The Chronological Classics series can still be downloaded at Abeille Musique

I have been enjoying this ever since it came out in 2001 (with all the additional alternate tracks)

This Francis Wolff photo of Eric Dolphy and Andrew Hill was the main image that illustrated the opening page of the Sunday edition of The New York Times website today! It illustrated this article on the vinyl revival!

Yes, this was the original release (Norgran MGN 1072) of the sessions with John Lewis. Cover photo by Herman Leonard.

What do you expect? it's mid August. Their website - different from the shop - is closed and will reopen when they get back from holidays like most good French people do The Paris Jazz Corner shop is open for business as usual...

Thanks John L. for the reminder! That JATP September 1955 Carnegie Hall concert was previously released on the Hall of Fame label (vinyl bootleg label - from the 70s?).

Chubby Jackson 'Live' (Mopaque) Outstanding broadcasts from the Royal Roost by the outstanding Chubby Jackson 1949 big band (with relentless drumming by Tiny Kahn!). God bless Boris Rose!

I had no idea this Paradise could be so expensive! My mint copy is safely tucked in betwee Sonny Sharrock's 'Black Woman' and his Actuel-Byg vinyl. The seller also has other - less expensive - interesting items!

Obviously Sir Alex changed his mind on Evra after blasting his conduct as French team captain in WC2010 Weeks ago! Agree with Sir Alex's assessment about WC1986 being the best of the recent tournaments. I was in Mexico for this and remember it as one of the very best journalistic assignments I ever got. So many great games

No bonus on the Reece Select. Just all the previously issued tracks from the four BN albums (Blues in Trinity, Star Bright, Soundin' Off and Comin' On)!

Martial Solal 'Thesolosolal' (MPS France)

The Complete Riverside box also marked the first appearance ever of three tunes from the April 28 & 29, 1960 sessions with Joe Gordon, Harold Land, Charlie Rouse, John Ore and Shelly Manne!

TV director and jazz historian Jean-Chrstophe Averty turns 82 today! He filmed most of the Antibes-Juan les Pins jazz festival performances (including Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme' in 1965).

Truth is slowly marching in... Not that it matters so much these days now that Lance Armstrong is (cycling) history! Story in The New York Times today.

That would be £1.90 then ! I recall that the sour-faced woman who served me made enquiries in the back of the store before releasing it at the marked price!! (Incidentally, it's one hell of a record. IMHO the McLean/Hardman/Dockery/De Brest Messengers just can't be beaten for FIRE!) These Musidisc releases were available for a song in several Paris stores after Musidisc went down under! Now spinning: George Russell 'Jazz in the Space Age' (Decca, stereo)

This one goes for a mere $3,150!

Not really sure this is what BN needs... ... from The New York Times: Ravi Coltrane

Helen Merrill/John Lewis (Mercury) with Hubert Laws, Richard Davis and Connie Kay

Yes, all great stuff (and I even sortoff like 'Monument' although I will not rate it very high). A favorite late McLean is 'Nature Boy' recorded for the Japanese label Somethin' Else (and released elsewhere on BN)

Be Webster 'Dig Ben' (Storyville), disc 3

Al Cohn 'Four Brass, One Tenor' (RCA Victor, mono)
