I got the other five releases from the 80th birthday celebration at TUM but am still resisting here... and I do have to say that the first box I got, the one with Laswell and Graves, is still my favorite by far, followed by the Chicago Symphonies... the remainder is also fine, but it's a lot of cds even without the string quartet box

I think it's great but i just know it from youtube

I've been wondering about George Wright before, just a handful of credits, usually involving paintings... somebody's artist friend? My initial hunch before looking at credits had been Andy Warhol for the birds cover...

that guess got me curious... no, it's Chet Baker playing Sad Walk with Dick Twardzik...

I don't hear much of a difference between Susto and One Way Traveller, neither quality- nor style-wise... I'd say they're good but not great... If you were always sad that Susto isn't a double LP, you definitely need One Way Traveller... Otherwise I am less sure

Roger Hamilton Spotts did all the arranging for Al Grey's Shades of Grey which is a great album imho

Yes, Berlin is huge so it's always walking, walking, walking.... I don't like the city... But, of course, i still would have wished you a better time and better score.... Re the initial question, the memory that came to mind immediately was walking into a store in Rennes, France, that felt totally out of place... Turned out, the majority of the stock was the contents of a Chicago record store the owner had bought in full, loads of Argo, Cadet, Ammons etc

Looks like Mine to me around 2:30...

pretty sure that's another Joe Kelly (younger, white, Chicago-based...even though that album with Johnny Board on tenor has been on my radar for a while). This Joe Kelly aka Joe "Red" Kelly played with Gerald Wilson's band in the mid 40s. The latest credit I can find quickly is this Peppy Prince album from 1958 (Horace Tapscott's earliest credit iirc). Peter Vacher's Central Avenue book has some memories of Kelly from John "Streamline" Ewing: Red Kelly from Peru, Indiana, was another very good trumpet player in the [Gene Coy] band . He had a style but he never did record anything, but he was different from any trumpet player I ever heard. He could play lead and could also solo. [..] He finally would up in the Post Office. [...] I think he still gigs around town, sometimes with Spanish bands.[..]

from the Philadelphia Inquirer, 23 October 1983... The continuation on page 24 is very brief: like you used to?" He smiled warmly. "It will probably happen." Then he pointed toward the sky and looked up. "If He let's me"

I want the Jimmie Lunceford...

Lester Young, apparently this is the source: https://www.thelastmiles.com/interviews-lenny-white/ Lenny White apparently felt like he grew up in Lester Young's neighborhood and for the first few years he really did... and possibly he passed that spirit on...

haven't been in Berlin in a while but remembered that someone asked that same question on another board recently, here (the posts from February 2022)

this one, "Now's the time" indeed

Subconsciously by Gary Foster, also on Revelation, has three more duo tracks with Budimir, but with Foster on flute and tenor, plus an as/g duet with Larry Koonse

just realized that these sessions are described in the Dark Tree book (p. 236), apparently it was a planned album that wasn't released at the time, 68 minutes of music extracted from two nights of live recording with tracks including Ballad of Deadwood Dick, Motherless Child, Little Africa, Breakfast at Bongo's and Close to Freedom [of which the first three tracks make up 37 minutes of the CD in the book]... so if they stick to the album as originally planned (but not released because no label could be found) there will be 30 minutes of additional music... Intriguingly, the same paragraph also describes a sister album recorded a bit later in the studio where the band is augmented to an octet featuring Bobby Bradford... wouldn't be shocked if that is next on the list...

thanks for the heads-up! 37 minutes of that music are already in the CD for the Dark Tree book, curious how much / what they will add

thanks!

Indeed, most of her more recent discography is with Santana... she's on a 2014 Rodney Kendrick album that might qualify as "the genre of music you know"

thank to you all for your stories! just a side note, I recently read Low Life, the autobiography of pianist turned boxing promotor Charles Farrell (link), at some point, it becomes a book about boxing but the first 90 pages or so have plenty of stories that sound like sgcim's post above (and even later in the book, when the music is gone, the mob stories continue)

I never really understood the appeal of these classical music mega boxsets where you get 50-100 CDs with minimal information, no album covers, just the music and a thin booklet (compared to the amount of music), the added value over streaming seems seems minimal - if it even exists... I guess there's a market because classical music lovers are one of the last demographics who listen to nothing but CDs...

for the second one, they made a number of production decisions that made a lot of sense (to me at least): limit most of the singing to professionals (including Jeanne Lee) rather than have Bob Moses or Jack deJohnette sing on most tracks, add a guitar, and find ways to integrate Harold Vick, a talented man, better into the band...

that's a change in direction, from Compost to Wild Bill... played those two Compost albums recently and thought that the second one was quite a bit more successful...

I could imagine that you and Mr Miyazawa had two interests in common then...

It's been a while but I read most of Roth's ficition and quite a bit of the non-fiction at some point... I liked the Emperor's Tomb a lot actually, other favorites were Flight without End (best of the early work, can also be read as an indirect sequel to Radetzky March even though the family is named Tunda there and not Trotta) and Weights and Measures (my favorite among his Eastern Jewish themed work, I like it better than Job for instance)
