No, didn't seem to work

Me too, but I've added the new url to my favourites so I guess it'll be okay next time round.

With these simple and unpretentious words Brownie introduced himself to the audience of the Cotton Club in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 28, 1956. And indeed he played the trumpet, with a fire and excellence that earned him renown worldwide. May 28 was the opening night of a week-long engagement for the Max Roach-Clifford Brown Quintet, featuring Sonny Rollins on tenor sax, Richie Powell (Bud Powell's younger brother) on piano, and George Morrow on bass. Despite the exceptional talent of the individual band members, the quintet proved to be more than the sum of its parts. The Cleveland Cotton Club performances contained on this package -issued here for the first time ever- were recorded on amateur equipment and include sets played by the quintet on May 28, May 29 and June 1, 1956. As a bonus to these amazing performances, there is another previously unissued set: a radio broadcast by the same quintet coming from the Town Casino, in Buffalo, New York, recorded on February 26, 1956.

So sad to hear about this. I've not been in your position but I can imagine you feel like you've been punched in the stomach and probably a great deal worse. Good luck for the future, I'm sure things will turn out for the best in the end.

Welcome back - but as I was hospitalized for a large chunk of the week I didn't miss my daily Big O fix too much.

Looks like a must have to me. Pre-ordered.

Get well soon and back into action.

Certainly not vintage Green but worth a listen.

Couldn't agree more. Great music, deserves a proper reissue. Luckily I have the important titles (for me that is) on the original vinyl and a couple of Japanese cds.

Belated Birthday Greetings Kevin.

If Ornette can't take you "out" no one can,

Be nice to get to the Coleman date but it takes a lot to get me out these days.

Have a very Happy Birthday Bertrand.

Lord lists him on a few sessions. The only one I have is the Sadik Hakim on Charlie Parker Records. The most interesting is the unissued Hassan Ibn Ali on Atlantic

Seems like there's been quite a hike in ticket prices!

The only ones I have are 'Sweeping Through The City' (vinyl) on Enja with Ray Anderson and John Scofield, there's a gospel group on one track, and the two Blue Notes, 'Bordertown' and 'Twilight Time'. These are good timey things with Dr John, Anderson and Sco again. Good fun. Recommended

Great links bary01 and Brownie, thanks for posting.

Benny(Bennie) Green- Glidin' Along (Jazzland - UK Fontana issue).

Milt Jackson & Ray Charles; Soul Brothers. (Fifties UK London pressing) and followed up by another Jackson album from the same stable and probably my favourite Bags disc- Plenty, Plenty, Soul

Agreed, I have the Japanese vinyl too.

Not quite free jazz but inline with some of the suggestions above - I'd recommned Cecil Taylor's 'The World of Cecil Taylor' on Candid. Just avbput the most exciting piano jazz I've heard. Archie Shepp's 'Four For Trane' is suberb. Similarly the New York Contemporay Five is a fine intro too - the only available music is on a Storyville cd.

Happy Birthday Jim and thanks for everything

In his book 'Stopping Time' Bley says he sold the tapes for reuse to fund his move to New York if I remember correctly. Be great if there was more music though. For the most part this is essential music and whilst the sound is none too great the music overcomes the deficiency.

Happy Birthday David.
