since this song (another version) is our contribution to this year's european song contest, this song and its obvious deficiences are a big issue to most of us here...

thank you very much for all your good wishes!

don't think that thread was Blue Note specific, definitely started by jsngry with the kontomanou... anyway this one would fit into that thread

there's more info in this session under the link i posted (including a lengthy discussion of when it was recorded, release date was in 1953 apparently)

Ruppli's Savoy discography only gives the following: Recorded May 27, 1954, Chicago (purchased from Parrot label) Coleman Hawkins (ts), with unknown organ, piano, bass, Buddy Smith (drums), vocal choir Thanks for checking. I wonder if anyone really knows. I'm only curious because the organist's sound is a bit off the beaten path. Not anything radical, just kind of different. from the Red Saunders Foundation page

not quite a saxophone, but otherwise Dizzy Gillespie's Digital at Montreux with Toots Thielemans and Bernard Purdy fits the bill...

they're not criticized - but i would agree with the writer, that you will always recognize someone who praises Mingus as a Jazz fan - with someone who praises Armstrong you don't know - that could be anyone... so if you want to show that you're an insider, it's better to talk about Mingus...

Happy Birthday, Allen!

but the second track on the first album (Dirty Work) does have a short Jerome Richardson solo...

January 3 and 4 1996 http://www.wnur.org/jazz/artists/eskelin.ellery/discog.html great album!

iirc Jazz Beat is pretty close to the black side within the gray area... which doesn't mean, they wouldn't copy japanese cds if available instead of going through the troubles of dropping needles...

(you haven't reissued it yet, but that sounds like a good start...)

and small pictures for the other three...

Professeur du Modernisme et de la Théorie Critique à l’Université de Canterbury en Angleterre it does sound fancy in French

thank you! hadn't been aware of the Lacy yet... for Murray there's already the cover:

if you can, i would wait a little with selling the Holy Ghost since the price is rising again...

out on cd in japan...

Since I have not heard anything, I don't want to post in the other thread, but: Is anything by Joseph Dejean/Cohelmec Ensemble a classic? I have not heard them but have long been curious... similarly, nothing by Michel Roques has ever been reissued as far as I know...

disabling java on your browser cannot be stealing - only a few years ago, no browser had it and I know many people who keep it turned off unless they actually need it to stay save from cyber-attacks... whether it's morally ok to read the NYT under these circumstances I don't know (or care) but I have a clear opinion about whether a million dollar paywall should be able to handle attacks like these... to me the right comparison seems something like: If you find a NYT lying on the floor 200 meters from where it is sold - is it ok to read it? maybe not...

the Dulfer came out in the Dulfer box from iirc Dutch EMI

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

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

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

Georges Arvanitas?

and here's another hidden Allen Lowe album, at least he composed half the material and Joe Albany is on piano...
