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

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!

it most certainly is very nice - and if all he remembers about this episode is that you were trying to do something nice it might well be what really matters once he is 25 or so... that said, it looks like you are overwhelming him... my father (who knew next to nothing about jazz) decided it was part of my calling when I was 13. he got me a Benny Goodman compilation, a few months later a book about jazz (Behrendt) and a few months later a Duke Ellington compilation - I worked out the rest for myself and i don't think any more nudging would have helped at all. he did sometimes listen with me though (all i remember is he disliked the Earl Coleman tracks in the Charlie Parker Dial Sessions, and he really liked Goodman's Sing Sing Sing and Roland Kirk... in some ways, he was the most typical beginning jazz listener you could imagine)

didn't try spotify but on simfy (which has a similar selection) you can hear the Buster Bennett and Tom Archia sessions as well as most of those Doo-Wop Sessions... copies of the Archia and Bennett Classics CDs are not hard to find (both are fine collections although there isn't much Willie Jones in either), and then there's of course the Clark Terry album without Gonsalves from a few days earlier: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B000024AA9/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used (twofer with both)

those precious four days when you're younger than me are over once more ;-) happy birthday!

thank you all!

i like most of what i've heard, Stockholm Dues, Notes from Underground, Lars Werner's Bombastica (there's a great Dragon CD with iirc additional material), the recordings with Komeda... a great album/collections of tapes that's easy to miss is trumpeter Lalle Svensson's I Should Care which has a group led by Rosengren on all tracks except the first one, this should also be available on spotify...

also got the freshsound cd... tell vinnie he's not forgotten, fine album ;-) not that i've known him long compared to his age

"But if forced to select my one favorite on Blue Note, it would be Kenny Dorham. " same here
