A favorite Teagarden album is the 'A Hundred Years From Today' CD that came out on the Grudge label. Recorded at the Monterey festival in 1963. It was a happy reunion of the Teagarden family and also featured guests like Pee Wee Russell, Gery Mulligan and Joe Sullivan. Teagarden at his most relaxed and enjoyable best.

This was recorded last year in Germany in 2005. No details available yet...

Lucky Thompson 'I Offer You' (Groove Merchant)

'Unhas' was a widely used word in the pre-internet journalistic world when newspeople sent their stories by telegraphic lines and every word counted! Obviously spent too much time in that world

I bow my head in confusion at not having identified which album this was taken from. At least I identified the tune! Happy to see you found a copy of it. I remember you asked me - a long time ago - to make a copy of this rare disc and you were pretty curse when I replied I could not copy from vinyl (still can't). I'll dig this vinyl up to relisten to it. Haven't spinned it in a long time! Glad I joined the list... You did include quite a number of tracks from albums I was not aware of

Up! For anyone who still unhas the Jimmy Lyons box, Ayler Records have a special offer that ends on September 30. Grab this while you can! http://www.ayler.com/

No, she is not. The Doris Duke of Falcon Lair was a famous heiress. This is the Wikipedia article on her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Duke

Yes, Sidewinder, very nice, that Gonsalves now spinning: Earl Hines 'Hines Comes in Handy' (Audiophile) a recently rediscovered - for me - gem!

Mingus at Chateauvallon 1972 was one but Esoldun released 'Meditation' and 'Live in Paris 1964, vol. 2' (which Sue Mingus reused for a reissue of her own). There also was a Chet Baket at Chateauvallon 1978 which - unless I am wrong - has been reissued recently by the Andorrans...

Not sure all of them have come up yet. The Monks and Minguses, some Bill Evans... I have not seen the Roland Kirks, Coleman Hawkins, Earl Hines, etc... But the Andorran folks may well be working on filling the gaps

Bertrand, until recently INA was like a fortress. Very difficult to enter and nearly impossible to come out from the place with anything unless you paid the price which could be sky high. However there have been cracks recently and most noticeably when they opened their video archives. http://www.ina.fr/index.en.html You can peek inside, lots of free stuff but if you want the full videos you've got to pay the price. But I have not been able to get a look at the video of the Love Supreme 1965 concert by Coltrane at the Juan les Pins festival. I'm not sure they still have that even if it's supposed to be archived at their place. No idea who to contact there for a good look at what they have archived. All I know is that they have plenty. The jazz albums they put out back around 1990 had some incredible concert tapes. They were released on the Esoldun label. Stuff rom Coltrane, Monk, Roland Kirk, Charles Mingus, Stuff Smith, Coleman Hawkins, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Bill Evans among many others. Those CDs disappeared when INA was taken to court by the Monk, Bill Evans, Mingus estates among others. INA was fined a stiff sentence and they have kept away from handling any of those archives. Doubt they are ready to get back on that field for the time being.

Real sad news! Always liked the band he led in the fifties and sixties!

Paul Gonsalves 'Humming Bird' (Deram)

The French CBS vinyl has a note in French indicating the album was recorded by 'la Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française' and was published with the RTF and the Festival organizers' authorizations. The tapes should be now in the hands of INA (Institut National de l'Audiovisuel', the government body where all radio and TV tapes from the government broadcasts company are being preserved.

Didn't realize this! Probably because 'trumpet' is 'trompette' in French. Not that big mistake a by later days BN standars!

you mean, larry kart, not paul secor... and larry kart has shared more of the story in some other thread IIRC (a "what did you do the day bean died" thread, or something) (thank you Mr Kart) chewy, you being a Hawk fan should read John Chilton's book 'The Song of the Hawk'. Song of the Hawk Pretty good biography of our hero. The book has a detailed account of Larry Kart's reminiscences of the Hawkins episode.

'Cote Blues' was recorded at the 1963 Antibes/Juan les Pins jazz festival one day before the 'Miles a Antibes' which was the original title of the French CBS release of the 'Miles in Europe' album. The French CBS vinyl has slightly better sound than the US issue. 'Cote Blues' is just about as good. I still see secondhand copies from time to time over here.

To my knowledge, there´s no available Coleman Hawkins online discography. Is there a full discography available in any medium? There were two volumes of a thorough Coleman Hawkins discography published several years ago. Compiled by Jean-François Villetard. The third volume never did make it, as far as I know... Volume 1
