Jimmy Hamilton 'It's About Time' (Swingville) with Clark Terry and Britt Woodman

Lots of sympathy from here. Hate to see this type of situations come up, especially to good people. Hope there will be no unwarranted bitterness from both sides. Cannot offer much in terms of advice except to be strong and move on.

Who supports him? Deep leavened his insults with humor. This guy just rants. Nobody will miss him. I hate to lose friends

I like that Steve Smith fellow. Found the CD at the Academy shop in NYC several years ago. Quite an interesting tenorsax player who also sings in a Frank Rosolino way, only wilder! Only part of the session is on that Steve Smith Quartet release. The balance is on another CD from the Jazz in Hollywood Series 'Virgil Gonsalves Sextet/Steve Smith Quartet/Quintet

Bertrand, the track orders for Here's Lee Morgan and Second Genesis match the listings on the original VeeJays I have. Have only later releases of the other albums.

Roy Eldridge 'Happy Time' (Pablo) with Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Ray Brown, Eddie Locke

No, he's mad that you EU dudes won't give up your FN !!!!!!!!! That one stays on this side of the Atlantic

The original BN/Liberty lists Marvin Cabell on tenor (alsoflute and saxello). The CD release added four tracks to the original six ones. George Coleman was also on tenor on three of the added tracks.

Wolff! Bad cigar???

At least he later apologized to the deputies and admitted he was 'deeply ashamed of everything I said'. Just another antisemite

Required reading over here for anyone from 7 to 77! I have not returned to the Tintins for a number of years (waiting to be past 77 to enjoy the adventures of this character). Kalo already listed some of the best ones (personal favorites are the two Moon volumes!). I also have fond memories of 'L'Ile Noire' (The Black Island) and 'L'Affaire Tournesol' (The Calculus Affair). But watch out, this is a very addictive susbtance!

Floyd Landis is holding a news confence in Madrid right now! He is proclaiming his innocence... Floyd Landis news conference

The Red Mitchell date with Zoot Sims and Claude Williamson was issued on Affinity. It was paired with another Bethlehem session by Stan Levey with Zoot, Conte Candoli, Jimmy Giuffre, etc... The Affinity vinyl came under the title 'West Coast Rhythm'.

Happy Birthday, Gary

Johnny Griffin 'Way Out!' (Riverside, mono, blue label) One of Griff's very best (with that Riverside house rhythm section of Kenny Drew, Wilbur Ware and Philly Joe Jones!

When I was in Philadelphia several years ago - short visits - I stuck to the Inquirer -_- Found the Daily News item while googling for jazz items...

From the Philadelphia Daily News today:

Bertrand, as soon as I trace the damn copy. May take some time. It's a vinyl jungle back here

Bertrand, those George Wallington at Cafe Bohemia came out on the Progressive label. Can't lay my hands on the second album right now but I remember they had different takes of the same tunes!

Uh... well he got found out, so it seems he didn't learn them that well... The Phonak team does not have the same budgets that the Armstrong teams had!

I still have that Japanese reissue which looks better (and probably sounds better) than the pretty battered original I saw once and which sold for an unspeakable number of dollars. I have to pull out my still mint copy every time Weizen mentions it and enjoys it thoroughly Monterose's playing on 'In Salah' is one of his very best appearances. Also like the bass trumpet playing of Jerry Lloyd, a rare opportunity to listen to him! Can't get enough of Wallington's brillant original piano playing. In the liner notes, Wallington mentions Clarence Profit among his favorite pianists and adds 'Profit had a way of using two notes in each hand that no one else had gotten into by the time he died in 1945.' Wallington does just that on some of his solos, specially on the Monterose composition 'Jouons'.

Wish I was in San Diego these days. Kenny Burrell will turn 75 on July 31 and is celebrating with several attractive gatherings. Starting tonight. From The Mercury News today:

Floyd learned his lessons from his former boss Lance Armstrong!

Red Garland 'Steppin' Out' (Galaxy) with Kenny Burrell, Ron Carter and Ben Riley
