Roy Eldridge 'Verve Studio Recordings', disc 4

Oui, monsieur! And pity poor Johnny Hallyday who after selecting Switzerland to evade his tax obligations is now seeking to take his money to the Monaco tax heaven. Seems Monaco is an even better deal for the tax-evading Rich nowadays

Mais oui!!! The cover was not an original. The disc was! The cover of my original has the Jack Manning-Paul Bacon credit in small type at bottom right!

Looks like an original pressing! I have the same original since Riverside released this. My cover still has its original shine. The vinyl sounds real fine even it has been played a lot!

Alas they only have a listing of the Alto releases! Ubu, you're sounding more and more like a Frenchman Ozone releases: 1- Miles Davis with JJ and Getz, also - but without Miles -Dick Hyman, Gene Ammons and Stitt 2- Charlie Parker/Miles Davis/Lee Konitz Bird with strings, Miles tuba band 3- Billie Holiday at Esquire concert, Sound of Jazz 4- Charlie Parker/Fats Navarro/Bud Powell 1950 Birdland and Bird with Machito 5- Fats Navarro/Tadd Dameron Royal Roost broadcasts 6- Wardell Gray 7- Miles Davis/Lockjaw Davis/Art Blakey Birdland broadcasts 8- Miles Davis All Stars more Birdland with Don Elliott and McLean 9- Charlie Parker/Bud Powell/Fats Navarro more from Birdland 10- John Coltrane/Eric Dolphy Birdland broadcast 11- Oscar Peterson/Lee Morgan not together!

Gil Evans 'And Ten' (Prestige, 50thSt.)

Could this be the stuff that was also out on a SPOTLITE LP? (Title: "The Band That Never Was")? Yes... The Philology CD has a bit more: The Gene Roland session

chewy, bookmark this page: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Labels/index.html A very useful tool!

Yeah, right! The big band tunes are on side B!

The Japanese CD 'The Complete Lester Young' had previously unissued alternates of 'Sometimes I'm Happy', 'After Theater Jump' and 'Six Cats and a Prince'.

Ozone was one of Boris Rose's labels. The Basie big band listing for the broadcast from the Royal Roost is correct but it's Singleton Palmer on bass (not Wright). The Basie sextet lineup (for the last four tracks on side B) is: Clark Terry, Buck Clayton, Marshall Royal, Wardell Gray, Basie, Freddie Green, Jimmy Lewis, Gus Johnson. Broadcast from Birdland.

I never have enough Zoots. There are two (sometime three) of him on the date. Different album but I find it arresting. And if you care for more overdubbed Zoots, there is another ABC album 'Zoot Sims Plays Four Altos'. Both have been arranged by George Handy and have the same rhythm section: Johnny Williams, Knobby Totah and Gus Johnson. Intriguing and never short of interesting

Ruth Price with Shelly Manne & His Men 'At The Manne Hole' (Contemporary, Japan, stereo) with Conte Candoli, Richie Kamuca, Russ Freeman and Chuck Berghofer

And this one which obviously gave the title to the NY Times article...

Me too! I check their site off and on just to have an idea on the prospective value of an album. I know it's not The Bible!

Does anyone seriously care what Stewart Copeland thinks about jazz?

Herb Ellis and Freddie Green 'Rhythm Willie' (Concord)

Rahsaan plays 'I Say A Little Prayer', Live in 1969 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uRnvMwD6jM

A very interesting one. Proper is doing good. Caught sight today of a Kenny Clarke box from them 'Klook's The Man'. Will have to investigate that one...

I got my copy from Milford Graves -_-

I have never seen a copy of the original album! Even thought it was not released in Europe, only in the States.

Did not know it was Bob Hilbert's label. Hilbert is also the author of an excellent biography of Pee Wee Russell.

Chubby Jackson's Big Band 'Chubby's Back' (Argo, mono black label)

Pumpkin was a small label that released several albums in the '70s. The Hawk/Hines material comes from a March 14, 1965 Hines gig at the VV. Two albums originally came on Limelight 'Grand Reunion, vol. 1' and 'Grand Reunion, vol. 2'. More tunes from the date (without Hawk but with Roy Eldridge) were released on Xanadu (Earl Hines and Roy Eldridge at the Village Vanguard, Xanadu 106) and on the Pumpkin LP.
