Should have added in my first post that the sound on this is similar to a number of Riverside releases from around that time. I had that Dorham session on a Japanese vinyl mono reissue and thought the sound was missing on the copy: little dynamics, sort of muffed overall sound. The stereo original (and the stereo spread is there) is even worse, probably why it was not reissued! The sound volume also has to be pulled up to get a listen at a reasonable level. As I already complained a number of times, the sound on too many Riverside originals was off. No comparison to what labels like Contemporary, BN, Prestige and some others managed to produce in the same era!

Somehow I felt it did not look right when I tried my stooopid calypso dancing to that tune Now I know why

Never searched for the CD. I have an original vinyl of this album. Black Riverside stereo! A bientot, Claude!

Never realized she was French. And Paris-born

Helmut Newton, great photographer as he was, would not render justice to la Vitti's beauty! Not a very good portrait! He would probably have found Ruth Young more in line with his type of models!

Not too bad but really nothing exceptional about it. Mainly for diehard Chet Baker nostalgia fans. It's a similar inner (and slow) mood that pervades too many Chet Baker releases but without the man's obvious talent! And Herb Geller is not heard enough! Ubu, you're Swiss and went at Ms. Young's looks in a very unbecoming way I'm French and stuck to (almost) gallant neutrality Should have avoided a comparison with La Vitti which I had not meant to be turned out into a red flag at the young bull inside you! But there really was something to it...

Enlisted that day PM on its way!

Nate, an earlier thread Sir Roland Hanna

She was indeed a very big pop star in Germany and neighboring countries in the '50s and '60s. Never cared much for her type of singing (and the songs she covered!). The only jazz date I have from her is the two tunes she performed with Chet Baker back in 1958 ''I'll Remember April' and 'Everytime We Say Goodbye'). She did a serious job but lacked style on those. But worth checking for the Baker contributions. They have been reissued on a Philology anthology (Chet Baker, Newport Years, vol. 1). Know she recorded with a Basie aggregation in the '80s but never got around to hear it!

Which Diary? Luis Bunuel's (with Jeanne Moreau) or Jean Renoir's (with Paulette Godard)? Love Jeanne Moreau in the Bunuel...

Omegod! Did not notice Impulse had botched its reissue releases! That link to the CD was wrong (did not check with the original vinyls). Here is another link to the title of the original LP's title. Everybody I have the vinyls but did not check to the links to verify the CD contents. The label did too many changes over the original programs. I see the Time tune you included is now on a different reissue CD ← Hate to tell you this, but that's not it either... ← Jim, this is as close to harassing me that you will get I have done proper research now and the third answer is - at long last - the exact one. Volume 3 of this series (that's as close as I could google)! Definitive vol. 3 Got your disc uncovered by now. Triplechecked this!

In all of Spain, or only in Catalunya??

I don't have the original LP, just the 'Two Tenors' reissue. But I stumbled recently on the Japanese Victor CD reissue with the original cover art (by Bob Weinstock and Tom Hannan). These Victor/Prestige stick to the original release as close as possible. The track listings is: 1 - Weeja 2 - Polka Dots and Moonbeams 3 - On It 4 - Avalon

As far as I know, Four Keys is available on vinyl only. A very enjoyable and lyrical session with seven originals, all by Solal! Agree with the two previous assessments of Scofield. Don't care very much for his playing usually, but he was inspired on that date! It is indeed one of the best collaboration of Solal and Konitz and should be reissued on CD now that MPS albums are back in the limelight.

July 13: 1951 - James Moody et Andre Hodeir et son Orchestre (strings, Raymond Fol, Pierre Michelot, etc...) record session for Vogue (reissue on Classics soon) 1953 - Count Basie and his Orchestra record session for Clef ('Plymouth Rock', 'Blues Go Away', etc...) 1956 - Gene Ammons Septet (Donald Byrd, Art Farmer, Jackie McLean, Mal Waldron, Doug Watkins, Art Taylor) record session for Prestige (Jammin' with Gene) 1956 - Jackie McLean (same rhythm section) record session for Prestige (4, 5, and 6) 1957 - Miles Davis Quintet (Sonny Rollins, Red Garland, Paul Chambers, Art Taylor) at Cafe Bohemia, released on Ozone and various labels 1960 - Charles Mingus (Ted Curson, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Bud Powell, Danny Richmond) at the Antibes festival, released on Atlantic (Mingus at Antibes) 1961 (also July 14&17) - Johnny Griffin (Clark Terry, Jimmy Cleveland, Jimmy Jones, Barry Galbraith, Ron Carter, Ben Riley, etc...) record session for Riverside (White Gardenia) 1961 - Lonnie Johnson and Victoria Spivey (Cliff Jackson) record session for Bluesville (Idle Hours) 1962 (also July 14) - Horace Silver Quintet (Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, Gene Taylor, John Harris Jr) record session for BN (The Tokyo Blues) 1964 (also July 14) - Paul Desmond (Jim Hall, Gene Wright, Connie Kay) record session for RCA (Glad to be Unhappy)

