Marty Krystall 'Ready for the 90s' (KB) with Warren Gale, Buell Neidlinger, Billy Higgins. Also Cecil Taylor on one track.

Nigella's cooking is alright and she does look prettier than Joel Robuchon! Still I'ld rather go to Robuchon's restaurant, if I could afford it!

You're probably right! Don't recall a date for the incident but it happened after a T-Bone Walker appearance. Will relisten to this with a new perspective!

Hot T-Bone appearance on that 'JATP in London 1969' album. A 1966 concert actually where Dizzy Gillespie and James Moody are among the musicians backing our man!

I'ld feel much better if there were less of these obituaries to post these days

Obituary in The Los Angeles Times.

Isn't 'Hum Dono' supposed to be reissued soon? If not, could provide a CDR if you're desperate! I had a copy of 'Le Temps Fou' when it was released but it seems to be lost I was at the recording session!

Stefano Bollani is one of the main participants (along with our own Organissimo) at the Tel Aviv Jazz Festival 2007!

Le Monde newspaper announces in its paper edition today (nothing about it in its online edition) that pianist Siegfried Kessler died. Kessler drowned last Monday in La Grande Motte, southern France, where ha indulged in his passion for sailing. He was one of the most interesting musician on the French scene. Kessler was born in 1935 in Sarrebrucken. He had played with Joe Henderson, Dexter Gordon, Archie Shepp among others. One of his most recent album was this collaboration with Archie Shepp: Story - in French - in today's 'Liberation' newspaper: http://www.liberation.fr/culture/musique/230994.FR.php

Interesting Brownie, how although we are from vastly different parts of the world, Garth, we seem to have quite a number of things going on together. My fixation with Susan Harrison started when I saw an article about her in 'Esquire' magazine shortly before 'Sweet Smell of Success' was released, when Esquire was a mighty interesting read! Her appearance in the film was full confirmation that she was something else!

Bet you don't hear the sound of a beer bottle falling over on an ECM album
