A favorite tune in Sonny Rollins' book during the 60s.
Check his version from the Sonny Rollins in Sweden 1959 concert (with Henry Grimes and Pete LaRoca).
This CD and a second release 'Bill Evans Practice Tape no. 1' was put out by Bill's son Evan Evans.
For Bill Evans fanatics only. Not that they're bad, there are pretty good moments but it's all early stuff and I am not sure the artist would have approved his son's decision to put out these private tapes.
Harvey Pekar's review of the initial E3 release.
No idea if there were other CDs in this series (Pekar mentions five but I am not sure more came out.
I know of at least two people from the US that bought DVDs from INA and were satisfied. They have some knowledge of french and managed to order without problems.
Since you speak the language you should have no trouble at all getting what you want.
The McLean is a bit short on time. I am sure you will find other items of interest in the INA jazz vaults to fill a DVD.
The McLean by the way was not taped at Le Chat Qui Pèche... Looks more to me like a French TV/Radio studio!
This week, INA also added images from its archives.
Some interesting ones in the jazz section!
Type 'jazz' in the Recherche window!
Couple of samples...
Miles Davis recording the music to 'Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud'
Thelonious Monk enjoying a soft drink at the bar of the Olympia Theater.
Am I the only one who noticed that the hat doesn't show in the reflection? Or am I (not) seeing things?
I noticed that when I posted the image. Thought it was amusing and even gave me time for reflection
Will jump on this one when it comes out (soon, let's hope) by Blue Jack Records:
An unreleased 1963 session with Teddy Edwards, Jack Wilson, Leroy Vinnegar and Nick Martinis.
