Chez Georges (it's at 1 rue du Mail in the Sentier district) is an excellent choice. A real Parisian bistro with great unpretentious food and reasonable prices! Better and much more fun than Maxim's!

Having the same problem... These are damn fine shows but they seem to fall on nearlydeaf ears

1967 was the year I first heard (and caught live in rapid succession) Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, Janis Joplin, the Who, the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead! The fun (and the interest) did not last very long! Most of them went away and if they were any worthy successors, I missed those!

Dan, PM sent!

Then it is the November 15 concert with Walter Davis (not Bishop). This is the track list from the November 15, 1959 concert Au Theatre des Champs-Elysees (edited from Claude Schlouch's Lee Morgan discography, a superb job!): Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Paris, France, November 15, 1959 (2 concerts: 8:30pm & 10:30pm) 1st concert-1st part: Unknown title a unissued Goldie (What know)   10:17 b RCA(F)430054,76481 Bouncing with Bud c - Blues march  8:44 d Moon Records(It)MCD071-2 1st concert-2nd part: announcement by Art Blakey & Lee Morgan 0:24 e Jazz Band(E)EBCD-2128-2 No problem  13:14 f - Ray’s idea  4:55 g - Moanin’ h - A night in Tunisia 1 8:46 i - 2nd concert (2 parts): A night in Tunisia j - Along came Betty  8:04 k - Are you real  10:23 l - Close your eyes  12:15 m - Lester left town 9:54 n - The midget o - Suggest PM Schlouch for full details. His discography mentions the video.

Could it be that some of the tunes are from the other concert with Blakey's Jazz Messengers at the Theatre des Champs-Elysees (the December 18, 1959 concert which was issued on the Fontana 'Paris Jam Session' album)? There is a 'Bouncing With Bud' on that Fontana album. With Bud Powell and Barney Wilen on alto sax added to the Messengers...

Allen, I know that Bird lives but I was under the impression that Wynton Marsalis died several years ago... You sure he is still alive?

Further explorations of the music of George Wallington now: The Prestidigitator (East West Japan reissue) with Jerry Lloyd, J.R. Monterose, Teddy Kotick and Nick Stabulas next: Knight Music (Atlantic stereo original), a trio album with Kotick and Stabulas

Stoopid Yes, but it IS creepy, too, isn't it? The brain takes a beating! Mine at least

Some great videos in that link Tony Williams (wish they had let Stan Getz play some too...), Baby Dodds, Max Roach giving the hi-hat its dues, Papa Jo Jones (with Ben Webster), Philly Joe Jones, Big Sid Catlett... Still waiting to catch Frank Butler on video! Sonny Murray's missing too! So is Zutty Singleton! But the photo credits are way off tracks. Some images from Frank Wolff have a credit to somebody I never heard of. And the Giuseppe Pino images of Elvin Jones are uncredited. Obviously lifted without authorisation

You make me feel so young

Richie Powell's wife Nancy was driving the Buick car on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in the early morning of June 26, 1956, a rainy day. They were on their way to Chicago for a club gig. The car hurtled over an embankment. All three died.

All these Lester Young broadcasts on the Charlie Parker Records were widely issued on a number of other labels. They were from the Royal Roost and the Savoy Ballroom gigs. Don't expect any new Pres material there. They were of course included in the Pres big boxes (vinyls in Italy, CDs in Italy and Japan).

Maxim's was very famous at the turn of the 19th Century! And it still looks very 19th Century! It was bought by Pierre Cardin a couple of decades ago. Nothing exceptional about the food except it's VERY expensive! A place to avoid!

Cecil Payne's 'The Connection' is a pretty good album. Musicians are Clark Terry, Bennie Green, Payne, Duke Jordan, Ron Carter and Charlie Persip. The music is a different score from the Freddie Redd/McLean album on BN. Music on the Parker issue was composed by Cecil Payne and Kenny Drew (and copyrighted to Charlie Parker - Mayhew Music Co. BMI).

Hope we will be also able to enjoy soon the Sonny Rollins Trio (Wendell Marshall, Kenny Dennis) and the Zoot Sims (with Chet Baker) contributions to the two concerts!

Paypal finally accepted my contribution Waiting for the next Boogaloo...
