  1. I attended that concert at the Théatre des Champs-Elysées -_- Did not realize then it would be the only time I would catch Wes Montgomery live!
  2. Two different films, both with music by Hodeir. You're obviously thinking of the 1952 short 'Saint-Tropez' which was shot when the resort had not been ruined by the tourists invasion. The music to that one was included in the Vogue-BMG CD 'André Hodeir, The Vogue Sessions'. 'Saint-Tropez Blues' was shot in 1960 and is a forgettable film by Marcel Moussy who was a better scriptwriter than director. The film starred Marie Laforet and Jacques Higelin.
  3. Save the Country Saw this when it came out. Thought the whole thing was a bit out of my interests range and went my way without getting it. There were a lot of albums coming out around the time that I thought would be much more musically rewarding! Now shoot me if I was wrong
  4. The new releases have the following numbers: 103 - Buck Clayton and Friends (with Hal Singer) 104 - Kid Ory at the Théatre des Champs-Elysées 105 - Sonny Stitt Sits In with the Oscar Peterson Trio 106 - Guy Lafitte 'Blues...' 107 - Stan Getz/Michel Legrand 'Communications '72' 108 - Sammy Price 'Good Paree' 109 - George Wein 'Midnight Concert at the Olympia' 110 - Raymond Fol 'Echoes of Harlem' 111 - Maurice Vander 'Piano Jazz' 112 - Jazz et Cinéma 'Volume 5, (Henri Crolla, Hubert Rostang, André Hodeir)
  5. Volume 5 has music from: 'Cette Sacrée Gamine' (a Brigitte Bardot film) by Henri Crolla and Hubert Rostaing, 'Une Parisienne' (BB again) by Crolla and Rostaing 'Saint-Tropez Blues' by André Hodeir and Henri Crolla
  6. Tommy Flanagan 'The Cats' (New Jazz, mono) with Idrees Sulieman, John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, Doug Watkins, Louis Hayes
  7. Man, I looove that one. 60's-style Sunny had just the right measure of anarchy, intelligence, and groove. (Coursil, among other quite formidable faces, is always welcome.) I'm still awed at the number of outstanding albums that ESP put out in the sixties. I was not sure at the time that that many would stand the test of time. I know better now -_-
  8. Sarah Vaughan sings 'I Cried For You', from a 1951 film (with French subtitles!): Damn, she was beautiful
  9. Sunny Murray (ESP, stereo) with Jacques Coursil, Jack Graham, Byard Lancaster, Al Silva
  10. Yes, "enthusiastic" indeed!! I just checked out the Sassy's Blues clip over at B&N and she seems to be getting a bit annoyed with the audience toward the end. Do you have the cd? What ends up happening? Does she throw a shoe at them? http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/pro...amp;wrk=2810479 Au contraire, my dear Weizen! The Parisian audience loved La Divine Sarah and Sarah loved them. She even goes into a bit of 'I Love Paris' in the final song on the 2CD. She should have been annoyed at part of the audience that went into out-of-synch clapping
  11. Dusty Groove has a Coming Soon link now: http://www.dustygroove.com/upcoming.php This one is not bad either! Did I miss that previously or is this new?
  12. George Russell 'New York, N.Y.' (Decca, mono)

    Brew Moore

    The search for a scan of the original cover still proves negative Previous thread

    Brew Moore

    Wondered about that too! Brew Moore also showed up on two of Cal Tjader's albums for Fantasy 'Tjader Plays Jazz' and 'Latin Kick'!
  15. There is a detailed account of who plays what in the liner notes to the original stereo copy I have. Bill Evans is on the right channel (well, slightly to the right of center) while Bley is on the left channel. And Bley does not appear on 'Dimensions' and 'Waltz from Outer Space'.
  16. The fourth Decca is 'George Russell Sextet in K.C.'. 'Original Swinging Instrumentals' is the description on the front cover. That was music that the sextet developed during a two-week engagement at the Blue Room club in Kansas City. A very good date with interesting tunes including trombonist Dave Baker's 'War Gewessen' and an early Carla Bley contribution 'Rhymes'. Great frontline of Don Ellis, Dave Baker and the underrated sax player Dave Young!
  17. Warne Marsh 'Warne Out' (Interplay)
  18. No details yet...
  19. The Complete Lester Young on Verve, disc 2
  20. This CD is the only one which appears on the Universal JinP site so far Communications '72 The new batch was scheduled to be published on March 5 but there seems to be a slight delay. Here is the full list: Buck Clayton 'and Friends' Raymond Fol 'Echoes of Harlem' Stan Getz/Michel Legrand 'Communications '72' Guy Lafitte 'Blues ...' Kid Ory at the Théatre des Champs-Elysées Sammy Price 'Good Paree' Sonny Stitt sits in with the Oscar Peterson Trio Maurice Vander 'Piano Jazz' George Wein 'Midnight Concert at the Olympia' Jazz et Cinéma 'Volume 5' No idea if there is going to be a box of these...
  21. More Maggie... Howard McGhee 'Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out' (UA, mono)
  22. Those 3 Portraits albums were also released on vinyls (Made in Holland) by Polydor International in 1990. A great trio of LPs. Latest good news for Randy Weston fans was the recent reissue by Fresh Sound of the Weston trio appearance at the 1958 Newport festival and the sextet sides (with Ray Copeland and Frank Haines) recorded in 1966 at the SF Both/And club that came out on Trip. Can't think of a bad album by Weston. I even have a special fondness for the 'Destry Rides Again' UA album which was not included (with Weston's approval) in the Weston Mosaic Select set
  23. There are two versions - including a reprise - of the song in the double CD Sarah Vaughan In the City of Lights (Sunnyside) that was recorded in November 1985 in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. With Frank Collett on piano, Bob Maize on bass and Harold Jones on drums.
