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.

Hank Mobley--No Room for Squires

Sonny Clark--Hoppin' and Skippin' Lee Morgan--Search for the New Apartment Donald Byrd--Toilet Flush

Eric Dolphy--Out to Brunch Art Blakey--Whimperin'

John Coltrane--Pink Trane Dexter Gordon--Our Man in Paris, Texas

I wouldn't miss a chance to see McCoy or the wonderful Charnett Moffett. In fact, they are playing in Austin next month and I'm planning on driving (about 200 miles) to see him.

Dallas only has one egomaniacal receiver whining for the ball--the rest of them are all unselfish and team oriented. It is however rather difficult to disagree with your avatar in the room.

I disagree with you for the most part. There are still plenty of interesting creative jazz musicians, albeit there are lots more boring clones as you state. You just have to work harder to find them, unlike the past when it now seems like there was a giant on every street corner.

Unless the plane takes you back to pre-1970 Donald Byrd, you are going to be very disappointed. He lost his "chops" a long time ago.

Prime Time played three two or three night engagements circa 1983-86 at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth. They also played live music for a very bad play in the Caravan's theater (the music was great, however, I wish there were a soundtrack recording). Ornette also played there with Pat Metheny/Charlie Haden/Denardo for a one night engagement. And he played a set with the Charles Moffett Family Jazz Band. I feel very lucky to have seen around 14 or so sets of Ornette in an intimate setting.

Herbie Nichols Trio (Blue Note, Japanese pressing).

Prime Time was no different from Ornette's other music, it was just louder. The group was actually closer to Free Jazz than to rock, a double trio with Ornette in the middle. The group with Bern Nix, Charles Ellerbee, Jamaladeen Tacuma, Albert McDowell, Denardo and one other drummer is one of the greatest groups I've seen in my life. When they played a set that worked, they were devastating, dense, multilayered, complex, overwhelming. The recordings do not match the live experience in a small club.

I've seen him live at least three times--a great evening of music with Mal Waldron and Reggie Workman at the Village Vanguard, another nice group with Geri Allen and Chico Freeman at Jazz Standard, and then about a month or so ago at Merkin Hall, in a quartet led by Dave Douglas, with Henry Grimes and J.D. Allen on tenor, then that same evening a double quartet (Roy Campbell led the other group with William Parker, Mixashawn, and Hamid Drake) performing Don Cherry's A Symphony for Improvisers. The Mal Waldron Trio was an unforgettable concert, and the Don Cherry tribute concert was thrilling.

Don't Let It Happen Here, also from the Monterey performance, is on the Monterey Jazz Festival Anthology.

Well, yes, you should get all the Art Pepper Contemporarys before delving into low-fi live recordings. This one even has Art playing Ornette Coleman's Tears Inside.

Smack Up probably would have been a better choice, even if you had to break a $20.
