I am still waiting for FreshSound (or Mosaic?) to release the complete Concert Hall session from 1956 where Lionel Hampton gathered Ray Copeland, Jimmy Cleveland, Lucky Thompson, Oscard Dennard, Oscar Pettiford and Gus Johnson. It turned out to be one of the best session from that fertile era!

Hampton Hawes 'For Real' (Contemporary, mono)

The Decca big band material was reissued by Classics. Most of them are OOP by now and I don't think they were part of the Classics program of recycling them. Big Beat Steve, for your information the vast majority of the Classics were taken from original 78s or LPs made available by a small net of record collectors.

I have the 1971 concert on JazzDoor 'The Belgrade Concert'. It has 6 tracks including an opening announcement in the local language. The disc runs up to 49m07s. Sound is excellent. The music is ... well Chuck said it already 'THE BAND IS ON FIRE!'

Elmo Hope Ensemble 'Hope from Rikers Island' (Chiaroscuro)

Not a chance, believe me! With rare exceptions, secondhand CDs at PJC start at €12

Good overview of Mundell Lowe's carrer and discography Mundell Lowe Guitarist The duos with Tete Montoliu 'Sweet'n Lovely' on FreshSound are highly recommended! Beautiful music.

Yes, that Columbia album 'Flute Fever' with Denny Zeitlin, Ben Tucker and Ben Riley was an earcatcher. Can't remember anything else from Steig that caught my ears. Even the Verve album 'What's New' with the Bill Evans trio had nothing really new!

Grew up on this stuff... Still have the original ten-inchers of the session. The date was reissued a few years ago in the Vogue/BMG series:

A previous thread!

The Dave McKenna Swing Six 'No Holds Barred' (Famous Door) with Warren Vache, Scott Hamilton, Al Cohn, etc...

Rare Italian LP goes up to $2,780 Franco Cerri Barney Wilen Ambrosetti

The Greatest? Will disagree with this -_- It originally came out on Charlie Parker Records As far as Mundell Lowe albums are concerned, I'll take the Guitar Moods instead. That's one album I ignored for much too long!

Barney Kessel 'Music to Listen to Barney Kessel By' (Contemporary, King/Japan)

Reply to question 2... It's the Brazilian Parliament in Brasilia. Architect was Oscar Niemeyer:

I had the original vinyl but have now this RVG reissue. The tunes being played are the same but on the vinyl, side B had them as 'Clubhouse', 'Jodi' and 'Lady Iris B', while the RVG has the same tunes as 'Clubhouse', 'Lady Iris B' and 'Jodi'. The vinyl had it right. The Dexter ballad 'Jodi' is tune 5 on the RVG, not tune 6 as indicated. Tune 6 is 'Lady Iris B'. Nobody at BN seems to have noticed this error

That's terrible news. One of the very best journalist of his generation! Halberstam was one of the journalists who collaborated to the photo book by Horst Faas and Hélène Gedouin on French war photographer Henri Huet 'J'étais photographe de guerre au Vietnam' which was published last year in France and which I helped put together. Halberstam wrote a moving personal memory of Huet. He kept a photo by Huet near his desk. Halberstam during the Vietnam War. Photo by Horst Faas/AP.

My CTI Japan vinyl indicates it was released in 1977. This was a US CTI-like gatefold album. Manufactured by King Records!
