waldron is only on one track "E's Flat AH's Flat Too" got this album just three weeks ago but like a lot what I am hearing so far what a saxophone section (John Handy, Jackie McLean, Booker Ervin, Pepper Adams)

Andrew Prine Valerie Perrine Reginald Perrin People Who Make Parenthetical Comments When They Write Dewey Redman (Joshua's Father) Victor Feldman Dewey Redman Daniel Smith Simon de Canterville (and isn't it better to die as a father than to die as a son)

sounds scary - why couldn't they just leave things the beautiful way they were

time for the if you could only keep one Green (Jones, Davis, endless possibilities) in your collection which one would it be thread... (Grant Thad Lockjaw for me i suppose) Grant, Boogaloo Joe, Lockjaw for me. (Just as well you didn''t mention Smith.) MG I had thought of Smith before Davis but had thought it to be a sacrilege to admit Elliott on an organ site

two more: a great version is on elmo hope sounds from riker's island another one i hear a lot is on tony fruscella / brew moore at the open door my favorite is the 1946 Bird Dial version

just noticed that the ratios between total number of posts and the number of posts in the most active topic are nonsense in some cases this is from randy twizzles profile: total number of posts jazzypaul also has a ratio of "66% of this member's active posts" but the numbers never give 66% still can't believe it... must have another look

I haven't seen any new Fantasy items on their website or in their shops for weeks, so I doubt that there will be more coming up. And they are now offering the new Prestige RVGs distributed by Universal in Europe ... doesn't look like much new will be coming, but i did see one or two items i didn't know yesterday and today (a digipack double CD best of Montreux 1970-1979 for example, not that i bought it) so maybe it's not yet time to give up... didn't find any interesting Fantasy/OJC stuff in weeks either

another explanation of why he is coming back all the time

admittedy, I am using the search function as well whenever it makes any sense...(favorite counter example is still joe guy) don't know why though

the coleman thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=23633 another thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=17741 another thread http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...;f=6&t=1720 distel http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=2681 don't complain! use google!

actually i'm thinking about him quite frequently these days , mostly angry with myself that i didn't get that milestone julian priester / walter benton twofer when it was at 2001 some weeks ago... (but admittedly haven't heard anything besides the brownie stuff)

Rollins lived three lives in 1981/1982 alone while I was just getting started with my first one, wow!

in case anyone else needs it: stingray is Stachelrochen (pastenague in french while the spanish part of dict.leo.org didn't find anything )

in the debut story box the pianist on those tracks is called WD Jr (but in the accompanying review he's called WD II) seems to be the same

also heard him live once in 1998 or so with his quartet, one of the greatest concerts i ever attended - that day of the year has been my lucky day ever since... RIP

please report! i don't know their two albums but they have Don Sleet on them (and Daniel Jackson and this one also has a song written and arranged by Elmo Hope)

i remember reading somewhere sometime that the Pacific Jazz Album of Lenny McBrowne and the Four Souls (hope i am not confusing anything) would not come out on cd for commercial considerations... it's definitely on my wish list though i haven't heard it

i feel a little tempted to set up a "why didn't you watch the Ken Burns documentary?" poll

admitted - he didn't stay like this, heroin, however was not the only reason why he lost those looks in the 70s i believe (according to de valk when baker died the initial police protocol estimated his age as around thirty while he really was 58... IIRC the numbers are very close to those in the story surrounding charlie parker's death but with alternated roles: bird was around 30 but was estimated as 53) (and in this sense baker kept his looks one might say)

in a recent discussion on the chet baker mailing list (one of those "did ... have aids" threads), jeroen de valk claimed that baker's looks had these ups and downs as well... here is a quote from his post:

maybe early in his career he was overrated given what he had achieved until then and given the (low) attention many others, Jack Sheldon, Tony Fruscella, whoever, got... but the, say, best 20 percent of his albums taken together are a body of work which is simply astonishing... (at chewy: from what i read he really survived that long... he must have been more robust physically than his 1950s promo pictures want to make you believe) edit to add: while baker recorded "magical mystery tour" in the sixties, fruscella is reported to simply have said something such as "this is the end" when the beatles arrived in the US... i will never like baker better than fruscella, but baker was tougher it seems

think of the costs of all the people who had to keep their shops closed that day and stuff... never liked grill parties terribly much

you mean, larry kart, not paul secor... and larry kart has shared more of the story in some other thread IIRC (a "what did you do the day bean died" thread, or something) (thank you Mr Kart)
