Clunky, that Solal Poljazz vinyl is pretty hard to find these days. It's one of Solal very best albums! Now spinning: Duke Ellington 'The Complete Duke Ellington, vol. 6 - 1933-1936' (CBS France) The Reminiscing in Tempo session

Miles Davis at Plugged Nickel, LPs 1 and 2

There will be a 'Free Jazz et Cinéma' festival at the Maurice Ravel Auditorium in suburban Montreuil (accessible via the Paris subway) at the end of the month. Several very rarely seen films (including Luc Ferrari's film 'Ambitus' on the Cecil Taylor Unit with Jimmy Lyons, Alan Silva and Andrew Cyrille) will be shown there. Free Jazz et Cinéma full program. Musicians taking part in the event's concerts include François Tusques, Alan Silva, Bobby Few and others.

Yes, that's the one! Can't blame you for getting rid of it! Not really an indispensable opus!

I just listened to it and thought it sounded a little as Harold Land. Doubt it would be Land. He was not an East Coast regular at the time, the type of players that would be contracted for sessions like this. Thought the tenor might be Seldon Powell. Will have to relisten to that track!

Albert Ayler 'In Greenwich Village' (Impulse, mono)

This explains why 'Legrand Jazz' is now part of the Verve catalogue Maybe Mosaic will work on a Select that would include 'Legrand Jazz', 'Michel Legrand in Rio' and 'Michel Legrand Plays Richard Rodgers', all with AllStar lineups!

Don Cherry Complete BN, disc 1

Miles was on that?! Sounds very much like Miles! Several Miles Davis discographies list the album. Others do not. There were rumors that John Coltrane was one one of the sessions. A tenor solo on 'Besame Mucho' was attributed to Coltrane but Legrand denied it. Legrand did not deny Miles' participation.

Crazy What's so rare about this CD? I remember when the original vinyls of this Art Farmer were up for grabs in various discount bins for a couple of bucks!

The New York Times by the way did not bother to print a story about Don Ayler's death. They just mentioned that he passed away in their review of the 'My Name is Albert Ayler' film

Previous Don Ayler thread.

Also missing from the various boxes is the 'Michel Legrand in Rio' album...

Brew Moore 'Brew's Stockholm Dew' (Sonet)

Good work Charlie Mariano is also credited with appearing on a CD from the German label Nebelhorn 'Ich Hore Istanbul, Jazz a la Turka' by Sema & Takson. Recorded in Berlin, December 1990-January 1991

Been out in old Europe for the past two weeks

Dave Frishberg 'Getting Some Fun Out of Life' (Concord)

The New York Times reviews Kasper Collin's film in today's edition.

Aloc is probably thinking of Martial Solal (great record with Toots) instead of Tete!

Haappy Birthday :party:

The liner notes to the Cicala LP gave the personnel for those tracks as Duke Jordan, Bill Crow, Kenny Clarke plus unknown trumpet Cicala was a joke as far as accuracy was concerned but this bootleg operation released some material that had not been made available to the public until then.

I have that Cicala Stan Getz LP. There is a note that I pinned to the back linernotes indicating the Getz/Fruscella/Williams/Anthony/Isola personnel on this Birdland gig. The note was written after I read the Al Levitt article in 'Jazz Magazine'. Al Levitt knew what he was talking and writing about. I miss not running into him these days. He loved walking the streets of Paris. The music from Birdland is included in the four CD set 'Tony Fruscella. The Complete Works' from those beloved Andorran pirates The sound is better (even if not good enough) on the Jazz Factory set.

Yes Yes Happy Birthday

Eric Dolphy 'Here & There' (Prestige, mono, blue label)

Have a look at Doug Ramsey's Rifftides I find it very interesting, most of the time.
