Happy Birthday, Christiern
brownie replied to neveronfriday's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
A very Happy Birthday to you And Thanks for being what you are -
Thanks Cayetano for the advisory. Would probably have been unaware ot the event if you had not posted this. 'Jazz Life' has got to be a huge book, 696 pages! Will have a look at it first before I envision to part with €150 ($200) on this. I hope to make it at the Taschen Paris store and catch Steve Potts too!
-
Mentioned or not, that's almost certainly a piccolo! ← I, too, heard a piccolo. Still do... Ira Gitler wrote the liner notes. Jerome is mentioned as playing flute and tenor sax on the album. Also alto flute on the next tune 'Delerious Trimmings'...

Ken Vail's 'Bird's Diary' confirms that March 12, 1955 was a Saturday. That poster looks like a prop. Sure Bird would have liked to play the gig. Would have loved to attend it

I´m afraid your link doesn´t work, brownie. ← How about this one? http://product.ebay.com/Midnight-Oil_UPC_0...7QQsoprZ3071022 I had several problems with links on my original post earlier today

The liner notes to John Anderson's LP 'Time Will Tell' produced on Ray Charles label Tangerine do not shed much light on his career except it notes he played with Count Basie, Benny Carter and Ray Charles. The notes add - as already mentioned - that 'his arrangings not only shows influences from these greats, but a Latin flavor derived from stints with Perez Prado, Rene Touzet, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez'. Then 'as an arranger, John Anderson is probably best known in musical circles for his contributions to the books of Count Basie, Harry James and Ray Charles.'

Introducing 'Phil Porter and his Organ' (UA Stereo) Bought this a long time ago at Mole Jazz in London. Lineup looked interesting (Howard McGhee, Harold Ousley, Paul Chambers, Art Taylor). The session does not sound as good as it should!
-
Now why did I overlook Jerome Richardson? Jim R. got it right. Track 2 fromthis one Zut alors!!! And that's Jerome on flute all the way. No piccolo intro mentioned. At least I got the trombone and piano players right!

Duke Ellington Epm Musique Hot N/ Sweet Vs.
brownie replied to BERIGAN's topic in Miscellaneous Music
The Hot 'n Sweet series was produced by a group of French jazz critics (including Jean Buzelin) and enthusiasts. Slightly different from the Masters of Jazz series and people. I think the Hot 'n Sweet series is not as thorough as the MofJ was! I have several of their Basie broadcasts CDs which came out before the MofJ releases and the latter ones sound better to my ears! Try this link for a look at a number of EPM jazz releases: http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Jean%20Buzelin:1927232148 Nice to see Berigan endorse products from France -

Happy Birthday Hope you are well... wherever you are! And come back and post here. You are being missed...

I'm trying to forget him every time I see the film The stuff of nightmares...
-
... so is the Edmund Hall! That one was hard to get on vinyl! I'ell keep my ears open to find out how good the mastering on these releases turn out to be!
-
This was music to be enjoyed. And I did dig this very much. I have given up trying to identify any further tracks. This is what I managed to get but I enjoyed the rest of it. 1- When I first heard this music (a long time ago!) I thought the players were just a bit too cool for my taste. Over the years I changed my impressions and by now I find the playing of these musicians red hot. The link is for a complete reissue. I have the music on a Japanese vinyl reissue of the Imperial original (could not find a link) Opening track from this. Smog 2- Well this wasn't Al and Zoot but close cousins. Perk was the one who led me to the right album. Love these discrete players! They never overwhelm and always manage to make their point. Track 4 Perk 3- Strangely it was the brief appearance by the guitar player that made me see the light. Another very discrete player but who always makes his presence felt. The tenor confrontation is a joy. Opening title from Challenge 4 -Who's in? Piccolo and trombone..., an odd match. This has to be Hank Jones on piano. Could not identify this particular recording. Gave up searching through Mr. Jones' discography. Just overwhelming. Pretty sure that's Jimmy Cleveland on trombone. Liked that and very curious about it. 5- The album was my introduction to the pianist (he is identified with an e added to his name in the liner notes personnel. This was superb music that still kicks today. A shame that the leader has not been asked to record more albums under his name. I think the sound for this session is not up to the standards set by the company's regular engineer! Never mind, I loved this album even if the ensembles could have gained from more rehearsals. A monster session by musicians that nearly all have disappeared. Coming 6- Excellent group. Is that Clifford Jordan? The trombone player seems to have been recorded a bit offmike. 7 - could not make up my mind at first whether I liked it or not. But after trying to iodentify this (and failing) I find myself getting into the spirit of this solitude! 8 - The alto player is an old favorite of mine, so was the bass player. It did not take long to guess who those players were. An excellent and underappreciated recent discovery. sunmoon 9 - Inspired playing here. Tried to guess who these players are. No luck! 10- More inspired playing. This has to be Chico's father but don't ask me where this comes from. 11- Catchy tune from a session that promised more than it actually delivered. Not as remarkable as the other ducal session with tenor from the same label. Opening track from this: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/product.asp...rc=vmg&pid=9559 12- Sweets and Jaws! But no 'Jawbreakers' (I checked that album). Another track I loved! 13- The master himself a bit past his prime. He knew how to pick the players in his band even if he managed to make life miserable for many of them. When I first heard this (back in vinyl days) I did not pay enough attention to the pianist. I do now. Another Master! Track 6 (you know...) http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PA...&cid=64666&fp=F 14 - Jazz simplicity at its best. Teddy, Red, Remo, Shavers. The gang's all here. Another one to enjoy to the Moon! http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=3881801 15 - Easy. Have all these Savoy recordings on French LPs. A shame these sides have (could?) not been reissued by the company. So much outstanding piano. The fact that so few of his albums are available has thrown this giant into obscurity. Serenade 16 - Clark Terry and the Trumpet Kings? Probably one of those Pablo albums that were issued so fast, it was hard to keep up with each nea releases. Those times have gone now! Many thanks Chris for reuniting these various tracks. Really enjoyed listening to them all! Edited to fix some links that did not work
-
OK! then it's The question now is ... why didn't the folks at BN/PJ think of reissuing those themselves
-
That's really too much and all of that in so short a time! We're all rooting for you here! Damn it can't go anywhere but up now...

A riot indeed! Wish the music to this had been released. Shorty Rogers and Barney Kessell played in the Three Little Bops band on the soundtrack music. And also Jimmy Giuffre if I remember well.
