didn't see it outside the baudoin foundation (hadn't tried to put the thing into the shopping cart...); i would call them or send them an email, didn't have the impression it was available elsewhere (tried amazon.fr, fnac.be and priceminister)

two more reviews, both a bit more balanced than the first one - both explicitly mention fear in the audience (as do some more, shorter ones), the first one is a bit high-brow but very funny http://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/art772,2922921 http://www.hilpoltsteiner-zeitung.de/artik...t=48&man=16 will try to translate this bit later... "Jarrett, ein schwarzer Pädagoge und Noli-me-tangere-Prinz auf der Erbse des gerade erst begonnenen Abends, geißelt in einer seiner berüchtigten Ermahnungspredigten dafür gleich das ganze Publikum. Fürs Erste, als würden seine ungnädig-gnädigen Einlassungen sie nicht noch weiter schwinden lassen, ist seine Konzentration dahin. Jarrett, so göttlich seine Eingebungen sein mögen, unterhält auch einen Wackelkontakt zur Ewigkeit."

looks like you can order it here ... good luck more info here: http://www.jazzinbelgium.com/album/jazz-in...llection-pernet

has been mentioned before, the other two are not much more expansive, e.g., between 14 and 16 at amazon marketplace

upon third reading i stumbled upon this sentence btw (by michael fitzgerald) "There's another 1967 Dorham date floating around out there with: Kenny Dorham, Gene Harris, Victor Sproles, Jimmy Lovelace, Joe Lee Wilson."

!Happy Birthday!

thank you! now listening....

one of my favorite jazz books as well (though i have to warn, it does have a slightly broader perspective ) the vsop catalogue can be streamed here btw

also ich wär dabei, aber ich bin auch ziemlich undemokratisch eingestellt... entdecke grad element of crime wieder, nicht unglaublich gut, aber viel besser als ich in erinnerung hatte (delmenhorst)

i've managed to leave the board to a degree that i don't really care anymore... will switch off avatars next time they bother me...

i really like Brad Mehldau's version of River Man and Grant Green's I want to hold your hand...

everybody loves serge gainsbourg... does anybody else here listen to the wonderful aztec camera almost every day?

welcome back! in my post 8 are links to (i believe) all 15 interviews that are available online... haven't read the hurte yet but will do so soon... (the gerry wiggins is great)

the trick is to enter something like this into google... "cafe society" site:clemson.edu

on robert campbell's pages there are some mentions of a Cafe De Society at 309 East Garfield in Chicago in the Forties... if it really bugs you i would consider sending an email there (though your picture is slightly before the time frame of that page...) here, for instance http://hubcap.clemson.edu/~campber/hytone.html "The original address of the Melody Lane Recording Company was 323-B East 55th Street, Chicago---the address of the Melody Lane Record Shop, owned by Williams. In the mid-1940s, 55th Street, also called Garfield Boulevard, was one of the peppiest streets for South Side nightlife. The major clubs it boasted included the Club DeLisa (5521 South State), Cafe De Society (309 East Garfield), the Hurricane Show Lounge (349 East Garfield), and the Rhumboogie Club (343 East Garfield). The last (for details see our Rhumboogie page) was probably the most prestigious of the clubs on the street, though it was on its way downhill by then. Thus, Williams was placed right in the center of a hot entertainment area, where he probably was inspired to record some of the talent he saw in the nearby clubs."

maybe the right time and place to ask: am i the only one to find the spoken part of this video hilarious but disturbing?

actually, most of my first jazz albums i play late at night, miles davis (rarely play him these days, don't really know why) and horace silver's song for my father (every year in those hours before i get one year older...) [but when they were new to me i played them all the time...] post nr 3000! thank you jim, i know i'm not an easy poster!

off the top of my head, stuff i've recently played more than once in such settings: Eric Dolphy - Iron Man John Coltrane - Traneing In John Coltrane - Settin' the Pace Grant Green - Talkin' About Soft Machine - Third Enrico Rava - New York Days if i still have to work at 3 usually lighter fare such as Elliott Smith... played Steve Kuhn's Mostly Coltrane for the first time yesterday and felt it might be a great late night alternative to those Coltrane Prestige Albums

just in case anyone has still missed it, chris albertson's blog is great

thanks for the richard thompson and glenn ferris recommendations...! i also liked Ferris' recent X Actimo! maybe not quite as beautiful as the texier album but highly enjoyable (on deezer (as are the BFG and the Texier) but i doubt you can play it in the US... but who knows)

a bit flashy maybe... but i really liked milhaud's compositions for saxophone and piano at one time...
