Some more recommendations from the Vogue Masters series: - the André Hodeir (with Bobby Jaspar, Bernard Peiffer, etc...), - the Third Hersmen/Jay Cameron's International Sax Band' - the Piano Collection, vol. 2 (George Wallington/Al Haig/Jimmy Jones), - the Big Bill Broonzy double CD

Some favorite French films noirs (the French coined the expression Film Noir): Jacques Becker's 'Touchez Pas au Grisbi' (with the great Jean Gabin) Jules Dassin's 'Rififi' Jean-Pierre Melville's 'Bob le Flambeur', 'Deux Hommes dans Manhattan',, ' Le Doulos', 'Samourai', etc... Claude Sautet's 'Classe Tout Risque' (with Lino Ventura and a young Jean-Paul Belmondo)

Al Haig 'Piano Time' (SeaBreeze)

Old (but still good) news to some of us here.

Dan's recommended site is very good. Another good one is this one: http://www.recordshowsofamerica.com/ And Goldmine magazine lists record conventions details.

John Huston's 'The Asphalt Jungle' and Stanley Kubrick's 'The Killing' are a couple of favorites. They both star Sterling Hayden, the film noir acteur par excellence!

It's NOT Lateef on the cover. It's Trane And it's appropriate. The CD cover reproduces the original poster for the actual concert at the Olatunji concert!

Curtis Amy Select, disc 3

Ray Nance 'Body and Soul' (Solid State, stereo) with Brew Moore, Jaki Byard, Tiny Grimes, etc...

garthsj, best of luck when the knife starts doing its job! Let us know the outcome! If you're still around

Shelly Manne 'Boss Sounds' (Atlantic, mono)

Beside the Jazz Record Center, my favorite place to buy records in NYK was the WFMU Record Fair. An amazing event!

Happy Birthday, young man Hope you are celebrating in proper fashion

Jackie McLean & Tina Brooks 'Street Singer' (BN, King Japan)

Viva Espana! Nadal deserved to win. He still produces the most visually exciting tennis when he plays at the French open. You can't but feel story for Lederer who is the better equiped player and who has won everything except that Paris tournament.

Happy Birthday, Kevin That Cotes du Rhone 62 should have been drunk years ago. Not a very good year in that area. Hope it tastes better than vinegar!

Willie 'The Lion' Smith-Jo 'The Tiger' Jones 'The Lion and the Tiger' (Jazz Odyssey)

and Jazz West - the Sonny Criss (a great one, in my opinion!) The Sonny Criss sessions were recorded for Imperial, not Jazz West! The Jazz West material (Art Pepper, Jack Sheldon, Kenny Drew ...) was reissued on the parent Pacific Jazz label.

Don't know why the footage of Miles Davis recording the soundtrack was not included in that collector's edition DVD. I understand it was included in the US version. This is the footage. This was originally a sequence from the French TV show Ciné-Panorama. The interviewer with Louis Malle is Ciné-Panorama producer François Chalais.

Labels like Disconforme, Definitive and Lone Hill Jazz. They are based in Andorra and they take other label's masterings and use them for their own releases. There are a few labels like that in the U.K. too (JSP, Proper). Those 'Andorran' labels operate out of Barcelona and they are actually Spanish operations. They just have a mailing adress in Andorra to make use of the easy-on-taxes laws that prevail in Andorra. Andorra is some 200 kilometers north of Barcelona.

I have this also. The cover says it's mono but the sound is stereo Now listening to: Jimmy Raney-Martial Solal 'The Date' (Stil, mono/stereo)
