since this is an allen lowe thread we're allowed to post stuff again and again... i'd definitely like to hear those willette 45s

congratulations - that was pretty fast! actualy, i have another stupid question on the schildkraut/triglia item - didn't you mention somewhere that bill triglia has a vast collection of tapes (and when i first saw the item i had hoped this was from there) - is there any chance we will get to hear some of it some day? hard to imagine such a collection not containing dozens of interesting things by underrecorded artists... (sorry if my memory has failed me here...)

the one with eaves is identical to one of the enja albums (search for tomorrow) and is out on a twofer cd with inside story... no cd reissues of the others afaik

good luck on ebay, for 5$ each ralph burns - jazz studio vol 5 (with dave schildkraut) barney wilen - modern nostalgie

when you read the interview (like i just did) you'll find it has an extensive section on that album, for instance "Chris Bateson has a round, full trumpet tone that reminds me of Idrees Sulieman, who I used to play with in New York. And John Mumford played wonderfully relaxed trombone—his conception is very individual."

don't know where to find this officially, but the great prince lasha died on december 11 at the age of 79... don't know much of his works but his two contemporary albums with sonny simmons are some of my favorite records; recently i got the twofer with his enja albums and love it as well a biography/discography is on the sonny simmons homepage http://www.sonnysimmons.org/lasha.htm and here is a great interview by our own clifford... http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=19743 dustygroove has lasha's 1965 album scheduled for reissue next year, btw http://www.dustygroove.com/browse.php?labe...&format=all Prince Lasha Ensemble : Insight (CBS BPG62409) rec. 65.12.01 p. 1966 Nuttin' Out Jones - Out Of Nowhere - Body And Soul - Impressions Of Eric Dolphy - Everything Happens To Me - Just Friends. Prince Lasha : flute, alto sax. David Snell : harp. Chris Bateson : trumpet. John Mumford : trombone. Stan Tracey : piano. Jeff Clyne, Dave Willis, Rick Laird : drums. Joe Oliver : drums. Rec. in London, UK. a great, more recent photo on wikipedia, don't know how to put it here http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...Wanda_Sabir.jpg

my favorite larger group evans album is (by far) charles mingus east coasting

in that huge fantasy sale a few years ago i got - since i am not a big piano solo or trio fan - mostly the larger enseble evans discs, the hubbard and sims, quintessence with harold land and kenny burrell and the quintet disc with konitz and marsh... haven't played them in quite some time but iirc concerning the sound of the group i even liked the sims disc best... (in the liner notes keepsnews mentions it wasn't clever in retrospect to let hubbard mostly play standards and sims mostly play unknown to him originals... (and that evans needed money badly at that time and recorded maybe a bit to much))... i wouldn't hesitate with the sims session too much, great players, great material, some great moments... (the album with hubbard is much smoother)

happy birthday!

recently made the transition from my daily coffee, cigarettes and chocolate brunch to mate tea, so-called swedish bread ("schwedenbrötchen" a mix between croissants and ordinary bread) (and cigarettes, that part wasn't planned) my chinese office neighbour discovered rhooibos tea last year and was totally blown away (he calls it "german tea" though)

went to a joan baez concert this summer and that was really frightening even to me - i don't have particular good ear... for instance on one tune baez tuned her guitar which took like forever and when she thought she was done my girlfriend (whose parents were the driving force behind our presence there) and me said simultaneously "she can't start playing like this", results didn't sound too charming... no idea why she didn't let someone else do it after all those years she should really know she can't do it later she sung an a capella version of swing low sweet chariot and that one was badly out of tune as well (she did more annoying things but those didn't have to do with playing/singing out of tune...)

