There's a 3CD set coming up in the Jazz in Paris series... 50 Reasons To Love Paris

Cecil Taylor was a teacher in residence at Antioch in the early '70s.

Amazon.fr has the box priced at €81,33.

Chet Baker/Steve Houben (Carrrere)

Universal France is releasing next month an 8CD box 'Chet in Paris' that will add quite a lot of new material (alternate takes only it seems) to the previous 4 individual CDs of the Barclay sessions that came out via Polygram in 1988. Some details are available here! A discography of what's been released so far from these Barclay sessions dating from October 1955 through March 1956 can be seen on this site.

Yes. Also the fact that the contract with Impulse was not renewed did not help.

Eric Dolphy 'Other Aspects' (BN France)

My favorite record shop has been displaying several copies of the Trésors 1956 sets for the past few days Just be patient and you'll be 51 years younger very soon

Another early stereo recording is the Bud Shank 'Live at the Haig' album recorded in January 1956 (but not released until 1985): Excerpt from the liner notes to the original Concept Records LP: A Note from the Producer Stereo in 1956? Though stereo was not commercially available in 1956, it did exist. Some motion picture soundtracks had already used the technique and development labs of a few manufacturers of tape recorders were experimenting with the process...

Some worthy advice, just in case there is need to repair album covers: Cover Jacket Repair

Not sure about other European countries but French labels issued most of the new stereo albums as 'Gravure Universelle' hroughout te '60s. You could play those Gravure Universelle on mono or stereo systems.

It's too bad that Mary Parks blew further concerts proposals in France after Albert Ayler's triumphal concerts at the Maeght Foundation in 1970. Aimé Maeght, the foundation creator, was ready to have more concerts but Mary Parks asked for way too much money. That Albert Ayler had problems within is family is obvious when viewing Kasper Collins' film 'My Name is Albert Ayler'. The scene where Albert's father cannot find the gravesite of his son until being directed to the right place says so many things.

This is a very sad end to a superb career! What I can't understand is that Hingis had a lot of people including doctors around her to give her valuable advice and that no one seemed to have noticed her non-sport activities!

Have no heard those Frame albums. I had problems getting into Donald Ayler's music. Not that I did not like what he was trying to do. Don Cherry and Norman Howard sounded much more natural when playing with Albert Ayler than Donald.

Freddie Hubbard 'Backlash' (Atlantic, mono)

Didn't Konitz leave Scientology about ten years ago? At least, that's what he was telling interviewers at the time!

I prefer the sound of my mono 'Out to lunch' to the sound of my stereo copy of the same album (both have the NY labels). If the mono was a fold-down, I am not going to complain.

How could I forget?: Grachan Moncur III - Grachan Moncur II

Jimmy Lyons 'Other Afternoons' (Actuel, original)

Billie Holiday - Clarence Kim Parker - Charlie Peter Gullin - Lars

Tommy Dorsey is the trombone player, looks like his brother Jimmy is the saxophone player.

A link to the Donald Ayler death announcement. Let's hope he found peace with himself, at long last!

Beautiful meeting! The other Buddy Tate Chiaroscuro 'Buddy and his Buddies' is excellent too! With Roy Eldridge, Illinois Jacquet, Mary Lou Williams and others! Another highly recommended meeting: Ruby Braff and Ellis Larkins 'The Grand Reunion'.

Clifford Jordan 'In the World' (Strata-East, stereo)
