Vinyls purchases this weekend: - Ben Webster 'In Hot House' (with Tete Montoliu on piano) a Dutch release which includes a four-page booklet - in Dutch - an LP that looks like a rare one. It was issued to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Hot House club in Leiden, Holland, with Ben Webster in superb form, - 'L'Aventure du Jazz' a twofer release on Jazz Odyssey of the music recorded by people like Vic Dickenson, Buddy Tate, Budd Johnson, Cliff Jackson, Willie The Lion Smith, etc... for the film 'L'Aventure du Jazz' by Louis and Claudine Panassié (with liner notes by Hugues Panassié, Louis' father!), - Eddie Durham (with Jimmy Nottingham, Red Richards, Leonard Gaskin, etc...) on British RCA, one of the sessions recorded by Albert McCarthy in 1973/1974. All excellent copies at very reasonable prices!

Happy Birthday AB You're being missed here!

Allen, my French is obviously better than yours -_- I see Eric Dolphy appearances on vol. 3, 4 and 5 of the series!

On the website of JazzHot, the French review, you can have a look at a list of private records by Clifford Brown that has been compiled by Paolo Piangiarelli of Philology Records. 27 albums not available for sale! This is the link: http://www.jazzhot.net/fr/indexfr.html Click on the cover image of Clifford Brown and go to the line 'enregistrements non officiels' in the Clifford Brown section. Wait a few seconds for the link to work... Quite an impressive list!

Tete Montoliu 'Yellow Dolphin Street' (Timeless) Randy Weston 'African Rhythms' (Le Chant du Monde)

Happy Birthday, Clifford Wishing you a great year...and many more!

Paul, don't think it has ever been reissued (same goes for the other marvels from the Chant du Monde piano series). The Byard is a wonderful album. Somehow it was in the wrong place and I only managed to locate it a few days ago! Glad I spinned that one... Now enjoying: Dave McKenna 'A Celebration of Hoagy Carmichael' (Concord) Another amazing piano player!

Before Fresh Sound went legitimate, I would say most of the reissue material they released on vinyl came from good vinyl copies they bootlegged happily! Correct me if I'm wrong!

Ubu, your enthusiastic recommendations have me wanting to relisten to these with fresh ears!

Jaki Byard 'Flight of the Fly' (Le Chant du Monde) The Jazztet 'Moment to Moment' (Soul Note) The 1983 band with Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Benny Golson, Mickey Tucker, Ray Drummont and 'Tootie' Heath

Bol, have not been to Amsterdam in a long time. But I can recommend one store 'Record Palace'. It's located at Weteringschans 33 in central Amsterdam. It's opposite Paradiso! Phone is (020) 6223904. People from the store have come to Paris off and on for record conventions and I have purchased from them. They have pretty reasonable prices and have quite a number of Dutch jazz albums.

A favorite piano duo I should have mentioned earlier: Martial Solal and Hampton Hawes 'Key For Two' (Byg)

Some other piano duos (there are plenty more, I am sure!): - Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn Piano Duets 'Great Times!', the Mercer sides that came out on Riverside, - Paul Bley and Bill Evans on a couple of sides from the George Russell album 'Jazz In The Space Age' (Decca), - Tommy Flanagan and Kenny Barron 'Together' (Denon), - John Lewis & Hank Jones 'An Evening With Two Grand Pianos' (Little David/Atlantic), - John Lewis & Hank Jones 'Piano Play House' (Toshiba)

Lon is right! Wonderful sessions! These were originall issued by Epic and were pretty hard to get until Classics and Epic reissued the three original albums on vinyl! a decade ago! Wonder why they did not reissue these on CDs themselves and had the sessions stolen by the Andorran pirates?

Yes, it was. But the sound was not good. Pretty dull as was the case on many of those FreshSound vinyl reissues at the time!

Teddy Edwards 'Nothin' But The Truth!' (Prestige, blue label)

'True Blue' on the rise again. $2,138 with two more days to go! Tina Brooks!

One Select I'ld love to see come alive would be the Monday Night at Birdland sessions that was released by Roulette. The Monday Night with Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Hank Mobley, Billy Root, Ray Bryant, etc... This produced two albums. Pretty sure there is additional material available from that Monday Night. In the words of whoever ('Symphony Sid' Torin?) wrote at the end of the liner notes for the second volume: 'This is the second in a series - it calls for still ''another Monday night at Birdland''...' Still true!

Bertrand, William Claxton who took the image on the album cover has another photo of Land and Mitchell at the scene in his recently published opus 'Jazz Life' (page 346). He says it was taken at a site undergoing destruction in Los Angeles. No other detail!

The Miles Davis Olympia set is as legitimate as the Stockholm set. I love that one but prefer the Paris box. Coltrane goes on a wild ride in the first Olympia concert and the end result is stupendous!

Happy Birthday, Nate

So does this, 65K Charlie Parker sketch

Got a first taste from the new series, #13 (Wardell Gray & Dexter Gordon). That's the one which also has quartet tracks from 1953 by Tony Scott. The CD is a copy from the Japanese vinyl MCA album 'The Chase and Steeplechase' which also had the same Gray&Gordon plus Tony Scott configuration. The album notes carry a color image of the MCA cover plus the back notes, in Japanese! Sound is not bad at all and was obviously lifted from a good copy of this vinyl.
