I have one 33rpm 7'', Jimmy Knepper with Joe Maini and Bill Triglia on Danish Debut...

I only watched bits and pieces of the movie, and one moment that I noticed was one of the two guys from the club saying that he thought Dolphy might be on drugs from the way he was moving, the glassy eyes... And I wouldn't just want to call that racist stereotype - after all, I suppose those nights when the American guest stars didn't deliver on stage due to intoxication just happened from time to time.... It's easy to imagine that those who brought him to the hospital said "and by the way, we suspect it could be a drug overdose" with only good intentions... We have all read books about how Dolphy would never even touch a glass of wine - but those books weren't around back in the day

thanks, it's both Wright recounting what the doctors told him + the doctors saying that they had diagnosed a diabetes that apparently had not been noticed before... so that story + the fact that it's in the liner notes of a well-known album would explain how we all know about the diabetes even though Dolphy himself may never have known

There have been some investigations of this over the years, I believe I read more details than in this article somewhere at some point but I forgot https://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/sie-erklarten-ihn-einfach-fur-tot-1167592.html In German but ir answers a few of the questions (the paragraph starting with "Ende Juni 1964", no time to translate right now). Sounds like it was definitely undiagnosed / unknown to the doctors - but someone must have diagnosed it at some point

Oh, i find that very easy to imagine!

And most likely, they won't even be speaking proper German on that show... (as my better half would point out, if you have the ability it's much wiser to speak Bavarian rather than German when traveling in Austria) Hope I can stream it a bit later, 5 minutes past midnight is usually not my time these days... And yes, very cool!

there's a Chico Freeman album with Freddie Waits and a Von Freeman album with Nasheet Waits... that's, of course, crossing the generations...

I did it for like half a year in 2009 or so, in order to get better at talking about music, and also to listen more consciously with streaming becoming a thing, i.e. in order to create some record of my listening as a placeholder for a music collection... It worked fairly well, no idea why I stopped, probably because it was quite a hassle and a very self-conscious thing to do...

Attila Zoller... I wouldn't really consider him more post bebop than Jim Hall... Szabo reminds me of the fact that there was Larry Corryell as well, both with Chico Hamilton... I find your story of "from a market and sales perspective GG partly filled a postbop void that was there until John McLaughlin appeared" really interesting... But is it true or almost true? I wouldn't consider Benson more "Soul Jazz" than Green, just like Beck he recorded with Miles... (For Beck I was mostly thinking of Songs for Wounded Knee w Richard Davis which is clearly postbop imho)

George Benson? Freddie Robinson? Joe Beck? Jimi Hendrix? There's so many more people I'm forgetting... The statement didn't feel quite right to me either....

I've streamed In Sommerhausen a few weeks ago and thought it sounded great ... Probably helped that the music is so good... And, indeed, it would be super weird if this wasn't the same version as on the CD - but I'm fairly ignorant about audio matters so curious about everyone else's verdict

A favorite... rip

"Hans" is J.A.

Looking at Discogs, I'd say somewhere between 10 and 20... You could animate the discussion by letting us know why you care about the answer and, possibly, what you think the answer might be...

Happy Birthday!

back as a kid in the 90s, he was one of my favorite authors... RIP

Conrad Lester was a soul jazz tenor from Newark who recorded mostly with Jimmy McGriff... Hampton Hawes – All Night Session! Vol. 2

just so I understand it: the Dragon release was on Spotify, of course it was authorized, but Zev and his cohorts - who must have known - made a complaint to ban it from Spotify? Somehow, every RSD the guy manages to annoy me big time, and I don't even buy his stuff (last year, there was the issue of the second tenor on the Stitt LP)

Read your interview with him again when playing the album, thank you so much for that, it's a very useful resource on an aspect of the Dutch Jazz scene that hasn't been covered that much elsewhere

FIve Times Six (Cat Records) yesterday on the King's annual birthday flea market, I didn't even try, but a year ago, I actually managed to find an album from my extended wish list... so playing it again on the occasion (even though commentators pointed out that the King lost quite a bit of weight over the year, so that there's substantially less King to celebrate this year than a year ago...)

I wasn't in the market but I am pretty sure I saw copies of the Rollins here in Amsterdam the Monday after RSD

Most of the books I buy sell less than 2000 copies, so from that perspective I'm buying almost nothing, following the author's logic... Same for music btw

My best shot at what could be meant... More info there... Apparently there's overdubbing so Duvivier and Solal will really be heard together... Coronet seems to be Columbia... And whether Duvivier should be considered a Co-Leader here I wouldn't want to judge

Besides myself, Duke Ellington comes to mind

This may well lead to a fragmentation of the market, similar to what we already know from movie platforms... Which is certainly not in the interest of listeners... While there's stuff not to like about Spotify, it did seem to correspond to a model that maximized the power of listeners to the detriment of labels and artists (with the threat of Napster in the background)... Curious how this all will play out...
