  1. Volume 1 also came out as 83.507...
  2. You spying on me? Yes, I speak from vinyl! Sound on it is fine to my ears
  3. The funeral photo has been published in numerous magazines and books. Googling does not provide any photo. One book which has the photo is the invaluable Ken Vail's 'Bird Diary', page 175. Teddy Reig and Leonard Feather are among the people seen carrying the coffin. Other pallbearers were Louis Bellson, CharlieShavers, Lennie Tristano, Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt. Charles Mingus also appears on the photo.
  4. Not a Requiem, but close... Purcell 'O Solitude' as sung by Alfred Deller! Beauty at its purest.
  5. Yes, I deleted it because I assumed that people would read the first sentence and understand. Catching up on your answer only now. I did read the full post and noticed your go ahead. Was just stating my opinion on this matter. Nothing wrong with that, right?
  6. Not really my favorite type of party music, but I get kicks from Giuseppe Verdi's 'Requiem'. Also Mozart's and Berlioz's, also...
  7. A Happy Birthday to you
  8. Banyuls 'Domaine du Mas Blanc', Rimage 2000 Perfect for a Saturday afternoon
  9. We kept our mouth shut The guy who got it probably did not know any better
  10. Speaking of multiple covers, I have an ESP-Disk brochure from around that time which shows the album being released as 'The Psychedelic Sounds of Marion Brown' with a cover shot of a pensive Marion Brown. Nothing like the great shot by Charles Shabacon which adorns the cover of the first Marion Brown release on ESP 1022. Stollman changed the cover (and renamed) the 'Why Not' album when I came up to his offices with those Marion Brown slides!
  11. Did you take locals or expresses? Locals can take you to some very unusual places... Both! And we went to some pretty unusual places. My wife still gets goosepimples recalling the short stay we had in Albuquerque. We had a few minutes at the bus station and left the bus to catch some food. When we came back to reboard, we could not get to our seats. They were full of bloods. Some guy had been murdered while we were out of the bus. Welcome to Texas! Those Greyhound travels were something else. We foreigners had a great deal at the time. A $99 fare would let you travel anywhere you wanted within the USA and within 99 days. Friends of us did this before we did and highly recommended the opportunity. Glad we tool the ride! Only problem was that the Greyhound bus stations were downtown and there were not that many hotels/motels in those areas at the time!
  12. Sony Stitt 'Mellow' (Muse) with Jimmy Heath, Barry Harris, Richard Davis, Roy Haynes
  13. I traveled all around the USA with my wife back in 1976. A two-month voyage on Greyhound buses. From New York to SF via New Orleans and back via the plains. Loved it. We had plans to make a return visit to the western States but cancelled this when the wife got pregnant. Nowadays, our love affair with the States has ebbed! But one never knows! We talk about a new visit off and on...
  14. Yes! Bernard Stollman never returned the slides to me but obviously they went to other people I printed them some time ago and always keep them with the CDs, very nice ones! Good for you! The second one was taken at the entrance of the Jardins des Tuileries on the Place de la Concorde. The third one was taken in the gardens of the American Center in Paris where some incredible concerts were organised at the time (Sonny Murray, the AEC, Anthony Braxton and many others). The Center is now the Fondation Cartier. Not much music nowadays at the Fondation
  15. If you're talking about the JazzDoor boot of the 1965 Tivoli concert, I have not heard that one. Do they add much to the Golden Circle BN albums?
  16. The Great Jazz Trio 'The Great Toyko Meeting' (EastWind) TJFT was Hank Jones, Ron Carter, Tony Williams at the time!
  17. JSP is releasing a 4CD set of remastered Coleman Hawkins material. No details yet but it might be an interesting box.
  18. Yes! Bernard Stollman never returned the slides to me but obviously they went to other people
  19. From The Los Angeles Times
  20. I've still got about 100 of the damn things from Pathe Macaroni ! Time to put them on ebay, perhaps? The bad BN-completist I am threw dozens of those posters away But I kept several of them -_-
  21. thanks! are there any spots where they sing together? They sing on two tracks 'Before the Lights Go On' and 'Free to Dance'. Sheila Jordan is on the left channel, Jeanne Lee on the other. A beautiful album!
  22. Cannonball's first recording date. Original release: some other releases:
  23. Warne Marsh 'Warne Out' (Interplay) with Jim Hughart on bass and Nick Ceroli on drums One of my favorite Marsh!
  24. Wasn't that the one that got the Parisian scene, sort of 'a la Reach Out' ? I think it just showed some railroad tracks and a train station. That's the one ! Can't recall having seen that railroad tracks cover
  25. Seems CBS did not think the music was fit for the U.S. tastes in music!
