i really like Minimal Brass, as described above, it's just layers of overdubbed trumpets and thus hard to compare to pretty much anything but i play it quite often, here's a track

thanks for that link (didn't even know there was an Art Farmer/Wayne Shorter edition of Horace Silver's Quintet (1957))

iirc it stands for "Modern Jazz Two +3" meaning that in addition to the two leaders, Perkins and Cranshaw, the "Modern Jazz Two", there were three additional musicians

which is weird because i always thought amazon.com shipped internationally...

there's a lot of fluctuation in what's available apparently (a year ago i ordered the raymond boni solo album and ted curson's pop wine - both of which are gone by now as is, e.g., that philly joe jones octet album - on the other hand, i am certain i'd have ordered the reece then if it had been available... (got it now and it's great)

if you google a bit you'll find that zieff took his chamber jazz ensemble to a concert in a vienna only a few years ago (2008?), there's also a nice piece on zieff by chambers here: http://langtech.dickinson.edu/Sirena/Issue2/Chambers.pdf @colinmce: for much more info on ortega, including the sixties and seventies, see the much longer interview clifford linked to above

have also happily ordered directly from the label before; actually, prices have been lowered recently for a lot of stuff including all the futura reissues (11 Euro for a single cd including international shipping...)

the red mitchell recording was a private recording which was made available here, just click on "The Art Of Vocalese – Playlist"

thanks so much to the three of you, then the first session is clear... for the Triglia-arranged session, the jazz-archeology entry gives the label als Progressive (unissued at the time; and if the date is right and if Rudy van Gelder was indeed the engineer on that one as it says in Fitzgerald's discography, it was a remarkably early van Gelder session I guess, February 1952)

i am just writing a small text about fruscella and stumbled upon the following question (again?): fruscella lead four studio sessions (the quintet with chick maures, the band with herb geller and phil urso, the two atlantic sessions) - is it really true that - except for the atlantic album that was released - we don't know how these recordings made their way from the studio to the companies who released them (respectively, Spotlite, Xanadu and Freshsound); I can imagine what happened in the case of the Fresh Sound/Atlantic album, but does anybody have a clue about the sessions which first appeared on the Spotlite LP "Debut" (Fitzgerald's discography gives the label who recorded it as "Century" - never heard of that, he doesn't list an issue earlier than Spotlite) and on the Xanadu compilation "Bebop Revisited Vol 3" (Fitzgerald says RVG and private recording, no prior issues) does anybody know anything about who recorded those sessions etc or can look at those LPs and see whether they specify the origins of the recordings? thank you!

i really like that winding session

there's the family album on ESP-Disk which is in the first place weird but it's easy to get on cd and has its moments... then there are four cds by sean, an album called "sean levitt quartet" which was released and recorded in the nineties with a spanish rhythm section and a four cd box from shortly after his death which contains this album and three more which were previously unreleased, (1) a collection of trio recordings from the 80s with ze eduardo and jorge rossy among others (2) a trio with John Betsch and Gilles Naturel from 2002 (3) a co-led album by sean and stella with Naturel/Betsch plus Alain Jean Marie also from 2002 (this is where the version of When Sunny Gets Blue comes from) the two items are listed here as #9 and #32 (and as i said, 9 is contained in 32) http://www.tallerdemusics.com/management-y-producciones/sello-discografico/ but the site where i ordered them does not seem to exist anymore... i think this is an excellent box well worth seeking out... otherwise, (legal) mp3s are fairly easy to find (for instance, if www.deezer.com still works in belgium you can listen to them there)

discovered the family (especially the four albums bei sean) about a year ago... still missing stella's own albums ... also think she's wonderful

happy birthday!!

there is a brief oral history by ferrara in Fifties Jazz Talk by Gordon Jack, see here

something similar happened to the don joseph discography which went to like 50% (6 out of 11 sessions) a few months ago; asked michael fitzgerald about it who said he would fix it but apparently hasn't gotten around to doing so...

here are some remembrances of Don Joseph by trumpeter Mike Morreale who could certainly tell more (there are also clips of the two on youtube...) http://www.library.csi.cuny.edu/siloh/featured/michael-morreale/ contact info http://www.csi.cuny.edu/faculty/MORREALE_MICHAEL.html

according to google, he is a drum instructor at Howard Community College and still plays more or less regularly in the Wahsington DC area

as ubu says, no pages so far, here is the link to the first release which isn't in there yet (so possibly the link to the next boxed set - or the next release otherwise) http://www.camjazz.com/site/index.php?site=&path=cd&idcd=1722 (and then 1723, 1724...)

i found it disturbing, too... although i would think the rules of blogging mean that the blogger has full control over content so i would guess it's in line with netiquette, but reveals a lot about the blogger in question who is the solely responsible jerk here

Why is it surprising that popular searches include young, attractive females? Jennifer Aniston is 42 and Osama Bin Laden is dead

after reading this forum thread (tell me if you need anything translated) http://forum.rollingstone.de/showthread.php?t=32598&page=3 (and guessing that shops which still maintain their websites still exist) i have come up with these two shops: http://www.plattfon.ch/ http://www.ohrwurm-oase.ch/ and possibly "Atlantis Records" at Elisabethenstrasse 41 (not anymore at Klosterberg 9)

i really like Rassinfosse/Baker/Catherine on Igloo, more here, which was recently reissued as Crystal Bells but haven't heard any of the steeplechases so far...

you can hear a minute here http://vimeo.com/groups/jazzman/videos/31148140 and then there's also "Moshi Too"?! http://vimeo.com/groups/jazzman/videos/29044593

I thought English was the forum's language, not German. Not everyone here speaks or reads German. Können Sie Deutschen nicht lesen? I do read and speak German (ich lese und spreche Deutsch), but not everyone here does and English is the forum's language; I think everyone should post in English, if only as a courtesy to others. imho, if you really have something exciting to share than every language is fine - in this particular case, the poster was telling a story (evans using the rest of his contract with impulse to push two admired artists) which is widely available everywhere - in such a case imho if you don't speak english well then just post a link... otherwise i'm with larry, there are quite a few posts about carisi around here and he doesn't deserve to be put down (meaning: saying you don't like the music of his you've heard is one thing, but saying "he played on Birth of the Cool" in a way that suggests that you played on "Kind of Blue" and consider it superior.... ;-) )
