Dinah Washington Complete on Mercury, Volume 4 '1954-1956' (Mercury Japan)

Did not realize that this session (with Jerry Hurwitz/Lloyd) was not reissued as part of the Vogue/BMG Digipak series. Glad I kept its 'Cohn's Delight' appearance. That one: Pretty hard to find these days! mjzee asked: How's the sound on the Vogue digipaks? Pretty good! And better than the sound from the non-Japanese reissues.

That one: I aso have a couple of Boris Rose recordings of the Tadd Dameron ensembles at Royal Roost. One came out on a Ult-Tadd label, the other on a Sneaker Records label. Wish I too had been invited to have a look at that Boris Rose place

To keep that Contemporary spirit, now spinning: Shelly Manne and his Friends 'Li'l Abner (Contemporary, mono) Sound by Roy DuNann, cover photo by William Claxton, cover design by Robert Guidi/Tri-Arts

After the success of the jazz version of 'My Fair Lady', Contemporary and Shelly Manne (plus André Previn) recorded more jazz versions of Broadway musicals:

Great to catch a glimpse from that concert (at Salle Pleyel) which I attended! Thanks for posting it! The video has been recently added, it was not available when I did a search for the Lost Quintet clips a couple of months ago!

Trailers for 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960'... Trailer 1 Trailer 2 Some Monk (with Charlie Rouse) can be heard in the background on both trailers. Kenny Dorham and Kenny Clarke can be seen briefly in the party scene in the first trailer (it's Lee Morgan and Art Blakey actually playing!). It's Boris Vian playing opposite Jeanne Moreau in the second trailer.

Not just my imagination. The cover photo dates from the 50s/60s. I remember those times well. No man would have been caught with a headscarf like that back then

Tommy Flanagan & Kenny Barron 'Together' (Denon)

Yes, saw it as soon as it came out and, even if I did not expect much, was pretty disappointed by the film. But not by the music! Still catching the film when it is being shown on the TV film channels here, mainly to enjoy the Monk music! And also to watch Gérard Philipe and Jeanne Moreau. Also the film is a rare opportunity to enjoy Boris Vian's nonchalant acting!

An earlier thread on the film music. Unfortunately, Marcel Romano passed away in 2007. The Monk music has yet to be released.

271 previously unknown works by Picasso surfaced after being kept for decades in a Riviera garage! From CNN Picasso's son Claude described the collection as of "historic importance". He insists however that the works must have been stolen. This has yet to be proven!
