I cant consider myself as an expert, but as far as I'm familiar with Duke Ellington's live recordings, this is probably one of the best. Brownie, do you have anything to tell us about February 1963 in Paris???
It was a great concert of the famous band in 1940. The set is new and sealed. 40$ and it's yours. Free shipping. I'm ready also to trade if you have any interesting offer.
the same set on Amazon.com.
Coltrane- ALS.
Mingus- The Black Saint & The sinner Lady.
Art Pepper- Meets the Rhythm Section.
RRK- Domino.
Archie Shepp- Mama Too Tight.
Paul Bley- Bebop.
Yesterday evening I've listened to the "Liberian Suite". I got the live recording from the Carnegie Hall concert in 1947. Do you know if there is any studio recording of this suite??? Beautiful suite, btw.

I first encountered the name of this saxophone player while listening to Deep Cove, an excellent recording by Renee Rosnes. If my memory serves me correctly, his name does not appear on any of my CD's. Nothing about him on AMG and his website is under construction. In another thread discussing the music and playing of Renee Rosnes, John Tapscott mentioned Campbell Ryga is Canadian by origin.
What else do you know about him? What else has he done in his life? Any other interesting recordings?
I doubt if it's possible due to the deteriorating health of Max Roach, but I would like to see him again with Sonny Rollins.
Last one I can think of at the moment:
Marilyn Crispell, Hamid Drake, Peter Broztman or Fred Anderson.
Marilyn Crispell, Oliver Lake & Reggie Workman.
