the Dizzy And Stuff stuff also appears be have been excluded

from a charity sale yesterday Round Midnight- Sound track- Columbia- utter rubbish, very poor playing by Dex, sad Abbey Road- Beatles- 2nd pressing in mint condition- lovely Velvet Groove- Howard Roberts - Verve (1966?) with woodwinds and strings but surprisingly good Rainforest- Walter Wanderly- Verve- garbage, poor choice but only £2 Dizzy and Stuff Smith- WRC- lovely of course Catch Me- Joe Pass- Fontana- smooth and bopish- nice

Oh what have I done........

the man's music is seriously addictive stuff be warned. Interesting that the post is about Wayne Marsh, Mr Shorter indeed sounds to these ears to have drunk from the same pool.

sounds great, I'd love to see Solal live in any setting, but solo or dueting with Konitz would be perfect... I can dream on of course.....

One track from this session appears on the Bud Shank/ Bill Perkins- Pacific-( West Coast Classics) CD put out in late 90s. I forget the track's name but it sounds pretty good to my ears. I usually always think,that it's a pity when excellent musicians, like Perkins or Bud Shank look back on their earlier efforts with disdain.

Weizen, sounds like your friend had a better experience than sheldonm did on Wednesday night. That's 'cause Mark was standing too close to him snapping 60 pics w/some monster flash and blinding the poor guy! I thought he didn't use flash

I'd guess the euro version will be worth less, but as I've no intention of selling any of my sets I'll never find out.

Here comes the man! Put that one on my iPOd when I go out running, makes me go faster, it's an absolute master piece.

Looking for recs re Frank Teschemacher,(died 1932- automobile accident) I've come across his work with Chocolate Dandies (Parlophone LP) and the Chicago Rhythm Kings ( Austin High School Gang 1928-30 MCA LP). His tone is certainly very curious - acidic not unlike the late Jackie McLean. Any recs on where to hear more ( small groups especially)

Just checked out the contents of #37 and not much Cyrus on that one. I'll check out some others and be back shortly. Cyrus goes parp-parp on DGF 14 and 17. William's Jazz Kings sides from Columbia are gathered across these disc with other tracks. I've some of this material on a VJM vinyl and await delivery of DGF 14 as we speak.

it's prior to the first track, and does appear when that track is ripped, you have to rewind from 0.00 on track 1, go back about 9 minutes and you get two incomplete versions of "Lover come back to me" ( I think).

up for help

anyone care to comment on the Frog issues lead by Eddie South Andy Kirk

I got Billy Banks's Rhythmakers (1932), CBS LP yesterday and it is astonishingly hot jazz of the highest order, highly recommended, although Banks is a vocalist it's really the instrumentalists who shine here. If only there was more like this !!!

I've had this wonderful CD a while. I cant get the hidden track to play on my CD player which is frsutrating as it pretty good ( it plays ok on my in-laws system). Anyone know a way of ripping the hidden track ? Thanks

Many happy returns Flurin

anyone know Hill's solo LP "California with Love" on Artists House?

I guess I must have the acquired taste of early Brookmeyer but it now all makes a bit more sense and I really hear what Larry's talking about in his playing. Folksy and rhythmically square but I quite like a bit of that, it works so well with Mulligan, Giuffre and on his own material. Thanks for the insight...

If it'll work for you do it. Presumably that would also gain you credit for other items bought through amazon.co.uk.

I've seen him live a number of times most memorably with Carla Bley and Steve Swallow. Another occasion was as part of George Russel's Living Time Orchestra which sounded big , confusing and ever so clever.

Jim , I get a modest number of CDs through amazon.co.uk market place sellers. If I click through using the amazon.com link provided will such purchases credit your account

That's the only Sheppard I've got " 66 shades of lipstick", , quite an acquired taste if I remember, freely improvised pieces, fine for 12mins or so and the my concentration waned. Haven't played it in many years, so I guess I don't like it.

David Berkman has some excellent disc on Palmetto

It's all pretty confusing. I can honestly say that out of the 2000 odd CDs I have very few sound bad, differences certainly, but not bad or anywhere near unlistenable. I am amazed that the damned 80s CD sound as good as they do and have upgraded very few as I'd rather hear some other recording that I've never heard than repurchase. LPs, RVGs, McMasters all generally sound excellent. Whilst I love LPs they were/are very inconsistent, much more so than CDs. I just dont see the point in much of the argument going on here. It's the music that matters.....
