Berigan, can't compare with the sound of your CD. I have the 2001 BMG France '24-bit digital remastering from the original master tapes'. Sound is just OK and I can't detect a buzz when the Hawk plays. High fi, it is not, but the Hawk blows just fine.

If that's the case, guess it did not take much persuasion to initiate the date. All in the family...

'L'Heure Bleue' is a nice session and was a welcome introduction to Koglmann. Then I got into another Hatology release 'Annette' where he is involved with Paul Bley and Gary Peacock. This is really a beautiful album but I don't think Koglmann adds much to the Bley/Peacock collaboration. To be frank, I wish he had been out of it. And if it's Annette on the cover, she never looked more beautiful

I've already mentioned this before, the Greco-Miles affair was a very short one. Miles had a much longer love affair with a French woman who happened to be the sister of an excellent bop pianist. As for Jeanne Moreau, she never looked prettier at the time of the photo (during the shooting of the film 'Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud'). She was having a one-film love affair with the film director Louis Malle

I have run out of space to store my LPs so I have just about put a stop to some fifty years of buying vinyl. Except for a very rare item and if the price is reasonable. I still buy CDs including reissues of LPs I already have if the reissue includes interesting additional material. I have a lot of Blue Note LPs, many in mono sound. I will buy the CD reissue even it it does not include additional material if the music is in stereo sound (I usually find the mono LP sound to be much more informative). But I tend to be a completist as far as the Lion-Wolff BN material is concerned. Of the Mosaic sets I have, most of them are vinyls. But I purchased the Herbie Nichols CD box reissue just to enjoy the music on my car stereo... Given the choise, I will play vinyl rather than CD. That's the way my ears like it...

I have already mentioned on a BB that I was impressed by the quantities of brandy-and-milk drinks he was imbibing when I met him back in 1958 when he was barely 23. He was in Paris with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers at the time. Died much too young

Thanks Daniel! That's the one. And it is Jeanne and Miles. Did a google on it and could not locate it.

Willis Conover He taught more people about jazz than anyone else. Save for Pops maybe. I grew up on Willis Conover's nightly broadcasts. Tried to catch as many as I could in the '50s. The VOA broadcasts were relayed from Germany on long-wave and the sound used to disappear every two or three minutes. The sound on the new BN 'Miles Davis in 1951' is high fidelity compared to what we could catch in these pre-FM times. But Conover always played a great selection from the new albums that came up at the time and were mostly unavailable to most of us. He died in 1996.

Lon, in your new avatar is that Miles Davis being taught how to really play the trumpet by Jeanne Moreau? Vert cool photo. Love it.

Thanks for the Bob Brookmeyer 'One Night in Vermont' recommendation. Will be looking for that one. I recommended the Ted Brown when it came out here last Summer: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...48&hl=ted+brown That Ted Brown CD is a superb album. Another recommendation is highly welcome!

'So Tired' is probably my favorite Bobby Timmons composition. The Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers version in the BN 'Night in Tunisia' album is a masterpiece.

Muskrat, the full Ornette Coleman Atlantic recordings output is available on the 'Beauty Is a Rare Thing' 6CD box from Rhino/Atlantic.

All this brouhaba about the Janet Jackson SuperBowl appearance is one more proof that the United States is on another planet Looks like this is the biggest thing that hit the USA since September 11, 2001. At least, that's what Lycos is reporting in its count of internet hits. Unbelievable

I have no love for Keith Jarrett but enjoyed what he did on the electric piano when he was with the Miles Davis band. And also the ECM album he did with Jack de Johnette on drums 'Ruta and Daitya'. Maybe he should have stuck to electric...

I was lucky to hear Jimy Hendrix (with Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell) at the Paris Olympia back in 1967. Three favorite tunes: 'Rainy Day, Dream Away' 'Castles Made of Sand' 'Little Miss Strange' But the choice might have been different on another day...

Much love also here for Bobby Timmons. And another reminder of the great album 'Soul Time' (with not only Blue Mitchell but Art Blakey on drums!). And 'Soul Man' was another great session. Also like the Riverside 'Trio In Person' album (with Ron Carter and Albert Heath) recorded at the Village Vanguard.

All of us here were afraid of getting this bad news! We all have you and your family in our thoughts!

When you go the beach in France in the summer, at least half of the women there are bare-breasted. All this is taken very naturally.

From AP:

Never mind! And happy 2004

Whenever we enter the Organissimo homepage we are greeted with news from 2003 Just a reminder that we are now in the year 2004. The news we want is 2004 news And keep up the good work in 2004

Nothing really rare about that one. From the description it looks like the presumed February 1962 broadcast from Birdland that was originally released on the bootleg Session label. That LP had tracks entitled 'Stuff I'm Partial Too' and the like. The David Wild discography of Coltrane adds that these three titles are included in the Pablo 7CD Live Trane box and are attributed to Hamburg, November 25, 1961. So much for bootlegs accuracy.

Couw, thanks for keeping the Discography Forum light aflame!

On the Blue Note label catalogues from the mid-sixties, the Lee Morgan Sextet LP 1541 is always listed as Lee Morgan, volume 2 even if that LP cover has no volume 2 identification.
