two decently priced orders from amazon.de marketplace, hope at least one of them will show up Grant Green - Blues for Lou John Patton - Accent on the blues

My thought as well. I do not know. From the NCA New York article: "AJAS produced its first jazz concert on December 24, 1956 at Small’s Paradise, with Lou Donaldson and the Bill English Quartet and a group of young budding jazz artists, George Braith, Bobby Capers, Vinnie McEwen, Oliver Beener, Pete LaRoca, Ray Draper and others." Vinnie McEwen = Vincent McEwan from John Patton's Boogaloo ?! what a band...

my first three were Horace Silver Song for my father, Art Blakey Moanin and Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage... don't know which one was first, got the latter two at the same time, Song for my father feels like my first Blue Note, don't have a very strong connection to the other two...

not very cold here; we do have rain though...

googled some lineups... Milt Jackson: James Moody (fl, vo) Milt Jackson (vib) Cedar Walton (p) Ron Carter (b) Otis "Candy" Finch (d) Moody only on flute and vocals ?! the masekela looks nice: Hugh Masekela (flhrn); Dudu Pukwana (as); Larry Willis (p, el-p); Eddie Gomez (b); Nakhaya Ntshoko (d)

Brecker Brothers - Return Of The Brecker Brothers (Verve ) Dizzy Gillespie - Cool World (Verve ) Dr. John - City Lights (Verve ) Hugh Masekela - Home Is Where The Music Is (Verve ) John Klemmer - Barefoot Ballet (Verve ) Maynard Ferguson - Octet (Verve ) Milt Jackson - Live At The Museum Of Modern Art (Verve ) Ramsey Lewis - Goin' Latin (Verve ) Stan Getz - Sweet Rain (Verve ) Willie Bobo - Bobo Motion (Verve ) if i copied them correctly (from allaboutjazz.com) these are the new (29 july) releases

saw Helge Schneider's movie Jazzclub yesterday and was strongly reminded of this thread Steinberg (played by Jimmy Woode) on Jazz (in german, the others basically say "this sounds good say it again") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L73dd1UwQzc the trio (Schneider, Woode, Pete York) playing... ("watch what happens when a customer happens to enter the jazz club...") edit to add one more, the jazz musician in his part-time job as (fake latino) call boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jONRsxtCZTM

two more ojcs, follow-up buying to Johnny Hammond Smith's Talk That Talk Oliver Nelson - Takin Care of Business Shirley Scott - Blue Seven

my chinese colleague just didn't believe me, we don't celebrate 4th of july here yet

I picked this up as a result of the enthusiasm expressed in this thread and I'm glad I did. A good, solid session with a little more invention than a usual organ- led one. Was impressed with Grant Reed in particular. Anyone know his background and/or other work? googled a little (had a bit of difficulties of getting warm with soul connection in the beginning, making my way now after the third listen...) for Grant Reed; as mentioned above he is on some Mongo Santamaria LPs (Mongo 70 and Mongo's Way), he is also on Shamek Farrah's La Dee La La

can we post albums with bass players and/or conga drummers?

had another candidate in the mail today Johnny Hammond Smith - Talk That Talk (from 1960 with Oliver Nelson (on some tunes only), George Tucker, Art Taylor and Ray Barretto) and then one with an interesting looking line-up that i don't own: Sarah Morrow & The American All Stars In Paris (2005) Sarah Morrow (trombone); Hal Singer (tenor saxophone); Rhoda Scott (Hammond b-3 organ); Wayne Dockery, Peter Giron (bass instrument); John Betsch, Jeff Boudreaux (drums) two more in the tenor/organ/drums format (available cheaply on cd the last time i looked) Jimmy Forrest - Heart of the Forrest (with Shirley Scott and Randissimo Marsh) John Simon - Legacy (with Don Patterson and Greg McDonald) two albums by trombonist Nils Wogram featuring Florian Ross on organ and Dejan Terzic on drums Daddy's Bones and Affinity

!happy birthday!

i once asked whether what i hear in places is uncredited guitar comping (or just one of the organ's amazing possibilities...)(didn't get an answer) leaving that issue aside Johnny Hammond Smith - A little taste qualifies more info from jazzdisco: RLP 496 Johnny "Hammond" Smith - A Little Taste Virgil Jones (tp) Houston Person (ts) Johnny "Hammond" Smith (org) Luis Taylor (d) NYC, 1963 don't find the album right now (second half of the open house twofer - get them while you can!!); in my old post i claimed the guitar playing was for example in nica's dream in various places including the organ solo...