guess i have some idea what this might mean

I think Storyville is more interesting... but then it's been among the two or three first Parker discs I've known (thanks to our high school's library). I don't like the band parts of the Washington that much, but I remember the final few tracks being quite good. That Washington disc was part of a batch of releases with Bill Evans In Paris Vol. 1/2, Getz/Dailey "Poetry" and I think two by Petrucciani (100 Hearts, Live at the Vanguard). Of those, the OOP Getz/Dailey is the most recommended, one, another beautiful one by Getz, though at a much later point in time than the great Roost sessions. The Parker Washington disc is essential for the added small group tracks, not the big band tracks. The small group tracks are incredible, Bird is in awesome form. just saw i have the four quartet tracks with jack holiday, franklin skeete and max roach on some cheapo compilation... is the disc still essential for me?

don't have anything clever to say about the blackburn, but i played it a lot and wouldn't want to miss it... i tend to play it when i'm in a horace silver mood otherwise generally not much in a classic blue note mood at this point which i will regret some day, just ordered larry young - mother ship jackie mclean - jacknife charles mingus - wonderland charlie parker - storyville (how does this compare to the washington concert?)

jazzdisco.org lists ten sessions after 1964... (and the barry harris sextet date from 1968 is easily recommended)

entered "holy ghost territory" this morning when buying Joe Roland - Joe Roland (Bethlehem) and JR Monterose at the Tender Trap

Details? michael fitzgerald did a monterose discography... http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Mon...se/jrm-disc.htm btw, i played rene thomas "guitar groove" the other day and it's amazing album (ojc!) with great contributions from monterose (actually, i used to not really get this album but decided to make it my favorite thomas album now)

love el hombre, also love the trudy pitts legends of acid jazz disc (but it's completely different)... fantasy put out four eric kloss twofers, martino is on three of those, one album on each, about time (only have that one, martino with don patterson (there are various excellent albums with patterson of martino)), sky shadows in the land of giants (with jaki byard/cranshaw/dejohnette) and "& the rhythm section" (with corea/holland/de johnette)

oh, i definitely do consider myself lucky (actually, often enough i feel she understands the music i love better than me, she just doesn't like it - guess we couldn't be more different as listeners (and musicians, too)) (funny incident a few hours ago; we're about to start a new band together with a few other people, jazz fans, and she honestly told me "it's not what i really want to do but a jazz band would perfectly be ok with me")(and i said i don't want to hear myself soloing over night in tunisia, and i guess i'm with pretty much anybody who has his senses together on this... no jazz band, definitely - hope we can convince the others) will never forget living without a roommate for the first time. this feeling of going to the toilet thinking "it's only 100 euro more a month and you don't have to share it with anybody" - priceless, i waited far too long

don't overlook the weston and sims! sims is one of my favorite cds actually

package from nimbus west arrived today (could hardly have been faster) (customs receipt signed by mr albach himself btw) no reason to worry about reliability apparently!

doesn't it say in the notes burrell was just a guest for that night? one of my favorite trumpet players!

Sounds familiar too ... but what do you (or your girlfriend mean by "guitars not played properly"? Is playing single note lines "proper" or isn't it? she is a pretty good "folk-style" guitar player and finds indeed that raney-style guitar players don't use the instrument the right way (must admit, i can't really understand this) - guess she feels a really good guitar player should play several melodies at once or the like... don't think she has a problem with the tone (because at heart she is an acoustic guitarist) (besides, she is always pissed when she hears people in rock bands who are not at her level techincally but don't have to do a sillly job like her) she did like the elek bascik jazz in paris disc, for instance... concerning brass players, i think a single, not overly brassy trumpet player is ok with her (like she had to watch "the glenn miller story" at school years ago and said something along the lines "the guy is all the time trying to improve the sound of the band, but it's obvious that the sound cannot improve if you triple all the instruments nobody wants to hear so that they completely overpower the better instruments such as guitar, piano, clarinet...") (but as i mentioned above, she did acknowledge that the edelhagen band we watched on tv was a tremendously tight band technically (and that bora rokovic was an amazing piano player)... shake keane's solos she didn't like at all though)
