kh1958

His three most recent recordings are on Savoy. In What Language was on Pi.

He's on Savoy.

The prices at that store on Bleeker Street sure seem higher.

Actually--their prices on CDs are better than the usual retail outlets in alot of cases--many CDs are $10--the Classics label is only $13, for example (the best price I've ever found in the U.S). And they also have vintage LPs that are reasonably priced--I bought five 60s era Prestige and Riversides for only $15 each, for example. They also have the best collection of jazz books and discographies I've ever seen.

I've been there--a great store. In fact, on my last trip to New York, I went three times. It is a little hard to find if you haven't been there before (it's closer to 8th Avenue and on the 8th floor, with no exterior sign).

That is puzzling--his music seems the opposite of ECMish. The duet album with Rudresh Mahanthappa, Raw Materials, is quite good. His new one is another experimental collaboration with Mike Ladd, Still Life with Commentator.

Well I have certainly been doing my best lately....as you well know! kh1958 ....you haven't been doing so bad yourself lately..Glad to see your are following your own advice there!!! Yes, Friday after reading this I had to take the precaution of acquiring Joe Henderson, Relaxin' at Camarillo, Johnny Griffin, Return of the Griffin, Ernie Henry, Last Chorus, and Roy Eldridge, What It's All About.

Gene Ammons--Jungle Soul (Prestige)

Land of the Sun is a very nice disc. I've been lucky enough to see Charlie Haden live four times--in a quartet led by Joe Henderson (Al Foster on drums), Endangered Species with Ornette, Pat Metheny and Denardo, a duet with Paul Bley, and the group featured on Nocturnes, with Gonzalo Rubalcaba.

I have Twilight Time and the Free Will, both on LP. I saw him live at the Caravan of Dreams, back in 1988.

I certainly hope this is not true--Iron Mountain is a paper file storage company. What kind of idiot would entrust these precious master tapes to that company? I have been following Steve Hoffman's advice for some time, however: "I've said it before but I'll say it again: If I were you all I would buy every OJC Jazz CD I could get my hands on."

When I was at the Downtown Music Gallery a couple of weeks ago, they had a large stock of Black Saint/Soul Note CDs--for $16 each or five or more for $15 each. http://www.downtownmusicgallery.com/Main/index.htm

The Steve Kuhn is better than the Charles Tolliver release, in my opinion. (Unlike a lot of the opinion I saw expressed, I was lukewarm on the Tolliver CD--the Kuhn is a very nice trio release.)

This is included in the Art Pepper Hollywood All-Stars box set (at least the cuts with Art Pepper on them). The five CD set is currently only $50 at amazon.com and is well worth it.

They've added the recent Blue Note releases of Steve Kuhn and Charles Tolliver, and the Horace Silver RVG You've Got to Take a Little Love.

How is the vinyl selection at Jazz Record Center these days? Any nice stuff? Sure, they had some nice rare and expensive records, but the stock seemed a little depleted to me. The ones I bought were only $15 each, so I was pretty happy.

This morning I started off listening to Art Blakey's Kyoto on Riverside. This was an Orpheum Productions pressing, and I didn't like the sound of it at all. Then I tried Cannonball Adderley's Jazz Workshop Revisited on Riverside--this one was sounded terrific. I wondered if Orpheum Riverside pressings are inferior as a general rule?

Stitt's Prestige LP Soul Electricity is a nice companion to the Left Bank live CD. Also, Freddie Hubbard's High Energy is pretty good.

Wow....NYC...them's some spoiled jazz audiences! I'd kill to see a couple sets of Lonnie on a tuesday night. Yes, me too. The Jazz Standard has excellent sound, and was only a three block walk from my hotel. Peter Bernstein on guitar. The last song of the second set was Back Track from Too Damn Hot--it was unbelievable.

Over the course of a four day trip to New York City (mostly Jazz Record Center, Downtown Music Gallery, and concert sales): CDs-- Onaje Allan Gumbs: Sack Full of Dreams and Remember Their Innocence Sun Ra: Strange Strings Nino Josele: Paz Duke Pearson: Dedication (OJC) Elmo Hope: Sounds from Rikers Island John Patton: Accent on the Blues and Minor Swing Barney Wilen: Moshi James Blood Ulmer: Bad Blood in the City The Blues World of Little Walter (Delmark) New York Jazz Combos 1935-37 (Hep) Skeets Tolbert and His Gentlemen of Swing 1931-40 (Classics) Duke Jordon (Savoy) Chuck Wayne: The Jazz Guitarist (Savoy) On LP: Cannonball Adderley: Jazz Workshop Revisited (Riverside) Coleman Hawkins and the Swingville All Stars: Years Ago (Swingville) Brother Jack McDuff with Gene Ammons: Mellow Gravy (Prestige) Gene Ammons: Jungle Soul (Prestige) Willis Jackson: Loose (Prestige)

I've still got my mono LP, plus the CD release.

Downtown Music Gallery has a box of Strange Strings CDs already, if you are in New York.

Glad to get you on Accent on the Blues. THAT is a killer...sit back and let that one sink in for a loooong time. That's a session that, to my ears, just never gets old. Also you mention Minor Move...do you mean Minor Swing on the DIW label? What's the other Patton session you're missing? Minor Swing on DIW (not the Tina Brooks recording, my mistake). I don't have Memphis to New York Spirit.
