in case someone else is interested, Robert Stewart has most of his albums for free download on his webpage: http://www.therobertstewartexperience.com/discography.html

generally, the best place for finding Nimbus West releases is at the source: http://www.nimbuswest.com/files/html/CDs.htm if the Morgan album works for you, there's more there...

second the recommendation of the Nate Morgan Album, it's a bit like a smaller-scale, 80s, A Love Supreme

if you pledge more than 25$ you receive "a signed copy of 'TWO' a duo recording with Jemeel Moondoc and Connie Crothers" which seems like a highly unlikely combination on paper

according to wikipedia, Galeta left SA in 1961, recording with Bobby Hutcherson and Woody Shaw in 1973 - so most likely the answer is no

not a complete answer at all but apparently he is now called Kalim Zarif and can be seen here:

here's a discography (no leader albums apparently) http://www.jazzlists.com/ and here's a 1992 obit

Not entirely sure, but I think Disc 9, Track 1-3 is an example for a session which is not available elsewhere (which would mean "No" to Q1): Disc 9, 1-3: Don Senay (voc); Thad Jones, Louis Mucci (tp); unknown (brass); John LaPorta, Julius Baker (woodwinds); Billy Taylor (p); unknown (harp); Jackson Wiley (cello); unknown (strings); Milt Hinton, Fred Zimmerman [Charles Mingus?] (b); Joe Morello (d, perc) or unknown (perc); Alonzo Levister (arr) The Edge Of Love (2:48) (Baker/Ables/Goode) Makin' Whoopee (2:38) (Donaldson/Kahn) Fanny (3:01) (Rome) http://mingus.onttonen.info/details/fantasy/debut.html (upon first sight, this concerns Disc 9, 1-4, 4 is on the small Debut Records Story Box though, and the final track on Disc 12)

?

Mostly yes. I added a few albums others appreciate in areas I don't really know or like (VDMK for instance). Got to correct that: "What Country Is This" is my listing - tremendous album, I think! But I'm not well-versed in all things VDMK and even though "Simpatico" is the one VDMK 5 album I own, I relied on others there and in three or four other cases. i'd like to emphasize that "Behind the 8 Ball" was my nomination; on a more serious note, it's a great list, and they really should have included it in the printed edition

yes http://www.discogs.com/artist/Herbert+Morgan

Roughly, Zeuhl is to Magma what Canterbury Scene is to Soft Machine (or maybe rather: to Gong)... in particular, there are not terribly many bands besides Magma in that vein, ZAO would be one this guy's lists are a good starting point: http://rateyourmusic.com/list/siriuspooka

Happy birthday!

As was posted above, Two Oranges(L&R) is Lover Man (same version?) and together with Diagram it is found on the Fresh Sound CD as well - no clue about multiple takes...

I wouldn't get the Mosaic for the post-Columbia albums alone... there are some fine moments and all but they don't hold up to the earlier ones (or the Contemporary albums), and other albums from that time (Bemsha Swing, indeed, or In you own sweet way) are better

Did you search google books? (i.e. books.google.com) for things like "jimmy davis" composer "jimmy davis" pianist "jimmy davis" lyricist ? i did come across some information that way, e.g. link or link the second link is from Jet Magazine and mentions that he lived partly in Mallorca and Paris at the time and that he worked wit Maurice Chevalier...

what do you mean by "should be a different one?" I didn't listen carefully and I'm really not good at this type of thing but they did sound the same to me

Happy Birthday!

smoked from 17 to 32 so far with a two year break about in the middle

totally agree! yes every bit of regulation is easy to compare to stalinism or the hoffmann board (and yes, there is a parallel: rules, they exist pretty much everywhere).and those comparisons are almost always unfair. plus: if you've fought those wars overthere, you should be through after 15 years? the basic rule of this forum is that Jim Alfredson does not have to be ashamed to own it even though he need not share every opinion expressed here - sounds harmless and it is. Welcome!

saw him for the first time last november with archie shepp, yusef lateef, reggie johnson and hamid drake... never would have expected he'd be the first to go ... RIP

37:24 (your CD 3) + 36:25 (your Köln) gives 73:49 which is almost their 73:48 for CD3?

Happy Birthday!

overheard a wonderful 5 minute discussion last week between a post office clerk who advised a woman to put a return adress on her package and said woman who thought the clerk was just trying to get her address to stalk her...

Happy Birthday!
