His other auctions are similarly hilarious. Guess he forgot to carry the zero?

South African pianist who is not made up. Great name, too. I'd say it just how it looks - Ho' tepp Ee-driss Gah-leh-tah.

I'm not all that into mediocre - both good and "terrible" are memorable enough to leave an impression, and that is what matters.

Hell, that incident just made me get into his music MORE.

Well said. I've long thought Bruz was one of the most underrated and tasteful drummers. What a family.

RIP. I know him from his work with Kagel, etc in Cologne. Interesting character.

You can find Plastilyte discs on ESP recordings - the early ones, anyway.

Sweet - wish I could attend.

Thanks.

I was not able to find birth and death dates online for Bruz Freeman (drummer, brother of Von & George). The LPs I have with him as a sideman do not note a birth date either. Thanks!

Sorry for your loss, Berigan. Seemed like a great cat. Because of my roommate, I now have two cats to take care of and it's pretty great to be around pets with such personality.

All your dinner questions answered.

I'm fond of it.

I have very little Stan T. - the LP with the Three Sounds and sideman appearances w/ Horace Parlan, etc. That's not to say I haven't been curious about titles like the ones mentioned here, though.

Indeed, great record. My ex girlfriend is a Hank Mobley fan (don't ask why I let that go) and was very surprised on hearing it - guess Milt was the kicker.

I've only heard the Riverside. Thought it was okay, but didn't entirely grab.

Girl From Martinique. It's a fine one; I recommend the Free State Band on America as well, even if Francois Nyombo's guitar is underrecorded.

There are lots of other Carter/Bradford releases - why make this obviously Andorran claim? I recall once owning a Carter/Bradford on one of those small European labels from the late 70's (Moers Music?). Am I wrong? Yeah, that's right. It's Carter's date. I have the previously issued material on wax but will be very happy to have this set.

More to look out for - thanks! now, Nate Wooley - Trumpet/Amplifier - (Smeraldina-Rima)

I'd like to hear that - his sideman appearances on Steeplechase are real fine, IMO.

I have most of it on CD or LP, save Poppin'. Great deal for anybody who doesn't have the material (duh).

VG copy of this one goes for over $700! I listened to the sound clips and no way it was VG+(+).
