the booklet of my 1995 CD release mentions June 4, I see Dave Wild has June 7. Which is correct? ← The Jorgen Grunnet Jepsen discography from 1962 (the Coltrane/Adderley) booklet says June 7, 1961 too! Anybody knows better?

Thanks for giving us an update, Berigan! Your post looks more optimistic. Your mom has a fighting spirit Give her the best! We're all rooting for her!

I'm happy too! Many thanks, Chuck! That was real fast! The package landed here today. Bird and Diz playing right now! More than pleasantly surprised with the sound. Ted Kendall seems to have worked wonders.

June 7: 1938 - Duke Ellington and his Orchestra record session for Brunswick ('Rose of the Rio Grande, 'Pyramid', etc...) 1954 - Thelonious Monk solo record session in Paris for Swing/Vogue 1954 - Art Farmer Septet (Jimmy Cleveland, Charlie Rouse, Danny Bank, Horace Silver, Percy Heath, Kenny Clarke) record session for Prestige (The Art Farmer Septet) 1955 - Miles Davis (Red Garland, Oscar Pettiford, Philly Joe Jones) record session for Prestige (The Musings of Miles Davis) 1961 - John Coltrane Quartet and a large ensemble (Booker Little, Eric Dolphy, McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, etc...) record session for Impulse (Africa Brass) 1989 (also June 3) - Don Sickler/Jackie McLean (Johnny Griffin, Cecil Payne, Duke Jordan, Ron Carter, Roy Haynes) concert at Theatre de Boulogne-Billancourt (Birdology, vol. 1 and 2), released on Verve

'You and Lee' was reissued on vinyl by Verve France back in vinyl days. I'll stick to that reissue! One of those albums that turned me on to Konitz.

Problem with Chet Baker was that he could be bad! He had more bad nights than good ones. But when he was good he was really BAD! Caught him on several occasions when the juice did not flow! But went back to his gigs more than I should have in the hope of catching one of those nights! And those ones were worth all the trouble!

Wishing you a very happy Birthday

Now don't tell me Deception was not written by Miles Davis

Jack Teagarden 'The Complete Roulette', disc 4

The Amazon.de link you posted shows a 4CD box from Artie Shaw (if my reading of german is not too bad!). That's not the one!

Mosaic was allowed to release CD sets from the Summer of 1989 Up until that time, the companies that leased their material to Mosaic only allowed the transfers to vinyls!

Happy Birthday Hope it's a jazzy one!

Ubu, the Artie Shaw 10CD box that is being discussed is on that list: http://www.membran.net/db_php/index.php?ac...d29af7f56b0c41# They have already two new jazz boxes (Duke and Billie) in the last few days!

I did a quick A/B to compare the Fresh Sound reissue with the Japanese BN volumes I had and the Fresh Sound is a bit better with wider dynamics. But the FS is marred by various tape distorsions that also affected the other reissues I heard (I have not heard the Mosaic Select). The Fresh Sound Omega is really for Art Pepper completists (I am one). It also has the full session (master takes, no alternates) on one CD, the excellent liner notes from Senor Pujol and a wonderful cover which is a reproduction of one of the Omega tapes box cover!

June 6: 1938 - Count Basie and his Orchestra record session for Decca ('Blue and Sentimental', 'Doggin' Around', etc...) 1939 - Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra record session for Columbia ('Cotton Club Stomp', 'Serenade to Sweden', etc...) 1944 - Harry James and his Orchestra broadcast from the Hotel Astor Roof in NY. Music is interrupted by news announcement of the D-Day landing in Normandy. Released on Jazz Hour (The D-Day Remotes) 1950 - Charlie Parker Quintet (Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Curley Russell, Buddy Rich) record session for Mercury (Bird and Diz) 1955 - J.J. Johnson Quintet (Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Paul Chambers, Kenny Clarke) record session for BN (The Eminent J.J. Johnson) 1955 - Cal Tjader (Brew Moore, Sonny Clark, Gene Wright, Bobby White) record session for Fantasy (Tjader Plays Tjazz) 1956 (also June 7) - Billie Holiday with Tony Scott's Orchestra (Charlie Shavers, Paul Quinichette, Wynton Kelly, etc..) record session for Clef (Lady Sings the Blues)

That astronomy link is outtasight! Thanks Jim for making it available. I see they mention the album with Paul Quinichette but have no photo or details. Must really be rare that one! Great album that was recorded in New York in 1974 and was released on the French label Communication (don't know of any other release by this outfit). Very nice date where Gonsalve and Quinichette are part of the orchestra led by French drummer Gerard 'Dave' Pochonet. Taft Jordan, Matthew Gee, Dill Jones are among the other players that show up on several tracks.

Can I have my cigar now?

John Benson Brooks 'Folk Jazz, U.S.A.' (Vik) Good enough to have been - but was not - part of the RCA Jazz Workshop series. Players are Nick Travis, Zoot Sims on alto, Al Cohn on baritone, Barry Galbraith, Bobby Jones and Osie Johnson

I am Pincus, the unofficial 'mayor of 52nd Street'. William Gottlieb took my photo outside the Three Deuces club in 1948. I don't know what happened to me after that moment in history The photo should look familiar to Mosaic veterans. The photo was on the cover of the Mosaic brochure nr. 7 which announced the release of the long-awaited Dean Benedetti Recordings of Charlie Parker box.

'La Fiesta' it wasn't. But that does not bother me. The music is just fine to my ears. La Fiesta or not.

Jordi Pujol takes a couple of swipes at MC. He refers to the Mosaic Select as 'the so-called ''The Complete Art Pepper Aladdin Recordings'' marketed on CD by the Mosaic and Blue Note record labels'. Pujol probably had in mind the 3-CD issues of these sessions that came out in Japan in 1988. But Pujol did some homework for his very interesting liner notes for the Omega Sessions release and also corrects the recording dates for 'The Return of Art Pepper' Jazz West album. The 1997 TOJC Pacific Jazz 'The Return of Art Pepper' still lists August 6 as recording date for the album. I'll go with Pujol on that one!

Another album where Bennie Green shines - in tough company- is the Four Trombones date on Debut. The other three are J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding and Willie Dennis. Great session for Bone heads!

Some of the people here already know about this... From The New York Times today:

Good, not excellent. Seems that every reissuing engineers had the same problems with the original tape material!

Elis, looks like the Berri short you caught was 'Le Poulet'. Music to that 1962 short was performed by Rene Urtreger. Don't know who else played with him. The music was not released on disc and I have not run across this chicken in a long time! Urtreger was also the pianist with Miles Davis for the soundtrack of 'Un Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud' (Elevator to the Gallows). Urtreger and Claude Berri have been childhood friends, coming from the same jewish background and Paris neighborhood. No kidding
