You could be right. I've never seen another copy on Amiga or FMP.

Belated greetings Kevin

I have a copy, signed by Peter Clayton. It's a light humorous read.

I'd certainly add my recommendation to Bobby's Blue Note cds.

Here's an interesting Leo Smith album, with Peter Kowald and Gunter Sommer. It's on the East German Amiga Jazz label, licensed from FMP. Recorded in W.Berlin in 1979. I was at a performance by this trio in London around that time.

Didn't really expect it to have the impact of Aftermath but there is some powerful, swinging and lovely music here. Like John B I'd recommend it to fans of the first disc.

Happy Birthday Bertrand.

Hans Ulrik(tenor and soprano) with Sco, Palle Danielson and Peter Erskine. Eight tracks recorded in Denmark in 1999. on Stunt STUCD 00032. $10.00 to my Paypal account. Includes airmail post from the UK.

I was playing "This Time The Dream's On Me" yesterday. Easy to underestimate how good these live baker sessions are.

Here's my two cent's worth - I've yet to hear a Bennie Green recording I didn't like.

I have Japanese vinyl - no information on who engineered these dates but they were recorded in Los Angeles in 1956

I'm happy with Jarrett and it's been a while since I read Carr's book but I remember it being a dead loss, everything is "golly it's so great". I don't recall one word of criticism.

Gas here, the only problem is the British weather. You can bet your life if you plan a grill there will be a gale or it will pour with rain.

Nothing against world music, I just wish that jazz mags/festivals didn't give so much space to it these days.

Like! Both his accoustic and later electric. Very personal melodic playing on electric bass.

Happy birthday Jim

I don't see much to laugh about these days.

I like Donald Byrd (especially early Byrd). I find Byrd's cooler sound an attractive alternative to the more outgoing playing of Hubbard and Morgan. I particularly enjoy the long lines he plays. Never been too keen on Adams but here he's pretty restrained and plays as well as I've heard. Piano, bass and drums all add to very nice set with a cool bunch of tunes.

Fortune has Monk cds on Blue Note and Konnex. There's not a lot to choose between them imo.

I like Dorham a lot but I'm not a big fan of this either. Best bits for me are "Straight Ahead" (it's just that) and the cd bonus ballad where Dorham shows off his lovely slightly smokey tone. The title track goes on a tad too long and I could have done witthout the switches between latin and swing in the solos during the solo sequence on Sao Paulo. Nevertheless nice to give this one a dust off.

My thanks too, the Jazz Crusaders definitely, maybe the Cannonball but I probably have enough.

Happy birthday David, have a great day.

The "b" side, I'm gonna go fishin'. Just a guess but the Lord entry seems to suggest it.

Never had any problems with the "getting it for less" from Amazon sellers. In fact I'm using it more and more.

I'm not a Braxton fan but I've just played his Willisau Concert from 1979 on hatArt with Ray Anderson, John Lindberg and Thurman Barker. Lot's of straight ahead swinging stuff especially on composition 69G
