Nice to hear that Paris Jazz Corner is still open.
Yeah, I was pleased to see it...and so was the owner when I walked out with a small pile of cds!

See JSangrey's post at the top of this page.
Little Pony and Beaver Junction were issued after the session, but the other two did not get a release until later in the vinyl era.
Oops--moved past that too fast and didn't catch it. Thanks Steve. I have all four on the Definitive sets (presumably ripped off from the big French Columbia LP sets).

More than once in DB record reviews of the time Nat Hentoff referred to the long stick with which Freddie Green would poke Sonny Payne when Payne rushed.
I'm just catching up on this thread, but I really love this image!!
Only four tracks were recorded at that '51 session: "Howzit," "Nails," "Little Pony," and "Beaver Junction." Presumably issued on two 78s? Or was Columbia doing 45s by then? Columbia did reissue two of them ("Little Pony" and "Beaver Junction") on its "America's #1 Band" comp.

I just saw all five volumes at the Paris Jazz Corner a couple of days ago. Thought I'd alert anyone who might want them and could get there. Hours are a bit hinky in late August, but it is open.

Just saw this. Sad news! I don't see Jack around here as much as I once did--he's missed!

Got this one on a trip to Europe. The original was issued on MGM in 1959, and I'd never even heard of it. Tracks are short but very sweet, and BG is in good form:

I was traveling and only heard the news today on the SeriusXM jazz station. Total shock. I figured--hoped?--he'd be with us a good while longer. RIP.

Blakey if I wanted to have something "safe" that just grooves.
Roach if I wanted to listen more closely and figure out things.....
Me too.

It’s here!
Listening to the live things on disc 10. Some nice Lucky Thompson and Howard McGhee!

The Teagardens, Kenton Presents: Rosolino, and the Basie Roulettes, but I like most of 'em.

Excellent news! We miss you when you're gone!

Watched: Dark Winds finale
Will finish this one later: CNN special on Bannon
Then: WestWorld episode from last night.
I was gone and just caught up on Westworld last night. Some good Ed Harris. That series continues to be fun.

The Barney Bigard session with Art Tatum on disc 5 is one of my favorite dates from the set thus far. A lot of the mid-late 1940s “Long Tall Papa”-style double-entendre vocal blues genre on discs 4 and 5 which tends to weary me these days, no matter how good the performers or performances, but I knew that going in. On to disc 6 and Jack McVea.
That's funny. I'm just reading this as I finish the Bigard/Auld stuff on disc five. Bigard and Tatum are up next! On the whole, I'm really enjoying the variety on this set so far. There have been some pleasant surprises (Mike Lo Salzo, anyone?!), and I'm hoping for more.

Mine arrived in Portland yesterday. I'm just finishing disc one as well. Some lovely Pee Wee Russell, and as a long-time fan of Bechet, I'm always delighted to hear more. Great booklet. I think I'm really going to enjoy exploring this set!

Ditto. Now it has to make its way out here to the Best Coast!

This LP has Dexterity, Bongo Bop, Dewey Square, The Hymn, Embraceable You, Bird of Paradise. One of the greatest recording sessions in jazz.
I still have all those Spotlite LPs, even though I long ago replaced them with the Complete Savoy and Dial Recordings box. It was a considerable point of pride for me back then when I managed to get hold of those LPs. And the music was--and is--so very fine!

I seem to recall that there was another discussion about the Keynote box they reissued but can’t seem to find the discussion.
If you type "Keynote Box" in the search box you'll find a couple of discussions of it.

Mosaic to release 1960s Freddie Hubbard set
in Mosaic and other box sets...

This is an unusual case. Usually they announce a set for preorder a few months before it's due to come out. I'll be interested to see if this one does indeed start shipping in only five days!!
