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....

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 )

(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!

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 -

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) -

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... ) -

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... -
indeed... maybe the emigration is your birthday present and she already organized everything - how disappointed would she be about the surprise being spoiled

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...

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

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)

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

Good & Bad News: aka, Where is my account!?
Niko replied to Jim Alfredson's topic in Forums Discussion
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

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)
