  1. 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...
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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!

    Bob Mover

    Noal Cohen also has a (better) discography of Mover: http://www.attictoys.com/BobMover/Bob_Mover_discography.php
  6. 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...
  7. 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
  9. here the cover, tracklist etc http://www.catfish-records.jp/product/19079
  10. 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...
  11. 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)
  12. 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"
  13. 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...
  14. confused me, too... but the album cover is with us...

    Earl Anderza

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

    Earl Anderza

    :-) 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

    Earl Anderza

    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"...

    Earl Anderza

    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."

    Earl Anderza

    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...

    Earl Anderza

    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"
  21. "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
  22. 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
  23. Thank you!! that link didn't work for me, this one does...
  24. 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...
