  1. Bailey shows up quite a bit in those Leftbank concert listings... That thread being up and the mention of Walt Namuth made me find another recording credit for the bass playing Donald Bailey ... https://www.discogs.com/de/release/8045466-Leslie-J-Schnierer-SJ-Ted-Hawk-Trio-The-Dawn
  2. Also Teagarden here, Shades of Night... Think well of me has the vocals as an added bonus and a better selection of material... But I like them both.
  3. https://home.nestor.minsk.by/jazz/index.html This site says yes, there'll be a CD for both McDuff and (maybe even more interestingly) Manne
  4. "Leading from the organ chair, McDuff is joined by Leo Johnson on tenor saxophone, flute and clarinet, Dave Young on tenor and soprano saxophone, Vinnie Corrao on guitar, and Ron Davis on drums." I read on lydialiebman.com on the same site, it says that the second LP of the Manne set has Hampton Hawes together with Frank Strozier...
  5. since Kirk Jr's legacy is so slim I thought I'd post something I saw yesterday even though it isn't much: the track Groove Street from Art Blakey's December 1947 Blue Note session is credited to Blakey and Kirk Jr on the original release. (Later issues claim Musa Kaleem aka Orlando Wright as the composer. Wright composed the flip side, Musa's Vision, so the most likely scenario is that this credit was wrongly extended to both sides of the record at a later date...). also, I saw in Kirk Sr's NYT obit that Kirk Jr. lived from 1929 to 1967.
  6. Like I wrote above, Green Patton Dixon was advertised in Pittsburgh for 15 November 1965... So, as argued above, Young's involvement is more plausible during the summer... Maybe there was more than one recording date...
  7. George Brown and George Brown, drummers Joe Thomas, Joe Thomas and Joe Thomas, saxophonists
  8. I will miss him, RIP
  9. On Spotify, you could do just that provided that everything you need is on there... (I guess it's the same on other services)
  10. Reading this sentence got me to look up the house, learn that it's now a museum (about itself, not about Leonhardt) and visit it this afternoon... A nice house to say the least
  11. Was also surprised to see how close Don Byron stayed to the original in many cases...
  12. That's been on my wishlist for a long time, never saw it so far...
  13. I envy you! Certain other hobbies I have are already quite a threat to storage space in our apartment... so finding room for a nice collection of beer glasses in the kitchen is one fight I've decided not to fight (and just drink everything from a large trappist glass)
  14. The design of the glass tells you all you need to know... That's why Belgians tend to be fairly religious about serving all beers from the proper glass... (And some of those habits are honored north of the border as well... As seen from our tiny glimpse into Pim's household)
  15. I saw him live a few times and enjoyed most of it quite a bit, I'm especially fond of the quartet with Sam Harris (and Sam Harris in general, check out his album on Freshsound!)... Owl Song I didn't like either though, similar idea to Wadada Leo Smith's Lebroba which I find much stronger
  16. Majesty King Funk indeed...
  17. that's a great book...
  18. I tend to agree, like the Aldana album much more than those two Lund albums... Heard Aldana's group live this weekend actually, quartet without piano, Lund was outstanding... and she mentioned the next album of her music with Lund would come out in April
  19. That, too, Discogs has quite a few versions including that bootleg on "Jazz Door" https://www.discogs.com/master/895315-Joe-Henderson-And-Kikuchi-Hino-In-Concert
  20. Re "some time ago", this material first came out in the 70s already...
  21. had to look up the address... Thorbeckeplein 5... Thorbeckeplein 16, just a few houses further is where Coleman Hawkins had his regular engagement in the 1930s (link)
