  1. the Dulfer came out in the Dulfer box from iirc Dutch EMI
  2. favorites of those mentioned so far: (without having heard any of them) Billy Mitchell & Al Cohn - Live in Dakar Joe Chambers/Larry Young: Double Exposure Hadley Caliman - Iapetus Sonny Simmons - Rumasuma anything by Marion Brown
  3. no idea whether this works in your corner of the world, but overhere quite a few Brotzmann albums can be heard on www.deezer.com
  4. Félix Lemerle has continued his Ronnie Singer research, there are two photos now, the tape speed is corrected and it's all collected on this fine website: http://ronniesinger.blogspot.com/ I'm wondering: Can anyone identify anyone on the picture from the blow linked to below? (I guess Félix has already asked around, Jon Raney has seen it (see his blog for a bit more on Singer, link), so there isn't a big chance of anything but who knows...) link to picture
  5. Georges Arvanitas?
  6. and here's another hidden Allen Lowe album, at least he composed half the material and Joe Albany is on piano...
  7. then i ask one: did i get this right, that the mentioned players are only part of the (big band) line-up?
  8. that must be one of the worst amg reviews i've ever seen ("veterans and longtime fans have everything here assembled better in other places..." also does not seem like a valid description of the Sam Lazar LP...)
  9. the concert program, supports you guess.. Max Roach, John Lewis Ensemble: Don Cherry-tpt; Ornette Coleman-asx; Kent McGarity-tbn, btpt; Steve Kuhn, Ron Brown-p; Larry Ridley-b; Barry Greenspan-d The Sphinx (Ornette Coleman) Compassion (Ornette Coleman) Giggin' (Ornette Coleman) Inn Tune (Margo Guryan) I remember I once googled all these people I ddn't know from Lenox 59 and was surprised to see on Kent McGarity's page that his CV didn't list playing with Ornette and Cherry , instead: "Kent McGarity Trombone and Bass Trumpet Kent played and recorded with Woody Herman, Dick Johnson, the Artie Shaw Orchestra and Slam Stewart, Jack Maheu & Salt City Six, Muggzie Gutt & His Matriculators and Paul Squire & the Orange Peels. Recently an original composition was premiered at the Idyllwild Jazz Festival." http://www.desertcitiesjazzband.com/
  10. laugh at me, but i have only 5 from the first box and 4 from the second...
  11. thank you - so i mixed this up a little, the Ben Webster meets Bill Coleman has a British band while The Jeep is Jumping has the scandinavian band of Arnved Meyer, third album in this box is There is no greater love
  12. can have a look at it tonight, but from memory the Black Lion 3CD Box I own has only one album with Drew/NHOP/... called There is no Greater Love. The other two are a meeting with Bill COleman and something like an Ellington tribute with a British backing group...
  13. i find them worse actually, the recent JiP sets i got a bit used to, plus inside those cardboard things have the complete photographs on them with only little writing (iirc) so when they're open, those boxes don't look bad ...
  14. the Raney seems complete, will definitely buy it, just waiting until it becomes available here, too... too bad they look so ugly
  15. it's in German but this is a TV feature on female artists/inmates from the Prinzhorn Collection which I found pretty great part 3 don't know how much you can appreciate it without getting the words but imho there are some pretty amazing objects to see in there (and very "modern" for their time, i.e. mostly late 19th century)
  16. here's an obit for Banks, he also played on Jimmy Woods first Contemporary album so imho it's fair to say he was a classic WCJ artist...

    Joe Alexander

    he was mostly active in (Dameron's hometown) Cleveland and recorded a Riverside or Jazzland Album in the Cannonball Adderley Productions series - that's all i know...
  18. from my experience, few people fill their mp3-players with illegal downloads... what seems quite common though, is that people share their mp3s with friends - the good old tape idea, but of course more comfortable... and then i do know a sizeable proportion of people who listen to youtube 98% of the time... personally, i still buy cds and occasionally lps because i like to go to record stores (and i mostly buy used, not only because it's cheaper but also because the selection is less predictable), but most of my listening is from the streaming sites, even stuff that i own on cd i tend to hear there because i am too lazy to carry cds to my office every day...
  19. no, margaret was not really responding to anything, i mean, she's his wife (?) and thus the last person to be a fair judge in comparing Henry Grimes now and Henry Grimes in the 60s... it's her job not to be that...; put differently, imho you can't really blame her for not being objective or reasonable in this discussion (you can blame her for entering though... )
  20. "... personally what little I've heard of Grimes' playing seems interesting but strangely random at times; more the memory of a great bassist than great playing. A reasonable response to his current life..." and you can't blame his current life for taking that kinda personal... seems like margaret and allen disagree, nothing wrong with that...
  21. same here, but it's my only gold cd and i've always liked it :-)

    Mal Waldron

    without knowing anything specific about Waldron's: Music Minus One records are like those Aebersolod practice discs - you just have the rhythm section and can add melody and solos at home while the LP is playing... iirc some of these had someone like Jerome Richardson play these things on one side of the LP while the other side was rhythm only
  23. in this well-researched-looking DeArango discography i don't see anything that might fit the bill... http://www.uni-giessen.de/~g51092/DeArango.html really puzzled by this thing, the line-up is fairly unusual (tp/g/p/b, no drums) and the theme sounds like someone with "big ideas"... i'd have thought this already reduces the number of possibilities sufficiently...
  24. Bill Heine quotes King's ex-husband Tony Fruscella: "The poets took over, and their energy drew over those guys with the funny haircuts, the B-E-A-T-L-E-S, and Tony Fruscella started to pull his hair out of his head and said, “Man, this is the end,” and it was. " (link)
