Don Patterson - Genius of the B3

yes, I like that Rowles album a lot... one of my biggest regrets is not buying a stash of those 70s Jimmy Rowles LPs when I saw it... so now I buy them one by one whenever I see them... coincidentally, seeing the Breuker album posted, at the same shop, I bought something on BVHAAST last week, Breuker's label, and the sales clerk noted they were drowning in Breuker-associated stuff... so I guess I should get some more before I regret it...

The special magic of Jimmy Rowles

And for the rest of the week, I'd put Knight or Kelly and Ramey or Bell...

Thanks! Now playing: Grandpaws by Jimmy Rowles

How is that one? Have been curious for a while and see it from time to time but never picked it up....

In a few weeks the answer will probably be yes, but in a top-down political system like they have in the US, it takes a few days for presidential decisions to become operational at the post office level.... In four weeks or so, they'll have a preferred way of collecting their tariffs and then postal services will be operational again, most likely.... Of course, the tariffs will still have to be paid and I will not comment further on possible long run effects because for good reasons political debates are forbidden here + how would I know

loaded up on more Lester Young bootlegs during lunch break... two more Ambrosias, one on Charlie Parker records, and this one...

This looks like Andrew Hill with a larger UK band...

Ron Horton's A Prayer For Andrew is indeed a really nice album, haven't played it in a while but there was a time when I streamed it frequently...

thanks, this is all super interesting, I really like the piano playing in this session, so good to know it's Eark Knight ... (and Jesse Drakes is really good, too). Still, curious where Buchmann-Moller got his information... He wrote that Young's manager Charlie Carpenter organized the band with Kelly, Bell and Abrams for Young so that it was ready after he got back from a JATP tour... the Buchmann-Moller book was in excerpts on archive.org... the Ambrosia disc I got from a local shop which I knew had two or three of them... "Dan Morgenstern's notes for some Lester Young box" I had misremembered, it was Dan Morgenstern's Lester Young discography in the 1973 Downbeat yearbook here on p.52, based on Jepsen...

I usually don't buy Concord albums but this one I don't regret at all... almost a Hard Bop album, with Herman Riley, Chuck Berghofer and the great Donald Bailey...

when I saw a cheap copy of Ambrosia 30 yesterday, I couldn't resist and took it home to compare against the broadcast here: and these are the same versions of the same songs. To be more precise, compared to the A side of Ambrosia 30, In a little spanish town is missing and the order of Lester Leaps In and Destination Moon is flipped but that's the only difference. So this is the tape that is commonly dated 25 April 1952. The lineup with Kelly, Bell and Abrams is consistent, e.g., with what is found in Frank Buchmann Moller's book but other sources give other lineups, most commonly Knight as a possible alternative for Kelly (e.g. in Dan Morgenstern's notes for some Lester Young box I saw yesterday, can't find it now)

the way I understand it is that the practical side of things is still very much in the air - which is exactly the reason why the European postal services stopped shipping now, they just don't know how it works.

what the tariff on imports from France will be in about a month, I wouldn't dare to predict... but I would expect that amazon finds ways of delivering stuff even if the local postal services don't do it... for instance, as far as I know, UPS is still available... but, yes, of course, it could happen that they cancel a preorder if the delivery option you chose ceases to exist...

One of my very favorite recent jazz albums, certainly my favorite of hers... Her upcoming album sounds like it will be quite different, with Cuban (iirc) influences, some vocals... Curious how that will be ...

Mysterious! Looking at the discography (Evensmo), it seems that Destination Moon is the track that wasn't recorded often... and which points to 25 April 1952 where the other tracks were recorded as well. For this, the Evensmo-lineup is what you have but with Wynton Kelly, Aaron Bell and Jo Jones sitting in for Abrams on some tracks... Now it seems unlikely to me that this Jazz Club USA epsiode was forgotten in all the discographies... And even if the tracks came from different nights with different lineups, that wouldn't make Feather's announcement correct... So my tentative conclusion is 25 April 1952 and Feather was announcing a lineup he'd maybe received in advance.... Also possible that Feather is right about the lineup and discographies are wrong. The first step would be to compare the music from 25 April to the radio show...

yes, that is true... then again, especially for RCA, the originals are actually almost as cheap as those reissues, only a bit scarcer... and since space is an issue here...

That Kenton Presents series is nice... somehow, I don't like what Affinity did with the covers, so I am trying to find the originals... which takes a bit longer... but when I find one - like last week in Utrecht the Cooper album - I am always happy

Nice! I am very happy I found a copy a few years back... a colleague from work was kind enough to send me a text message "there are people selling LPs on market square", some travelling vinyl circus had come to our small town that evening... and by chance, I happened to be in the neighborhood, walked by and found the Myers LP... now playing:

Can't see your picture...
