  1. Well Dave Fish I'm glad you brought this up. That is a real possibility. Finding the tapes will not be easy as that was John's label. But this brings up the wider question of what to do after Joe Daley. We need the releases to be stellar. Not good. Not very good. But stellar. So let's have some discussion again on this as we all did earlier but it has to be limited to stellar by any standard. Fischer, Steig and Daley are. Daley at least by the bass playing which is stellar. The rest is very good. So, let's discuss anything which has not been reissued on CD or at least is well out of print on CD and is stellar. We have the Marsh stuff we discussed and that is stellar by any stretch. But what else? Not easy I know. Thanks in advance.

    I've never had a chance to hear "Echoes," but I love Carter, and I've only heard positive things about this album. It's never been reissued in any format, and there's so little of his stuff available. Can't really see anyone else getting this out there.

    Could the tapes be in the collection at the University of Colorado?

  2. Really enjoyed that - thanks again, Larry.

    Does anyone know what the second violin soloist was using as a bow?

    The second violin soloist seems to have things set up so that the hairs of his bow meet the strings of the violin from beneath the strings rather than from above -- this probably was accomplished by undoing the bow hairs beforehand, running them under the strings, and then reattaching them to the bow. The first violin soloist is playing with "one hair," however that's done.

    That makes sense. I wonder if the first soloist is using a piece of wire - the sound he's producing seems metallic to me.

  3. Does anyone know if Uptown has plans to reissue this on CD?

    Since those clips of Don's playing were posted in the Tony Fruscella thread, I've been watching/listening to them constantly.

    I've also ordered Chuck Wayne's "String Fever" and will be picking it up tomorrow. Can't wait to hear it.

  4. "City of Glass" (the Graettinger album) is a must. Also, "Easy Go," a compilation of early '50s sides, has some wonderful Art Pepper and Conte Candoli playing on great Gene Roland and Bill Russo charts.

    As for the '40s stuff, I'd say the Classics CDs are the way to go, with IMO better sound than the Mosaic. I wouldn't worry about missing out on the alternates - they don't add much to the picture.
