Niko

oops, just sent my sister who lives in Vienna birthday greetings, referring to the "not so great weather"... should have done my homework a bit better

Which was a big public service, I've consulted that thesis quite a bit over the years ... Btw, I hope you've all checked out that tape from the digitized Phil Schaap collection with Patton, Bill Saxton (ts, the leader), Charles Sullivan(tp) and Eddie Gladden(dr)

Just playing The Cry again... When I bought it, the salesperson already commented on the great sound (and, of course, it's also a pleasure to have a physical store in walking distance where a record like this doesn't arrive unnoticed)... It's been a favorite record for a long time, normally I'm not in the market for fancy reissues of things I already have on CD...

Got this one yesterday and have to fully agree...

my feelings as well, literally almost fell asleep when I heard the trio with Crispell at Jazz in Middelheim in 2017... I also like other Motian records better than those with Lovano... One album with Lovano that works very well for me is Stolas from John Zorn's Book of Angels with Lovano basically taking Zorn's place in Masada and Uri Caine added on piano, giving an Eastern-tinged Hard Bop Sound that's a bit reminiscent of those nice Dusko Goykovich albums...

RIP

The original liner notes speak about "grand old veteran Jo Jones" so if there is an error, it must have happened internally at Prestige back in the day...

Ah, I'd forgotten he was behind "I remember bebop" as well ... That 10in LP is indeed one of those sessions, with Milt Jackson, Al Cohn, JJ Johnson.... There's a track where Milt Jackson sings that's been missing on most later reissues (and I can kind of see why)

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that they were married.... Will try to remember where... maybe I just remembered what I considered most plausible

I don't know the book so don't know what's in it.... I recently stumbled upon this webpage which has among others "An Annotated Tentative Personnelo - Discography" of Henderson's bands in several volumes... https://www.harlem-fuss.com/bands.html

yes, I love that cover, too... it was one of those moments that make you love record stores, you walk in and then right by the door is this beautiful record you've never even heard of, with a lineup composed from some of your favorite scenes (Belgium: Quersin, Netherlands: Ilcken, didn't record much, France: Solal, Bay Area: Dickie Mills...) in half-decent condition for a really nice price... I actually had another experience like that recently, quite a similar record, in a way... playing that now

Jazz on the Left Bank a recent lunchtime find, Martial Solal is by far the biggest name in the group, it's nice cool jazz album... 20 years later the same designer would make the cover art for Keith Jarrett's Birth

never even heard of him - I started following jazz only in the second half of the 1990s when his and Klatt's stars had almost faded ... and then left Germany before his comeback...

Iirc this is not one of my two Extra Ball albums but yes, they were a really good band

Klatt is pretty much forgotten even home in Germany, I discovered him by accident a few years ago and have really liked everything I heard, I have four of his albums by now and some more sideman work, one of the very few people in German jazz of the 80s and 90s that interest me... there's a nice documentary about him but even native English speakers Marty Cook and Paul Grabowsky are forced to speak German in there (which they do extremely well) edit/ps: around the 1:00 mark of the movie (not this youtube video), you can hear a frustrated Peter Wiessmueller (Enja/Tutu) present some of the Klatt records he was involved with including Elephantrombones but especially the last one, a digipack CD where Klatt insisted on a non-rectangular shape and on putting a different little artwork on every single copy...

Those three LPs are favorites over here!

https://jazz.fm/verve-records-announces-new-charlie-parker-album/ some more info here, Phil Baxter is apparently a Kansas city friend of Charlie Parker. According to the track list given there, the first seven tracks were recorded at Baxter's home, just alto with bass and drums, the other six are as mhatta writes above

Wim Overgaauw - Blue Guitar a concept album, the concept being that all songs have the word "blue" in the title, Blues in the night, When Sunny gets blue, Blue in Green etc

Revisiting an old favorite from the 1990s Label Bleu catalogue... Not sure how well it has aged, but I did get into it after a while + remembered that this is one of those albums that work better if you skip the first track

Yes, indeed (even though I prefer the Sclavis Trio you played).... Back then, I also liked the Bojan Z albums like Yopla, will need to revisit, it's been a while.... (Ah, and there are also some nice Christian Escoude albums on Gitanes from that decade)

That Sclavis album is a great one ... I also really like Henri Texier's series from that time (An Indian's week, for instance)...

Europe is similar to America in the sense that there's a lot of heterogeneity... I live in a not-so-hip but central part of a big city and have three great vegetarian restaurants in walking distance, one of which is hardcore vegan + gluten-free... finding a restaurant that is not prepared for vegetarian customers would be a challenge but I guess it's possible... if you go to some hipster area in Berlin or so, there might be even more variety of vegan stuff, if you go to the wrong rural place in the middle of nowhere, they will think that bacon and chicken are vegetarian and still put no meal that they would consider vegetarian on the menu... to fix ideas, here's the current menu of the Bimhuis https://www.bimhuis.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/V03-BIMHUIS-EN-Menukaart-Juni-1.pdf starters are 8 to 14 Euro (which is about the same as Dollar), main courses 17 to 25, and the guiding idea is that there should be one meat, one fish and one vegetarian option available which is quite common in the Netherlands... (and I guess the Miso soup and the curry are vegan while the second vegetarian starter, the halloumi, obviously isn't). At the Bimhuis, there are, of course, no minimum thresholds, the dinner is an option you can add to the concert evening (and then you eat before the concert, in a different room). For me, a concert evening is usual a ticket plus two Orval at 21+5.50+5.50=32 Euro...

and Charles WIlliams is also in it, thanks for the heads-up! forum member Joel Fass also shows up on a few shows... since this thread is up again, let me just shout once again that there's a pretty nice session with John Patton in there as well https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/133113

Thanks for the explanation! I followed it up with wikipedia ("In the United States, the fee averages approximately 2% of transaction value. In the EU, interchange fees are capped to 0.3% of the transaction for credit cards and to 0.2% for debit cards, while there is no cap for corporate cards.") and then it does make sense... Over here, when I read something like this, the subtext would be "hey, let's avoid taxes and split the difference"...
