kh1958

Gerry Mulligan Quartet (Pacific Jazz 5, ten inch)

Bobby Timmons Trio, Easy Does It (Riverside), and Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All Stars, volume 5 (Contemporary ten inch).

Patti Bown, Big Piano (Columbia), and George Benson, Bad Benson (CTI)

Mose Allison, I Love the Life I Live (Columbia)

Marvin Stamm's playing was pretty much flawless, and as this was a quartet, was present in ample proportions. His tone on flugelhorn was especially gorgeous. He was backed by a local group, including the excellent drummer Andrew Griffin, The program was all standards. Definitely an unusual treat on a Saturday night in North Dallas.

Marvin Stamm at the Kitchen Cafe. Some pretty fine trumpet and flugelhorn playing was on display this evening. And the venue was excellent--very good sound.

Part of my lucky find of the week--15 mostly West Coast jazz ten inch LPs.

Stan Getz, New Sounds In Modern Music, volume 1 (Savoy ten inch), Chet Baker Ensemble (Pacific Jazz ten inch), and Hank Mobley, Hi Voltage (Blue Note, Liberty).

The Galveston hurricane was in 1900.

By miss, do you mean that there was at least one actual opportunity to see the musician live in some reasonable geographic proximity to where you lived and you didn't for whatever reason (invariably a bad reason in hindsight)? By that criteria, Red Garland and Cannonball Adderley stand out for me.

Noting that a couple of touring jazz players perform at the Kitchen Cafe in North Dallas this week--drummer Ali Jackson (and unidentified Friends) and trumpeter Marvin Stamm: Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 7:30 pm Ali Jackson & Friends ($10 cover) Sat, Jun 25, 2016 at 7:30 pm Marvin Stamm Quartet with Ed Soph, Stefan Karlsson & James Driscoll ($20 cover) The Kitchen Café 17370 Preston Rd #415 Dallas, TX 75252

Unfortunately not--close, I have Argo 636 and 638, but 637 has somehow eluded me so far.

Hampton Hawes, I'm All Smiles (Contemporary)

Stan Getz Plays (Verve), and John Coltrane, Concert in Japan (Impulse).

I would add that there is a complete and very fine performance of Gillespiana by Dizzy's Quintet (Leo Wright, Lalo Schriffrin, Art Davis, Chuck Lampkin) from November 25, 1960. Also a set by the Stan Getz Quartet, with the group from his At Large LP; Getz sounds sublime to me, but apparently he was unhappy and fired the group afterwards. And Shelley Manne's Blackhawk quintet (substituting Russ Freeman for Victor Feldman) plays a terrific set. All is well recorded.

That's the Nino Josele material I saw him perform live at the VV (the not yet famous Esperanza Spaulding was on bass) and I do have that one album.

Shirley Scott Trio, Scottie (Prestige)

A Generation Ago Today, from 1967, is excellent. Perhaps never reissued on CD?

Your list is interesting; I'll try to find some of it. I saw Nino Josele live once at the Village Vanguard--I've been meaning to find more of his music, so I've ordered the one you list--Chano Rodriguez & Nino Josele: Chano & Nino [except it's Dominguez not Rodriguez).

Lee Konitz with Warne Marsh (Atlantic)

I haven't been to the Eiseman (so near yet so far), but I keep my hopes up that someday, somehow, I'll want to go there.

You had your chance, but too late now. January 23 Charles W. Eiseman Theatre Richardson,TX

Gigi Gryce/Don Byrd, Jazz Lab (Jubilee), and Pee Wee Russell Quartet, New Groove (Columbia)

Have a Happy Birthday!
