The Fats Waller series from the Chronogical Classics label is a worthy option!

March 14: 1927 - Duke Ellington and his Orchestra record session for Brunswick (East St.Louis Toodle Oo) 1940 - Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra record session for Decca (Harlem Stomp, Wolverine Blues, ....) 1949 - Lennie Tristano Quartet record seswsion for Capitol (Yesterdays) 1956 - Serge Chaloff (and Sonny Clark, Leroy Vinnegar, Philly Joe Jones) record session (Blue Serge) 1961 - Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers record session for BN (The Witch Doctor)

Gary Peacock also said no and decided to join Albert Ayler (and Don Cherry and Sonny Murray) for European gigs in 1964 over a chance to play some more with Miles when given the choice!

Wolff, my copy has a Lexington adress at the bottom of its backcover but the vinyl inside is a BN/UA

Not exactly. See the difference... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4709167279&rd=1 or this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW

That was the 1947 Carnegie Hall concert. Was reissued by BN a few years ago as 'Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie - Diz 'n Bird at Carnegie Hall'.

Fontana had a distribution deal through Europe with Pacific Jazz in the early '60s. A lot of PJ albums from that specific period were released over here. With same front and back covers. Lasted a couple of years only from what I remember! I have that Fontana 'Business Meeting' vinyl.

With all the postings you flood us with daily including Sundays, wonder what kind of rugby coaching you can give...

Been clearing up the room where I keep most of my things jazz (discs, books, etc.) these past few days. Came upon a 1959 issue of Down Beat. The February 19 issue with Louis Prima and Keely Smith on the cover. Content included: - among the various news items, a report on the car accident involving Oscar Pettiford and Hans Koller in Austria, - an interview with Alfred Lion on the 20th anniversary of the Blue Note label. Illustrated with a photo of Lion and Francis Wolff posing against a wall decorated with the covers of 'The Amazing Bud Powell' and '6 Pieces of Silver'. Lion mentions plans for 'some stereo discs', - a special report on the Timex All-Star Jazz TV show, - a Backstage with Louis Prima and Keely Smith feature, - an article on Meade Lux Lewis, - a two-page cartoon 'The Hip World of Jules Feiffer', - an article on Kenny Dorham's '3 careers', (none of these articles are bylined), - several articles on stereo gear, - albums reviews included Chet Baker's 'Chet Baker in New York', Bob Brookmeyer's 'Kansas City Revisited', Eddie Condon's 'Dixieland Dance Party', Benny Goodman 'Benny in Brussels', Arthur Lyman's 'Leis of Jazz', Rex Stewart's 'Henderson Homecoming', Suleiman-Adams-Payne-Rehak-Cleveland's 'Roots', etc. - a blindfold test by John Coltrane. When Feather spins 'Soulville' by the Horace Silver Quintet, Coltrane comments: 'Horace... Is that Soulville? I've heard that - I think I have the record. Horace gave me that piece of music some time ago... I asked him to give some things that I might like to record and that was one of them. I've never got around to recording it yet, though. I like the piece tremendously - the composition is great. It has more in it than just "play the figure and then we all blow". It has a lot of imagination. The solos are all good... I think it's Hank Mobley and Art Farmer. I'll give 4 1/2 stars.', - caught in the act reviews of the Ruby Braff Quartet at the Embers in New York, Erroll Garner at the Black Orchid, Chicago, etc. The backcover is a full page Selmer ad illustrated with publicity shots of Stan Getz, Paul Desmond, Tony Scott. Back to you Chris! Hope I did not intrude

List prices for Blue Note albums in the late '50s were $4,98.

Took the new color to mean this involved Politics B-) But yes please, can we have the former color back?

Sal Salvador Sextet 'Starfingers' (BeeHive)

Good idea! And thanks Sidewinder for posting that article!

It is GAVEAU as in Salle Gaveau, the Paris concert hall. Never heard that one. Years ago, decided to ignore Jef Gilson after getting involved in an argument with him over the Albert Ayler concert in Paris back in 1966. He dissed it, very strongly. I loved that concert. Long time ago, should end the boycott by now. If I run into this disc. Very rare by now! Heard recently that Gilson was in bad health. Hope he gets better. Music is the healing force of the Universe!

Great car. Mine still going strong. Ready to take Jim for a ride if he ever cfosses the Atlantic

Louis Smith BN album 'Here Comes Louis Smith' (with the original Buckshot La Funke) would be another.

March 13: 1941 - Benny Goodman Sextet (with Charlie Christian) record session for Columbia (A Smmoth One, Good Enough to Keep) 1954 - Al Haig trio record session for Counterpoint 1958 - Don Rendell record session for Decca 1961 - The Rocky Boyd Quintet (with Kenny Dorham) record session for JazzTime (Ease It) 1961 - The Bobby Timmons Trio record session for Riverside (Easy Does It)

Plans are underway to reopen the Harlem landmark. From The New York Times today.

You're not talking to me!

Now spinning: - Sonny Rollins Quintet with Kenny Dorham and Max Roach 'Rollins Plays For Bird' next: - Miles Davis 'Collector's Items' (with Sonny Rollins and Charlie 'Chan') both Prestige originals (50th Street)

Bird is free! And does not belong to anyone

That Shelly Manne Impulse is an original vinyl. You sure got a good deal on that one! Very good album too!

Weizen, many thanks for the link! This was not what the original 'Opus de Blues' looked like. The cover must belong to a non-US release (British?). Had never seen that Serge Chaloff 4 and 6 Capitol LPIt includes sides from the two Chaloff albums 'Boston Blow Up' and 'Blue Serge'.

The French 15 celebrated Saint-Patrick by defeating the Irish rugby team 26-19 at Dublin's Lansdowne Road this afternoon. The Irish team fought gallantly but the French were best! It was Ireland's first loss in the Six-Nation tournament this year! Feel sure this will not prevent the Irish to celebrate!
