Grab the Sonny Criss and Gene Ammons CDs... The Shirley Scott and Jimmy Forest are good ones too..

Barney Wilen 'La Note bleue' (IDA)

To the best Ghost I ever encountered... Happy Birthday :party:

I have quite a number of those Prestige/New Jazz (Bergenfields). A few have 'Not for Sale', several have 'PREVIEW COPY' signs mostly in red stampers. All on the liner notes. Nothing on the labels. Blue Note albums that came direct from BN offices have no indications they were preview copies.

The original vinyl cover and the French Colpix version...

Erik Friedlander swings. His father Lee rocks!

The Toronto Star mentions that the Baker's estate "still owns the copyright in more than 50 of his works". At $20,000 per infringement that may add up to quite a lot of money!

Anthony Braxton 'New York, Fall 1974' (Arista)

From the Toronto Star: http://www.thestar.com/business/article/73...er-infringement On the same subject, from the Boingboing blog: Major record labels rip off 300,000 songs for compilation CDs, may owe $60 billion in damages Jazz great Chet Baker's estate is suing the major record labels for releasing his music on Canadian CDs without paying compensation (a common practice in Canada, where over 300,000 songs have been released on CD without compensation). The defendants -- Warner Music Canada, Sony BMG Music Canada, EMI Music Canada, and Universal Music Canada -- have admitted that they owe at least CAD$50 million, but Baker's estate is entitled to up to CAD$60 billion. The claims arise from a longstanding practice of the recording industry in Canada, described in the lawsuit as "exploit now, pay later if at all." It involves the use of works that are often included in compilation CDs (ie. the top dance tracks of 2009) or live recordings. The record labels create, press, distribute and sell the CDs, but do not obtain the necessary copyright licences... It is difficult to understand why the industry has been so reluctant to pay its bills. Some works may be in the public domain or belong to a copyright owner difficult to ascertain or locate, yet the likes of Sarah McLachlan, Bruce Cockburn, Sloan, or the Watchmen are not hidden from view. The more likely reason is that the record labels have had little motivation to pay up. As the balance has grown, David Basskin, the president and CEO of the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency Ltd., notes in his affidavit that "the record labels have devoted insufficient resources for identifying and paying the owners of musical works on the pending lists." The CRIA members now face the prospect of far greater liability. The class action seeks the option of statutory damages for each infringement. At $20,000 per infringement, potential liability exceeds $60 billion.

Yes, he is. And obviously too modest to post his achievements!

Did that one ever come out on CD? MG Does not look like it ever did! Now spinning: Art Blakey 'Golden Boy' (Colpix France)

Don't forget to add some Joel Friedman (with Albert Ayler or Charles Tyler, or both!). Might scare the kid , or might turn him on

From the Music section in The New York Times Sounds like an interesting rediscovery of this hard-to-get album!

Coleman Hawkins 'No Strings' (Prestige/Moodsville) with Tommy Flanagan, Major Holley, Eddie Locke

Francis Paudras has pretty harsh words about J.C. Moses in his book 'Dance of the Infidels', his reminiscences of the last years of Bud Powell.

$3,000- reserve met - a week later! just below this red vinyl Dexter Gordon Blows Hot and Cool! ($3,371)

From The New York Times today.

You beat me to it... Some interesting videos there... like this one! On the very talented Bob Parent.

Same here. It was slow late this morning (European time) and now again in the mid-afternoon.

'Fats' Sadi

Now that's a rarity (and a very good album, too!) I'm afraid I only have an audio tape of a friend's copy. It's on the Mosaic Dizzy Gillespie Verve box. I still have my French Verve LP! Now spinning... Jackie McLean 'Tippin' the Scales' (BN/King) with Sonny Clark, Butch Warren, Art Taylor. The original release with notes by Terry Martin.

Thanks for the Billboard link, chewy! Reading through the issue, it just reminds us of the amazing number and quality of jazz albums that were released in those days

CP32 I have several of those. CP35 I don't. Any list available of those six BN CP35? from another forum: CP35-3069 Morgan, Lee The Sidewinder CP35-3070 Adderley, Cannonball Somethin' Else CP35-3071 Hancock, Herbie Maiden Voyage CP35-3088 Coltrane, John Blue Train CP35-3089 Clark, Sonny Cool Struttin' CP35-3090 Blakey, Art Moanin' Unsure if it is accurate. Thanks for the list! I was a strict vinylist when these came out and did not bother with them!
