Priestley's Mingus biography says the 10 piece group performed at the Village Vanguard from November 27 to December 19, 1962. The club only paid Mingus for a sextet. The group also performed in February at Carnegie Hall in a benefit concert (Dannie Richmond was a no show). Otherwise, the book says Mingus was inactive public-appearance wise until August.

The two LPs are pretty rare, I believe. Here's the only auction I could find. http://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4016920637

It's a blasphemy in my book. Yes, you're not getting into jazz heaven (the bebop wing anyway) if you don't love Max.

Can Britney even make her own crap sell 1 million any more? Maybe worldwide, but not domestic US. I'm not really up on such things, but got the impression she jumped the shark a few years ago. She ate the shark.

The one under Dannie Richmond's name, which also has Adams and Pullen, as well as Jack Walrath, is a really good one as well.

Why? A drum solo with every song is really boring, in my opinion. Drum solos in jazz, as a general rule, should occur only in moderation.

Any drummer, other than a certifiable jazz giant, who takes more than one solo per set.

Doesn't she know about the organissimo board groupies who constantly proposition the denizens of this site?

Who has a link to a Britney discography?

I have all the Horo George Adams, Don Pullen, and Dannie Richmond releases--and all are good.

December 6 at the Granada Theater in Dallas--Al Dimeola

The Dallas Tower remains pretty well stocked. They are at 30% off for CDs at present. I couldn't resist the new Sonny Stitt Bebop Recordings box set from Concord for just over $19, as well as the Lenny Bruce box set.

Thanks. I seem to remember hearing radio shows on local public radio back in the 1970s where they were playing unreleased Dick and Kiz Harp recordings. I wonder what happened to those tapes?

I have an ESP-Disc LP from 1973, volume 1 of 6 volumes of broadcasts from the Royal Roost, Bud with Roy Haynes and Oscar Pettiford--from Feb. 7 and Feb. 14, 1953. The cover has no information but rather features a collage in which there is a dog with the head of a man--the disc is on clear yellow vinyl--the B side label has a floating man with the head of a bird. The back cover explains that this is from the Boris Rose collection, and there is also a 14 volume series of Charlie Parker broadcasts, and three volumes of Billie Holiday broadcasts. I wonder how many of these were actually released?

I happened to find one of the LPs in a Half Price Books recently. Strangely enough, the jacket is for At the 90th Floor Again, while the LP is At the 90th Floor. I must say, while this style is not normally one that appeals to me, there is something appealing about this music. I quite like Kiz' vocals, and she and Dick Harp are true musical partners. The version of Angel Eyes is now easily my favorite vocal version of this song. I tried to buy the two reissue CDs at the label's website, but I could never get any email answer from the site, which accepted only paypal. Kind of frustrating.

If I recall correctly, Father and Son was released by the original Candid on an anthology. This is the song that has stuck with me from this recording.

I never even noticed that Mosaic boxes were easily damaged. I keep all the CDs/LPs and booklets in the original Mosaic boxes, stored vertically on a book shelf.
