A favorite Pete Jolly moment is his accordion playing on 'My Man's Gone Now' from Buddy Collette's 'Modern Interpretations of Porgy & Bess' on Interlude. This was resurrected in a Jim Hall Lonehill CD 'The Unreleased Sessions'!

Yes, should have recognized Leonard's talent. Great book that 'L'Oeil du Jazz'!

The Apple is rotten

Same here, re that vol. 4!

This is the cover of the 'Zoot Sims In Paris' UA album with Henri Renaud, Bob Whitlock and Jean-Louis Vialle. No photographer's credit on my copy!

My 7 Wonders: - Acropolis, - Colosseum, - Alhambra, - Pyramids of Ginza, - Taj Mahal, - Petra, - Machu Picchu Hope to see those last three before my days on earth are done

Trip came out in the '70s. They had a deal with Mercury and reissued a lot of vinyls from the EmArcy/Mercury/Limelight catalogue. Minimum work on the covers, sonics and pressings. They later released material from VeeJay, Jubilee and other sources including radio broadcasts and then disappeared!

The March 15 and the March 16, 1956 sessions were reunited on vol. 22 of the Vogue/EMI series. The CD came under the title 'Zoot Sims in Paris' in 1990. Might be hard to find (but much less than those 10-inchers!). The March 16 session was released in the EMI 'Americans Swinging in Paris' not too long ago!

Happy Birthday, Clifford Be careful, you're really getting old

I have that Alpert/Jolly LP. Bought a promotional copy dirt cheap. Played it once and filed it with other albums I'm not really happy with! Much too tame piano paying. I keep his RCA (and other) albums.

Larry, I see your point and saw Zoot Sims playing in that condition. You referred to this also in a chapter of your book 'Jazz In Search of Itself'. But I'll take a drunk Zoot over the vast majority of sober tenor players any time

Zoot Sims Meets Jimmy Rowles 'If I'm Lucky' (Pablo) The opening track '(I Wonder) Where Our Love Has Gone' is a marvel!

That explains why I missed them... I never look at the BN covers with female cover shots

Can't remember BN using any photo by Reid Miles. Strange that he was not the one who designed this cover!

Another good reason to have young people like Danielle around here!

The Jimmy Owens-Kenny Barron Quintet 'You Had Better Listen' (Atlantic, stereo)

Not a bad apple in the Pablo Sims basket! I go along with White Lighning. The albums with Jimmy Rowles are essentials. Favorites would be 'Warm Tenor','If I'm Lucky' 'and I Wish I Were Twins'. Another great Sims/Rowles is Zoots 'Party' on Choice. Zoot Sims was a giant!

I'm pretty sure this has been posted somewhere here before... but thought we could all use a rerun

From The New York Times today.

Looks like a leftover from one of those Eurovision song contests

This one: It has all the sessions recorded by Pete Rugolo for EmArcy/Mercury with the cream (at least the vast majority) of the West Coast musicians from July to November 1956. The various tracks appeared on albums like 'Music For Hifi Bugs', 'Brass In Hifi', 'Reeds In Hifi', 'Out on a Limb' ... Plenty of solos by the likes of Don Fagerquist, Pete Candoli, Frank Rosolino, Ronny Lang, Bud Shank, Howard Roberts, etc... Shelly Manne is on drums throughout and Joe Mondragon is also on all tracks and provides superb bass playing!

I'm past ANCIENT... ...but I remember the high school days when other highschoolers and I discussed Miles Davis' latest albums and dress attire. That was when Miles was appearing at the Club St.Germain here after recording the soundtrack to 'Ascenseur Pour l'Echafaud'.
