saw such a thread earlier today, one of these great recommendations threads started by rooster_ties but can't find it anymore... Oliver Nelson arranged a lot of such one-time Big Band sessions for people a really great one: Eddie Lockjaw Davis "Whistle Stop" a not so great one: Clark Terry All-American... Tadd Dameron did some such big band sessions in his last burst of activity on Riverside, Blue Mitchell's strings album Smooth as the Wind, Milt Jackson's Big Bags [both albums had other arrangers as well] and his own The Magic Touch (for him it was the step from ca 10 piece to real big band), iirc he also did something for Sonny Stitt round that time... some of the Randy Weston albums I'd like to know fall under your description, Tanjah, for example is there a Bill Evans Big Band album?

just to make the information complete in this thread as well (the other:http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=36574&st=0&gopid=701793&#entry701793) this source claims that tenorists McCain and Rouse were annouced before the concert... http://www.jazzdocumentation.ch/philippi/4personenusa.pdf

ah, the Rouse/Byas mystery is solved there... so Ellington regularly had six saxophonists at that time? (strange idea that just in 1950 the saxophone section was bigger than at any other time...) (Hamilton, Procope, Hodges, McCain, Rouse/Byas, Carney)

according to this source http://www.jazzdocumentation.ch/philippi/4personenusa.pdf the announced line-up had Charlie Rouse and Alva McCain as tenor saxophonists... the same google query yielded this phd thesis on Julius Watkins, btw http://etd.fcla.edu/UF/UFE0012940/smith_p.pdf

since you've joined exactly a year ago today ( ) you should know by now that we prefer it when people dig out threads from several years ago which are vaguely related to post their inquiries! it helps us keep the information together

Happy Birthday

ah, thank you, Judgement... although i said i dislike Andrew!!! - interesting and i will take that serious because I've loved Hutcherson on all the other records i have him on..

ok, same question from me, i have (roughly in the order in which i like them) Lift every voice (clearly favorite so far) Compulsion, Grass Roots Point of Departure Andrew!!! i have the vague impression that i have not yet found my favorite Hill date, though i am reasonably glad about having the ones i have and the only one i really don't get into is Andrew!!!; what do I need next?

you'll see that assertion more often from now on...

(the expression on the left hand side of aparaxas formula gives 18,999098... or something like that, so its a close approximation to a fancy way of writing 19...) (and if the 9 on your calculator isn't working anymore and you don't want to write 8+1 this is another way to go, no, not very funny)

got out my calculator now... great formula for when the nine on the calculator isn't working any more... (who needs more than three digits after all..)

as we have a similar discussion going on elsewhere at the moment... it seems that nobody had noticed that The Jamestrane had also asked for other artists besides Patton that he might enjoy - that you really can't answer that easily with just the search function...

Probably Cecil Taylor. hint: it was posted in another thread within the last two days...

reminds me of the collection of drawings of sample paths of Brownian motion by as many probability theorists as possible which i never started...

Tapscott/Carter/Bradford - West Coast Hot spotted a used 9,99 Euro copy at amazon.de

i just prayed... (and then i added an extra prayer for chris albertson)

out of linguistic curiosity: are there other languages besides German where "to give up the ghost" (den Geist aufgeben) is a term for dying (though more common for cars than for humans)

Jackie's Bag. Pretty sure it doesn't have Mogie on it, but it's my favorite of Jackie McLean's albums of that time. i always thought of (the rvg with the three extra tracks of) this as a tina brooks album, i love it but wouldn't have compared it to leeway... but admittedly i always skip the first three tracks with Donald Byrd, thought they were boring but maybe i should give them a chance to grow on me...

maybe this is the right point in the thread to ask: if i like leeway, what else do i need? probably not moanin and the sidewinder... i'd guess Jackie McLean's Prestige Sessions are a little like this? the Kenny Dorham / Jackie Mclean albums come to mind, but what else...?

and the piano entry after the bass solo...

Yep. Happened to me at my grandfather's funeral. Believe me, I didn't consider it funny. at my grandfathers funeral we walked in the second row behind my uncle, my grandmother and my grandfather's favorite niece who were all hairdressers, hadn't met in some time and talked all the way from the church to the grave about new directions in coloring hair... it was funny though i didn't quite get that when it happened

1000000% in agreement here! I think that's what makes this date so disappointing: it sounds like Art Blakey is trying to be Art Taylor, as opposed to being the driving force that he normally is. Not a slam against A.T., who can forceful as well, because I love his style of drumming. But only HE can be A.T., whereas only Blakey can be Blakey. Blue Note trying to be Prestige was one of my first thoughts...

looks scary! here's the most scary picture of me available at the moment: http://www.adapmc07.enst.fr/Picture/highres/p1010002.jpg (not very scary i guess) Don't kid yourself, it is very scary. i had thought i was very lucky, the guy who took the photos at that conference, well, he was really a nice guy, but some of his pictures could seriously compete with ubu's passport photos... http://www.adapmc07.enst.fr/Picture/

got this two weeks or so ago, my first lee morgan record... i don't find it boring, but maybe i know what you mean... i had had the slight hope that the song "These are soulful days" (which i didn't know but the title...) would completely blow me away from the first listen on... it didn't the theme was somehow not exactly what i had hoped for and then that they (iirc... have it at work) start with a bass solo, and then the next two themes were not compelling enough to make up for that isappointment ... but the song has definitely grown on me, i and now after five or six listens i do remember what had initially bothered me (as i just did ) but can't really hear it any more... there are lots of things i haven't heard yet, but compared to many other hardbop records i do ear a certain urgency in it (the lack of which is maybe my biggest problem with a lot of hard bop records such as, say, the jazz messengers' moanin...) guess McLean has a lot to do with that... but again there is so many things i have not yet heard that i actually shouldn't post this...
