From AP: In newspeak, long illness usually means cancer!

I would make that any bandstand or recording studio--ever again! Coltrane's Yoko Ono!

I heard the Woody Shaw-Nathan Davis group several times at the Chat Qui Pèche club on the Rue de la Huchette. Larry Young was on piano and Billy Brooks on drums, Jacky Samson was usually on bass. There was little room (and not enough money) for an organ in the cellar so Larry Young played piano only! The interview refers to Madame Ricard as owning 'the Chateau Paris'. No idea what this refers to! Madame Ricard was no 'Madame' but a true French Resistance heroine. She looked a little like Edith Piaf and was hardly taller than the singer. She may have been petite, but she was a great Lady! I miss the evenings at the Chat Qui Pèche!

What bothers me most about this one is that it is pushed so loud that there is actual distortion in places. I mean, this is NOT the image of a healthy soundwave... Those graphics hurt my ears

If you're speaking about the Jazz In Paris chronology booklet, all I can say is that it is not on public display and is being kept in lockers at the FNAC stores which are the only stores that distribute this book. But the booklet is in french AND english so there could be a chance that it will find its way to non-French FNAC stores

Kenny Dorham 'Jazz Contrasts' (Riverside, stereo, black label) Great harp playing by Betty Glamman

Hans, I'm afraid you're right Mike, I'm afraid you're wrong! The Cuscuna/Ruppli BN Label discography book (first edition 1988) states that the first session recorded by BN in both mono and stereo was the May 8, 1957 session (Horace Silver 'The Stylings of Silver'). Or has this Bible been proved wrong?

Oh yes, some very good films won but have a quick look at some that did not win (or were not even nominated): - 'City Lights' was not nominated. 'Cimarron' won! - 'Duck Soup' was not nominated. 'Cavalcade' won! - 'Modern Times' was not nominated. 'The Great Ziegfield' won! - 'The Night of the Hunter' was not nominated. 'Marty' won! - 'The Searchers' was not nominated. 'Around the World in 80 Days' won! not to mention: - 'White Heat' was nominated, 'All the King's Men' won! - 'Singin' In The Rain' was nominated. 'The Greatest Show on Earth' won! - 'North By Northwest' was nominated. 'Ben Hur' won! And there are many more...

The worst-sounding BN vinyl I have is a BN Liberty of this All Stars session. It's one of those dreadful 'Electronically Re-recorded to simulate STEREO' job! Sounds flat and - oh, yes -muddy! Still waiting to get a reissue in good sound...

I pray that when Walt Dickerson makes a reappearance, Alice Coltrane will not be allowed near the bandstand

Jimmy Rushing 'Listen to the Blues' (Vanguard)

A very Happy Birthday to you

Milt Hinton and Friends 'Here Swings the Judge' (Famous Door) the Friends include Ben Webster, Frank Wess and Budd Johnson among others!

Very interesting link One more reason for not paying much attention to the Academy Awards circus!

Betty Glamann who recorded Kenny Dorham's 'Jazz Contrasts' on Riverside! She was also marvelous with the Oscar Pettiford big band recordings on ABC! She did wonders with that non-jazz instrument. Wish I had heard more of Janet Putman who did good work with the Jazz Modes and was also picked to play harp in the Miles Davis/Gil Evans album 'Sketches of Spain'. Have yet to hear a Dorothy Ashby date that really impresses me but I have not heard many!

Dmitry, the Stockholm 1961 is among the concerts included in that box. If you're still confused about the content, check this David Wild corrected list for the box content!

Paul Bley 'Turning Point' (Improvising Artists Inc.) with John Gilmore, Gary Peacock and Paul Motian (Billy Elgart on two tracks)

There are some incredible videos on that site... Anybody checked the Charles Mingus one (with Dolphy, Clifford Jordan, Johnny Coles...), the Blakey Jazz Messengers 1961 video with Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Bobby Timmons..., the Bill Evans, Miles, etc...?

That Jackie and Roy was released soon after it was recorded. Storyville became inactive in the late '50s.

The full Charles Mingus Records catalogue was: - Mingus at Monterey (JWS 001/002) - Charles Mingus Town Hall Concert 1964, vol. 1 (JWS 005) - Charles Mingus, My Favorite Quintet, vol. 1 Performed at Tyrone Guthrie Theater (JWS 009) - Charles Mingus: Music Written for Monterey, 1965 Not Heard, Played at UCLA, vol. 1 (JWS 0013/0014) Then they were none...

Oh Shucks -_- Thanks should go to Brandon for initializing this and taking care of it!

Michel, what you have seems to be that Stockholm concert John Coltrane Live It's bootlegged material. Essential!

The Lester Young pork pie hat has the prime space in my 'music room'! There is another Herman Leonard poster (Charlie Parker at the Royal Roost) in another corner!

I have the Japanese vinyl reissue of the Storyville album 'Jackie and Roy'. An old favorite album with oustanding interpretations of 'Lazy Afternoon'and 'Dahuud' among others. Recorded in May 1955. It does include 'Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most'. Liner notes by Alec Wilder who wrote 'And among the unknown songs they have happened on a very effective ballad, off-beat though it may sound at first hearing Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most

The 2LP gatefold cover I have looks like this reissue! Mingus at Monterey. The back cover has liner notes by Charles Mingus. I still have the foldout brochure from the Charles Mingus Record Club that came with it, the one that includes a notice for a $1,000 reward for information about bootlegs of these albums.
