kh1958

It's great news that this team will restore more early jazz recordings.

Thomas Chapin Trio--Nightbird Song, Ride, Menagerie Dreams and Skypiece.

Tell ya' what let's do - let's pick Wynton up at the airport, highjack his ass outta that bunch, and take him to someplace where... I wonder if he writes his own press releases.

Oops, I forgot one... Wynton Marsalis and The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra September 19 Meyerson Symphony Center Wynton Marsalis has been described as the most outstanding jazz musician and trumpeter of his generation, and for one-night-only, he will perform at the Meyerson with The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Don't miss one of the world's top composers, big band leaders, and classical musicians.

Riverside History of Classic Jazz (only $8.99 for 3 disc set from Newbury Comics on amazon).

Earl's Backroom and Cozy's Caravan--Earl Hines Quartet and Cozy Cole Septet (Felsted)--My very lucky find of the week, in excellent shape--two fabulous sessions from 1958, one side each.

Tell ya' what let's do - let's pick Moody up at the airport, highjack his ass outta that bunch, and take him to someplace where him & Marchel can play all night with Roger Boykin, Lyles West, & The Sheriff. That I would go see. Who's the Sheriff?

King Curtis a New York sax blaster? I thought he was from Fort Worth.

Me, too. Are these two the first time released? I just saw a used LP for sale of the Peterson/Stitt/Eldridge.

On LP: Eddie Condon All Stars (with Rex Stewart and Bud Freeman)--Tiger Rag--World Pacific (1960) Earl Hines/Cozy Cole--Earl's Backroom and Cozy's Caravan--Felsted (1958). On CD: Coleman Hawkins in the '50s--Body and Soul Revisited Atlas Blues Explosion

I had the opportunity to see him at the Village Vanguard once. McCoy Tyner was playing just down the street at Sweet Basil. It was hard to pass by McCoy, but I had seen him a number of times recently, so I thought I'll give Michel Pettruciani a try, plus it's the VV. I was out of there after one set, heading down to Sweet Basil where McCoy played a thrilling second set, lamenting that I had missed the first one.

No kidding, especially if the sound were magically better! I found the Birdland CDRs to be mostly of such poor sound quality that I had trouble listening to them. It seems puzzling that Charlie Parker broadcasts from the late 1940s have better sound. Perhaps these were several generations of copies from the source material?

It is worth buying, in my opinion, particularly for the live tracks.

I ordered it, the set looks good to me.

Lovie Austin 1924-26 (Classics) Stan Getz and Lionel Hampton--Hamp and Getz.

31 sets (plus 2 in the mail) 8 selects (plus 1 in the mail)

There aren't very many recordings of Monk with a larger group, so the West Coast guys could make for an interesting concert. But I have never heard of Rouse on alto with Monk. The same musicians also augmented the Mingus group on Mingus at Monterey (also from 1964).

The one time I had a similar issue I filed a fraud complaint with ebay, and the item miraculously arrived quite promptly.

Both lots sold to the same bidder, with zero feedback. There was only one bidder.
