It actually says March 8; so bad typo by me.

The Blue Note ad in the new issue of Jazz Times lists Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Just Coolin', described as an unreleased Van Gelder recording from March 11, 1959 with Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, Bobby Timmons and Jamie Merritt. Six songs; two previously unissued compositions (Quick Trick and Jimerick). No release date is specified.

I do recollect that when I was in college and, based on my Mingus obsession, trying to understand Ellington, I had a copy of the Afro-Eurasian Eclipse and the Prestige issue of his 1943 Carnegie Hall concert. The combination of the Chinoiserie and Acht O'clock Rock on Afro-Eurasian Eclipse, and the side of Strayhorn compositions from the 1943 concert (ranging from Johnny Come Lately to the bleak Dirge), opened the Ellington door fully wide for me. Dynasty, I found a used copy at the long-gone Collector's Records and loved it from the first moment.

Interview with Wiener Zeitung "The Munich musician has played with Friedrich Gulda and is now transferring jazz to the church organ," reports the Wiener Zeitung and begins a recently made interview with the musician with a brief description: "Nobody uninhibited the drawbars so charmingly and tracts the manuals consistently well in a good mood as this charming jazz lady. Barbara Dennerlein guarantees the highest quality with her mixture of blues-soaked ballads and fiery up-tempo numbers. Sometimes the 55-year-old switches to the church organ. As the most successful jazz export, the award-winning Munich artist is just as familiar with the large international festival stages like the clubs: the "Blue Note" and the "Sweet Basil" in New York. She has been composing since the beginning of her career. In her studio near Munich, the "Wiener Zeitung" spoke to the thoroughbred musician. " Wiener Zeitung: Ms. Dennerlein, how did you initially feel as a woman in the men's world of jazz? Barbara Dennerlein: It is true that in my youth I was often on my own. It is hard when, as a young girl, you remain on stage with your instrument weighing several hundred kilos after the concert and nobody helps you to take it down. But it also strengthened and made me confident. In addition, I was always the band leader and I got pretty harsh comments from the older musicians. Someone e. g. wanted to tell me that my composition was nonsense because a musician would never join in after a solo. When he couldn't assert himself with it, he stormed off the rehearsals. You are certainly one of the best jazz musicians in the world on the legendary Hammond B3. What do you love about your instrument? It is this special sound that I have developed with my instrument over the decades. But I also have to say: a solo concert challenges me. I have to be in good condition because playing with hands and feet takes a lot of strength. Sometimes I'm really hanging in the air at an angle. I like to compare my playing technique with dance, where you don't think about every movement. In order to be able to operate the pedals with my feet well, I have special shoes, jazz dance shoes. The B3 Hammond is a monster. Lugging the bulky and 200 kilograms heavy keyboard instrument with a strong character is not easy. Yes, I heard often enough in my early days: "Hey, girl, what do you do with the dingbat? Why don't you just play the piano?" How did a young girl in the 1970s get involved with this powerful Hammond? That was by chance. When I was eleven, my grandfather found that a child should learn an instrument. And my father, who had studied piano at the Conservatory for a while, was afraid that my grandfather would buy me a recorder and he would have to listen to me on Christmas Eve. But then there was a small electronic organ under the Christmas tree. And I was totally thrilled. I played Christmas carols by ear, in two voices, and my father recorded them. I then had a teacher, Paul Greisel, who had a Hammond organ. And where does your enthusiasm for jazz come from? My father is has always been an absolute jazz fan. He had to leave the conservatory because he absolutely wanted to play jazz and boogie. He also loves the Hammond organ. He had records from Shirley Scott, Ingfried Hoffmann, one of the leading jazz organists in Europe, founding member of the legendary Klaus Doldinger Quartet, and of course from Jimmy Smith. He also secretly thought that if I don't like my Christmas present, he would play on it. For me, jazz is simply the most honest music. You also played with Friedrich Gulda, the enfant terrible of the classical scene and a cross-border jazz player. How did that happen? He attended one of my concerts in Vienna's "Jazzland" and talked to me during the break. With him, who managed to create a connection between classical and jazz across all style and genre boundaries, I played in a wide variety of line-ups from duo to symphony orchestra, such as the Munich Philharmonic and Vienna Symphony Orchestra. I admired him for having the courage to bring jazz to classic concert halls. And of course for his musical genius. He never compromised with his music. I particularly remember a concert with him and Joe Zawinul, the Zawinul syndicate. The fact that he died on Mozart's birthday is like magic. Because he really wanted it that way. One of my favourite albums is the double CD "Mozart No End", a live recording of our concerts in Vienna and Munich. You are the first musician to also plays jazz on a church organ. Were there critical voices? Even from the side of classical music people, I only hear positive things. They admire how you can get this rhythm out of the organ and how this constant bass pedal playing works. From the beginning I wrote special pieces for my church concerts, which are on my CD's "Spiritual Movement No. 1" and "Spiritual Movement No. 2". You have your own label, produce yourself, manage yourself. Isn't that exhausting? That is how it developed. I founded the label in 1985 to produce my first record. I always kept it, even when I had contracts with Enya and Verve, because you can do your own thing. When I graduated from high school, I went on tour and organized everything myself. Later I also had agencies, but often something went wrong. One of them even forgot to inform me that they had arranged a gig at a jazz festival. They secretly paid the penalty for this. I only found out about it when fans approached me later. I couldn't heal it anymore. The organizer never spoke to me again. What helps you relax? I love the nature. Long walks with my little dog Emilia, who is incredibly playful. She accompanies me on my trips. But US tours have become annoying because the procedure for entry is becoming increasingly degrading and America under Trump is less fun. https://www.wienerzeitung.at/nachrichten/kultur/pop-rock-jazz/2046675-Barbara-Dennerlein-Koenigin-der-Hammondorgel.html
