I would love to hear Renee Rosnes play, but she's probably never been to these shores :-( If it makes you feel any better, Renee doesn't come to Boston much anymore either and we're only a car drive away. Renee Rosnes is great. Didn't she originate in Saskatoon or thereabouts? Remember seeing her a couple of times with JJ Johnson - fine stuff. I can't recall hearing of her touring the UK.

Willie Makeit Willie Whitelaw Wee Willie Harris

Arkwright.... didn't he do the 'spinning jenny'?

Obligatory in Sidmouth !

It's been like that for a while I think - certainly since before the recent sales. I just hope that they don't do another '2010 meltdown'.

with Irish dancing?

That is interesting, Shawn. I remember seeing Stanley T. back then at Jazz Alley but never heard who was in the band so I might have seen him. What a great evening that was. Must have been around 1994/95. Very sorry to hear this news - I think I also saw Kenny Drew Jr. as part of the Mingus Big band here in the UK some years ago. He was very, very good. Truly a tragedy - RIP.

There are upsides. It is a good excuse to put in a big Mosaic and Japanese CD order.

Have a good one Shawn ! :party:

Is that the same content as the Collectors Choice CD John or is there new additional material on it? I have the CC.

Happy Birthday Lon ! :party:

Herbie Hancock 'Speak Like A Child' (Music Matters 2x45rpm) catching up on a backlog of these MM issues

'Joe Newman Quintet at Count Basie's' (Mercury, stereo). With Oliver Nelson

when i saw Pat last year i presented this for him to sign- he smiled and recalled it as his 1st session! he was also like: theres my real name. Pat Martino must have just about the most elaborate musician signature out there. What he did on the cover of my 'El Hombre' is a work of art !

Sad news to start the day, RIP. Don't think I ever saw him but sessions he was on have given me a lot of pleasure over the years.

I wonder who 'Baby Face Willette Willow' is? and 'Hollie' Cole...

With 2 UK original pressings, an original US pressing, at least one vinyl reissue and several (at least 3) CD versions of various vintages plus the 4CD box set............. I'll pass !!

I remember a pretty good branch of this place down on Lakeshore Boulevard West in the Mimico area - no doubt it has long since folded up. Good selection though ! http://www.retrontario.com/2013/01/22/peter-dunns-vinyl-museum-1980/

Yes, I like that one. Come to think of it, I've never heard a dull session under Mel's name - have you? Can't think of any..

'Mel Lewis & Friends' (A&M Horizon) Great swinging band with Hank Jones in his usual immaculate form.

DLT Hairy Cornflake Honey Monster

Buddy de Franco 'Blues Bag' (UK Joy DG stereo) One of the great stealth Blakey albums..

John Patton 'Memphis To New York Spirit' (BN Rare Groove) Bobby Hutcherson 'Linger Lane' (BN Blue Label)

Back in action again. Leonard Feather/Dick Hyman Orchestra 'Hi Fi Suite' (UK MGM). Nice copy for £4 !
