Very impressed with that interpretation of 'Blood Count'. Never heard of Scherrer. Or the other musicians with him. Like the disc 1, disc 2 of the BFT was full of surprises! And a real ear-opener as far as I am concerned! Same goes for the Bennie Maupin 'Body and Soul'. I have heard Maupin on a number of records but his playing here is like a revelation. Great job, Ubu!

Thanks Jaffa! Guess I will have to wait a few more years before being allowed to get acquainted with more Erroll Garner Columbia unreissued sides! And I have more items on my want list I was hoping to get soon from Classics

I like the photos but where is the sound

Been looking for that one for years! Will accept a CDR. More April 1: 1926 - Duke Ellington and his Washingtonians record session for Gennett 1957 - Teddy Charles (with Idreees Sulieman, Mal Waldron, etc...) record session for Elektra (Vibe-Rant) 1961 - Grant Green record session for BN (Green Street) 1963 - Kenny Dorham record session for BN (Une Mas!)

How about looking for 'Explosions' by the Bob James Trio? Might still be available! An early Bob James date where he is accompanied by Barre Phillips on bass and Bob Pozar on drums. Not my favorite ESP but might fit with what you are looking for.

Scottb, I feel your pain and smell the same shit! Up to now I have managed to mentally obstruct the few obsessive posters but lately there has been a couple of uninteresting and largely ignorant posters who have staged tsunamis of their own. Never thought I would be using an ignore button on this Board but the need grows more obvious each day!

Martial Solal Trio (Guy Pedersen, Daniel Humair) 'Concert A Gaveau, vol. 2' (Columbia France) next: Kenny Clarke 'Jazz A Confronto' (Horo) with Cicci Santucci on trumpet, Enzo Scoppa on tenor, Enrico Pieranunzi on piano and Roberto Della Grotta on bass.

I refuse to choose. I love them both! Tony Williams might still have been a kid when these were recorded but he was a Giant!

Just proves that we are humans. Not computers. And we all make mistakes. Some time... And as the old saying went: 'To err is human, but to really fuck things up requires a computer'. I remember that note stuck on a machine in the early days of computers!

Young enough to avoid memories of those hard times, I hope! I was just a very young babe then. No memories of the Germans troops marching in! But I still have memories of later wartimes that keep my mind busy...

couw, 1976 is correct for the Mingus, not 1977. Checked the inside liner note of the original vinyl. Have edited my earlier post. On a similar vein, you mentioned a March 23, 1940 Gus Viseur record session in occupied Paris. Paris was not occupied then. All French patriots were still keeping their faith then on the Maginot Line which the German army would never go over! March 1940 was still 'La Drole de Guerre' time. The nasty Germans did not bother to go over the Maginot Line and just went around it to march into Paris in June 1940. I know you were not born then (I was!)

"Che with all due respect, you've only been here for a month. I'm glad you've never found it to be cantankerous in your 40 days here. Alot of folks here have been chatting with one another for 4-5 years, and more in some cases." And the point is? Che. amazon forests and splinters in eyes and asses

March 31: 1948 - Charlie Parker and his Quintet (with Miles Davis) at the Three Deuces (Mosaic) 1951 - Charlie Parker All Stars (with Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, etc...) at Birdland (Summit Meeting at Birdland, released by Columbia) 1960 - The Swingville All Stars (Taft Jordan, Hilton Jefferson, Al Sears, etc...) record session for Swingville (Rockin' In Rhythm) 1962 - Bill Barron (and Booker Ervin) record session for Savoy (The Hot Line) 1965 - Grant Green record session for BN (I Want to Hold Your Hand) 1976 - Charles Mingus records the music for the film 'Todo Modo' released on Atlantic (Cumbia and Jazz Fusion)

There is a nice album by Mundell Lowe and his Orchestra 'New Music of Alec Wilder' that was recorded in 1956 for Riverside. Joe Wilder (of course!), Milt Hinton, Trigger Alpert and Eddie Shaughnessy were in the Lowe band. Alec Wilder supervised the session and Frank Sinatra wrote the liner notes! Don't think this one ever was reissued. Tunes were: - Suggestion for Bored Dancers - She Never Wore Makeup - What Happened Last Night? - Walk Softly - Let's Get Together and Cry - Mama Never Dug This Scene - Pop, What's a Passacaglia? - No Plans - The Endless Quest - Around the World in 2:34 - An Unrelenting Memory - Tacet for Neurotics

Frank Butler was the houser drummer at Contemporary Records, right after Shelly Manne. He is on many of the best albums from that glorious label. He contributed mightily to the Curtis Counce Quintet albums (check his drum solo on 'A Fifth for Frank' from the 'You Get More Bounce' session) and also on the Hampton Hawes 'For Real' date. But there are so many others... He also led two dates for the Xanadu label: 'The Stepper' with Jack Montrose, and 'Wheelin' and Dealin'' with Teddy Edwards and Joe Farrell. No flashy drumming there but percussions from a musician really listening to others and inspiring them!

There was another album from this group released on Concord. From a November 12, 1972 concert in Switzerland (at an unspecified place). The musicians were the same as on the 1971 tour. The Giants of Jazz were part of George Wein's tours of Europe. I caught them in Paris. The EmArcy gig is slightly better than the Concord one. Not sure if the Concord album was issued on CD.

Charles Tyler - Voyage from Jericho (Ak-Ba Records) - Saga of the Outlaws (Nessa)

Oliver Lake led a band in Paris in the early '70s but the musicians were part of the Black Artists Group from St.Louis. Can't recall the presence of Freddie Roach around these parts. I was a fan of his and would be sorry if I missed a chance to hear him play!

Was not aware of that. The idea is fascinating. To get back to Hilton Jefferson, his classic solo was on Cab Calloway's 1940 version of 'Willow Weep For Me', a full feature for him.

Anybody seen that Amy/Bolton? Would love to see/hear that one!

Martial Solal is badly negleted by the recorded companies he has worked with. That so little of the incredible albums (Trio, Concert a Gaveau, En Liberte, Trio - yes, another one -, Son 66) he recorded for Columbia/EMI are currently unavailable is a shame! At least the marvellous 4LP box 'Live 1959-1985 that had unissued and beautifully recorded performances was reissued briefly on CD. Solal has been performing for more than half a century and is still one of the more demanding musician and proved time and again that his talent is at the top. I wish I had caught him live more often. Now that I have the time to attend his concerts, he does not play as often as he used to. He appeared at the New Morning here last year. A superb concert! Then nothing... His last album (NY1) came out on the Blue Note label. Solal was at his usual magnificient self. BN has a festival up in Paris in April. A lot of lesser players are lined up for that one, but no Solal. To hell with BN!

George Wallington and his Strings ' Variations' (Verve, red label) next: Mal Waldron Quintet 'The Git Go - Live at the Village Vanguard' (Soul Note)

Temas Brasilenos, the Ensayo LP is c. 1976, Boleros, the Ensayo CD is c. 1999 Ten to Two Blues, the Ensayo CD (with Goykovich) is c. 1999 I have the French Telefunken LP (actually Ducretet-Thompson 300 TV 128) of the European All Stars 1961. No trace of copyright year on cover or labels. That one goes under the title of MARTIAL SOLAL and the European All Stars with a color photo of Solal on its cover. I'll add more in the next few days (hopefully!)
