I'ld run for these

Hank Mobley Sextet 'Hank' Japanese Toshiba BN (with Donald Byrd, John Jenkins, Bobby Timmons, Wilbur Ware and PJ Jones) next: Hank Mobley 'Hank Mobley' Japanese King BN (with Bill Hardman, Curtis Porter, Sonny Clark, Paul Chambers, Art Taylor)

Rooster, go and see it first chance you get! It's on my 10-best film of all time list and the one I most enjoy getting a fresh look at! Gene Kelly is great, Donald O'Connor is even better and Debbie Reynolds is a peach and Jean Hagen is a scream and Cyd Charisse is (well I have no word good enough for her )!

I presume the video is being aimed at European audiences. We Europeans - even younger ones - have no problem relating to that scene. The film is played so often in cinemas and on TV so often here that almost everyone - old or young- will get the feel of it!

If it had been, I would not have had to ask The Wilner is an album I have spinned many times... Excellent album

1955 - Ralph Burns Among Thr JATP's recording session for Norgran 1958 - Louis Armstrong records 'Louis and the Good Book' for Decca

Whoa — what's the title? How long has it been out? The film 'Melinda and Melinda' has been out in France for three weeks. Woody Allen's films usually make it big over here but this one has been a boxoffice (and a critical) failure. Have not seen it. Woody Allen does not play in the film.

Dana, re track 5. When you have time, please give specifics on the Nino Rota disc. That version intrigues me.

L'Atelier Tampon?? Brownie, would you mind explaining the origin of the name of this venue??? Never heard of the place until now. Saw this on a flyer. L'Atelier Tampon is described as a 'Galerie d'Art - Concerts - Buvette Dynamique'. Will check the place next week and taste that 'dynamic buvette bar'. My guess is that the place was a former workshop. There were hundreds of workshops in that Paris district decades ago! Tampon polishing was used to restore old pieces of furnitures, as far as I know.

Henry Grimes will appear on Saturday Feb. 5 at the Sons d'Hiver festival in suburban Vitry with William Parker and Rob Brown.

Concert is scheduled at L'Atelier Tampon, 14 rue Jules Valles, 75011 Paris from 830PM. Surprise guests will be playing during the second part of the concert!

February 3 1939 - Count Basie and his Orchestra, Decca recording session (Cherokee, Blame It On My Last Affair) 1960 - Louis Bellson recording session for Verve (Louis Bellson Swings Jule Styne)

Whoever took the photo is still unidentified. Albert's father happened to have a copy of it and made it available for the 'Holy Ghost' box release!

This was a made in USA box. With minimal inside halfpage tracks listing plus short backcover liner notes by Michael Brooks!

The Ayler jam photo was taken in Orleans, central France, in 1960-1961 when Ayler was stationed there. In the 'Holy Ghost' book there is a photo of the same people taken the same day on page 97. That photo is credited 'courtesy Edward Ayler', Albert's father!

The Boswell Sisters, a 3LP box that was released in 1982 by CBS/CSP. Love those Sisters

Grachan Moncur 'Some Other Stuff' hissfree mono BN NYK label with ear

But all I ordered was Crepes Suzette

February 2, 1938 - Duke Ellington recording session for Brunswick/Columbia that produces 'Riding on a Blue Note', 'Lost in Meditation' and 'The Gal From Joe's' February 2, 1959 - Paul Chambers records the album 'Go' for VeeJay

Before Dr. Nessa steps in, I'ld be interested to hear more about that Giuseppi Logan Venus. Is that different from the ESP ones?

I would not call any Don Cherry Sonets essential. Of the two I like 'Eternal Now' better than the Ankara one. Those Sonets are mainly for Cherry completists. The various albums with Ed Blackwell (Actuel/byg and ECM) are to get before those two!

A real nice period piece. From 1959. They don't make music like that any more! I have a mono original. Clear arrangements, nice solos (from Giuffre, Rogers, Enevoldsen, Rosolino, Shank, etc.). Outstanding is the rhythm section of Barney Kessel, Joe Mondragon and Mel Lewis. Every time I hear Mondragon I marvel at the quality and exactness of his playing. The album is a splendid display of his talent.

Les Cahiers du Cinema. Had a full set until I gave up buying the magazine in the '80s...

Frank Strozier... Now digging him in 'Variety Is The Spice' by Louis Hayes. The man could play! The albums he recorded under his name always bring joy!

Louis Hayes 'Variety Is The Spice' (Gryphon) with Frank Strozier, Harold Mabern, etc...
