kh1958

Barbara Dennerlein's CDs are available in the U.S. from cdbaby.com. I've picked up a couple recently. In a Silent Mood. Very nice solo album. And Spiritual Movement No. 2. This one is amazing, jazz on a giant pipe organ.

Gene Ammons, Live in Chicago (Prestige, blue label), and Jean-Luc Ponty, Critic's Choice (Prestige/MPS, purple label)

Sonny Philips, Black Magic (Prestige, blue label)

No shipping notice for me yet.

I had an email from Smalls that they did not sustain any damage but the power was out.

Happy birthday!

This was the other "new" New Bird release (the version obtainable from amazon is a CDR). http://www.amazon.com/New-Bird-Rare-Recordings-Interviews/dp/B00003Q04S/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1351015933&sr=1-4&keywords=Charlie+Parker+New+Bird

The stray track with Milt Buckner is a nice one. Recently, I've stumbled across a couple of Bird CDs containing broadcast material of good quality that I haven't heard. Here's one of them. http://www.amazon.com/Live-Sessions-Charlie-Parker/dp/B005QD0ULK/ref=sr_1_56?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1351008476&sr=1-56&keywords=Charlie+Parker+Live

The Massey Hall concert was on May 15, and there are a couple of excellent quartet studio dates in the temporal vicinity for Norman Granz: the date which produced Chi Chi, Now's the Time and Confirmation was on July 28, and there was a December 30, 1952 date which produced Kim and Cosmic Rays.

Mick Taylor was scheduled to play here in Dallas a couple of years ago; the concert was cancelled for unspecified health reasons.

The small group tracks added on the CD reissue have some incredible Bird.

This morning, Yusef Lateef, Other Sounds (New Jazz mono). And, Gene Ammons, Jug (Prestige, yellow and black label, mono).

Art Blakey, Indestructible (Blue Note mono, NY USA)

His post-Stones discography is pretty meager. This one is off the beaten path and pretty good: Miyuki/Mick and I http://www.amazon.com/Mick-I-Miyuki/dp/B0000659PV/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1350751366&sr=1-2&keywords=Mick+and+I+Mick+Taylor

Mark Gross hasn't recorded very much (his new CD comes out next month), but you are in for a treat hearing him.

There's a current sale on TCB titles here: http://www.allegro-music.com/label_search.asp?label=TCB

Skies of America was performed by Ornette and Prime Time with the Fort Worth Symphony in the fall of 1983 (filmed excerpts in Shirley Clarke's Ornette: Made in America). Somewhere out there is a motherlode of tape of Ornette and Prime Time Live at the Caravan of Dreams.
