This is very sad news! A favorite underrated pianist for a very long time (going back to his days with Tony Scott!). Ironically one of his best album (on Beehive) was titled 'In High Profile'.
JazzWax had a highly readable interview with him last July!
The Lund portion was released previously on a WestWind boot... Same material is included on the Jazz Lips release.
The three tunes that were taped at the home of Finnish composer Likka Kuusisto are in excellent sound on the CD
No idea. It might be a theme written by Cecil Payne or Kenny Drew. But it's not part of the score Payne and Drew composed for 'The Connection'. At least, I don't recognize it as one of themes that they recorded for Charlie Parker Records
And it's not Slide Hampton's song either.
Both (Byard and Redd) are highly recommended. Very nice albums...
The Byard CD added a medley to the original release. I have the Redd vinyl, don't think there is additional material on the CD reissue.
Don't overlook the Georges Arvanitas releases. Some of his best work appeared on the label.
Another fine French (oops, Belgian!!) pianist...
Maurice Vander in 1960 at the Blue Note with two Bosses: Pierre Michelot and Kenny Clarke!
Maurice Vander's 'Les Feuilles Mortes' also known as 'Autumn Leaves' (by Joseph - not Vladimir - Kosma )
Roland Kirk in 1972, part 1
Roland Kirk in 1972, part 2
The musicians with Roland Kirk are Ron Burton, piano, Henry Pete Pearson,b, Richie Goldberg, dr, and Joe Texidor, percussions.
new videos from the INA vaults are still being added.
Liked that one:
Cecil Payne and Kenny Drew in 1961 at the Blue Note with Michael Mattos on bass and Larry Ritchie on drums.
They were in town for the Paris production of jack Gelber's play 'The Connection'
same goes for Georges Arvanitas
Arvanitas/H.U.M.. The Georges Arvanitas quintet with Bernard Vitet on trumpet and François Jeanneau on tenor in 1961 in a sow tat also features H.U.M. (Humair, Urtreger and Michelot)
Arvanitas at Club St.Germain in 1959 withBernard Vitet, Bob Garcia on tenor, Luigi Trussardi on bass and Mac Kac on drums play J.J. Johnson's 'Wee Dot'
René Urtreger is another French pianist well represented at INA.
René Urtreger with Sacha Distel and Paul Rovere and Jean6louis Viale in 1958
René Urtreger Trio with Gilbert Rovere and Daniel Humair in 1970
H.U.M. trio (Daniel Humair, René Urtreger, Pierre Michelot) play Dameron's Tadd Delight in 1960
yes, pretty accurate.
But Prestige did not record the sessions. It was Chet's manager, the notorious Richard Carpenter, who sold the tapes to Prestige. The company marketed the results the same way they marketed the Miles sessions.
Don Byas in Saint-Tropez - complete with seafishing equipment - plays 'Tea for Two' with his group including guitarist Bob Aubert, bassist Jacques B. Hess (who lays off on this one), drummer Jacques David and others...
The musicians are introduced by Marcel Romano (with sunglasses)!
The audio section of the INA vaults include fascinating broadcasts. They seem to be available for free!
The 1948 jazz festival at Nice featuring Louis Armstrong, Rex Stewart, Lucky Thompson, Bobby Jaspar and others...
Modern jazz at the 1958 Cannes jazz festival featuring Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Barney Wilen, Tete Montoliu, Martial Solal and others...
Now that I'm creeping back to O., I find I have a hard time getting in any day of the week around 1000GMT.
Takes more than half an hour before things get back to normal!
I also got acquainted with the 'IPS Driver Error' page that J.A.W. refers in the previous message
