Those Don Cherry images were taken by the excellent photographer Philipe Gras who died earlier this year!

While going through old copies of Down Beat caught this item (in the September 23, 1966 issue), with a Chicago dateline: 'Former Charles Mingus trumpeter Gene Shaw recently revealed plans for the formation of a 10-piece jazz orchestra, Players Performances, which he described as 'a new concept in jazz ensemble that will draw upon certain of the premises of current improvisational theater'. Shaw said he will recruit orchestra members from the ranks of Chicago jazzmen. 'I don't expect many wil be equiped too readily to work within the new structure', he said, 'but I think that I've evolved a training method that will work. Basically, the idea is an extension of some of the precepts of Mingus' music I observed while a member of his group'. Currently Shaw and his wife are looking for a location on Chicago's near-north side to house the orchestra, as well as Shaw's philosophic studios, and an art and ceramics shop Does anybody know if anything came out of this project?

Last time I caught sight of Grace Kelly was at her funeral in Monaco in September 1982...

Great! Two photos of Bob Weinstock! I'm like Paul Secor, never saw a photo of him before.

I have had the problem after being away from the computer for some time. Niko's advice on the second post of this thread was the perfect solution!

Henri Poincaré died in 1912 so can reasonably doubt about the accuracy of the story

At long last, Tintin will have a museum of his own outside Brussels. First stone was laid on Monday on the occasion of his creator's 100th birthday!

Happy Birthday

You shouldn't be disappointed with that Lipatti! Hope it will be to your taste!

Anthony Braxton 'Creative Orchestra Music 1976' (Arista)

The Ornette Coleman photo on the Gambit CD cover is credited to Nancy Kaszerman. It probably dates from the past ten years.

Set nr. 1 from the Mythic Sound box is currently being auctioned on eBay Bud Powell Pure Genius

I did not sign up Probably won't take part but I'll gladly take the CDs!

Pierre or Marie?!?

The Gambit release includes all the material that was issued on the two LPs and adds nothing. Total running time is 66m23s. Material was obviously picked from the vinyls (what a surprise?). Sound has been slightly improved on the CD release, particularly the sides from the Improvising Artists Inc. ('Coleman Classics 1') which have more presence.

Indeed, he did! Jack Lewis was the A&R man behind many of Victor's best jazz releases from the fifties.
