That 'Tiger Rag' is included in volume 6 of the Benny Carter series of the Masters of Jazz series. Benny Carter Volume 6 Also in the 1936 volume of the Chronological Classics Benny Carter series!

Lee Konitz 'Timespan' (Wave, stereo) with Sal Mosca, Ronnie Ball, Billy Bauer, etc...

Check that Shorty Rogers Mosaic! No taker yet...

Miles et Jeanne? NON! Oui pour le reste! Pour Jeanne, c'était Malle, pas Miles! I don't hold 'Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud' as a masterpiece but it is a very interesting thriller. It's also a nostalgia trip for people who were still growing up around the time it was filmed. Et Jeanne Moreau était superbe

I am past having overspent on my music budget this month. The discs get top priority next month!

'Body and Soul' is extraordinary but the rest of the 'Boston Blow-Up' album is a bit more uneven. The Blue Serge session is right from start to finish with an awesome soloist backed by an one-of-a-kind rhythm section! If I had to choose one for that Desert Island, I would go with 'Blue Serge'

and the price was pretty low!. Can't remember how much it cost but it was one of those too good to miss opportunity! Was worth every cent

More Ben Webster... Teddy Wilson & his 1939 Big Band 'America Dances Broadcast' (Fanfare) featuring Ben Webster, Doc Cheatham, J.C. Heard, Al Hall...

'The Holland Sessions' is a double CD that reissues the following vinyls: 'Ben Webster at Ease' from January 1969, 'For the Guv'nor' from May 1969, both recorded in Heemstede, 'Last Concert', a 1973 concert in Leiden. All with local musicians. Didn't this make it to the USA?

Late, can't think of other Webster-led with strings sessions. A couple of favorites albums are the one with Tete Montoliu 'Gentle Ben' and 'The Holland Sessions' that was reissued on BN several years ago:

French bass player Gilbert 'Bibi' Rovere died in southern France earlier this week. He was 67. 'Bibi' was the younger brother of bassist Paul Rovere. He was one of the most in-demand musician in France in the sixties and appeared with Bud Powell, Dexter Gordon, Martial Solal, René Thomas, Jean-Luc Ponty, Seve Grossman among others. He was for several years a member of the Martial Solal trio with Daniel Humair. Among the various albums he took part in are: Barney Wilen 'Tilt' René Thomas 'Meeting Mr. Thomas' Bud Powell 'In Paris' Martial Solal 'Sans Tambour, Ni Trompette' Al Haig 'Invitation' Bibi Rovere was also hired by Duke Ellington to play at a recording session by Alice Babs in 1963 in Paris. He was also hired the following year to play with a Duke Ellington small group on the Italian Riviera. He had been married to acress Liliane Rovere.

Best baritone contribution ever! A masterpiece! Still cherish the British Vogue vinyl I bought shortly after the album was recorded!

One more Dexter video... http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/...4_dexter-gordon Filmed at Copenhagen's Cafe Montmartre playing 'Those Were the Days' and 'Fried Bananas' with Kenny Drew on piano, NHOP on bass and Makaya Ntoshoko on drums. The video carries the logo of the French TV channel 'M6' which had a weekly jazz show several years ago.

An amateur video of Charles Tyler improvising over a reading by controversial writer Marc-Edouard Nabe at the Paris cafe-cinema 'L'Entrepot' in 1990. http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/...nabe-tyler-1990 Nabe is reading from his just published essay 'La Marseillaise' which was inspired by Albert Ayler's music!

The two Jazzland albums were reunited on this Milestone CD: Moore may have been Wild Bill but he was BAD!

Wow. I had NO chance of getting THAT right! Guy, you really bring a lot of valuable information to this board (in addition to your charming personality!). Thank you! You're very welcome -_- Glad I could help!

I was not aware this had been edited as a double CD! I have the two separate CDs, in addition to the original French RCA LP! I was at the Club Saint-Germain when that group played there back in 1959. One of the first time I caught Humair live! Since this is about Humair, I have just linked a video on the Roland Kirk thread of the rhythm section of Gruntz, Pedersen and Humair accompanying Roland Kirk in 1963 in the same dutch club where they accompanied Dexter. Kirk's Lover man Informatively, Humair and Kirk did not get along. Humair who can be pretty abrasive thought Kirk was one of the rudest person he ever met

Roland Kirk plays 'Lover Man' in Amersfoort, Holland, in 1963 (not 1959!) with George Gruntz on piano, Guy Pedersen on bass and Daniel Humair on drums Kirk's Lover Man

Russ Freeman & Shelly Manne 'One on One' (Atlas)

It's getting even worse From AP:

Humair is still very much active. As a musician, also as an abstract painter, and a gourmet among other occupations. Humair is pronounced 'Uhuu-meir'

More from the same evening... Night In Tunisia Watch Dexter arrive at the club and get into action!

The session is on the Spotlite LP 138 (Afro-Cuban) and on the Philology Bird's Eyes vol. 22 CD. Not easy to find!

One of the TV cable channels here reruns the various episodes every weekend on a yearlong basis! Fun to watch even when you've seen them several times!
