kh1958

Oeps! Never seen this album before and I have a few of his albums. It took me until 1996 to find a copy - in a used record shop in somewhat rural NJ, south of Newark. Hard to find. Good luck. MG I have one too.

Milt Jackson, Invitation (Riverside), Kenny Drew Trio, Jazz Impressions of Pal Joey (Riverside), and The Compositions of Tadd Dameron (Riverside).

Zoot Sims, Zoot (Riverside)

Denton, Texas on Sunday at the Denton Blues Festival.

Tonight, Rodney Green group, with Jimmy Greene and Kevin Hays.

Wes Montgomery's version of A Day in the Life is pretty great, despite the strings.

I recall Al Kooper used to post on the AOL jazz board that he was working on a Mike Bloomfield box set, which of course has never come out.

October 18, 2013: In San Antonio at Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center: Iraida Noriega November 1, 2013: in Austin at Frank: Tigran Hamasyan January 31, 2014 in San Antonio at Jo Long Theater: Lonnie Smith February 4, 2014 in San Antonio at Jo Long Theater: Lionel Loueke

And Melissa Aldana wins, Tivon Pennicott second.

I previously noticed that a couple of favorite Smalls regulars/semi-regulars--Melissa Aldana and Tivon Penicott--were among the semifinalists in the 2013 Thelonious Monk saxophone competition. Not surprisingly, last night both of them advanced to the finals (there are three finalists). Congratulations to both.

So I want to go to Paris to buy African music CDs. That's normal, isn't it?

I would give the label a try, but I couldn't find any CDs on Amazon UK or France, only some downloads on the French amazon.

Cedar Walton Trio, Quartet and Quintet, Cedar (Prestige), and Sonny Terry, Sonny is King (Prestige)

I'm mailing a contribution today.

Have a happy birthday.

Ornette Coleman, Town Hall 1962 (ESP-Disk)

Eric Dolphy, Last Date (Limelight)

My 7 preferences would be Jazz Standard, VV, Smalls, Cornelia Street Cafe, Kitano, 55 Bar, and Jazz Gallery.

About the only Larry Coryell vocal that doesn't send me heading for cover is the first song on Fairyland; it's not that the vocal is any good, it's just the band is so good.

Sonny Rollins--Freedom Suite (Riverside, Japanese Victor), and Thelonious Monk in Italy (Riverside).

The Cannonball Adderley Quntet in San Francisco (Riverside mono), Milt Jackson and Wes Montgomery, Bags and Wes (Riverside mono), and Ornette Coleman, New York is Now (Blue Note, dark blue label).

Whatever you call him, he's way better than Branford.

Stereo Impulses usually sound better than mono ones. I don't know, I think with a little patience you could get a very nice copy off of ebay for alot less, particularly if you buy a red/black pressing (I can't hear any difference).

It was quite good, but I seem to have more technical problems with their new YouTube based broadcast. After an excellent first set, the second Ari Hoenig set kept cutting out on me until I gave up. And I was having similar problems with the Eric Revis group with Darius Jones last night.

The original first/second pressings on impulse sound great. Why not get one of those instead?
