The official soundtrack for 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960' on Fontana No Monk on that album!

No! If you want to listen to the Monk music (and the Messengers's) you can get the DVD! Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Why change the winning combination of Ervin, Jaki Byard, Richard Davis and Alan Dawson? That quartet proved soooo successful in their Prestige albums!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Damn interesting site!

June Christy 'Gone for the Day' (Capitol, mono)

Try to get Bird's Eye volume 13. Most of the material is there. Bird with Diz Big Band 1948 I'ld rather hear this in bad sound than not at all! Also that Vol. 13 includes a 1956 WC session by Bird disciple Joe Maini with Zoot Sims and Jack Sheldon!

That was another essential job from Henri Renaud. The box has all the Brunswick-Columbia solos and the April 1941 trio sessions with Al Hall and J.C. Heard. The box included reminiscences by John Hammond. Frank Abbey did the mastering. The 3 LP material was reissued on a double CD a long time ago by CBS France in its Jazzotheque series.

Yes, Eddie should be the real deal! Never heard of a Eric Diehl

Yes indeed Happy Birthday, Medjuck

Nostalgia was a Boris Rose label. Which most surely was also the case for the DrumBoogie Disc label which issued the date first. The Gene Krupa band in January 1946 had musicians like Red Rodney, Charlie Kennedy, Charlie Ventura and pianist Teddy Napoleon. When I was seriously buying vinyls, saw a ton of those Krupa boots. There really was a HUUUGE number of them as BBS mentioned. Got only a couple of those. There were more interesting albums to be bought then!

Roland Kirk with Jack McDuff'Kirk's Work' (Prestige, yellow label)

From what I remember, the Boris Rose labels date from the '70s! They were easily available for a couple of decades. I have with me the December 1988 issue of Cadence which lists quite a number of them. $5,50 a disc!

'Bout time there was a thread devoted to that monster musician! Kirk recorded a lot of superb albums in the studios but he was never better than in front of a live audience. All those live dates are to be heard. A couple of favorites are Volunteered Slavery from - at least one half - the 1968 Newport festival and I, Eye, Aye from the 1972 Montreux festival!

Was this a problem on the LP? Guy Don't have the LP, just the OJC CD. I'm sure the problem is not on the original LP. Sounds like tape storage problem to me. This happens!

My copy has the same problem I live with it

Looking forward to listen to this double CD of Jimmy Raney at Bradley's in 1974. Due out very soon from Gambit: From the Absolute Distribution site: An extended previously unissued live performance by one of the true masters of jazz guitar. Two hours of never heard solos by Jimmy Raney recorded in the year of his musical comeback. Personnel: Jimmy Raney (g) & Bill Takas (b)…plus Eric Diehl (g) (on CD 1, #6-7 & CD 2, #3-5 only). Tracklisting: CD 1: 1. I Remember You 2. Dancing On The Ceiling 3. How About You 4. I Love You 5. It Could Happen To You 6. Like Someone In Love 7. Indiana/Donna Lee 8. Days Of Wine And Roses. Total Time:70:28 mins. CD 2: 1. Darn That Dream 2. Billie's Bounce 3. I Remember You (Version #2) 4. Body and Soul 5. Indiana/Donna Lee (Version #2) 6. Out Of Nowhere 7. On Green Dolphin Street 8 Motion 7:24 Total Time: 70:02 mins. Recorded: CD 1, #1-7: Live at Bradley's, New York, December 17, 1974. CD 1, #8 & CD 2: December 18, 1974. From 1967 to 1974, the great guitarist Jimmy Raney (1927-1995) went into semi-retirement in Louisville, and didn't make a single trip to the recording studios. Whether this was due to personal problems (like his growing alcohol addiction) or to the lack of interest by the major recording companies, his discography presents a notable gap of almost ten years, which is only represented by a couple of live recordings. Recorded with amateur equipment on December 17 & 18, 1974 at New York's famous Bradley's club, the concerts on this CD occurred just after Raney's comeback. Like many other great jazzmen, Jimmy Raney had a unique musical sound, which encompassed both modern and traditional styles. Considering that this is an amateur recording made at a crowded club, the sound quality here is obviously not up to Gambit's usual standards. However, we felt that the musical and historical importance of these performances more than compensated for any deficiencies on the original masters. All tracks previously unissued!
