with google, you were lead to a website and then could decide for yourself whether to trust it or not... Now many people may indeed no longer leave the AI and get all information filtered and possibly randomly altered through that system... which is pretty worrying

It probably already helps to read a translation... I heard that with Kant (who is easier to read than Hegel I guess) some educational programs in Germany give their students English translations to read because those are smoother ...

Carlos Garnett said he got the job via Woody Shaw - so it seems natural to speculate that Tyrone Washington came via Shaw as well, they'd collaborated quite a bit by that time... Why it didn't last longer is a good one... In the months afterwards, Downbeat listed quite a few leader gigs for Washington... So maybe he decided his sideman years were over ...
-
The Coda article was written after the fact, my snippet does not have the full sentence but it's mentioned that the place "played host to Art Blakey with Tyrone Washington, Woody Shaw, George Cables and Scotty Holt".
-
the Rutgers gig is actually on youtube by now
in that case, the unknown tune is at 28:45 in the first video...

Yes, 3/20, dumb typo.
I wonder how Tyrone's name got in the mix. I am also curious as to what the Untitled piece is.
I could now see a snippet of that CODA article on google books. The line-up with Washington is reported there for the Montreal gig - however, unfortunately, without a precise date...
but that date could be found... the 23 February 1969 edition of a newspaper named La Patrie mentions that Blakey would be at the Black Bottom in Montreal from 10 to 15 March 1969. So together with the Coda article, that confirms Washington with Blakey in mid-March.

Guess my question is how many tapes there are in total... There's a scenario where everything is a subset of this 2cd set of music which comes, most likely, from Rutgers
But there are also scenarios where there are separate tapes of either the March or April NYU gigs or both... What they all seem to have in common is a 20+ minute version of A Night in Tunisia
-
Is the tape the same as this bootleg cd?
Read the relevant passage in Carlos Garnett's autobiography and he mentions playing a "burning solo" in A Night in Tunisia on a live tape from New Jersey... But he doesn't mention whom he replaced, only that Woody Shaw recommended him to Blakey
-
you mean 3/20/69 p.15, right? That I have, there's no information about the lineup on that page
btw, here's the link to Michael Fitzgerald's page

Pretty sure it's the only label where I've sold off everything I ever bought (Homeward by Ack van R and that Eef Albers / Darryl Thompson Album come to mind, but there may have been more), and I did love Zweitausendeins (which was the only distributor?) as much as the next person .... or more
-
Had the same the last time I was in Gent... Antwerp used to be much better but they lost quite a few good stores in recent years... That said: I love used record stores, pretty much all of them, still agree that this is the best way of discovering a city - they are often in nice neighborhoods, too... But if things are at least sorted by genre, that's a big plus... I also still like the small differences between places/countries...

RIP, saw and heard him frequently in the 90s when we overlapped in Cologne, especially in the weekly Friday evening radio show on WDR 5 which featured mostly concerts/projects by the WDR big band...
-
18+ years between registering and the first post... Welcome + sounds like you have loads of stories I'd like to read!

Mine as well, the Enjoy Jazz festival, the lineup was remarkable that day, a two tenor frontline of Yusef Lateef and Shepp, accompanied by Mulgrew Miller, Reggie Workman and Hamid Drake but the concert didn't quite live up to that...
-
I saw Shepp in an even more depressing German city, Ludwigshafen ...

John Abercrombie. And there's a couple of Chris Potter-albums I like.
But some of the early records are spectacular. The ECM-sound seemed much more diverse, let's say, up to the mid-nineties. There were occasional albums too that didn't fit the aesthetic. I'm not aware of any such titles post-2000. Tasteful additions to their catalogue of introspective autumn-jazz - yes, but not much more.
Antenna by David Virelles is the first one that comes to my mind
it's many things but it's certainly not introspective autmn jazz
What music did you buy today?

Yes, that one but in the original gatefold LP, still without the musical notation ... Love that band photo...
