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)

Actually, it's a fairly common name for German women born around 1970 (here's a chart which shows it's rank among the most popular female names, it made the top 20 from 1964 to 1975), it's pronounced Sill-ke where the "ke" is pronounced a bit like the first syllable of "kernel"

it's a sequence of clips and jsngry meant the one starting around 1:13:00. If OP's rhythm section is indeed Sam Jones / Louis Hayes as indicated, that would make it 66/67...

confused me, too... but the album cover is with us...

another old Newspaper article about an early (1952) arrest of Hadley Caliman (Heroin jails daughter of police man, link)

:-) just got home and looked through the Anderza chapter in the SQJB book - most of what I found (except for the childhood girlfriends) is in there. Briancon talked to some of Anderza's family, to his friend Ron Clark (who founded a drug rehabilitation program (Rap Inc))... he also had access to a long interview with Bobby Bradford (from Steven Isoardi's files), Bradford knew Anderza in the early 50s... Briancon's specialty are, of course, all the details from the legal files... my French really isn't good enough to get all the details but apparently Anderza was behind bars for most of 1960-1975, then went through Clark's program (in Washington, where he also jammed with Rollins at Howard University), and taught at Malcolm X College in Chicago in his final years

In 1952, Earl Anderza married Leonabelle Huven. They had a son Thomas Earl Anderza (*1954), a daughter Erlinda Anderza (*1955), a daughter Sheri D Anderza in 1965, possibly also a son named earl born in 1960. The marriage ended in divorce in 1967. Peter Anderza had married Earl's mother Helen B. Langford in 1931, spelling his name "Andarza" on that occasion. On the marriage license he gives his job is listed as "printer". He is divorced. (Possibly, the first marriage was to one Geneva Wright in 1925. And possibly, he was the Peter Anderza who is listed as a married inmate on the 1930 census). It's amazing how much you can "find by Googling"...

Small progress, columnist Barbara "Bobbie" Jean Anderza (*(8/8/1932) was the older sister of Peter Earl Anderza - so I guess they really lived at that address (their parents were Peter and Helen Anderza, the third daughter was Leona June Anderza --- I guess this is all information that's also in the SQJB book). Peter Anderza had been a columnist for the California Eagle himself in the early 30s ("Ask me another", he answered trivia questions). He was shot in a "justfiable homicide" in 1936 at the age of 30 when trying to enter the home of one George Freer at 10621 Croesus Street. Apparently, Anderza was "under the influence of liquor" and most likely just tried to get home (ref). In the 1949 eagle there's also an ad from the younger "Peter Anderza" offering "SAXAPHONE lessons, beginners or advanced." Some further research could probably provide a complete list of all the girls Anderza went out with before ca 1952) another bit of information from the early days of the San Quentin Jazz Band: CA Eagle 11/4/1948 "Nat Meeks, popular young trumpet star, is organizing a small Be-Bop combo complete with bongo drums. Meeks, a local boy who plays terrific trumpet, has Clyde Dunn, Eric Dolphy, Hadley Caliman, Morris Edwards, Joe Harrison, Johnny Lawson, and Leroy McCray lined up as personnel."
