For sale. Two cds by pianist Pilc with Francois Moutin and Ari Hoenig for sale on the Dutch A-records label. $20.00 airmailed from the UK. Both like new. PM me if interested.

Ordered just the once, but excellent service (to the UK).

Same here, I've still to play the Moncur Select set and there's still a Mulligan CJB disc to play.

Thanks for reviving the AOTW, especially as I din't have the last two or three. Well done.

This has just got a pretty bad review in Jazzwise. I have an vinyl reissue of this and I dont recall it being that bad. Interesting and unusual but not essential. I'll have to put it on the to play pile.

The two Japanese Emarcy lps of alternate takes of the Mulligan sextets contains a decent discography. If anyone's interested I'll do a copy. PM me.

Ronald, Glad you liked it. The Tonic gig has great lineup. If it sees the light of day I'll be getting it. John

Tucson I guess.

This landed on my doormat this morning. I've only had a chance to give it a quick audition in the PC but it sounds great. Well up to the standard of his Silkheart recordings. Good solos from everybody and a spicy collection of compositions. As well as Gonzalez, Tim Green and Andrew Lamb (both new to me) are on reeds. Great Malachi Favors plays bass, the drummer is Alvin Fielder. This is going to get a lot of plays.

Have a great day. After visiting Arizona last September there's nothing I'd like more than to join you for a beer.

I've always found Bud Powell's version especialy moving and a little disturbing.

At the end of last year there was a topic on London's Mole Jazz record shop. Tried to find the old topic but no luck. I'd like to ask shop regulars if things were looking up there now or if it still seems to be in decline. I did hear from a friend that on a recent visit they declined to take anything in px.

Mulligan CJB was the last Mosaic. Last Select was Bob Brookmeyer. Just ordered Tristono/Konitz/Marsh before it goes. I have most of the music on vinyl but with the current rate of exchange it seemed to good a chance to miss to upgrade.

My first set was Muligan/Baker. When was that mid-eighties?

I've only heard him on one disc with Dave Liebman, "Return Of The Tenor-Standards". Very striking playing, somewhat in the style of Scofield imo. Recommended.

I've seen the lineup somewhere (mainly session players rather than jazz "stars" if I remember correctly) but I can't find it at present. A quick look in Lord didn't reveal anything. Anyway here's the cover, sorry about the quality.

I still have the English release!

Bob Porter wrote some nice things for the Savoy reissue series. Cuscuna of course. Gilter's always readable. I was just looking at Warne Marsh's "All Music", excellent notes by Lawrence Kart there that actually tell you something about the music.

Happy birthday Alan, my thanks too for Jazzmatazz. Nice to share a birthday with such illustrious company.

I find them quite dull, even the live concert I saw was very ordinary, especially when compared to say, Uri Caine's Trio, who I saw round about the same time.

This is great news, a superb album and with extra tracks. I'll be ordering shortly.

Surely one of the main reasons we use boards is to find out what's going on. If another board posts something of interest to all of us what is wrong with saying so? Ricci is being very petty here and I can't understand why. Dan's post is beside the point and neither here nor there. I spend a few moment at AAJ on Saturday mornings, I can't imagine I'll be going there much in the future.

If you enjoy Johnny Lytle then the UK BGB issue of the two Tuba albums is worth picking up.

I don't want to take anything away from the other guys but it's Gil Evans for me. A complete original.

The London School Of Economics theatre wasn't the ideal place. Curious beer swilling students wandering in and out. I wasn't well seated but the music, and especially Ayler's sound was terrific. Beaver Harris too was something else. The format was two sets to be video'd for televising on the BBC. "The Truth Is Marching In" was the only piece played, repeated in both sets (about 40 minutes each as I recall, the set time being dictated by the programme length). The video was wiped by the BBC allegedly because the Controller thought it to awful to broadcast-or maybe it was Beaver Harris in a vest which caused the problem.
