    Earlier today, I walked into a bookshop I visit occasionally, and right at the front of the Jazz CD section, there was a copy of Brother Ah's "Sound Awareness."

    Immediately behind it, a copy of the Hines/Nance disc mentioned above.

    Snagged both for $25!

    These clips of three separate Peter Nero performances were just posted to YouTube.

    I've seen his name mentioned here before, but hadn't heard his playing. Thought these might be of interest to a few of you.

    One of the commentators says this was taped in Dallas but broadcast on a Nashville show. Apparently 1966. Jim -- do you recognized any of the cats?

     

     

     

    As Dan mentioned above, this is from The !!!! Beat, a show curated and hosted by Nashville producer, Bill "Hoss" Allen. The show was taped at a Dallas TV station rather than in Nashville because of the availability of color video facilities.

    In this segment, the band members are as follows: Fathead & Harvey Thompson, tenor; Skippy Brooks, piano; Johnny Jones, guitar; Billy Cox, bass; Freeman Brown, drums.

    I want to know if there is a full session with Oliver Nelson and King Curtis sitting around somewhere. That one cut is very nice. Seems odd to have a big band in place and just cut one single, a B-Side at that.

    This. Anybody know?

    Can't find any audio for this, but maybe "More Soul" is from this session?

  13. Matt Monro - Stranger In Paradise

    Monro was very much under appreciated. As others more knowledgeable than I have suggested, his failure to gain the sort of traction he probably deserved was attributable to the fact that Sinatra had already been done.  

    Could be. I haven't heard much else of Munro's work, but these recordings are exceptional. The attention paid to the intent of the lyrics, the phrasing, the interplay with the band - it's all there.

    Hadn't heard it before, but the liners say Capitol signed him as a "replacement" for Nat King Cole.

  18. What to Reissue Number Two

    in Re-issues

    I don't know if Rod Levitt has been mentioned here (and I'm too lazy to read through 11 pages), but judging from what I've heard (only the Riverside/OJC reissue) and from the comments on the Levitt thread, one or more of his RCA recordings might be a possibility for a very good reissue.

    A properly done reissue of the RCA Rod Levitt material would be serious cause for excitement.

  19. What to Reissue Number Two

    I've gladly purchased everything you've reissued so far. A complete reissue of the Half Note material would be amazing, and as suggested above, reissues of some of the other Revelation titles (Symposium On Relaxed Improvisation, any Clare Fischer) would be a sure thing for me.

  20. VIDEO (+ New CD Release)- Don Wilkerson Stretching Out -1980s Houston

    in Artists

    Posted · Edited by Dave Fish

    Found this on a Houston Jazz forum, posted by pianist Joe LoCascio:

    To my utter surprise I received in the mail a CD entitled Live at Lotts Emporium, The Carl Lott Trio with Texas Tenors Arnett Cobb and Don Wilkerson. The CD is a labor of love from Carl Lott who has painstakingly been editing and compiling (with the help of Digital Crosstrax Studio and Powerhouse Music Studio) performances recorded at his nightclub Lotts Emporium circa 1982. The CD features Carl Lott on drums, Bill Murry on bass, Joe LoCascio on piano and of course, Arnett and Don on Tenor Sax. Arnett is featured on 5 tracks and Don on an additional 5.


    Some of you may remember the Emporium. It was one of the greatest jazz clubs Houston has ever seen and in its brief run (1982-1983) featured, in addition to Don and Arnett, artists such as Pharoah Sanders, Hank Crawford, G.T. Hogan, Woody Shaw, Leon Spencer Jr., Conrad Johnson, Tony Campise, Mildred Jones and Charles Patterson. Bill Murry and I were privileged to be members of the house band, led by Carl, during the entire run. It was an intense education, to say the least.

  22. Alright, Then - Joe Perkins

    Jim,

    You should really check out this:

    Not always as much of an overt country influence as in the Perkins tracks above, but it's always there, and the results are often, well, stunning.

    BTW, ever seen Gatemouth Brown playing fiddle on "When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again", backed by the house band of The!!! Beat!!!? Pretty amazing.
