All these Eric Dolphy sides have already been out on various bootlegs before. The Lalo Schiffrin ones have Mel Lewis on drums. The Herbie Hancock ones are the Dolphy group with Ed Armour on trumpet, Hancock, Richard Davis and Edgar Bateman on drums. 1961-1962 dates. All claims that Lonehill Records are releasing unissued stuff is pure baloney! I checked their Booker Little release which claims to include a bonus track. The bonus track turns out to be 'After Hours' from the 'Young Men From Memphis' album which was originally released by United Artists.

Hardbopjazz. You did not mention if you had a chance to ask Jackie Mac whether he was black or white Did you ask??? And Guy, thanks for the report. Wish I had been there!

How was Grachan Moncur?

The Bob Dorough & Sam Most Quartet 'Complete Recordings' from Lonehill reunites the Sam Most Bethlehem album 'Musically Yours' (with Bob Dorough, Bill Crow and Joe Morello) and the Sam Most Sextet Debut 10-incher (with Doug Mettome, Urbie Green, Dorough, Percy Heath and Louis Bellson).

There are quite a number of underrated albums from that era but what is startling is the absence of albums through those years of musicians who were at the top of their developments in those years and went - with rare exceptions - with no records under their name. Where are the albums by Kenny Dorham, Lucky Thompson, Warne Marsh, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Hank Jones and others? What a shame the labels ignored them!

The 1941-1942 Lee and Lester Young band broadcasts from LA clubs. And there may be more than what's appeared so far. Sound of what was released is awful. The music? Well, it's the Prez!

Sounds like me. I hated school. I skipped school as often as I could. So many more interesting things to do outside. Read books (the Paris cafes were a good place to read books by Norman Mailer, Albert Camus, JD Salinger, Stefan Zweig, Boris Vian, etc.), watch movies (spent afternoons at the Cinematheque and at movie houses), hung out at the American Library and read through a full collection of Life magazines. Managed to pass examinations - just barely - and caught an interest in the newspapers and magazines media. Coming back home was time to listen to jazz albums. And try to go out - when allowed - to clubs to hear the musicians appearing in the Saint-Germain des Pres clubs. When I got rid of school, the army got hold of me. So much for teenage time. Life really began after all that!

And let's also welcome Juan Amalbert who has been posting here for the past couple of days. Juan and I have exchanged PMs after I replied to one of his posts about a new Duke Ellington release. Juan mentioned that he played on the album. My first reaction was to think Juan was joking. He was not. I found out he also played on the Duke Ellington 'My People' album plus with the Latin Jazz Quintet including the album with Eric Dolphy. He has allowed me to quote from his latest PM. This is his reply to a PM I sent him: I am sure Juan will have plenty to tell us about his experiences with these great musicians!

A search at AMG lists only some 6 versions of 'My Naughty Sweetie'. Anyway, I am happy with the one version of this song I love: the Jimmy Noone Apex Club one

Nothing new in the Sonny Criss 'The Lost Recordings'. The CD has five tracks from the Buddy Rich group November 7&8, 1956 broadcasts from Birdland that came out first on Spotlite and later on various bootleg labels. The Rich group had Ole Hensen, Criss, Kenny Drew and Phil Leshin on bass. Five tracks of those. The rest of the album is the full 'Sonny Criss Intermission Riff' LP that Pablo released in 1988. That's the 1951 Shrine auditorium concert with Joe Newman, Bennie Green, etc.

Merci beaucoup, Claude. I stand enlightened!

I go to libraries to read. I do not go to libraries to post

I already mentioned I have posted from a number of different places. Each time, I logged in. But I did not log out each time. Could this pose a problem to the Organissimo software?

I'll be need a translation for all this

I also have this MPS album. The Lucky Thompson and Rene Thomas fan in me could not let this LP pass when it showed up. Beautiful date.

Couldn't agree more. This is a splendid album. It was recorded in 1994 and Amy was playing better than ever. Wish there were more current releases from him.

Welcome to this Board, Juan! For your information, the latest Duke Ellington Storyville releases were announced on another thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...opic=7820&st=15 And they look good!

That's a good question. I think it opened in 1959. yes July 1959. But Brooks joined later I believe. Did he play regularly? and for how long? I have never seen a mention that Tina Brooks did play in 'The Connection' stage presentation.. Jackie McLean did, Dexter Gordon did. Tina Brooks? Doubt this. He appeared on the Howard McGhee record. So did Milt Hinton and Osie Johnson. Those two were not in the play. Don't think McGhee was either.

American football We have soccer over here. That's good enough for us

I have posted from quite a number of different computers. No problem at all!

Still waiting for the reissue of 'The Connection' album he recorded with Freddie Redd (and Howard McGhee) for Felsted. My secondhand copy is slowly giving up.

Spinning 'True Blues' by the 'Micho Leviev Quartet' from Mole Records. This is the Art Pepper quartet appearing in 1980 at Ronnie Scott's. Excellent sound from three recording engineers plus two assistants. LP preswsed by Nimbus Records. Music and sound are beautiful! The companion LP 'Blues For The Fisherman' will be next.

Even Miles would not have dared! Monk was much, much bigger! Monk is reported to have said when someone mentioned a physical attack that Miles would have ended in his grave if he had dared! Was Miles into boxing at this point? I don't think so, so I guess you're right. Yes, Miles was into boxing by 1954. He was a great admirer of Sugar Ray Robinson. He was interested in boxing from his childhood days in East Saint-Louis. The John Szwed book 'So What' mentions drummer Stan Levey as having taken Miles Davis to boxing training gyms when they roomed together in the mid-40s. About the 'Man I Love' session incident, Szwed quotes Monk as ''scoffing at the idea of a fight: 'Miles got killed if he hit me''. There was another Miles-Monk incident a few months after the 'Man I Love' date when the two played together at the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival. After the concert, they both rode back together in a limousine. This is Szwed's account of what happened: 'And then, in the limo back to New York, Monk told him (Davis) that he hadn't played 'Round Midnight' correctly. 'So what?' Miles replied. He didn't like the way Monk had accompanied him and suggested that Monk was jealous of the reception he had received. At that point, Monk angrily got out of the car and walked on alone to the mainland ferry.' It was Miles' performance at the 1955 Newport festival that started a new turn to his career. The full Miles Davis/Thelonious Monk Newport appearance was published on the 'Miscellaneous Davis, 1955-1957' CD from Jazz Unlimited. It is a delight!

Guess a number of new members stumble into this Forum almost by accident. The jazz fans doing a search on the Internet would include the word 'jazz' into their search. And get on to the other JAZZ forums. We get the more curious. The cream! Welcome to all new members. The place is very open...

This was released by Pathe-Marconi in France in the early '60s. Cover by Jean Vern. Hated those releases. Being a young snob, I ignored these releases. Wanted the original Prestige LP. And nothing else. The old snob I have grown into is happy with the decision. Love the Prestige album!
