Guérin would pronounce - very approximately - as Gaerhiiiyn

Roger Guérin was the trumpet player on a number of film soundtracks. My favorites are his contributions to Martial Solal's score for Godard's 'A Bout de Souffle' and to Serge Gainsbourg's score for Doniol-Valcroze's 'L'Eau a la Bouche'.

It may sound reasonable for a number of people! As for me, I refuse to consider paying more than $50 or $60 for a single LP... This was reasonable to me during my vinyl-buying years which ended several years ago. Not rich enough!

That one was a ten-incher. Still have it!

Roger Guérin's best album as leader was this 1958 date with Benny Golson and Bobby Timmons for French Columbia, recorded in Paris when Blakey's Jazz Messengers (with Lee Morgan) hit town. The session (minus one track with Martial Solal and Michel Hauser subbing for Golson and Timmons) showed up on this BN CD 'Benny Golson and the Philadelphians'! Recently Guérin recorded some three albums for a local central France label Oreil. I have heard only one 'Musique à Voir' which sounded not bad at all!

The excellent trumpet player Roger Guérin died Saturday after he fell in water near his home in southern France, the website of the French review Jazz Magazine announced. Guérin performed brillantly on Martial Solal's Suite en Ré. He was the ever present and ever reliable trumpet player on numerous record sessions with Solal, André Hodeir, Christian Chevalier and Quincy Jones among others.

Interesting release from the New England Conservatory that includes performances by Ran Blake, Jaki Byard, Steve Lacy, Bob Brookmeyer among others. The CD 'Art-i-fact' can be purchased/downloaded from cdbaby or from iTunes!

The Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band on Verve, discs 1, 2, etc...

This EMI double CD was a pretty good survey of the Danksworth big band music from 1953 to 1960!

Anybody heard this CD... ...and where can it be obtained?

Release notification from Cuneiform!

There does seem to be a problem... On my regular email box, I had a notification about a new PM waiting for me on Organissimo but when I opened the messages file I could not find it. First time this happened!

Thanks for the link. Quite an interesting read!

The good Jordi Pujol already too care of this back in 1985 when he reissued the album as a vinyl release. I have enjoyed it since! A gasser it was!

Distribution throughout Europe of this superb disc was very erratic. It's very hard to get a copy of it nowadays. Whenever I have run into a copy lately, I bought it and sent it to friends.

Among various accomplishments, Dankworth wrote the music for several of Joseph Losey's best films including 'The Servant' and 'Accident'.

Mundell Lowe 'New Music of Alec Wilder' (Riverside, white label) with Joe Wilder, Milt Hinton, Ed Shaughnessy, etc...

I have that Japanese DIW vinyl (and the accompanying 7" disc) but won't part with it until I secure an original copy of the Jihad LP at a reasonable price! It will take time...

I have never purchased anything from Les Allumés but I read their paper whenever it is available. Their store is probably a one-man operation so dealing with them requires patience!

The first time I heard Mal Waldron live remains a pretty bad experience. This was at the November 1958 at the Olympia theater in Paris when he was accompanying a rather intoxicated Billie Holiday. Billie had problems finishing some of her songs and it took Mal's patience and professionalism to carry her through the end of her concert. I was already a fan of Waldron at the time (through his presence on so many great Prestige albums). Caught him live on several occasions later. I wish I had been able to hear him with Jackie McLean. The albums they recorded together are some of their very best!
