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.... ;-) )

just a bunch of pictures...

even more belated: happy birthday!

consistent with the info paul linked to (ie if he was CHarles Freeman Lee born on 13 AUgust 1927) we have LEE, CHARLES F 13 Aug 1927 16 Jun 1997 according to his social security death index entry (last address in ohio again) in fact, creepy as it is that information is so widely available: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=42544650

Larry was quoting Laurie Pepper (jazzwax comments)... those claims about not being involved with Lonehill etc are somewhat thin anyway because Pujol is one of their main distributors it seems...

neither do i have any exclusive recordings of any value nor do i have any sort of agenda in the music business whatsoever... but once more - whenever you see an orginal cover or cover photograph on a fresh sound cd (as in the case of the recent lenny mcbrowne reissue for instance) you can be almost certain that the overall product is NOT in compliance with spanish copyright law. why we are talking about freshsound and not about proper i don't really know (in fact i have a handfull of fresh sound reissues but nothing from proper) but we can't talk about everything at the same time...

same here, in the meantime there are also some clips of Redd with the same frontline on youtube, e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV-wYwMFkqk more Redd on the smalls live site (and an abundance of Clemons whose work i like a lot)

"And let's not forget that if it weren't for Pujol and Fresh Sound, we'd never know how most of the jazz albums recorded in the 1950s sound." there's no arguing that this statement is totally wrong (OJCs, the BN series, ... even if they're out of print now - as is a good deal of the fresh sound catalog btw..., the blogs... other reissue labels (especially if you follow Pujols claim that only Fresh Sound is his label)); and if you look around you also find "inside" people complaining (like David Weiss in the other tread or Laurie Pepper calling Pujol a liar in the comments to the interview) all in all (masterings, artwork, pictures, liner notes) i would vaguely guess that about 50% of what Fresh Sound issues violates (Spanish/EU) copyright in one way or another...
