Anthony Ortega "New Dance" Revelation. Never ceases to amaze! :tup

Whoops! The above post, I misspelled! Of course it's Bobby Jaspar, not "Jasper". -----HB

Bobby Jasper Quartet "At Ronnie Scott's-1962" Mole Jazz. W/ Rene Thomas, Benoit Quersin and Daniel Humair.

I know very well that they exist, but let's not discuss E-bay's "quite wide cracks"!

I'll have to dig out my Mosca LPs. R.I.P Sal!!

Arthur Blythe "The Grip" India Navigation. 1977. W/ Ahmed Abdullah, Bob Stewart, Abdul Wadud, Steve Reid and Muhamad Abdullah.

Cheikh Tidiane Fall, Bobby Few and Joe Maka "Diom Futa" Free Lance. 1979. I remember scoring this back in 1992 for $2.50!!! (the receipt is still in the sleeve). Swell session!

Yeah, sorry, I don't know who it is either, sure is good! I love that LP! I like a lot of Rey's material (not all of it). It's funny, a lot of hipster kids have been getting into his "crazy" steel Guitar work....It all comes full circle & back again! Crazy, Daisey!

Mats Gustafsson "Solos For Contrabass Saxophone" Table of the Elements. Swell clear/silk screened vinyl! 2003.

Jacques Coursil "Black Suite" America. orig. w/Arthur Jones, Burton Greene, Beb Guerin, Claude Delcloo and Anthony Braxton. Such a super session!! :tup Anybody dig this date? Is it on CD? -----HB

Von Freeman "Doin' it right now" Promo. Atlantic. Produced by R. Roland Kirk. Not Vonski's best, IMHO, cookin' nonetheless!! Featuring: John Young, Sam Jones and Jimmy Cobbs. ---- HB

Hey Clifford, The "Flexi-Sex" material IZ funny AND cool to boot (or to knock boot's to!!). Dig it! --- HB

DIG on that last one, Clifford!! I freaking love Volonte!! Tuff Sax!! BTW, I am still searching for the REARWARD reissue of the 2nd (offered by Rearward), Volonte jam session. Do you know of this?? --- HB

Hell! Betty Carter rock's the bells!!! I sure do dig Abbey Lincoln as well! You must re-evaluate Betty Carter! Check the sides she did with Sonny Rollins. Or the great 2xLP "what a little Moonlight can do". That has SOME with Rollins. Just my opinion. ---HB

Was on the liner notes to the Stan Getz/Albert Daily LP, in which Getz recounted a story about how Albert couldn't stand Sax players... and this conversation took place in Stan's car, w/ Albert sitting in the passenger seat (dead man's seat)!! I really do seem to recall that. Was it on the "POETRY" LP? Help me out, somebody.... ---- HB

Wow! What a surprise! I just got done spinning Sonny Stitt "Salt & Pepper" Impulse Original. I found the reed Sonny used here in Denver, @ Clydes Pub...Way back in 19980. Man was Sonny stinkin' drunk!! But, he played his ass off, and, as he was wont to do, cut some youngbloods who were "ready" to jam w/ Stitt. I'll never forget it. BTW, He signed the reed!! :tup Of course, Gonsalves was on the date. --- HB

John Handy "No Coast Jazz" Roulette. Original. Love this rekkid!!! ----- HB

Keith Jarrett "Birth" With Charlie Haden, Paul Motian and Dewey Redman. 1972. Atlantic.

Thanks Jim!! The joint looks swell! Felt lost without Nessa's input!! ---- HB

Well, it looks as if we are back up and running!! Just finished the Andrew Hill "pax" CD, now for some vinyl.... Harold Land Quintet "Jazz Impressions of Folk Music" W/ Carmell Jones, John Houston, Jimmy Bond and Mel Lee. On Imperial. Mono. I've always liked this record.

Bob Mover "In The True Tradition" Xanadu 187. 1981. W/ Rufus Reid and Bobby Ward. Always liked Mover, and esp. enjoy this trio date.

Art Farmer Quintet "Manhattan" Soul Note. 1982. W/: Sahib Shibab, Kenny Drew, Mads Vinding and Ed Thigpen. Soul Note. 1982. DIG!

Mr. Nessa, Jeez! Thanks for that!! Wow! I don't mean to be DUMB w/ my post's, I just Say what's on my mind. Love yr rekkids. Got most of them. All good. (and when I say what's on my mind, well, it does not come out the way I would like it to. Hope you understand. Later skater hater, Horny

Anybody on here wise to the Lee Wiley IMPERSONATOR" There was at least 2 Wiley impersonators, the last being active up until 1999. Very strange stories! I happened to know the 2nd Wiley "impersonator", funny thing was, older folks would come up to her at open piano nights, at a very posh Hotel here in Denver, and flat accuse her of being Lee Wiley, at at least (in my presence) she got up from around the piano and archly stated:"Yes, I am and don't say another word about it!" She had a lot of "tells", some of which gave her away, but, most enhanced her story. She had many stories of Joe Bushkin, Bix, Billie, ...jeez so many. That lady, who I knew for at least 14 years, died around 1999/2000. Very strange. Anybody got any soup on this? Or even the bona fide Wiley hoaxter?? ----HB

Tired as it sounds, a record is worth what an individual will pay for it. Many factors play: How bad does the "collector" want the LP, ETC...... Vinyl is a strange animal, ACTUAL people decide what they are willing to pay for an album. I do take exception to Clifford's "no record should go for over $100.00. Heck, many records are pressed (not just jazz) i such small batches, that more folks want them than were pressed. Supply and demand, man. Dig it All- ---HB
