Charles Lloyd really started making a name for himself in the mid-sixties at the same time that some of the greats of the tenor saxophonists (from Coltrane down to Ayler with people like Pharoah, Shepp, Gilmore in between) were making giant steps. Lloyd played a sanitized version of the new music - he tasted like a Canada Dry when compared to the real thing - and that antagonised quite a number of people!

Out of stock according to Amazon.fr http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000...5736945-8070538 Sure this will be fixed when the CD is released to the general public...

Not really familiar with the Les Brown Orchestra. One album I like very much is the Les Brown All Stars date that was released on Capitol. A 1955 album that highlighted four of the main soloists from the band: Don Fagerquist, Ronny Lang, Dave Pell and Ray Sims. Ray's brother Zoot played on the Fagerquist section of the album, not on his brother's! The other Les Brown date I enjoyed was the Concert at the Palladium, a Coral 2LP box from a 1953 concert in Hollywood. The box included a four-page booklet (with notes by Leonard Feather) that had a blank page for autograph-seekers! Many of the musicians from the Les Brown band were featured in the marvelous albums led by Dave Pell in the fifties

Next one in the series is a Big Bill Broonzy 3CD set 'The Complete Vogue Recordings' which includes all the tunes recorded by Broonzy in Paris in 1951 and 1952: http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000...5736945-8070538

From AP:

There was a previous thread on this... The answer is the same: Byard Lancaster's 'Funny Funky' was reissued last year. It should be available from these people (they're based in Corsica!): http://www.scpmusic.com/catalog/product_in...products_id=101 The Lancaster/Jaspar 'Meeting Time' Palm vinyl never existed. The two players never made any record together! The non-release of this album was confirmed by the owner of the Palm label! The Bobby Jaspar sides which were supposed to be on the record were released in France under Jef Gilson's name. This was a 45rpm EP which came under the Spirit Jazz label. Never saw that one!

Some explanation from the Down Beat review (by Michael Levin) of the Concert at Carnegie Hall, as published in Ken Vail's 'Lady Day's Diary':

Andre Hodeir 'American Jazzmen Play Andre Hodeir (Savoy) with Idrees Sulieman, Donald Byrd, Frank Rehak, Hal McKusick, Bobby Jaspar, Jay Cameron, George Duvivier, Eddie Costa, Bobby Donaldson and Annie Ross

Beautiful! Outstanding music. Hope they will be more of this on the site... Didn't realize that Nica spoke with such a british accent!

Works fine for me

I visit the site from time to time. Have no problem with it right now. This is the Brasilian page: http://www.jwolf.com/iajo/iajofram.htm

The French label Fremeaux has completed its doubleCD series of Django Reinhardt recordings. The final issue (volume 20) has just been released: Django Reinhardt Vol. 20 It includes the 1953 recordings plus several radio broadcasts on disc 1, then various rare tracks (most of them with Django, others with associates) from 1928 to 1953 that were not available at the start of the series.

They'll probably wake up when the European labels make good use of the 50-year copyright laws and make the Garner available again.

my BN conn CD says this was recorded on the 14th. Which is correct? The Ruppli/Cuscuna BN Label book says June 10. Good enough for me More June 14: 1951 - Sidney deParis Blue Note Stompers (Jimmy Archey, Omer Simeon, Pops Foster, etc...) record session for (Guess Who?!?) 1971 - The Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band (with Stan Getz) record session for Verve (Change of Scenes)

That great label Meritt released a double LP Chu Berry 'The Calloway Years' 1937-1941 with quite a number of rare alternates (plus several broadcasts) of Calloway and Teddy Wilson sessions among others. Outstanding!

I'm taking all this with a grain of salt

From the Monterey Country Herald today:

Very good news, Jaffa Thanks for letting us know... Looking forward to read your liner notes in the forthcoming Classics!

Does this mean I should delete my posts? ← Ron, it's all jazz to me Besides if we have to delete posts each time a thread goes offtrack, there would not be much left on a lot of threads...