guess i should really stop smoking before i stop being childish... you don't come across as an anti-smoking nut (and as i said some hard parts of quitting are still ahead of you i guess...) wishing you all the best (and maybe i'll make another try like... tommorrow... will make another try)

as far as i understand the physical addiction is over after three or four weeks of not smoking... personal experience is that, the first two days are essentially about "breaking the habit"; nothing strange happens to you when you don't smoke you just have to keep from buying the next pack... (that's why people who actually smoke a cigarette every hour can stay away from cigarettes for, say, a day or so on a plane or in other places where you cannot smoke); then come a few days of depression but at least for me these were always over by the end of the first week... and knowing where it comes from helps not to take it too seriously; and then you have to remain serious enough about not smoking, you have to remember it never really helped you or whatever... the tough part for me... because there will always be a few cigarettes that you remember quite fondly... (for instance you have to think "i took it as an anti-depressant but were i really less depressive than i am now"... not surprisingly i started again during a period when i cried like three times a day without any apparent reason ) started at 17, the day my father died, but actually, i guess, i really started because i hated school (not that would be a good reason for anything)... always smoked alone (though a few of my friends started subsequently... and there actually are two or three fine people out there who still smoke the brand that i used to smoke back in the day... don't know what part i played in that but you never know, it makes me feel uncomfortable) ... funny thing is, even when i was 13 i knew that if i ever started smoking i would not be able to quit easily, fits my nervous personality too much...

on saturday i went to the final night of the place that offered live jazz three minutes from my home four nights a week... missed that opportunity far to often... laugh at me but that was the first time i actually heard an organ group live, what a great experience... they played "soul jazz standards" (The jamfs are comin, Sugar, Jive Samba...) the band was Thomas Kimmerle (Tenor) Mäx Melters (Alto) Oscar Kliewe (Trumpet) Bernd Wurzenrainer (Organ) Stephan Drechsler (Drums) and special guest Michael Heupel on flute heupel was clearly the biggest name (or the only bigger name, even locally), though someone i'd rather have expected with three finnish harps than with an organ group... he did that roland kirk, singing into the flute, thing several times (also the first time i ever heard that - and then with organ...)... don't have much to say after all... they were all great but clearly the stand-out for me was alto player Max Melters... depressing that someone who can play like that and who must have been around for decades has less hits on google than me - hope this means he has a decent day job

Stravinsky - Three pieces for clarinet solo still can't really play it after all these years...

as someone who has still trouble reading English I must say I was very happy with the recent shift in personality - let to posts i could actually understand without much effort ... so i do encourage multiple memberships in this case...

quit smoking after reading allen carr's book and it lasted for a bit over two years... started again two years ago however, hope i will make it once more... i know the first two weeks of not smoking pretty well by now (like, i know depression will come on day 4 or 5, first time around i didn't really know how to take it by now i can more or less laugh about it... usually i start again after two or three weeks when i stop taking quitting to smoke seriously enough... put differently, i don't think the physical addiction is the difficult part if you have a strong enough will... despite the fact that i am smoking i would definitely recommend carr's insightful book... huge respect for anyone who's made it!

This was not a random reporting, Jazzmoose. Yours, however, is. if I tell you i am a psychic and the third child back in the second row of your first class is being molested by their uncle, you would immediately report it? hope you had great holidays!

to me this sounds like you didn't really grow up with that music (nothing wrong with that, actually i am a vaguely similar case i didn't start to listen to pop music until i was in my early twenties - although i did of course hear pop music before... once in a while i recognize a song i heard during driving lessons or the like - wouldn't call these formative experiences though... (in my case the difference is of course barely noticeable, six years, moreover these six years, don't make that much of a difference))

talking of divides... didn't notice until now that jetman and jazzjet are two different posters...?

iirc rage against the machine was what got the bands started in my high school; the one band from those high school days which is still around was started by someone whose then favorite artist was George Benson... http://www.myspace.com/therainrock played for a few years in a band before realizing that the others had all been listening to the first Louise Attaque album over and over again... (not a bad album at all... when i first heard it, it felt like i knew it better than most musics)
