For those who read French, there is a fictionalized account of the Miles-Juliette liaison in this recently released book Not sure it is very good. It's available from Amazon.fr among other sources... http://www.amazon.fr/Moment-magique-Quenti...1522&sr=1-3

Bertrand, track order on my vinyl copy (Cadet, promotional LP) of 'The Peace-Maker' is: side 1: - The Peace-Maker - Stylin' (Land plays flute and Colin Bailey plays harmonica on that one) - 40 Love - Angel Dance side 2: - Timetable (correct, not Time Table) - Imagine - The Aquarian - One for Nini

The photos on that Shandar LP volume 2 were taken at the Fondation Maeght. Fabulous place, worth a trip! Photos on volume 1 also taken there!

Agustin, here is what I could find! Hope that helps! I have several other LPs from your list (Old Town, Prestige, Fontana...) but not the original issues.

Earl Anderza died in Chicago around 1982 just before reaching 50. He was born in Los Angeles on October 24, 1933. The information comes from an email adressed by Anderza's niece Janae to French journalist Pierre Briançon. Briançon, an excellent journalist who was correspondent in Moscow and New York for the respected daily Libération has published "San Quentin Jazz Band' which was released last week by les Editions Grasset. A must read book (in French only so far) for anyone interested in the saga of a number of jazz musicians who went through San Quentin for various reasons. The book centers on the period from January to November 1962 when the prison had an orchestra that had players like Art Pepper, Dupree Bolton, Anderza, Frank Morgan, Jimmy Bunn and others. More details are on Briançon's blog: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endID=257488610

From The New York Times today:

chewy, Frank Morgan is heard on the Charlie Parker at Jirayr Zorthian's ranch 1952 jam that came out recently on the RLR label. Before his own GNP album, he also appeared on a Teddy Charles/Wardell Gray session that was reissued on the Wardell Gray Prestige/OJC series. on the Speed Murphy 'New Orbits in Sound' album on GNP and on the Kenny Clarke album 'Telefunken Blues' (with Walter Benton, Milt Jackson, Gerry Wiggins, etc...) on Savoy

Who cares what the record sounds like with that great cover art! You mean this groovy cover? The colors were more vivid on the original. The colors are more vivid on the Boplicity vinyl reissue!

Nothing new from that Warner Jazz France series lately. I am afraid we have to write the series off!

Nice story about Lawrence Lucie in The New York Times today.

reply sent directly to your e-mail The first PMs were held up in the traffic jam here. Got yours. Thanks! Back in business by now!

Even with the bad quality video, the magic operated! The two minutes that can be watched now makes me hope that the full version will be available soon. This is a superb and much needed restoration
