George Benson? Freddie Robinson? Joe Beck? Jimi Hendrix? There's so many more people I'm forgetting... The statement didn't feel quite right to me either....

I've streamed In Sommerhausen a few weeks ago and thought it sounded great ... Probably helped that the music is so good... And, indeed, it would be super weird if this wasn't the same version as on the CD - but I'm fairly ignorant about audio matters so curious about everyone else's verdict

A favorite... rip

"Hans" is J.A.

Looking at Discogs, I'd say somewhere between 10 and 20... You could animate the discussion by letting us know why you care about the answer and, possibly, what you think the answer might be...

Happy Birthday!

back as a kid in the 90s, he was one of my favorite authors... RIP

Conrad Lester was a soul jazz tenor from Newark who recorded mostly with Jimmy McGriff... Hampton Hawes – All Night Session! Vol. 2

just so I understand it: the Dragon release was on Spotify, of course it was authorized, but Zev and his cohorts - who must have known - made a complaint to ban it from Spotify? Somehow, every RSD the guy manages to annoy me big time, and I don't even buy his stuff (last year, there was the issue of the second tenor on the Stitt LP)

Read your interview with him again when playing the album, thank you so much for that, it's a very useful resource on an aspect of the Dutch Jazz scene that hasn't been covered that much elsewhere

FIve Times Six (Cat Records) yesterday on the King's annual birthday flea market, I didn't even try, but a year ago, I actually managed to find an album from my extended wish list... so playing it again on the occasion (even though commentators pointed out that the King lost quite a bit of weight over the year, so that there's substantially less King to celebrate this year than a year ago...)

I wasn't in the market but I am pretty sure I saw copies of the Rollins here in Amsterdam the Monday after RSD

Most of the books I buy sell less than 2000 copies, so from that perspective I'm buying almost nothing, following the author's logic... Same for music btw

My best shot at what could be meant... More info there... Apparently there's overdubbing so Duvivier and Solal will really be heard together... Coronet seems to be Columbia... And whether Duvivier should be considered a Co-Leader here I wouldn't want to judge

Besides myself, Duke Ellington comes to mind

This may well lead to a fragmentation of the market, similar to what we already know from movie platforms... Which is certainly not in the interest of listeners... While there's stuff not to like about Spotify, it did seem to correspond to a model that maximized the power of listeners to the detriment of labels and artists (with the threat of Napster in the background)... Curious how this all will play out...

I have that Lesberg album, it's a good one... I have two more nice ones featuring Miller, one is the four tenor meeting of Ben Webster, Lockjaw, Miller and Bud Freeman - can't really go wrong with this even though it's not quite as great as I would have hoped, the other a split LP on Southland with a small group (and the other half by Armand Hug, fine pianist)

big Fruscella fan here... Fresh Sound also has what survived of that second Fruscella Atlantic album...

which Eddie Miller records would you recommend? (I have some that I like but there's room for more) brought back from Copenhagen and now playing for the third time or so... a meeting of two bands, one built around McPartland, the other around Hodes, with most players from both bands on most tracks, including e.g. Pee Wee Russell, Bud Freeman, Vic Dickinson, George Brunies, George Wettling... the state of "Chicago Jazz" ca 1962

Terrace Martin on twitter, according to an earlier post, Keys was his uncle, they were also supposed to appear at the Newport Jazz Festival together this year... RIP

on spotify, they are there as seven individual albums - but in the past, what you could stream there in Europe was not necessary the same as what you could stream in the US... I could also stream them all via youtube, again this (the first track) may not be available in the US

to answer my own question, I had twice about 2h in Copenhagen and spent them well (except that I didn't see much of the city). There are loads of smaller record stores so a tool like recordstores.love is useful... The two that I would strongly recommend are Sound Station (huge selection, a bit pricey though) and Jazzcup (only jazz, loads of it though - not a problem for me but maybe for others), both about 20 minutes walking distance from the main train station, though in different directions, and in both cases there are more nice stores in the surrounding area...

Big fan of Chicago Symphonies (and the slightly earlier Sacred Ceremonies), the emerald duets I have not played so much yet, the string quartets I have streamed a bit but 7cds seemed a lot

The discography on wardellgray.org says poss. John Anderson, Louis Grey, Allen Smith (tp); Bob Collins, poss. Isaac Bell, Atlee Chapman, John “Streamline” Ewing, or Britt Woodman (tb); prob. Sonny Criss, poss. Jerry Dodgion (as); Teddy Edwards, poss. Frank Haynes (ts); Jerome Richardson (flute); poss. Bill Green (bar); poss. Cedric Haywood (p); poss. Addison Farmer (b); poss. Gus Gustafson (d); Gerald Wilson (arr, cond); Bill Renault (Bill Jones) (voc) Criss and Dodgion as the two altos I find believable

Kenny Clarke, born Thomas Spearman is a great example for this thread... Also, all those Austrian Free Jazz players like Muhammad Malli from the Masters of Unorthodox Jazz Edit: sorry, meant the other stage names thread
