Some 1,000 of these speeding cameras have been in use for the past two years on French roads. One of those caught me while I was driving at 111-kilometer per hour in a zone where the speed limit was set at 110-kilometer per hour (about 60 mph). Couple of weeks later I got a computerized ticked for being one kiilometer over the limlit and had to pay the fine. My first in several years

Read that study before. The Sorbonne University did not deal with this type of musician in my time! Pretty good work actually! But it could have been even better if Genty had interviewed people like Marcel Romano, who was Wilen's manager for the first part of his career, and Marie Moor who was Wilen's companion in his later years! Marie Moor is not even mentioned. Also sculptor Daniel Pomereulle (who is shown with Wilen in the photo taken before the African voyage) who was a friend of Wilen from the Club Saint-Germain days!

Solal's 'Sans Tambour ni Trompette' is just what the title implies: 'no drum, no trumpet'! Jenny Clark is the more adventurous player, Rovere is the more traditional one. Great trio date! As for that Solal box, I'm pretty sure Clunky will not regret getting this. The 4 LP box consists of unissued live dates, mostly Solal playing solo, dues and trios, kicking off with a superb quartet rendition of Solal's Suite en Re (with Roger Guerin on trumpet) that is even better than the studio version.

Th AP's report today on Billy Bauer's death. The New York Times will probably have an obituary in its edition tomorrow. Maybe the paper will also mention the two other albums Bauer recorded under his name (the first one for AdLib and the final one for Interplay)!

A beautiful apartment with a very nice view of the river!

'I shall never forget the weekend Laura died'

Academy Records Always worth a visit for jazz and classical music!

Hal McKusick Quintet (Coral) featuring Art Farmer, Eddie Costa, Milt Hinton, Gus Johnson Always wondered why Barry Galbraith did not play on that session. It would have been even better! McKusick and Galbraith went even better than Desmond and Jim Hall!

Happy Birthday Rosco

ditto!

ALS from Antibes was first released - on vinyl - on an Italian bootleg label Ingo, before it got wider distribution on the Esoldun CD 'Love Supreme' which was released in 1987 and then disappeared when Esoldun was hit by an adverse court order. The Impulse DeLuxe CD got this performance an official release and distribution! No BYG release for that one!

'Rosebud' short but what a great film it made!

Enjoy your day

Looks like the overstock found its way to Germany when the disc was pulled out from the series

Glad to see Bernard Stollman get some recognition for what he did for the ESP musicians. When the Ayler Brothers were in New York at the time of the 'Spirits Rejoice' session back in 1965, Stollman housed them in his (his parents' actually) apartment. Don't think many record producers did that back then!

That Chet Baker vol. 8 (Broken Wing from 1976) is a rare item nowadays. Have not seen it in ages and I see those Jazz In Paris CDs all over the record shops. Are you sure the Chet JinP volume you see is not vol. 53 'Chet Baker Plays Standards', the 1956 session? It was left out - the only one - from the massive Jazz in Paris box that had the 75 first volumes from the collection. It was also left out from the collection catalogue.

All those Book albums are splendid. OK he may be a one solo musician but that's one solo I never get tired of listening to... Now spinning: Helen Merrill 'Music Makers' (Owl) with Gordon Beck, Stephane Grappelli, Steve Lacy

I was about to vote for 'Meditations' then I remembered the number of times I got kicks out of 'John Coltrane Plays'. It got my vote!

Never trusted the news that Pravda thought fit to print

Took a look at what our fellow posters thought about the BFT. Some funny rats had a field day! Was mainly searching to get an idea of where the track 6 originated. I want to check the rest of that album. Is it as interesting as that singing tune?

One of the two flyers states this about the other planned releases: The flyer also lists a double album 'Cecil Taylor Unit Chore Ensemble' of music 'recorded at Antioch College by twenty-five musicians who were participants in the Cecil Taylor Program in Yellow Springs, Ohio.' Don't think either were ever released...

The Bill Evans at Montreux album (the one with Eddie Gomez and Jack deJohnette) was one of Evans' best!
