I'm lucky! And Happy! I have enjoyed (and kept) the four Prestige (Cookin', Relaxin', Workin' and Steamin') LPs in their original editions. Cookin' and Relaxin' are the 50th St. issues, the other two are Bergenfields. Also have the 50th St. edition of The New Miles Davis Quintet. Always thought this was some of Rudy Van Gelder's very best engineering. I remember a discussion with Cecil Taylor about the sound on these dates. CT thought it could have been better and I disagreed. This was just after he recorded his two BN albums at Van Gelder's and things did not go as he wanted and he still was a bit angry at RVG!

Agustin, too bad my spanish is so bad! The interview looks interesting. By the way, is that how Jordi Pujol looks nowadays? For a second, I thought this was George Mraz!

Also recorded on January 12: 1965 - Count Basie (first session of 'Basie Picks The Winners' album, more sessions on January 13 and 14, for Verve)

That was in the December 2004 issue. Marshall Allen does appear like he has a Sun Ra obsession. Loved the part when he is being played 'Stardust' by Charlie Parker. Does not recognize Bird, tries a guess (Johnny Hodges?) then takes off - once more - on Sun Ra and the sound Sun Ra wanted from the Arkestra. Not one word on the Charlie Parker side...

Brownie - but did you see them before they became attached images? If so, perhaps there is an electronic blind spot in that great country to the east. I stepped into this thread a few minutes ago only...

Tooter, the images do show up!

That was a one-sided 12 inch LP, if I remember right! It was! And there was more music on that one-sided 19-minute LP than on many of the 77 or 79-minute CDs that come out thesedays!

Fred Guy Did not take notice of his playing until the Duke Ellington Centennial Edition box appeared in clear sound to render him justice

Brew Moore 'Brew's Stockholm Dew' (Sonet) live Stockholm date with a local rhythm section.

Two of those DVDs are must-see masterpieces: the Fritz Lang 'M' (pure classic and still a frightening experience more than 60 years after it was filmed) and Powell's 'Peeping Tom' (you'll be surprised by that one, also pretty scary). Wages of Fear is Georges-Henry Clouzot's 'Le Salaire de la Peur' with great performances by Yves Montand (an actor I'm not really fond of) and Charles Vanel. I saw a rerun of it not very long ago and found it still very impressive. Same goes for Franju's 'Les Yeux Sans Visage' (Eyes Without a Face), a rare French horror film although some people may be disturbed by a couple of scenes. 'Bande A Part' is an early (1964) Godard film with Anna Karina and Sami Frey. Not Godard's best, but it has its moments. The only other I saw is 'Stray Dog'. I'm not a big fan of Kurosawa!

I remember buying a number of sealed Crown albums by B.B. King and John Lee Hooker back in those days...

My culture is missing on that one it's by Gotlieb Oh yes, of course. I am now a certified know-nothing person Will have to go get a Gotlieb refresher course in one of the numerous comicbook shops in my neighborhood B-)

big double big here! Jim R listed Rene Thomas in one of the first posts to this thread. Couldn't agree more... So let me add

My culture is missing on that one But not being surprised! Don't think Bruce Lee and camembert went together And when I return to Normandy, I'll go for a second helping of camembert ice cream

Aric, how did you manage to unlock your caps

John, from what I have read, Prez was kind of dissatisfied with Granz around that time (1957/58). One of the reason is that Granz would not record him with strings. In the last months of his life, he mentioned the possibility of switching labels. I think UA was considered for that 'with strings' date. And that last date 'Lester Young in Paris' was not recorded for Verve but for Barclay. Verve later acquired the masters and released the album shortly after the death of Lester Young. This must have been an easy deal since Barclay was releasing the Verve albums in France.

No trace of Lester Young with strings on records In the 1958 interview made in Paris that is in the 'Lester Young' box on Verve, Lester Young mentions that somebody in New York (Gil Evans is assumed to have been that man) was 'writing some music for me. When I get back, I got bass violin, two cellos and a viola, and a French horn, see what I mean?'. Lester Young died in New York two weeks after that interview...

Congratulations, to you and your lady You're just starting a beautiful adventure!

That was not in Paris but in lovely Avignon. At Christian Etienne restaurant that stands next to the Palais des Papes (excellent and rather reasonable prices for the quality). I also tasted Camembert ice cream in Caen (surprisingly pleasant experience!). Mike, I'll also try olive oil with strawberries next Summer!

Dizzy Reece 'Manhattan Project' (BeeHive) next: Joe Thomas 'Raw Meat' (Uptown)

Well, I would shy away from adding olive oil to a fruit salad But I tasted olive oil ice cream and it was stunningly delicious

Love olive oil! It's great with (almost) anything edible. Its virtues seem boundless. From the BBC:

That Freddie Slack Mosaic Select intrigues me. Can't remember having heard anything by him. I know Barney Bigard was among the musicians in many Capitol sessions by Slack. Is the material really worthy of a Mosaic Select?

January 10, 1947... Bud Powell records for the first time under his name. Trio session (with Curley Russell and Max Roach) for Roost

Tony Bennett?
