Looks like Mosaic needs more serious proofreaders for their newsletter. Not only do they confuse John Williams but they mispell Norgran records... Stan Getz: The 1953-54 Morgran Studio Sessions (4 Audiophile LPs) (Release Date; May 2011) Even in a career as celebrated and prolific as Stan Getz's, there are pockets of neglected gems that dot the landscape. In the case of Getz, one of those overlooked areas is his 1953-54 Clef Norgan recordings with a working quintet that included valve trombonist Bob Brookmeyeer and pianist Johnny Williams (who later became film composer John Williams). The band recorded several excellent albums for Clef and Norgran during those years, but when Clef and Norgran were phased out and the material was recycled on Verve, the tracks from these recording sessions were scattered over many 12" LPs which combined them with other groups from other sessions and some were forgotten altogether. Pianist Johnny Williams who did not go to Hollywood: That issue of Jazz Journal had him on their cover plus an excellent interview of him!

Roy Haynes 'Cymbalism' (New Jazz/Victor Japan)

Glad you are enjoying the Live au HCF disc. A good one! Will have to really look for that Live 93 CD. A rare one indeed!

He was a great producer! The Jazz Workshop series he produced when he was A&R man at RCA Victor in the '50s remains an outstanding achievement. Jack Lewis name also appears on many of favorite albums from that era.

Same here. I cut down on cybertime a long time ago. I feel I spend too much time at O. I try to live a life in realtime!

Sad! Very sad! Another great actress goes

One of the good thing about Tunisia is that the muslim fundamentalists had a very minor presence in the country. One of the rare arab country where the women have had a strong role and non-veiled presence. Doubt that Morocco will face a fate similar to Tunisia, at least in the next few years! But I would not like to be in Egypt's Mubarak shoes right now!

The Manhattan Jazz All-Stars 'Swinging Guys and Dolls' Columbia, six-eye stereo) with the usual suspects: Teddy Charles, Phil Woods, Bob Brookmeyer, Zoot Sims, Mose Allison, Dave McKenna, Jimmy Raney, Teo Macero, etc...

Yes, yes to 'Musique du Bois' :tup

I was listening recently to the original vinyl release (on King Japan) of the session... ...and it sounded very natural to me.

and quite a number of French elderlies settled there to retire on the cheap and take advantage of the local facilities! Good luck to them!

Frankie Capp/Nat Pierce 'Juggernaut' (Concord) Good big band with strong soloists (Richie Kamuca, Plas Johnson, Blue Mitchell among others)!

Daylight at least appears on the Tunisian skyline. Hope the Night is really over even if I have strong doubts about the country's future. Ben Ali fled the country and left it in shambles with no worthy successor on the horizon!

How did I miss all this A very real discovery!

Yes, it was reissued in the Kaleodoscope Jazz series Concert 12 mars 1952. Click on Concert Pleyel for the CD content!
