kh1958

I saw the Gil Evans ghost band at Sweet Basil a couple of times when they still played every Monday night and it was thrilling. I have the Tribute to Gil Soul Note CD and would be willing to make a copy of the notes but, those Soul Note CD liner notes are not user friendly--the fonts are often so small that I suspect a copy would be illegible. I will check on it though, but you would probably have a better prospect with someone who has the LP.

My first order from a seller in Lithuania.

I've never heard of this Thomas Chapin recording--do you know if it is available or a hopeless obscurity? Just issued for the first time this year - totally killer. No Business website. Thank you for bringing this to my attention--ordered.

In the mail came, Matana Roberts, Live in London Shimrit Shoshan, Keep It Movin' Evan Weiss, Math or Magic, and Art Pepper, The Art History Project, unrelaesed art vol. 4

Is this still on tonight?

Gary Burton, New Vibe Man in Town (RCA black dog mono) Stan Getz, Cool Velvet (Verve trumpet mono)

After receiving Coin Coin this week, listening to the CD three times yesterday (and liking it very much), I ordered Live in London today.

The website has the history of the labels here: http://www.jazzology.com/jazzbeat.php?id=73

You had no clue? Yet you knew this was a '70s recording? I don't know, I want to trust you... But somewhere out there is the unreleased tape of Hank Mobley Plays Saturday Night Fever...

J. J. Johnson--Dial JJ5 (Columbia six eyes) Count Basie Classics (Columbia six eyes) Dave Brubeck--Brubeck Time (Columbia, red label)

Oliver Nelson Big Band, Live in Los Angeles (Impulse, orange and black) Louis Armstrong, Hot Fives, Volume 1 (Columbia two eyes).

I don't know--both recordings are great; I found them enthralling from first listen--in the case of the Candids, I first heard them on a '70s Barnaby reissue--both LPs were stuffed into a single sleeve. Antibes was a pleasant surprise when it was released (in the late 1970s)--I went to a record store to browse and there it was--oh boy!

I'll mail a check on Tuesday.

Last night at Poor David's Pub, before a meager crowd of about 30, Guitar Shorty. It was a fantastic show--two hour and a half long sets. Shorty has not slowed down in the least and sounded amazing, with a fine backup band (guitar, bass and drums).

In the mail yesterday came, Angola Soundtrack (Analog Africa) Dave Holland and Pepe Habichuela, Hands (Dare2) Down in Black Bottom (Yazoo), and Robert Musso, Absolute Music (Muworks)

Oops, that's what I get for relying on that careless crew of incompetents who do the itunes database.

Okay; I ordered the CD from dustygroove.

Dexter Gordon--A Day in Copenhagen (Prestige/MPS, blue label)

Those three, plus Abbey is Blue, Talking to the Sun, and Max Roach, Karbouda,

I believe the ABC licensed versions of Riverside LPs succeed the Orpheum versions.

For the pieces with Ted Curson, you can get by with just purchasing the CD issues of Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus and Mingus--that's the best material anyway. And also, Mingus at Antibes on Atlantic.
