Leo Parker did not get the Mosaic treatment like Chaloff, but he at least got some kind of recognition when his discography was included in the Serge Chaloff Biography/Discography by Vladimir Simosko that was published by Scarecrow Press.

From the Las Vegas Sun today: Banks was featured on one of the Jazz In Paris albums. Vol. 18 'Jazz de Chambre' which also had sides by Bobby Jaspar. Banks session included Bob Dorough on piano, Jimmy Gourley on guitar and Roy Haynes on drums. Banks played bass on the date. Jay Cameron who was also in Paris for a long time is mentioned as playing trumpet. He played baritone sax years ago...

There are tons of vinyls I just do not want to get. My buying days are over (or almost). My vinyl want list has thinned over the years. There are still a couple of albums that did not make it to CD that I am still looking for. Found one of those (a UA issue) but it was way overpriced. Also I want the vinyls not the CDR copies I have been offered by friends here! Michael Fitzgeral wrote: A bad habit I had at the time was tearing up shrinkwraps as soon as I bought albums. So it was - and remains - unsealed. Still looks very shiny except for a nearly invisible trace of ringwear that mixes with Bill Dixon's hair on top of the closeup that adorns the cover! Other vinyls that should be out on CD, both from Randy Weston: - 'Destry Rides Again' (another UA) that Weston did not want included on his Mosaic Select. - Randy Weston/Lem Winchester 'New Faces at Newport' (MetroJazz)

I still remember Bill Dixon teenage son's delight at finding the album when he too a look at my vinyls. 'Look Dad, he's got your record!' he shouted to his father who visited my place with friends including Steve Horenstein when he first came to Paris. This must have been in 1970.

This was included in a 3 disc set titled Scratching the Seventies. Others included are Scraps, Dreams, Roba and The Owl. ← Didn't realize the set included all the music from the Saravah albums. Starting to search around for a copy! Thanks for showing the right direction! Once more...

Incredibly marvellous stuff! Many thanks for sharing with us!

Several albums on UA and MetroJazz have yet to make it to CDs. Not to speak of the Horo, BeeHive and others catalogue... Some French vinyls I'm still waiting for a CD appearance: - Georges Arvanitas 'Soul Jazz' (Columbia) - Marion Brown 'Le Temps Fou' (Polydor) - Nathan Davis Quartet 'Jazz Concert' (Edici) - Steve Lacy 'Lapis' (Saravah) - François Tusques 'Le Nouveau Jazz' (Mouloudji) - Rene Urtreger Trio (Versailles) - Maurice Vander 'Du Cote de Chez Swing' (Night and Day) also all the splendid albums Bernard Peiffer recorded for Decca in the USA!

John Coltrane 'Live at the Half Note' (AudioFidelity), disc 1. Discs 2 and 3 will be up next

Let's not forget... 1955 - Jo Jones (Emmet Berry, Bennie Green, Lucky Thompson, Count Basie, Nat Pierce, Freddie Green, Walter Page, Jo Jones) record session for Vanguard (Jo Jones Special)

I've got a Japanese CD issue of that with this cover: But the OBI shows the Fontana cover posted above. Go figure. IIRC, this albm was also 1/2 of the Arista/Freedom 2-fer LP Copenhagen and Haarlem. ← That's the cover of the original vinyl issue on International Polydor. No credit given for the designer. A shame! The black blood spills all the way to the bottom of the back cover!

The album was already discussed last year (and probably the year before): http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...monuments&st=15 Since I doubt the album will ever be reissued, I'll keep my copy and make a killing with it on eBay several years from now

Got both 'Blood' and 'Touching' when they came out in the late sixties when there was not much interest in Bley's music. 'Blood' came out first on 'International Polydor'. It was subtitled 'Paul Bley in Haarlem'. Mark Levinson - a name familiar to people interested in HiFi now - was on bass then. Heard the Bley trio with Levinson perform at the Comblain festival Belgium in 1966, the year these two albums were recorded. A superb trio! International Polydor vinyls were manufactured in Germany by Deutsche Grammophon.

I have three Metheny vinyls: Pat Metheny Group (ECM), that was the first one wanted to test the waters, then came: Pat Metheny 80/81 (ECM) which I bought mainly for Dewey Redman, Haden and DeJohnette and later: Song X (Geffen), guess why! That's three all filed under M. Have not bothered with buying more Metheny's albums since...

This thread is a pain to read So frustrating Can't stand the wait until the album reaches our shores...

I have stuck for years with the vinyl releases (8 volumes, some Swaggies, the rest from Classic Jazz, 1970 anonymous remastering). My interest in those Rounders has been raised! Hope the price won't be prohibitive!

I did not buy this when it was still available because I had most of the Flip Phillips sides and I did not care that much for the Ventura sessions. I have changed my mind on Ventura by now. That's one of the Mosaics I should have gotten!

Got this when it came out. Advance word was that it was not monumental. So I was not disappointed when I listened to it. I still have the original vinyl. Don't play it as often as favorite McLean stuff but I don't think it's as bad as its reputation!

More August 10: 1949 - Eddie Vinson (Eddie Davis, Wynton Kelly, Lee Abrams, etc...) record session for King 1950 - Muggsy Spanier and his Dixieland Band (Harry Graves, Darnell Howard, Floyd Bean, Truck Parham) record session for Mercury 1952 (also August 12) - Duke Ellington and his Orchestra record session for Columbia (Duke Ellington Uptown) 1954 (also Sept. 1) - Buddy de Franco Quartet (Sonny Clark, Gene Wright, Bobby White) record session for Norgran (In a Mellow Mood) 1959 - Louis Bellson and his Orchestra (John Audino, Juan Tizol, Earl Swope, Herb Geller, Oliver Nelson, etc...) record session for Verve (The Brilliant Bellson Sound) 1988 - Birelli Lagrene (Koono, Dennis Chambers, etc...) record session for BN (Foreign Affairs)

Marty, found your discs when I rebased home today. Many thanks! Will listen and report back over the weekend...

What did Ulmer do that might be termed "great"? Certainly not this film--it was as amateurish as they come--dreadful, trite script, wooden acting, painfully pedestrian camera work, and direction that never rises above that of the worst of Oscar Micheaux's films. I just Googled Ulmer and see that he made some 128 films--this one looks like no thought had gone into it. The writer of the online bio does mention that his output includes a lot of "dross." ← Edgar Ulmer is a film director who made a lot of lowbudget (even very low budget) films which is why many seem amateurish. He rarely was allowed to direct films that allowed him to express himself. Two of his best films still remain very obscure. One is an incredibly beautiful western (with Arthur Kennedy as its star!) called 'The Naked Dawn', the other is a film noir classic from 1945 'Detour'. He also directed a number of films in yiddish that are very rarely seen nowadays. Jean-Luc Godard dedicated one of his films to Ulmer, John Cassavettes and Clint Eastwood!

I erred when I posted that I suspected Adidas pressured Zidane into making his comeback with the French national team. The call for action came from way beyond... From AP: Zidane, the new Joan of Arc Just what France needed!

That's a rare film directed by the great Edgar G. Ulmer. Wish I had seen it... This is the entry on the film from David Meeker's Jazz on the Screen website: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cocoon/ihas/loc.natl...32/default.html

I am partial to the Cafe Bohemia recordings. That's where I got taught the Message! I remain faithful to these Messengers!
