    Peabo Bryson!

    What have you done with Dancer Chick?
  2. The 1965 Coltrane performance is the real deal--the Quartet playing at an outdoor festival in full intensity. It opens with a Coltrane/Elvin Jones duet--even though recorded in August, it is cold in Belgium--Elvin is emitting waves of steam into the cold air--this piece becomes something resembling Vigil. Followed by a fabulous version of Naima, and finally a dynamic version of My Favorite Things, akin to the Newport version. Intense playing by McCoy; great shots of Jimmy Garrison. Incredible.
  3. I have four versions of the song on my ipod, in addition to the Oliver Nelson version. Roots/Stablemates Jack Wilson Quartet/Ramblin' Booker Ervin/ Structurally Sound Ahmad Jamal/The Awakening.
  4. Duke Ellington--Jazz Party (Columbia six eyes)
  5. Mingus Dynasty (Columbia six eyes)
  6. Oops, I thought the thread poster was the seller. My mistake. It is a worthy disc, I agree.
  7. It's out of print and hard to find--you better make Unk an offer he can't refuse.
  8. Also, I like one with Mulligan I found on LP, Blues Roots.
  9. Bravo Brubeck and Buried Treasures, both recorded at Mexico City concerts in 1967, near the end of the group's existence, are two of the best.
  10. Today was a good LP day: Duke Ellington--Jazz Party (Columbia Six Eyes)--looks unplayed--$8. Modern Jazz Quartet--The Sheriff (Atlantic, blue and green label)--Cover is yellowed, but LP looks unplayed--$8 Chico Hamilton--The Demanding One--Flying Dutchman--also looks unplayed--$10.
  11. There is this website: http://kimparkmusic.com/john_park.htm
  12. No craziness so far, but some cool posters from Slugs (I would have wanted to be there practically every night). http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZjazzrecordcenter
  13. I believe the reference is to various Fantasy/Concord box sets, like the Wes Montgomery and Dexter Gordon, which are on sale. http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Riverside-R...472&sr=1-11 http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Prestige-Re...1774&sr=1-1
  14. Mary Lou Willliams--A Keyboard History (Jazztone).
  15. Oh, to have been there when he read the reply letter.
  16. Coltrane Live at Birdland (impulse, red and black label, Van Gelder).
  17. Yes, they are mainstream. The one without Harrell is the better one, IMO. The recording balance doesn't seem quite right though--too much bass, and not quite enough horns.
  18. I had only heard Radius, when I attended the Vancouver jazz festival in 1993 and heard the trio (with Pavone and Sarin) in a small club--I think the performance started at 1 a.m. That was one of the most incredible jazz performances I've heard in 33 years of jazz obsession. I was able to see him two more times--with a different group at the Knitting Factory (Pavone and a second bassist, plus Reggie Nicholson on drums), and the trio again, near the end of his life.
  19. No, wasn't aware of that one. Also "Radius" (an early one from the 80s listed on the site) I don't have, neither do I have the two albums he did for one of those mainstream labels (was it Arabesque?) - how are those? Probably too tame for my liking? Radius was originally on the Mu label (copies turn up on ebay)--it's a fine recording. I didn't care for the Arabesque records when released, but the passage of time has changed my views. I also have an LP called Spirits Rebellious from 1988 on the Alacra label, which the liner notes say is his second release on the label--that is quite good.

  21. So you have to get up with these and flip them over every 8 or 10 minutes?
  22. Paul Bollenback turned out to be a good guitarist--plus he had Gary Thomas and Victor Lewis in his band. Also Ed Howard on bass and vocalist Chris Mcnulty. I was wondering why UTD seems to be the only college in Dallas regularly presenting jazz concerts--it appears the Dean of the college is a jazz fan--he introduced the concert and was actually sitting and attentively listening to the concert. Eastfield used to present jazz concerts years ago--I actually saw Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie and Henry Butler there, in Mesquite of all places.
  23. "They" will still be able to find you.
  24. Herbie Mann--Yardbird Suite (Savoy)--a really nice sounding LP.
  25. Michael Vick's cellmate?
