If you're KD, George Morrow, Ray Bryant or Sonny Rollins

:party:

John Handy it was!

Keeping on the Marion Brown spirit, now spinning... Marion Brown 'Awofofora' (DiscoMate, Japan) with Ambrose Jackson, Fred Hopkins, Ed Blackwell, etc...

Been looking for that 'Weight</Counterweight' for several weeks. It seems to be MIA!

one from Carmell Jones ?!? which one is that?

I have a soft spot for Betty Glamann and Carol Kaye! A couple of French jazz ladies: Sophia Domancich and Hélène Labarrière! In my youth I also heard pianist Yvonne Blanc but don't have a soft spot for her!

I have the same copy, the Counce and Perkins too. Rather poor pressings. The pressing on my copy (an 'Authentic Records' release) is fine. I just hear too much boom coming from Leroy Vinnegar's bass!

Dexter Gordon 'Dexter Blows Hot and Cool' (DooTone) Cover and labels look like the original thing but this is a reprint!

The Lord discography lists 259 entries for Mulgrew Miller.

You'll probably be able to recognize what the Sidney Bechet Feetwarmers were playing by listening to samples from their music here. Wonderful music!

Maybe I'm mistaken, but isn't that thread about the 70CD/1DVD Complete Columbia Album Collection box? Leeway is talking about a different set, the upcoming trumpet case box with all the metal-spine box sets. My mistake (too many threads about all those Miles boxes) :blush2: Correcting my previous post...

The Complete Bud Powell (Verve box, disc 4)

Leeway, you've been away too long! Here is a previous thread on this box. I am not going for it. I have purchased those albums when they came out on vinyls, on single CDs, on double CDs, on box sets. I just do not need further reissues.

Oliver Nelson 'Afro/American Sketches' (Prestige, mono, yellow label)

Yes, it is for some extra weight that prevents occasional skips and mistracking. Usual "device" for transfering unplayable and wrapped records and records with skips. My previous turntable also needed some extra weight for the occasional albums that skipped. I come cheap and used a ten-cent coin instead of a quarter

That's what I meant. I have the session on an old LP. The sound here was miraculous! And Mosaic may be issuing it? Pinch me! gregmo The full broadcast - in its former audio reproduction - should be included in the soon to be published volume 9 of the Intégrale Louis Armstrong collection from Frémeaux & Associés.

Clarinet playing seems to be a lost art in current jazz and I have no favorite among the recent practitioners of the art. But I do have a lot of love for Sidney Bechet, Johnny Dodds, PeeWee Russell, Edmund Hall and Lester Young. Other favorite include Tony Scott, Buddy de Franco, Jimmy Giuffre not to mention Barney Bigard, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. And I should not forget Albert Burbank who speaks to me better than George Lewis.

Being released today is the new film by director (and jazz expert) Alain Corneau 'Crime d'Amour', a psychological thriller starring Ludivine Sagnier and Kristin Scott Thomas The only music on the soundtrack is 'Kazuko' by Pharoah Sanders from the 1980 album on Theresa Records 'Journey to the One', a tenor/koto/harmonium musical trip!

John Carter 'Variations' (Moers Music) with Bobby Bradford, James Newton, Bob Stewart and Philip Wilson

Sad news Philippe Gras died following an an aneurysm last week ! He was 64. His site has been withdrawn unfortunately. His photos of Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Don Cherry, the Art Ensemble of Chicago were among the very best. Gras who was one of the nicest and most sincere man in the jazz photo world also had a passion for Asia and published a book of photos on Angkor with a beautiful text by philiosopher Michel Butor. Some of his most celebrated photos are the ones he took for the Actuel/Byg label. Dave Burrell's 'Echo' and Don Cherry's 'Mu, second part' are some examples of the quality of his images. Philippe is sorely being missed! Indeed! Many thanks for the information. Too bad Byg didn't reproduce better copies of the images, but they were/are a treasure. Friends of Philippe Gras published a book 'L'Oeil Musical de Philippe Gras' which includes many of his excellent images. Glad to see a photo of Marion Brown adorning the cover of a book.

Martial Solal appears with Stefano Bollani at the Ramatuelle jazz festival today. Ramatuelle is on the French Riviera, near Saint-Tropez. The concert will be broadcast live (from 2000GMT) on the TSF Jazz radio. Click on ECOUTER TSF! The concert will be preceded by an one-hour introduction, probably with interviews of the pianists.

More from The New York Times today: Body and Soul The Savory Collection Good to see that there are discussions with Mosaic on the release of the Savory collection on CD.

The Armstrong/Fats/Teagarden is the only one I was familiar with. The others are unknown territory

Herbie Nichols box set, LP 1. LP 2 will follow... The Mosaic set which I return to the most often!
