Jazz in Deutschland 'Aus Dem Amiga-Archiv 1947-1965' (Amiga) disc 2

The lovely actress Deborah Kerr died, it was announced today. Fom AP:

Lucky Thompson 'Plays Jerome Kern and No More' (Moodsville, mono) with Hank Jones, Wendell Marshall and Dave Bailey

She recorded several jazz-oriented albums for Flying Dutchman including 'The Songs of Bessie Smith' with the Count Basie orchestra and 'It Don't Mean A Thing ...' with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Nothing to be ashamed of...

Lem Winchester 'Another Opus' (New Jazz, Japan reissue) with Frank Wess and Hank Jones

Haven't listened to this one in a while but I remember it as being one of the best from the incredible number of Hank Jones trio dates that appeared in those times. And if it's the Progressive LP release with the David Stone Martin cover, yes go for it!

Happy Birthday :party: with all due respects! Wishing you many more...

Indeed! and it makes Keepnews climb to a much higher position in my BAD list!

Yes to all that... ...and may you show up here again!

This looks like being the latest (from 1979) reissue, on vinyl: Can't trace a CD appearance!

Yes, they probably could not locate that missing 'Everytime W Say Goodbye'!

Yes, they probably could not locate that missing 'Everytime W Say Goodbye'!

The ones I have purchased (Poindexter, Baileys, Rouse, Lou Levy) have all been remastered. The Ellingtons have not. Don't know about the others...

With details slowly trickling in, I am slowly making up my mind to conclude that I'll be having to purchase that box

I too am waiting for that autobiography. Plus I have a special kind of affinity with Chris' superb post. My big day was just about 62 years ago (October 14, 1945) when my brother and I returned to Paris from Switzerland to be reunited with our parents. We had spent three wartime years away from home and were all so happy just to be alive, the four of us!

Rahsaan Roland Kirk 'Other Folks Music' (Atlantic)

I have seen that Suites reissue, it is a straight replica of the French Columbia CD 'Jazz Originals' reissue of several years ago. It is a straight replica of that reissue! Have yet to see that 'Drum Is a Woman" CD but I'll bet, it's also a rerelease of the earlier 'Jazz Originals' CD.

The Lou Levy CD 'A Most Musical Fella' from the 'Jazz Originals' series has a bonus track 'Everything Happens To Me' from the sessions which appears here for the first time!

The updated Tom Lord Discography lists 965 sessions by the gentleman

Don't think there is any worthy Tatum discography on the net. There was one discography (by Laubich and Ray Spencer) but I am afraid it's not available any more. Doubt The Solo Masterpieces are new masterings. I'ld say they are straigth rereleases of the Pablo reissues.

Pretty impressive! Good to have a Hank Jones discography online!

Helen Merrill/John Lewis (Mercury Japan)

Was away from the Board when this was started. Can only concur with Paul Secor. I still have the European CBS twofer (made in Holland, not France). 'Round Midnight' is listed as clocking in a 9m10s. Glad I kept the vinyl!

Jimmy Heath 'Triple Threat' (Riverside, mono) with Freddie Hubbard, Julius Watkins, Cedar Walton, Percy and Albert Heath

Happy Birthday :party:
