    Prestige RVGs

    this is interesting to hear, i didn't get the the OJC (could have taken it at 2001 but had already found 5 pr 6 things that day:angry: ) but did notice the unusual bass on the rvg which i've been listening to frequently these days
  3. !!Happy Birthday !!

    Dizzy Gillespie

    thank you! I never really took a closer look at this series, thinking they were all compilations!
  5. from a lengthy interview with Ray Charles alumni Mitch Manker and Daniel Jackson (who also played with Rich ) which is found here: http://entertainment.signonsandiego.com/profile/274134 and
  6. another fine album with joe gordon on it is harold land's west coast blues (line up is: Joe Gordon, Harold Land, Wes Montgomery, Barry Harris, Sam Jones, Louis Hayes ) (and he's also on jimmy woods awakening which i do not know...) and another for those art blakey tracks with gordon and gigi gryce!
  7. does anyone know details about this?
  8. Low Flame is pretty much the best of the Patterson / Stitts I have, very integrated, some great Paul Weeden on the first half (which is a Jazzland LP iirc btw), Stitt sings on one tune....
  9. this site http://www.oradell.org/se/beefsteak.htm contains a 12 second movie showing how this April
  10. My most recent purchase Lou Donaldson Quartet Live in Bologna, my CD has the first version on front and a variant of the second photo inside; (both great photos are by Hans Harzheim and looking at the second one it could well be from Düsseldorf where he lives and where I lived until some weeks ago and not from Bologna )
  11. (Still don't get here as often as I would like to, so I am a little late - hope this improves in a few weeks) Congratulations!
  12. Amen to that. I just pulled this off e-Music the other night. Some serious mojo here. I like it better than "Conflict". Wonder why this guy just stopped playing? It's sure not for lack of chops. Up over and out. after it was mentioned in the Conflict AOTW thread that Woods lived in Alaska now I did some googling which turned up this site http://www.mtaonline.net/~midnight/james.html with a recent photograph - seems to be playing still (or again) but changed his name to James (almost back here now after moving to another town again - will take some more weeks until normal life starts again) haven't got awakening but recently listened to the Joe Gordon Looking Good with Woods again -
  13. great upon first impression! got two more really really great albums from 2001 last week which were recommended here (both from brownie and ubu iirc) Art Blakey The Jazz Messengers (Columbia) and Barney Wilen with Phillipe Petit Flash Back (the latter is a shop-only thing i think, maybe they had it some months ago)
  14. more desparately waiting for the list no party yet, will have to do a presentation tommorow morning and have to work though I don't feel like it at all... celebrated by buying johnny griffin "the congregation" and "wheelin and dealin" (and will get some other cd later today i think but not yet completely sure what, maybe the kenny burrell "blue lights" double CD from 2001... )
  15. now i am finished with my studies!! the final examination took 90 minutes instead of 30 because the examinator (?) was feeling sick and went to the toilet three times for 20 minutes in the course of testing me...didn't make me less nervous... still very nice that he didn't cancel the exam...
  16. indeed... maybe the emigration is your birthday present and she already organized everything - how disappointed would she be about the surprise being spoiled
  17. i don't have much vocal jazz either but like this one a lot: dinah washington - for those in love yes, it's not a quartet/trio... but you can't have anything against (iirc) clark terry, jimmy cleveland, paul quinichette, cecil payne, barry galbraith, wynton kelly, keter betts, jimmy cobb arranged by quincy jones...
  18. when i had my "Hammett then Chandler then McDonald" Summer three years ago I finished it with Ross Thomas "Missionary Stew". Somehow it's a political criminal novel in the tradition of "the glass key" (or, if you want a step, away from usual criminal novels into the direction of eric ambler) but what it keeps from the Marlowe/Archer world is the lonesome guy driving through southern california (iirc)... highly recommended... didn't check out any further Ross Thomas back then - the summer was over - should do that some time
  19. 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)
  20. 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)
  21. sounds scary - why couldn't they just leave things the beautiful way they were
  22. 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
  23. 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)
  24. 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
  25. 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
