kh1958

Rip Rig and Panic = Jaki Byard Experience minus Alan Dawson plus Elvin Jones.

Rip, Rig and Panic, and I Talk With Sprits are on Limelight, and those are two of his best albums.

Their domestic shipping is also high ($4.95 for one CD); so I'll wait and use amazon.com.

Stan Getz and J.J. Johnson at the Opera House (Verve)

Dance with Kid Ory or Just Listen (Verve)

Cannonball Adderley Live at the Lighthouse (Riverside, Fontana pressing)

The Elmore James box set is great. http://www.acerecords.co.uk/content.php?page_id=59&release=7530

Three of my earliest jazz LP purchases (around 1973-74) that hooked me were anthologies: The Best of John Coltrane (Atlantic) Miles Davis, Basic Miles (Columbia), and The Best of Cannonball Adderley (Capitol).

Gleam came in the mail yesterday, and I really enjoyed it on first listen; Freddie is in tip top form. This is the same group that I saw live around the same time here in Dallas (without the conga player).

kh, This one is a sentimental favorite of mine that I got when it was new when I was in college. A few years back Pat Martino was a regular at AAJ, and I asked him if it was available on CD. He said that it was, by ordering from Eric. Perhaps you can do a search at AAJ and find the thread with the URL where to order it. I found the Pat Martino thread at all about jazz and followed his instructions but they don't work any more.

Eric Kloss--Life Force (Prestige). As good as in the Land of the Giants, but not on CD.

Michael White--Pneuma (Impulse promo)

The Moffett Family Jazz Band. Father and four sons.

Stan Getz Plays (Verve)

Albert Dailey--The Day After the Dawn (Columbia) Mary Lou Williams (Contemporary ten inch)

There are generally rather slim jazz pickings in Dallas-Fort Worth. On July 7, Ronald Shannon Jackson will make a rare appearance at the Kessler Theater in Oak Cliff. The Rebirth Jazz Band is playing at the Kessler on May 11. On May 20 and June 17, board members Jim Sangrey and Greg Waits appear at the Free Man in Deep Ellum. For CDs, CD Source on Greenville Avenue has a fairly large jazz stock (used). The flagship Half Price Books outlet on Northwest Highway is also worth checking out for used jazz CDs and LPs.

I am a big fan and was lucky enough to see him live on numerous occasions. He was always good, without fail. As for recommendations, there's a CD compilation of his two Muse albums, Lone Star Legend. A little less straightahead, but his playing on the Atlantic release Newmanism is some of his most intense on record. There's a nice date where he's paired with Clifford Jordan called Bluehead. One of his appearances at the Caravan of Dreams was released on a record called Texas Jazz Reunion (with James Clay, Hog Cooper and Cornell Dupree). Any and all of the High Note releases are worthwhile. In my favorite live experience with David Newman, he was partnered with organist Leon Spencer at the Caravan of Dreams. The sets were electrifying, but apparently not recorded. In his last appearance at the Caravan, he led a band with the very young Roy Hargrove, Larry Willis, Walter Booker and Idris Muhammad--they were recording but it was never released.

Me too (ordered that is). Amazon lists it as not available until June 12.

Earl Hines Plays Fats Waller (Fantasy red vinyl) Etta Jones, Love Shout (Prestige, black and silver label)
