The Lord online discography only has the album title and does not have a tracks list. Personnel identified as Dave 'Baby Cortez', organ, George Benson, guitar and Earl Williams, drums. Recording date given as 'prob. c. 1976'. Looks like you picked a rather unusual item!

The dialogue came from the pen of Delfeil de Ton, a witty politic (and jazz) writer who was a great supporter of Sun Ra's music. DDT (as he is known) still writes a political column in the top French weekly 'Le Nouvel Observateur'. His column is a must read item in each week's Nouvel Obs'. DDT has never recovered from the loss of Sun Ra! That 'Sun Ra At the Gibus' originally came out on Atlantic France!

Frank Rosolino 'Thinking About You' (Sackville)

Those two Pretoria trio sessions are fine. The two live albums from the Futura catalogue are highly recommended also if you are able to find the CD 'Rencontre' he recorded for Sony (with Ira Coleman and Joe Chambers), a long OOP session Arvanitas was a vastly underrated pianist. One of his problem probably was that Arvanitas looked more like a modest bank clerk than what people expect a jazz musician to look like. But an oustanding pianist he was!

Over the Rainbow (Art Tatum) If You Want the Rainbow, You Must Haver the Rain (Clarence Williams) Rainbow Dreams (Eddie Lang) Rainbow Mist (Coleman Hawkins) Rainbow Man (Earl Klugh) Next up: PASSION

Allen, have not heard this yet but there is something wrong with the personnel you quote. The Wheatstraw session was recorded on November 25, 1941 but Chu Berry died on October 30, 1941 from a car crash injuries.

Yes, the Paris Jazz Corner auction catalogue was a copy of the Arvanitas front cover. The Arvanitas Soul Jazz front cover was a copy of a full page ad from Prestige Records which appeared in the August 18, 1960 issue of Down Beat. Same vertical letters and exact copy of the letter designs. The ad was headlined 'PRESTIGE PRESENTS MUSIC FROM THE SOUL!' (with the same lettering). Nice session by the way (from what I remember).

The very rare album 'Soul Jazz' that Georges Arvanitas recorded in 1960 for French Columbia is currently being reissued twice. The album sells for $hundreds whenever a good original copy appears. Both reissues claim to be from the original masters. First one (and expensive) from Atelier Sawano Second one (and cheaper) from Vadim Music I have not listened to these reissues yet.

Currently watching on Mezzo TV a 1987 concert in Lugano, Switzerland, of the Wayne Shorter group with Jim Beard, Carl James, Marilyn Mazur, Terri Lyne Carrington. Open air evening concert of the city main square. Not my favorite Wayne Shorter group.

This does not belong to the Mosaic thread but nevertheless it sounds interesting... From The Boston Globe today: The Mosaic Project

The Four Brothers '... Together Again! (Vik, mono)

Missed his TV career but I was a fan of his film appearances, as with Henry Fonda in 'Ox Bow Incident' and in 'Bend of the River' (with James Stewart) and in numerous other films.
