just tried to dig up some more, can't say that any of it is really interesting but since so little is known... (no guarantee that it's him, of course, but the city (LA) and age check with what we know (1933-1982), and the name should be fairly rare) From the "Pen Pal's Corner" of "The California Eagle" (12/15/49) comes a piece of 66 year old gossip: "The Saturday nite hoot owls spotted on the Pasadena speedway was after leaving the home of sweet, litle Miss Rebecca Wright, were Earl Anderza, who is said to be head over heels in love with her." Even older is this one: (9/29/1949): "What's this I hear about Earl Anderza escorting Leodloos Morney home Friday from Jeffs sports nite" Another September 1949 edition gives us his then current address (as a reference for prospective pen pals) 691 East 52nd Place, L.A. Calif. (he was 16 years old then) Interestingly, it says at the end of the list of people: "Please address all news and pen pals names to 691 East 52nd Place, L.A. Calif." so the whole thing was run either by him or a neighbor... (columns were written by one Barbara Jean) (that's what it looks like today) Slightly more interesting is that one of the other kids that frequently visited the same birthday parties was Roy Milton's son Roy Milton Jr. From a later edition of that newspaper, we even learn that "Earl Anderza and his Combo" had a gig at the Elbow Bend in early 1954, While I'm at it here's a 1962 photograph of Horace Tapscott at the piano...

imo you can find a lot by googling (including previous discussion here)! There's the quartet album, the two tracks with Dupree Bolton which you find most easily on the Bolton Uptown CD (alternatively on the O. Matthews Select)... he was an early (high school) associate of Horace Tapscott and is mentioned in passing in Isoardi's books; there's chapter on Anderza in the San Quentin Jazz band book which I guess is as comprehensive as it gets in Anderza's case... IIRC the most noteworthy additional thing in there was that he resurfaced very briefly at some point in the 70s, don't have the book here but it was a story like "he jammed with Sonny Rollins in Chicago in 1976"

"he never played amplified again" this clearly contradicts what i have read (and hear)... here is a discography of his final years which differentiates between electric and acoustic guitars and claims that the 1950 Rome broadcasts and all recordings from 1952/53 are on electric guitar

If this is her, you can easily find a bit more: http://blog.al.com/breaking/2014/04/lynx_quicksilver_life_story.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis_%28horn-rock_band%29 There are also recordings of this (Mary) Lynn Sheffield under her later name Lynx Quicksilver, e.g. this one: but they are, well, much late

Thank you!! that link didn't work for me, this one does...

IIRC Fantasy never reissued Contemporary or HiFiJazz albums inthe Acid Jazz series, only Prestige dates. But I agree they slept on this one. there's at least the Sonny Stitt Jazzland album with Patterson and Weeden...

Here, why not take this test and post the results: http://www.free-test-online.com/middle/8th_grade_algebra1.htm 10/10 so I did better than the 26/30... given that I could hardly read English in 8th grade I probably improved in both (while my latin has almost vanished)... the algebra test looks fairly reasonable to me while the history was just a bunch of facts most of which nobody needs to know

there's also a rather unusual spelling of Bora Rokovic on the cover of the first LP (plus: it should, of course be "schlägt" and "Walzer"), if you read the original liner notes, #50 here , the impression of cluelessness and bad editing is confirmed...

definitely the same person, a bit of googling (eg this biography) suggests that "Carl Drewo" is the most common spelling, followed by "Karl Drewo" while "Carl Drevo" is rarer... (how he managed to achieve multiple spellings of his name I couldn't find out)

Choices were Jamestown, Queen Anne, Charleston, Plymouth, three of which looked reasonable to me - but if you know a little more about the US than I do, you can, of course, exclude more... (a little googling made Queen Anne more reasonable than I thought btw) what I found most irritating as an exchange student in the US was that exams in history and related subjects really took the form of these quizzes instead of essays and the like... (in particular, you can perform extremely well with a little effort and common sense but without really "getting a feeling" for the topic)

according to the discography I linked to above, it was arranged by Willie "Face" Smith who also arranged and composed parts of Joe Lovano's 52nd Street Themes albums, see also here: http://www.cleveland.com/obituaries/index.ssf/2009/12/willie_smith_played_composed_a.html

here's the Webster radio show by our own Ghost of Miles, http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/the-man-before-miles-freddie-webster/ and here is a more detailed list: http://www.jazzdocumentation.ch/mario/frwe.pdf

I know what you mean and agree... nevertheless, there's a nice contrast between the image of DeArango conveyed by your post and the 1973 trio live date which can be streamed on the page medjuck liked to... here is another discography btw which looks better on first sight: https://www.staff.uni-giessen.de/~g51092/DeArango.html

This one's for me: 11/04 Lokal Harmonie, Harmoniestr. 41, Ruhrort, 47119 Duisburg, (DE)

A requiem from wired, never owned one amd can't really connect with all the sadness, but the text is pretty good...

just like any other board, it's not quite as active as it used to be, but it has been my "main forum" in recent years, not the deep jazz knowledge you have here, but still excellent discussions, and the politics section, discussion of record stores... and similar stuff are - obviously - closer to home...

it's not much, but, from Ira Gitlers liner notes for Babs Gonzalez - Weird Lullaby "The first New York session is notable as Sonny Rollins' recording debut. The rest of the line-up is Jordan Fordin on alto, but only in the ensemble (Fordin, another Newarker, played organ on some Joe Holiday Prestige sessions in the early '50s)" (typed and posted by ubu on another board)

buying a mobile phone without using its phoning capabilities?

Thank you! there is also a brief clip of Netz in Antibes 1961 at the INA website

According to Trovesi's homepage, Cinque ... and Baghet are early (ca 1980) Trovesi albums on Dischi della Quercia (not Soul Note), Electric Five and Missa are Sideman appearances on BSSN (with Enrico Rava and Alfredo Impulliti), the last one (Nivola) is a more recent (2002) sideman appearance with Marco Remondini

One more single can be heard here: https://crownpropeller.wordpress.com/2012/12/20/grant-green-with-sam-lazar-and-more-on-cawthron/

apparently, some "modern" recordings of Gazzeloni are on the first three discs of Vol 1 here: http://www.musicweb-international.com/classrev/2006/Dec06/Boulez_Domaine_4769209_4768862.htm

this is the track list from google translate/here: 1. The hot source 2. Bermuda Clay House 3. Dem Dirty D'Ewes 4. Country Girl 5. Naisuti 6. Blue John 7. Jean de Fleur (bonus track) 8. Chunky Cheeks (bonus track) 9. I Need You So (bonus track) 10. Kinda Slick (bonus track) 11. Untitled Patton tune (bonus track)

I remember the lines more than the instrumentation. One instrument is playing the melody, and a second melodic instrument is doing an 8th-note counter-melody with descending lines and baroque ornamentation. Drums and bass are fairly minimal IIRC, until the solos kick in. In my mind, I can hear Milt Jackson and John Lewis, but I can also hear Paul Desmond and Gerry Mulligan. Sorry to be so vague... how about the Desmond/Mulligan version from Two of a Mind?
