Hi folks, Don't forget that today is a sad day because the great Art Pepper left us 30 years go. All of us like him and his music! He remains in our mind. RIP

RIP

US Amazon sent mine today.

Hi folks, Unfortunately, four titles and certainly many announcement are missing: Round Midnight This Here Blues March Night In Tunisia (another version from another set) Not really serious!

Hi folks, You want more? As I asked him about Bud Powell, Ozzie Cadena sent me the following information: Johnny Coles (tp), Jay Jay Johnson (tb), Jimmy Tyler (as), Bud Powell (p, voc), Stan King (b), Charlie Persip (dm) The Picadilly, Newark, NJ, September 24, 1953 Bud’s original ballad-vocBP (2:40) Ornithology (11:45) Little Willie leaps (4:30) Stella by starlight “Atempo” (???) Note: Bud played also at Birdland on September 24,1953.

Not at all but there is a high probability, because Ozzie wanted two things: 1° that involved musicians receive their share and to this end 2° that his tape collection is not scattered. I have no more information.

I joked when I said "maybe". Now you may ask the Uptown Records staff to release it as soon as possible.

Hi folks, Maybe you will be interested by the following session (also from Ozzie Cadena) HANK MOBLEY QUINTET Howard McGhee (tp), Hank Mobley (ts), Stan Hope (p), Curley Bell (b), Milton Hayes (dm) The Picadilly, Newark, NJ, November 2, 1953 Donna Lee 5:00 Lady be good 9:00 April in Paris 9:00 Whispering (incomplete) 9:00 Billie's bounce 7:50 How high the moon 7:45 Howard McGhee (tp), Hank Mobley (ts), Stan Hope (p), Larry Goins (b), Milton Hayes (dm) The Picadilly, Newark, NJ, November 2, 1953 Anthropology 11:15 Howard McGhee (tp), Hank Mobley (ts), Stan Hope (p), Larry Goins (b), Charlie Persip (dm) The Picadilly, Newark, NJ, November 2, 1953 Black velvet 6:45 Body and soul 7:20 Wee dot 9:45

Both september 28 & november 2, 1953 sessions are in my discography. Ozzie gave me the chance to hear many excerpts over the phone in april 1996. Nothing new except that the first session is now a reality.

I already contacted Laurie about this new issue...

Hi folks, Take care, the following issue, forthcoming on next april 18 is a real joke! Art Pepper - Live in Milan 1981 The reference is Sinatra Society of Japan(Jap)XQAM-1618. By listening to the available excerpts on Internet, I found that at least three titles (The Trip ,Red Car & Blues for Heard) come from the Satin Doll in Kobe (March 9, 1978). To my knowledge, Art Pepper did never play in Milan in 1981. Warning, this is a new scam by the same producer as it is often the case concerning Art Pepper issues or reissues in Japan?

Recorded by the late Ozzie Cadena (September 28, 1953). He recorded another session at the same location on November 2, 1953 (with Hank Mobley & Howard McGhee).

RIP

Hi, Nero software + Verbatim CD-R. The best solution!

Hi folks, I'm looking for a copy in very good condition of the Dynaflow CD 2003-2 Stan Kenton-Stan's Singers. I'm waiting your offers. Thanks! Claude

Hi, Elysee & Hilo issued on Prestige(It)PRE-4001 and announced as alternate takes are in fact the above takes turning at inaccurate speed. Lord is wrong on this date! The 4 titles recorded on this date (may 26, 1949) are on Definitive Records(Sp)DRCD 11156, Prestige 7PCD-4407-2, OJC-091, OJCCD-091-2, (Jap)VICJ-2003, VICJ-40053-59.

Hi James, Thanks for your post. I already have all material you mention, but the "I Want To Cry" from september 14, 1948 is still unissued. Drive DE2-41096 contains only the september 11, 1948 version of that tune. Thanks again! Welcome on the forum!

Yes, the Qwest material is included. Wonderful box set from Spain!

Scam Alert! The concert billed as Amsterdam, Holland, is actually the one given at Knebworth, England on July 25/26, 1981. The coordinator does not seem to know its geography ... or trying to take us for idiots. He knows evil fans of Art Pepper. Once again, he presents incomplete titles of average quality turning at incorrect speeds (?) without announcement or applause, in disorder, and cherry on the cake, it lacks a title (Everything Happens To Me). If you are concerned with this CD, please keep your money for something really worthwhile. Claude

Hi folks, Our friend KD left us 38 years ago. A sad date! RIP

Hi folks, I just received the following message from Pure Pleasure Records in England: Dear Claude, Many thanks for your order. Hopefully it will be available before Christmas. Kind regards, Tony

Hi folks, The 7LP box set is at last available since 3 days. I ordered my copy directly from the manufacturer: Pure Pleasure Records in England. Have a good week! Claude

Very nice guy! I recorded him with his permission here in Marseille with Mal Waldron some years ago. Very great souvenir! RIP

Hi folks, The word "complete at Ronnie Scott's" is ridiculous for a such issue or reissue for some titles. Art Pepper played every day at Ronnie Scott from june 16 to june 29, 1980. I have all titles in more or less good quality. I guess that the project of Laurie Pepper is to issue all of them on CD. I think that the 7LP box set includes only the last 2 nights (june 28 & 29, 1980). In that case, the word complete is correct.

Dear King Ubu Thanks a lot for your very kind help! Claude
