hope you enjoy it! and i should have mentioned that on the label website the current price for this album (most albums) is 10 Euro including international shipping - which seems almost too cheap to me

Slightly off topic, Simmons' Mixolydis which had been unavailable for a few years has been reissued (even with slightly improved artwork) by Futura/Marge... Heard it for the first two times yesterday and found that it exceeded my expectations... it's almost a classical Hard Bop album and Simmons fits in nicely (the rest of the band is Eddie Henderson, John Hicks, Curtis Lundy, Victor Lewis) http://futuramarge.free.fr/

"[update: Apparently not white, sorry Mr. Herbert!] " guess he read this thread but wasn't really interested... (my first reaction to this correction was "herbert died before I was born so it sounds a bit disrespectful", but my english isn't good enough for this type of judgement after all)

Ortega is the featured soloist on Sunset Eyes and that appears to be his only solo. Most solos are by Castro and Edwards, followed by Bob Cooper... on the Edwards Tentett album, there are also several Freddie Hill solos amazingly, they list soloists for all tunes where one might wonder (ie for the Zoot Sims/Lucky Thompson disc, the Big Band and the Teddy Edwards Tentett album): http://www.joecastrojazz.com/discography if the rightmost column is empty, it's not included in the set, second colum from right is soloists. For the big band album, this info is also here http://sunnysidezone.com/album/joe-castro-lush-life-a-musical-journey

it's not a complete Castro discography actually (which would include his two Atlantic albums, as well as his album called "Lush Life" which appeared on Clover records but does not seem to have any overlap with this release) but rather a complete listing of the sessions related to this box - making clear what was left off, and what appeared earlier on Metrojazz and the Sims CD (ie making clear there is no overlap with the latter two releases - everything appears to be new except for two tracks from the Big Band album which appeared as a promo single at the time)

Same here!

just in case: while many of the threads here are RIP threads, this one isn't...

Concerning "John Pierce", he's slightly less obscure under the other (probably correct) spelling "John Peirce"... at least, there is a memorial album which is reviewed here http://www.cadencejazzmagazine.com/membersonly/admin/assets/CadenceOctober2013double.pdf there's also an informative review here: http://www.amazon.com/Memorial-Album-John-Peirce/dp/B00HAWAT98

tried to google John Pierce earlier today and didn't get far, but apparently there's a prominent clarinet mouthpiece bearing his name, the best clarinet mouthpiece for playing Dixieland some argue - so that appears to check...

Steve Griggs (see above) has posted a directory of the Joe Brazil Tape Collection on his Joe Brazil blog last year... one tape (not included in the list) was discussed in this previous thread ... would be nice if the rest became available and sounded better... http://joebrazilproject.blogspot.de/2014/05/joe-brazil-audio-tapes-from-detroit.html

Have you been to that area again? I have travelled that part of Germany (Weimar, Jena, Erfurt, Eisenach...) quite a bit recently and it's amazing how prosperous and posh it has become, even compared to 2001, and most certainly compared to the 1980s... (the big thing there at the moment is Sushi, a relatively recent invention in these parts, with several restaurants in each city)

RIP recently I have listened a lot to the above album from 2003, the Robert Jeanne Quartet with Michel Herr, Felix Simtaine and Warland...

thanks! that article number 4014704020109 is also found on the official German distributor's webpage, in the entry for the original box, suggesting though, of course, not proving that this is the genuine article...

yes, we're not allowed to post links to possible bootlegs here, even if they're on amazon... but: with the information you provide it takes significant effort to figure out which reissues you are talking about - this degree of discretion is not necessary afaik. It would help if you provide the names of two or three albums included in this series, and/or the name of the label...

here's the list of future reissues mentioned in the trailer (17 more, so a total of 23, including 2 double cds) Kenny Barron - At the Piano Teddy Edwards - Feelin's Joe Farrell - Skateboard Park Ronnie Cuber - Cubre Libre Al Cohn / Dexter Gordon - True Blue & Silver Blue (2CD) Dolo Coker - California Hard Kenny Drew - Home is where the Soul is Charles McPherson - Beautiful Frank Butler - The Stepper Bob Berg - New Birth Sonny Criss - Saturday Morning Teddy Edwards - The Inimitable Teddy Edwards Sam Jones - Changes & Things Cecil Payne & Duke Jordan - Brooklyn Brothers Barry Harris - Live in Tokyo Charles McPherson - Live in Tokyo Jimmy Raney - Live in Tokyo

Revelation's John William Hardy also wrote the liner notes for the three original Carmell Jones Pacific Jazz albums in the Mosaic Select, revealing himself as an early associate/fan of Jones' from back in Kansas

Thank you!!

let me give back some of the appreciation. I started reading jazz forums in 8th grade and I am fairly certain that this is where I learned reading and, later, writing in English (plus: I had an excellent teacher in 7th grade, she does deserve credit). In my job, English is the language of what you have to say - mine could be much worse but it wouldn't hurt if it was better. Recently, a friend remarked that my English is much harsher than my German (slightly against the stereotype, btw) - might have to do with the fact that what I speak and write is the language of jazz discussion boards... be that as it may: Thank You!

Noal Cohen also has a (better) discography of Mover: http://www.attictoys.com/BobMover/Bob_Mover_discography.php

no, but it's widely available and very cheap... was surprised to see it in the top position - but apparently it has a 7% market share. OTOH I would not interpret this as 7% of German beer drinkers drinking Oettinger, but rather as Oettinger being the beer of choice for a small group whose per capita consumption is far above the average...

some more digging: Aye A. Aton was born as Robert H Underwood in Woodford Kentucky on 29 Jan 1940 . He moved to Baton Rouge at some point (probably before 1989) and (besides the visual arts stuff jsngry linked to above) was still playing there at least until 2010 http://www.jazzmississippi.com/aton.html KaT'etta is a background singer on at least one more album, Mighty Rhythm by the Mandingo Griot Society http://www.discogs.com/Mandingo-Griot-Society-Mighty-Rhythm/release/2828430 Apparently, she was living both in Oakland and Long Beach at some points in the 90s, and provided the alternative names Kateeta Sams, Katetta Aton Sams and Ka Tetta Sams She is mentioned on p. 1002 of this document https://archive.org/details/journalmayaugofproceed83sanfrich "Motion that the Board award Letters of Commendation to the following: Marcia Schubert (Supervisor Gonzalez) [...] K A T'etta Sams (Supervisor Ward)" which I tend to read as her being a city employee in San Francisco in August 1988 (but I don't really understand the whole document)

you might/should also have enjoyed "Wrong Movements", his book about Robert Wyatt... RIP

here the cover, tracklist etc http://www.catfish-records.jp/product/19079

I don't "know" anything but I guess it's the November 25, 1960 NDR jazz workshop session: http://www.attictoys.com/LuckyThompson/Lucky_Thompson_discography3.php the line-up would then be Lucky Thompson, Barney Wilen (ss, ts), Bengt Jaedig (ts), Helmut Brandt (bar), Larry Atwell (g), Roland Kovac (p), Jürgen Ehlers (b), Rudi Pronk (d) don't know the rhythm section at all, except Kovac a little, Solal/Trunk/Clarke or the like would have been better I suppose... but Jaedig and Brandt are both excellent...

if you leave the MS Office world anyway, you might contemplate switching from Windows to Ubuntu as well... (I did so involuntarily two years ago and will not go back - it's closer to classical Windows anyway)
