He was during his complete life "the restless searcher" as you can read in Down Beat. Nevertheless he could direct the orchestra via piano like the Duke with his phantastic Intros

Interesting! Here is another one

Have quite a bunch of his records in the collection Here are some favorits. Its a pity that the band members are not listed

Here is a bunch of records from my Jack Sheldon collection

Like it! W.

That seems obvious in this forum (but also not only here) and is valid for many even successful artists in general and is also a truism. The economic success even in Oscar's lifetime shows that the majority of postings here with that negative touch are a small exemption and (I repeat myself) personal preferences from "nonpianists". Thats ok with me. I dont like many artists on many fields. Thats simply human and has no affect for the artists themselves. They know what they do wether you like it or not. This is valid also for every kind of art. I have bought Down Beat 5 stars rated albums and didnt like them at all and I like very much albums with a zero rating from Down Beat. So what? We dont like all the same meal and every critic rates acc. his personal Impression. Btw "de mortuis nihil nisi bene". Thanks

Re: Buddy Rich " Just In Time - The Final Recording" Just in my own stock now: a) the 3 LP-set b) the 2 CD-set Both highly recommended

On a Woody Herman Tribute with the WDR big band you could hear on tenor sax Bill Holman / Al Cohn & Sal Nistico really doing the thing. WDR Bigband RB WDR 1987/06/12 120 Köln(I), Stadtg D Holman/Nistico/Cohn WDR Bigband RB WDR 5 1987/06/12 120 Köln,Stadtg. D Holman/Cohn/Nistico

His first 2 albums on Blue Note are real winners.

Maybee a little "offtopic" but Nelson Riddle was a great arranger and had some nice albums on Capitol. "C'mon get happy" is the swingiest. Same genre as Jackie Gleason for the "lighter side" but he is also available with swinging big band sounds. BTW "Changing Colors" is here in the stock. The music is like the title "changing colors" If I need "noise" I am to 50 % a big band collector and have enought stuff for that direction too. ;-]]

Here is another one from my stock Ponty,Jean-Luc A Taste For Passion 1979 Atlantic 19253

Have about 60 Items with Oscar LP's / CD's and some boxes. He is one of my favorite jazz artists I can listen to at any time. Beginning with his very early recordings on RCA, the rich selections on Verve under his name as well as doing "the house rhythm section" for other Norman Granz' artists and some on the Pablo label, Justintime label + some live stuff from the swiss radio label and the french RTE/Trema and reissues on VSP/VSPS. The high rated "London House" recordings do not belong to my favorites. Heavens sake the tastes are different. Outstanding for me are the Trio recordings without drummer that is with Ray Brown, Barney Kessel or Herb Ellis. The "song books" are nice but not a deep performance. but the rest with the Trio is first class [for me]. The MPS material is superbe because of the recording technique and I like also the " decadent Euro 19710 fondue sound" if I need some quieter music. That is all I can comment from my side on this thread. Thanks

Thanks for the link & Info. I did assume however only the new "Phono" label could be from there but I am not certain about it because there is no printed Information on the CD . I have ordered my copies from the spanish mailorder service "Jazz Memssengers" (= distributor acc. my Invboice). You can look up the label at Discogs ---> Phono (4)

He is not too well known even under big band fans. I happen to have one vinyl by pure accident because it looked interesting in a mailorder service offer. Down Beat gave it a rating of 3 1/2 stars. Here are the LP scans & the review

Correct this is also my Impression. Andorra in Spain has a very short copyright protection for material (less than 50 years I've read somewhere) so most material they do issue is public domain in their county. I assume they are located there. BTW have just got a vinyl from the "DeAgostini UK Ltd" which is officially licensed. Excellent vinyl quality.

The complete series is Vol I to Vol VIII. I have 7 and missing Vol VII. If there is someone who wants to sell it send a PM. Thanks
