Brew Moore 'Brew's Stockholm Dew' (Sonet)

Merci beaucoup. Great to get new material from Lucky Thompson!

This is the reported content of the Coda 4CD set, all by the Oscar Peterson Trio - Carnegie Hall, September 13, 1952 - Carnegie Hall, September 19, 1953 - Hartford, September 17, 1954 - Chicago Opera House, October 2, 1955 - Stratford, August 7, 1956 - Hollywood Bowl, August 15, 1956 - Newport, July 7, 1957 - Chicago Opera House, September 29, 1957 (aka 'at the Concertgebouw') - LA Shrine Auditorium, October 9, 1957 (aka 'at te Opera House') - Toronto Town Tavern, July 5, 1958 (aka 'On the Town')

The set looks good and seems professionally conceived. A look at the other items from the Coda catalogue shows it is a serious operation. Ubu asked: Would this include the CBC live releases? I am not aware of any pre-1958 Peterson release from CBC. Are there any?

Have a Very Happy Birthday :party:

The Mosaic box was the studio recordings, here is a non-Mosaic box with the OP Trio live concerts recordings from 1952 to 1958, a 4CD box The box seems to be the first music release from Editions Coda, a specialized Paris-based publisher (apologies to non-french reading people)!

Dannie Richmond 'Jazz A Confronto' (Horo) with Jack Walrath, George Adams, Don Pullen, etc...

Widely available from Amazon.fr at reasonable prices!

Since Verve sat on this material for much too long, the best way to listen to the music so far was this double CD from Spain's Definitive label that came out under Bob Brookmeyer's name

Isn't malapropisms derived from the french mal à propos (inappropriate)?

Johnny Mercer Select, disc 3

Horace Silver 'Silver's Serenade' (BN, mono, NY label, RVG stamp and ear) Wanted to compare this to the McMaster CD release which I listened to and which left me so disappointed. No comparison! The CD sounded flat and missed all the sharp outbursts of Louis Hayes' drumming or the deep mellow fingering from the bass of Gene Taylor that I remembered so well from numerous listening of that mono LP!

From the NY/Region Section of The New York Times.

Sonny Rollins 'The Cutting Edge (Milestone)

Yes, planning to go to the Fondation Cartier (built on the site of the American Center where I attended many jazz concerts in the 60s, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Marion Brown, Anthony Braxton, Jeanne Lee, etc...)

Can hardly imagine the terrible time you and your family are going through. My most sincere condolences.

This should be a pretty interesting evening... Pour Albert Ayler Joe McPhee, Evan Parker, Michel Portal, Archie Shepp, Alan Silva, John Tchicai are among the musicians scheduled to appear!
