kh1958

An my birthday always transitions into "Happy Birthday Charlie Parker!"

Thanks very much.

Thanks, I didn't realize there were that many--I was just listening to Hold On, I'm Comin' recently--Sonny Sharrock with David Newman, what a band.

Does anyone have a list of all the Herbie Mann recordings featuring Sonny Sharrock?

The blog looks very interesting, but the white print on a black background format is difficult to read for very long.

Visions of Dawn is enjoyable and recommended.

This sounds like a job for Uptown Records.

Stanley Turrentine--Never Let Me Go (Blue Note, mono, NY USA) Eddie Lockjaw Davis--The Heavy Hitter (Muse)

Happy birthday!

Gene Krupa Trio--Jazz at the Philharmonic (Clef, trumpet label)

I have four: Horace Silver's Filthy McNasty (45-1817), Ike Quebec, Shu Shu/Liebestraum (45-1875). Both of these have a solid blue label with a 43 W.61st Street Address. Art Blakey's Moanin (45-1735), Cannonball Adderley, Somthin' Else (45-1738). The latter two have blue and white labels, with A Division of Liberty Records on the label.

Don Byas and Slam Stewart (Commodore)

Where is it located?

That is a function of a variety of several factors: 1. The greatness of the artist (in your personal view). 2. The length of time one has admired the artist. 3. The size of their recorded discography. 4. The rarity of their work. 5. Whether the quality of the artist's work is maintained over their entire career. For a truly great artist and I have admired over a long period of time, I would probably have all or substantially all of their work, unless their discography is too enormous (e.g., Duke Ellington), or difficult to obtain (a factor that tends to become less of a factor over a longer period of time), or the artist was in decline at some period in their career.

The first side of Bright Moments has long been a favorite. And that tenor version of If I Loved You is a tour de force. It would be great if there were tapes of the whole engagement and a Roland Kirk at the Keystone Korner box set, but I guess that's fat chance at this point.

There is Freedom Now Suite, originally on Candid, with Max Roach as the leader. And there is the Sonny Rollins recording, Freedom Suite, on Riverside, with Max Roach on drums. The subject of the thread is the former, not the latter?

I have a copy of the 1980 Columbia Records reissue of Freedom Now Suite.

I have that one on the British Affinity label. Nice record! Yes, a fine group--with Charlie Mariano, Walter Norris, Stan Levy, and Max Bennett.

I really like those old Capitol LPs (turquoise label and rainbow labels with the logo on the left), but I couldn't find any mono/stereo duplicates in my collection--in fact, I don't have any turquoise label stereos.

I saw Michel Camillo a couple of times at the Caravan of Dreams years ago--with Paquito D'Rivera and leading his own trio--and really enjoyed his playing. I have a few recordings and like them but haven't kept up very well. I would be eager to see him again.

Frank Rosolino--Frankly Speaking (Capitol, turquoise label)

Kenton Showcase, The Music of Bill Russo (Capitol ten inch) Terry Gibbs--Take It From Me (Impulse, red and black stereo)

Just 3 pianos? I couldn't figure that out for sure. This is part of an otherwise uninspiring Larry Rosen produced series (Ramsey Lewis and Manhattan Transfer also have concerts).

At the new Dallas Center for the Performing Arts: MARCH 3, 2010: PIANO LATINO EDDIE PALMIERI, MICHEL CAMILO AND ALFREDO RODRIGUEZ Eddie Palmieri…with a career honored by nine Grammy Awards, the legendary pianist thrills audiences throughout the world with his unique style, charismatic power and bold innovative drive.
