Hope it is going to be worth reading... Lee Morgan biography

The Ray Draper Quintet 'featuring John Coltrane' (New Jazz) with Gil Coggins on piano!

Young farmers, August Sander. Germany, around 1913. Matthew, for an inside view of Germany go have a look at the very beautiful and disturbing photos taken by August Sander!

Now you tell me! Actually, just going from the sound samples, the duet between Byard and Nance on a somber-sounding version of A-Train is the highlight of the album. mighty-quinn It's Roland Hanna on piano on that 'Take The A Train', says the liner notes to the vinyl!

The Ray Nance 'Body and Soul' actually was initially released on Solid State. Byard and Roland Hanna share piano chores.

Don Cherry/Dewey Redman/Charlie Haden/Eddie Blackwell 'Old and New Dreams' (Black Saint)

Progress report from The New York Times today:

Easy! Go to the top of the O. Forums page for the Search Music function. Type Hot vs. Cool Amazon.com CD Universe

The Herbie Nichols box was my initial purchase from Mosaic. When they were doing vinyl only. Got the BN CD set to enjoy it when driving. The set is among the most played music in the car.

Gene Ammons 'The Boss Is Back!' (Prestige, mono, blue label)

Brownie... you don't need to dance; you speak French. You win the 'hot guy' award by that alone... "Dang"! That's French in Indiana isn't it? OK Chuck, won't ask for a dance when we meet -_- Rachel, a gentlemanly lick to you No double entendre

Cannot paste the info on this release but the link gives June 17,1963 as the record date. Tracks lengths: disc 1, - Good Bait 19:32 - Out of This World 24:50 - Mr. PC 18:13 disc 2 - Afro Blue 11:47 - Solo fragment 0:47 - Impressions 35:31

An old favorite from director Frank Tashlin. As much as I enjoy watching the various artists perform, the main attraction of the film remains Jayne Mansfield

Hal McKusick 'The Jazz Workshop' (RCA Victor)

From Reuters:

Wish I did -_-

You might ask him about his involvment with the new music in the 60s and 70s. He seemed to stay on the edge of it. Any reason for this? Also could he talk about the hiatus in his musical career? He probably has interesting to say about it! I know you'll ask him about his relationship with Wayne Shorter. Grachan and Wayne were amazingly compatible.

Actually, looks like the prices of vintage BN vinyls are on the way up!

Doug Watkins 'Watkins At Large' (Transition BN/King Japan) with Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Kenny Burrell, Duke Jordan, Art Taylor

Bought a bunch of vinyls when I visited the BN offices twice. Standard prices for review copies (no Review stamps on those I got there) was $2,50 each. I was not wise enough to ask Frank Wolff to sign the copies. He would probably have shied away from doing it anyway!

Must have been the BNBB! The only jazz forum I took part in before it grew into Organissimo!

Hallelujah! The Truth is marching in!