Mr. Sangrey went through his collection of rare tracks to compile this. Looks (and sounds too) like he went mostly through his vinyls. When I first heard this, I thought I would have no problem identifying the various selections but now that I have listened a few times to the compilation I have only a couple of certainties, the rest being speculations. So here goes. 1- This has to be Jimmy Smith going to the moon. Very different from the version he recorded on his BN A Date. No idea who is flying along but thoroughly lively session. But then I might have taken the wrong direction. After rehearing this, I'm not so sure it's Smith. Might be one of his followers... 2 - Never heard that tune from the Good Humor Man of jazz. A search through the discographies pointed to the unusual item. Glad Jim dug this song. Not sure I will return to this 3- what the hell!!! A calypso! There must be a reason for its inclusion. Beats me for the time being! 4- Newk and his traveling band! And a good one! I thought I would identify that one but it's another no no The trombone has to be Cliff Anderson but that soprano! Could that be Rufus Harley? This is an interesting track! 5- another mystery. The piano player has to be Brubeck. But the alto is not Desmond, unless he was playing for the crowd which obviously enjoys the proceedings 6 - The trumpet player gave it away and he is one of my new favorites. For years I dismissed him for his showoff technique but I have grown to now admire his brashness. And this is one of his best solo. The acid sounding alto player graced many records when I started getting interested in jazz. Love those players who manage to have everything fall into places and provide marvelous solos (that goes for the guitar player too!)... From this album: Man I Love 7 - Marvin Jug! Great combination. The A&R man who thought of it has to be congratulated but he also has to be blamed for letting the arranger overwork. The inclusion of strings complicated the design Track 3 My Way Not a favorite album but I can't recall any bad session from him! 8 - Another tenor player whose sound is unmistakable. Had not heard that album and this version in a long time. The singer is not being really missed but the alto player makes a rare appearance on record. I was lucky to hear him live with a group ,of new players opening for a club date by the Wayne Shorter quartet in the Village forty years ago. Really nice to get a good listen at this musician. Is that his wife doing the vocal? Track 4 Bad 9 - The Swinging Machine comes up roses. That's on a vinyl from when the Band was still in command! Lockjaw leads the way to show how a so-so tune can be the basis for a smash solo. A rare appearance on flugelhorn by Al Aarons (had to check, would not have recognized him on my own!) follows. Short and very effective. Another album I shall return to! 10- Sounded to me at first like the featured alto player was Oliver Nelson but could not find any recording of him playing that tune! Could this be Phil Woods? Pretty effective. Liked this interpretation. 11- Nobody played the vibraphone like our man here. A very subdued appearance of another flying classic. I had forgotten about that session. Glad I was reminded of its existence! Side A, track 4 from that album (could not find any better link): http://www.gemm.com/ddc/search.pl?&a_refno=GML624514462 12 - The tenor player sounded offmike. Could that be Benny Golson? I'll probably be surprised when Jim posts the answers. Another good one! 13 - celesta and deep voice. This went over my head. There has to be a reason for its inclusion here. Will wait for an explanation... 14 - Heard that tune a long time ago. Second appearance from the tenor player. This was happy music. The music was reissued recently on an unmentionable label (the opening track) Oysters I like those oysters! 15 - The very distinctive tone of the sax player and the delicate fingering of the organ player had me check again this vinyl Track 8 16 - another track that went past me. And fast... 17 - for all I know looked around to find out who the singer was. And failed. Liked that vocal-piano duo. Thanks Jim for letting us have a peek into your collection. On to disc 2 now but that one looks even more trickier!

It was with me by the time of Mingus' eviction (November 1966)! Sue Graham's note which accompanied the shipment was dated June 1966...

Howard McGhee Sextet 'Live at Emerson's' (Zim) 1978 dates with Frank Wess and Charlie Rouse!

Mail order! The copy of 'Music Written for Monterey' came in with a nice thank you card from the then Sue Graham on behalf of Charles Mingus, Enterprises, Inc.! She apologized for the delay in shipping the album. The delay was due to the fact that the album was originally scheduled to be a single LP, then was changed into a double LP to contain the complete program.
