Taking into account that Jimmy Smith is a fairly common name and comparing the session with what else drummer Jimmie Smith was doing around 1977, I'd consider it rather unlikely: - he was mostly playing mainstream jazz around the time (Milt Jackson, Illinois Jacquet, Phineas Newborn, and he seemed busy doing that - on pretty much any album he appeared on, there are some other famous jazz names, but not here - percussion + lead vocals (while someone else is drumming) would be an usual credit for him https://www.discogs.com/artist/272679-Jimmie-Smith?filter_anv=0&type=Credits&page=1 Here's a photograph (from much later) which you may compare to the cover of A Perfect Circle

if it makes you feel any better: I only have one big box and 6 or 7 Selects... not missing much but I also think I'll get the Benedetti box rather sooner than later... and with 2000+ "vintage" jazz cds I really don't feel like the end of Mosaic is my fault (born in the eighties)

for the Dutch broadcast from the new cd, apparently both audio and video were erased at the TV station. the CD is based on a private audio tape (but there are some stills from the TV show in the booklet) - so this definitely was filmed but the chances that the video has survived are slim... for the Dutch broadcast from the new cd, apparently both audio and video were erased at the TV station. the CD is based on a private audio tape (but there are some stills from the TV show in the booklet) - so this definitely was filmed but the chances that the video has survived are slim...

If you think downloads are the future or downfall of anything, yes, you can talk about Mosaic's woes, but no, you're not going to be terribly helpful (me neither)

well, that direction was relevant: sorry: we are not the Mosaic support club. We have every right in the world to discuss what went wrong with Mosaic. To your credit, you couldn't know how permanent deletions are nowadays (clearly a shortcoming of the software we're paying for). I actually found Allen's last post very relevant - Mosaic never had much respect for the original physical product. Original album covers? Listening to albums without switching CDs in the middle of side 1 of the original album? Yes, the liner notes were great, but the Francis Wolff photographs I've mostly seen elsewhere already. Not much of an issue to those who grew up on 78s (no liner notes, no covers, no trouble), but it does take some getting used to for the album generations (*45 - *90, the end's in sight) I'd argue that even the importance of good (but not great) liner notes has gone down a lot in recent years as you can google biographies and line-ups... I'm still buying records but I wouldn't want to live without spotify. For the monthly price of less than an album, I have access to, e.g., the entire Steeplechase catalogue. When I'm travelling and feel like listening to something new, that's no issue. (And I hate carrying my CDs or organizing music files.) spotify and competitors provide access to a collection of music that easily beats any record store or private collection in the world. It's not permanent, stuff is coming and going (mostly stuff that nobody ever earned money with btw) but at any point in time there's more at your disposal than you ever wanted.

while you're still here... I think I understood and share soulpope's question: Compared to the original release, what/how much additional material will there be on the Joe Daley set? (approximately, and, of course, only once you get around to it...)

I also found this misleading but if you read carefully... "This 1963 duet recording with guitarist Dell Staton was one of only 2 albums Phillips made in the almost 20 years period after JATP. " this refers to 1957 to 1977 so that it seems to be at least more or less correct.

re Cinderella: He released another album in 2002, see here which was apparently never really easy to get hold off, (reading my old posts it apparently had Gers Yowell on sax and Doug Yowell on Drums), by now, all or most of it made it to youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/numdud/videos?view=0&sort=dd&shelf_id=0 (discogs also suggests that he played on quite a few albums as a studio guitarist)

a 13 year old thread... the LOC has a copyright claim by W. Milton (Milt) Jackson for a tune with that title from 1957... but, of course, that doesn't prove that this is what they recorded... (link)

@BigBeatSteve: isn't that what the series of the Fremeaux sets does?

here is a more direct link (and that was the site)

there's apparently one more session of a similar band including Brigham, tracks 17-20 on the Crown Prince Waterford Classics CD (available on Spotify) 1949.06.04 -- US: California: Los Angeles - recordings for King - (Charles) Crown Prince Waterford, Harold Land All-Stars (Dave Froebel Brigham, William Doty, Harold Land, John L. Jackson, Stanley Joyce, Leon Pettis)

Universal and Capitol/Emi are the same by now, right?

once again with more time...

