Elmer Bernstein's jazz affiliation was described on this site: http://www.elmerbernstein.com/news/filmscore_jazz.html

Some of the tunes covered may not fit exactly in the '60s timeframe but I liked the Black Saint album by the Sonny Clark Memorial Quartet (John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz, Ray Drummond, Bobby Previte) that recreated Sonny Clark's tunes like 'Minor Meeting', 'Cool Struttin'', 'Voodoo', 'Somethin' Special' and others. I have not relistened to that one in a long time. Will check to find out if it stood the test of time...

Alan Lankin's Jazzmatazz lists this Duke Ellington release due next week: Any details available on these seven unreleased tracks from 1940-1941?

Film music composer Elmer Bernstein died. From AP: Among his jazz-oriented film scores, Bernstein composed the music for Otto Preminger's 'The Man With the Golden Arm' and Alexander McKendrick 'Sweet Smell of Success'.

Only in America! Or only in New York? From AP:

Favorite version of Budo is Bud Powell's 'Hallucination' recorded for Mercury/Clef/Verve in 1951. Incredible piano solo version by the composer!

As far as beer was concerned it was cold turkey when I was around. Red wine - and some more - it was!

This was just one of the gigs I caught in that glorious summer of 1969. CT was giving concerts at Saint-Paul de Vence a couple of days after Miles Davis played at the Antibes-Juan les Pins festival a few days earlier. THAT Miles Davis quintet with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland and Jack deJohnette! And after these French Riviera concerts, everybody seems to have rushed back to Paris where so many concerts and record dates were happening at the same time. Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, the AEC, Grachan Moncur, Alan Silva, Philly Joe Jones, Hank Mobley, Steve Lacy, Sonny Murray, Anthony Braxton, Jeanne Lee and on and on... Call me blase now

Rooster, welcome back! Couw has been holidaying and is now heading back home slowly. Saw him when he was in Paris. He did not look depressed to me

$1,175.50 for the Cecil Taylor original! Transition albums fetch steep prices nowadays! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...me=STRK:MEWA:IT

Is that really a septet on that Hindsight? This was probably recorded at the Cafe Metropole in New York in December 1961. According to the Lord discography which does not include the Hindsight release, the Hampton big band probable personnel then was: Virgil Jones, Floyd Jones, Dave Gonzales, Richard Williams, tp, Lester Robertson, Haleem Rasheed, Lester Robinson, tb, Bobby Plater, Ed Pazant, as, Andrew McGhee, John Neely, ts, Pepper Adams, bar, Lionel Hampton, vib, Kednny Lowe, p, Billy Mackel, g, Lawrence Burgan, b, Wilbert Hogan, dr.

That is a magnificient record. Thanks for enlightening us on it. My piano playing son loves it too!!!

Ubu, you want reaction? I'm joining in on praising those Johnny Hodges sides. I have these on an earlier Vogue Lp reissue. Jeez, if I had to post reactions on albums I like every time they're mentioned on this Board, I would have more posts than the honourable JSngry! And I'ld be out of a job

The BN 2005 calendar is available from Amazon.fr http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789...7610122-1106508 Guess it's available from the US direct too!

The Shandar single discs from the Cecil Taylor concerts came out first. I attended the Saint-Paul de Vence concerts and was looking for any recorded evidence as soon as it became available. The box came later!

Bernard Peiffer 'Piano A La Mood' (Decca) to be followed by: Bernard Peiffer 'The Pied Peiffer of the Piano (Decca) two of the best albums by this French pianist who settled in the USA (Philadelphia mainly) in 1954.

Some interesting albums being auctioned, indeed! Here is a link: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...&sort=3&rows=50

Recycling this thread which still valid: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...topic=12020&hl= Not sure yet who will play in what clubs around the time of your visit. Will try to check. The websites that had this Paris clubs calender features seem to have gone under!

That's not what I read, Dan! Might be my understanding is off track! Ah! never mind

Dan, it is Nick Brignola on the Markewich album. Not Cuber! http://www.dustygroove.com/cgi-sys/cgiwrap...la&issearch=yes

You'll be happy then to find out that - despite the claims of the box being Complete - some of the alternate takes of 'Marmaduke' are missing B-) This is the one flaw with this superb box. $16 for a stone mint copy of this! This is not a Great Find! It's a steal!

Wolff, you would not have any problems with using 50-year and older material in Europe but you might run into trouble if you used the Blue Note name and logo on whatever you would release. Copyrights for these still remain valid and are not in the public domain. I am sure Claude - and others - will have better information on the questions you raise. Just can note that Chronogical Classics CDs usually list the original source from the material they pick up. And I don't recall having seen the term Public Domain mentioned in any of the reissues I have seen here.

Thanks Chuck for relaying the information about the Unsung Cat book! A renewed order to Amazon for a new copy or a secondhand copy of the hardbound book has proved fruitless.

Blue Lake, a lot of people on this Board are waiting for the release of this box. The 9CD set has been discussed at length on the Board including on this thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1087 Assume we are talking about the same box?

The Markewich date was recorded in 1957. Brignola was 21 by then. Never ran into that album. Sounds interesting!
