Never saw that CD but I am ready to take bets that we will soon a reissue of the reunited two albums from our Spanish friends

Wow, good to have FreshSound take care of those ABC sessions that sat for too many years without anybody doing anything about them!

Bud Freeman and his SummaCumLaude Orchestra 'Live from the Panther Room' (Blue Rhythm) 1940 broadcasts with Max Kaminski, PeeWee Russell and the gang!

I have both UAs. The Mulligan is filed in its regular place. Can't remember where the soundtrack album is stored Not under Johnny Mandel. Love that album. Wish I could give it a listen. Very soon, I hope...

chewy, take it you're speaking of this album (on United Artists), 'Gerry Mulligan - The Jazz Combo From I Want To Live' (with Farmer, Rosolino, Shank, Jolly, Red Mitchell and Manne) Because the superb original soundtrack music - also on UA - with full orchestra of the Johnny Mandel score was this other one: In any case, you can relax. Both were recorded in LA and come with the West Coast Certified stamp

Paul Secor speaks the truth! As usual... Too bad the announced volume 2 of the Clifford Brown Pure Genius series with more private tapes from Larue Brown's collection never materialized.

Kenny Dorham 'Jazz Contrasts' (Riverside, stereo, black label)

Elektra Musician was quite a label. Some of their very worthy have been listed. I would add some of the material they unearthed: - Charlie Parker 'One Night In Washington' - Clifford Brown 'Pure Genius' - Bud Powell 'Inner Fires' - Lennie Tristano 'New York Improvisations' - Dizzy Gillespie 'One Night in Washington' I was happy to be around when these were released and still get kicks out of those albums! and many more from that label!

Quotes from the sleeves of another batch of Elektra Musicians LPs... 'What I do is look at the world around me, compiling a sort of information bank within my mind to draw upon at any moment. Basically I'm just playing or composing and feeding off of whatever I see through my eyes and I write the way I feel about it' George Duke ''Milestones' is the definitive jazz album. If you want to know what jazz is, listen to that album. It embodies the spirit of everyone who plays jazz' Tony Williams Thelonious Monk... was not exactly (the boy next door'' Dexter Gordon 'I always practice with saxophone players. I find when you get around trumpet players you get into competitive playing - who can play the loudest and the highest. After you develop your own style, you don't want to get into that because you find out that you can't. I couldn't play 'The Flight of the Bumblebee' like Doc Severinson. I couldn't play as tricky as Dizzy. I couldn't play as pretty as Miles. So I tried to find something for myself out of all of them, and then I take it from there' Freddie Hubbard 'All those brothers who went down so fast, Bird, Clifford, Wardell, Tatum, Bud,; Billie, Trane... the names read like an honor roll plaque. Seems like they barely lasted through the springtime of their lives... casualties on the road to truth' Hampton Hawes 'There are four qualities essential to a great jazzman. They are taste, courage, individuality and irreverence. Those are the qualitizq I want to retain in my music' Stan Getz 'Music is supposed to wash away the dust of everyday life' Art Blakey

New Solal solo album due from CAM Jazz. 'Solitude' recorded in April 2005

Lunceford! No doubt about it! Now playing a Proper box -_- Tubby Hayes 'Little Giant'

Durium, I had a shock when I read your topic Thought there was a Laurindo Almeida - Bud Powell album! Suggest you fix the thread title!

Steve Lacy 'Evidence with Don Cherry' (New Jazz)

John Litweiler praises Mobley's 'arranging talents' in his liner notes to 'Third Season'!

Fresh Sound is releasing this James Clay disc: Dustygroove's comment on the release: Some key recordings by Texas tenorman James Clay -- all sides he made upon first hitting the LA scene of the mid 50s -- served up here as one core album, plus great bonus tracks! 8 of the 14 titles on the CD are from the rare Jazz West session Tenorman -- a date recorded under the leadership of drummer Lawrence Marable in 1956! The group was an LA one, but it featured members from other parts of the country -- drummer Lawrence Marable, bassist Jimmy Bond, pianist Sonny Clark, and Texas tenorman James Clay, whose rich tone and soulful inventiveness dominate the session. The whole thing's got a wonderfully laidback groove -- like some of the best Sonny Criss work on Imperial -- and apart from a brief CD reissue in the 80s, the material's always been quite tough to find. Titles include "Airtight", "Easy Living", "Minor Meeting", "Marbles", and "Three Fingers North". The bonus tracks here are all from the same stretch -- and really help expand out the same sound. One title features Clay working with Bobby Timmons on piano, Jimmy Bond on bass, and Peter Littman on drums, on "In A Sentimental Mood"; one more features Clay with a quartet that features Lorraine Geller on piano, playing "It's Alright With Me" on the Stars Of Jazz TV Show; and the last 4 numbers feature Clay and Geller with Red Mitchell on bass and Billy Higgins on drums, working in the studio on "Scrapple From The Apple", "Out Of The Blue", "Sandu", and "Cheek To Cheek".

An earlier thread on the subject... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...79&hl=midem

If you're in Stockholm for a week, take time to visit the wreckage of the Wasa ship on one of the central islands of the city: Not much a fan of this type of boats but the presentation of this one is really stupendous. That's the ship which sank in the Stockholm harbour during its maiden voyage in 1625. It was brought to the surface in 1960! and was fished out of the muddy waters 335 years later.

James Brown died over a month ago... He still has to be buried