Here's a copy of the McFarland discography from the wayback machine: https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20110504165837/http://www.dougpayne.com:80/gmdisco.htm#atbanddtss combining the links here http://www.jazzdiscography.com/fitzgera/links.htm with the wayback machine, one can probably come up with more (but I didn't manage to get the Szabo discography, for instance)... looking at that list of links, it's sad how many of these pages are now gone...

until a few weeks ago, you could have ordered it directly from the label at a more than reasonable price (10 Euro incl shipping)... but with Terrones gone, I somewhat doubt that this is still possible (even though the webpage does not indicate anything...) At least, you can listen to a sample track there... http://futuramarge.free.fr/

that's apparently the version from the 1956 Vogue Sessions http://attictoys.com/lucky-thompson-discography-1951-1956/

here are a few links regarding Rotterdam. This is not an explicit program so there is always the chance that nobody noticed Burrell and Green - but I am tempted to conclude that only Kessel was present (as part of the allstars) for this concert http://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?cql%5B%5D=%28date+_gte_+%2201-01-1969%22%29&cql%5B%5D=%28date+_lte_+%2231-12-1969%22%29&query=%28barney+kessel%29&coll=ddd&identifier=ddd%3A010957039%3Ampeg21%3Aa0038&resultsidentifier=ddd%3A010957039%3Ampeg21%3Aa0038 http://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?cql%5B%5D=%28date+_gte_+%2201-01-1969%22%29&cql%5B%5D=%28date+_lte_+%2231-12-1969%22%29&query=%28barney+kessel%29&coll=ddd&identifier=ddd%3A011238461%3Ampeg21%3Aa0181&resultsidentifier=ddd%3A011238461%3Ampeg21%3Aa0181 http://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?cql%5B%5D=%28date+_gte_+%2201-01-1969%22%29&cql%5B%5D=%28date+_lte_+%2231-12-1969%22%29&query=%28newport+in+rotterdam%29&coll=ddd&identifier=ddd%3A010957055%3Ampeg21%3Aa0220&resultsidentifier=ddd%3A010957055%3Ampeg21%3Aa0220 in April btw, the announcement had been Tal Farlow and Barney Kessel http://www.delpher.nl/nl/kranten/view?cql%5B%5D=%28date+_gte_+%2201-01-1969%22%29&cql%5B%5D=%28date+_lte_+%2231-12-1969%22%29&query=%28tal+farlow%29&coll=ddd&identifier=ddd%3A011238271%3Ampeg21%3Aa0178&resultsidentifier=ddd%3A011238271%3Ampeg21%3Aa0178

I have no clou in any narrow sense of the word, but given that we are talking about a double LP. and that there's a second soundtrack album by Duke Jordan (no less) used in the film, the film would take forever if it used all the Monk music - and the vast majority of films are too long but they don't take forever

I just remembered that there exists an excellent online discography of Bennett: http://jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Bennett/index.php It's a bit outdated (2011) but certainly better than going by the information on Spotify and iTunes

The Beatles are not easy at all btw... the question whether Magical Mystery Tour is an album or a double EP that was later reissued in corrupted form is arguably the most contested question in discography (see e.g. an extremely long thread on the Hoffman forum)

ina.fr is actually as easy to use as youtube or google (there's a search window at the top, you put in a name, press enter... some videos (beige symbol) are behind a paywall but you can see the beginning... for instance, a search for Art Blakey may lead you here http://www.ina.fr/video/I09286002/art-blakey-et-les-jazz-messengers-whisper-not-video.html at the top you can switch between audio and video (when both are available)... a search for grant green just leads to some strange item which has 21 seconds, doesn't play on my computer and says Stan Getz on the frontpage - so it's probably not essential...

:-) one very simple reason for his earlier works being more popular in Germany than the later ones is that the lyrics are in German rather than in English (and they're good)... we did sing Mack the Knife in school with some regularity (which means the composer clearly isn't forgotten), but when we sang stuff in English (which didn't happen often), it usually was Lennon/McCartney rather than Weill. So I would say: The later works are comparatively low profile in Germany, but this is partly due the fact that the early works are high profile. I'd be surprised if September Song was as well-known to the general US population as Mack the Knife is to the German one (today).

just to answer Big Beat Steve's question: The Hank de Mano album in question is not the one you posted but rather this one, The album you linked to (from 1963) was just reissued on a Fresh Sound twofer with another de Mano (or deMano) album from 1966.

And a follow-up question... would anybody know whether one of the trumpeters in the third picture is Cal Massey?
