kh1958

I also really like the Bobby Watson edition of the Messengers, but I've never heard this one. A couple of years ago, I got to see a Bobby Watson led Jazz Messengers reunion band at the Iridium.

A few to add: Lanquidity Nothing Is Mayan Temples Strange Celestial Road Standards

Mississippi John Hurt--Avalon Blues Charlie Haden and Carlos Paredes--Dialogues Sonny Clark--Oakland 1955 Eddie Lockjaw Davis--Afro Jaws.

I like her recordings--That's Me, Take Off, Hot Stuff and Junkanoo. I wish High Note/Savant would sign her and start issuing a steady stream of new ones.

Cannonball Adderley--Nippon Soul (Riverside).

I heard him at the Jazz Gallery a year or two ago, paired with Roy Hargrove--it was a fine night of trumpet. It made me wonder why he has been so sparsely recorded.

I saw Scott Hamilton playing with the George Wein All-Stars at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival years ago--and he was just as boring in person as on record.

Dorothy Ashby--Soft Winds (Jazzland). This pressing sounds terrific.

Me too, $68 out the door. Yes, including tax.

Albert Ayler, The Holy Ghost Box Set, for $63.

Joe's Pizza--very good.

Now that's a book with a wide price range ($0.45 to $108). I opted for a $0.45 copy.

I purchased Tom and Elis this weekend--I like it alot. She sounds wonderful on this recording.

The George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band played at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth years ago--it was a fine concert with a mix of European and American players--Enrico Rava and Lee Konitz were both in the band.

I like to look there anyway--it's a good place to browse for a little while before going to the Village Vanguard, Sweet Rhythm, Smalls, or the 55 Bar.

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.
