to make staying home easier... maybe i'm just ignorant, but imho it's getting worse every year, counting one artist I wouldn't object to hearing (Scofield)... (and maybe Niedecken plus big band for the curiosity value but i doubt that would carry me through the evening... well, actually this clip is sufficient for me)

I was wondering about this interesting photo from the October 22 1949 Baltimore Afro-American: Do I read this right that it says the second guy on the left is Tadd Dameron? Is it really him? What's he doing with the trombone, i.e., is it known that we was also a trombone player? (others on the picture it says are Jimmy Mundy, Gene Ammons (so the later Richard-Carpenter-Crew is together), and Pearl Bailey...)

Von Freeman himself on the issue: "Now, a lot of people don't know whether it was Claude McLin on "These Foolish Things" or myself. There were several tenor players that were on these different jobs, and they were mostly using my rhythm section. And I really can't tell whether it's myself either, because almost all of us were trying to play like Lester Young at the time, because that was the thing to do if you were able at all." from here: http://www.jazzhouse.org/nlib/index.php3?read=panken12

at least in my part of the world in can be heard here - good one!

They were reissued as a mid-priced CD a year or so ago. The first place I saw them was the Jazz Loft. They never did get around to "La Note Bleu", "French Ballads" or "Wild Dogs Of Ruwenzori" though. Of these 3, the only one I missed was "French Ballads". I found "Wild Dogs Of Ruwenzori" to be too "smooth" for my taste. Wilen does Kenny G? Kevin strange, i was under the impression, La Note Bleue was in that batch, too, at least i saw cheapcopies around the same time (and got one, would have to look for it to see when it was made)

to me it looked like they tried to add the Dixon to the second batch after his death? at least that's what i'm, hoping...

strange, i've already seen that Rudd/Anderson picture a few minutes ago! had been wanting to ask about your gig, glad to hear of a great night!

can i have the political forum unblocked as well? think i have distanced myself enough from the board to differentiate by now... ;-)

not 100% certain, but this is what i would have thought as well; unfortunately the Dixon, Motian and Russell boxes are not up on the grooves-inc site yet - so there's a small chance those will be expansive there,.,.,

FWIW, grooves-inc.com now has the Taylor and Bowie sets for iirc 18 and 16 Euro - might be worth waiting for their prices of the rest...

Jack Graham who played on the Sunny Murray ESP album? was also irritated by the remarks about Demons, didn't really fit my image of Henderson...

you leave me puzzled with this one...

so it's indeed the 15 albums I listed above plus San Francisco Holiday... thanks!

don't really know where else to post this, trumpeter Al Porcino also has a nice collection of photos on his homepage including some truly great ones such as Miles Davis dancing the jitterbug, or the one of the Porcinos with Tiny Kahn and Frank Rosolino...

voilà! http://www.amazon.fr/Lester-Bowie/dp/B003PCL11W/ref=pd_bxgy_m_text_c http://www.amazon.fr/Paul-Motian/dp/B003PCL1AS/ref=pd_sim_m_3 http://www.amazon.fr/Cecil-Taylor/dp/B003PCL1EO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1282680782&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.fr/George-russell-compilation-Russell-G/dp/B003QM1ANU/ref=pd_sim_m_2 (just entered the artist's name and picked the first promising item - no deep skills involved)

oh yes, there was an mp3-only reissue at least of the first three recently but that's not the same thing...

definitely high up on my wantlist, i met the group's tenorist Daniel Jackson in San Diego in 1997 (attended his public workshop a number of times, it was really generous he let me be there given my age and talent :-) ) which was one of those experiences that really count for me... in the meantime, Jackson has a number of album on CDBaby http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/DanielJackson1 as an aside, while i'd love to have those two albums together on a spanish cd (only realistic alternative i guess), i also still like the idea of a Cannonball Adderley Productions set from Concord which would also include the Joe Alexander, Roosevelt Wardell and Paul Serrano albums (and a bunch of others most of which have come out on cd by now)

didn't put much effort into this list - but i just count 15... is there anything obvious missing? otherwise ideas for disc 16 would be the outtakes disc San Francisco Holiday or the sideman appearance with Clark Terry... but those wouldn't be typical for the series, or? on a related note, will these discs probably have alternate takes? Plays the Music of Duke Ellington The Unique Thelonious Monk Brilliant Corners Thelonious Himself With John Coltrane Monk's Music Mulligan Meets Monk Thelonious in Action Misterioso At Town Hall 5 by Monk by 5 Alone in San Francisco At the Blackhawk In France In Italy

stupid question maybe, but: which school/players are the ones Harris considers as not playing correctly in this context?

Thank you so much for the heads up! I've wanted this set for a while and the price is finally right. Just placed my order. one look at the packaging will tell you that the price is not really right - you're just luckyy

no bass and one or two guitars and an organ too many, but what about those Groove Holmes/Jimmy McGriff Giants of The Organ albums? (especially the live one)

He's listed on the other three I have - 'Storm of Light', 'Stella Marina' and 'Inner City Blues'. The only Working Week albim with Keith Tippett on that I know was the later 'Fire in the Mountain'. Not sure if he's on that. The last time I saw him he was playing in the band that recorded this: had totally forgotten about it, but I saw him with that fine band, too IIRC (in Moers) really discovered him only in the last few weeks through those great Collier albums ... RIP

Happy Birthday!

afaik it's not literally the same label though it is the same people... i've spent hours listening to the Smalls Live Jazz archive online... (we had a thread about that); for instance the trio of guitarist William Ash and the quintet of trumpeter Dwayne Clemons featuring Sacha Perry on piano are two groups i like which have dozens of sets in that archive... (like this one) http://www.smallsjazzclub.com

naturally, i wasn't an American (though obviously a Western tourist) but i travelled Poland in the late 90s and it always felt reasonably save... nothing I've heard speaks for singling out just those two countries out of the old East... (Russia for instance sounded much more troublesome to me than Poland from all I've heard...)
