    Fontella is on my Japanese BYG LP.

    I guess Pearson's first two LPs were recorded in late 1959 though they didn't appear in the racks until probably 1960. In my opinion, his best trio album is from 1961: I think of him as a bit more of a '60s player to be honest. "Jeannine" is such a great tune.

    Concur with quite a number of the above - need to dig out the Jordan on Signal/Savoy again. I'll add this:

    Bummer. He was something. RIP.

    Probably a marketing decision from Polydor. There's more material from those (or similar) sessions in the vaults, some of which has apparently seen digital release. I think at least some of that is more "out."

    So sorry for your loss, Dan. Beautiful and hip dog, clearly.

    Jym Young's San Francisco Avant-garde - Puzzle Box - (International Polydor GER orig) excellent quartet date with Bennett Friedman, Harley White and Jim Messinger.

    Art Farmer - Work of Art - (Prestige New Jazz/Japanese Victor, mono)
  9. clifford_thornton
    Jerome Richardson - Going to the Movies - (UA stereo orig) separation is a little weird, but it's a really nice record.

    Yeesh.

    Damn - I hope those crappy MP3s aren't an indication of how the reissue sounds. I mean, I know it's probably lo-fi but the compression on the drums sounds awful.

    Will try to make all the NY gigs for both me and Allen...

    Wish I could attend that Austin gig - jeez!

    Stuck with a Jasmine issue, but I'm surviving... Now: Ted Curson - Blue Piccolo - (Whynot, JP)
  15. clifford_thornton
    good choice.
  16. clifford_thornton
    Nope, but that is also a good album!

    Why Not? is a George Cables record. (But I do agree with you that it's a wonderful record!) Cables. Cowell. Easy to mix 'em up. Nope, Why Not? as in the Marion Brown LP from 1966...
  18. clifford_thornton
    Nice one. I was there, my first jazz concert. The Couriers were supporting Dave Brubeck. damn - that's pretty incredible.

    I'll have to find Ted's release of Mr. Cowell's music. Musa is really excellent solo piano music indeed. His work with Marion Brown is lovely - check side two of Three for Shepp as a place to start, and Why Not? is excellent as well.
  21. clifford_thornton
    Yes, Blues for the Vietcong, and Brilliant Circles is also excellent. (I'd throw in the Strata-East LPs if I were being a little more loosey-goosey with my rec's)

    I have never heard of Peter Beets so I will check him out. The point of this thread, I think, is to mention people that some/many of us may never have heard of, and for that I'm grateful. Sure, there are those of us who've been listening to Bobby Few or whomever for many years but hey, someone could always be turned onto his music.

    I had actually forgotten all about that - early incarnation of Trio 3 + Crispell. Wonder if they'll revisit?
  24. clifford_thornton
    I thought the Shepp photo had circulated before and was included in the Love Supreme set from the early 00's.

    The Paris Quartet - Jazz a Confronto 28 - (Horo) Jeanneau, Graillier, Jenny-Clarke and Romano diving into some Coltrane-esque modal hard-bop regions. Not particularly ground-breaking and maybe a bit anachronistic for the late 70s, but nice.
