A bit of wonga paypalled over. Thanks for keeping things on the road..

Fred Katz & ensemble - 'Fred Katz & His Jammers' (Decca, stereo). RIP Mr Katz.

Sorry to hear this - I saw him one one occasion conducting one of his compositions with a Third-Stream group, which was intriguing. RIP.

CDs 1 and 2 of this box - the Ruby Braff sessions. Nice !

Not got it yet - won't rush to pick it up (I found the clips I heard a bit on the twee side too).

Congrats from me too !

There's also a 1950s Swedish film (or is it Danish?) where he's in the backing group for Stan Getz. Filmed in a countryside location, from what I can remember. This one perhaps? http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldaterkammerater

Tate Modern on the South Bank (not far from RFH) should be a 'shoe-in' then (and its free - at least for the main galleries).

This is great news and no great suprise - about 6/7 years ago I asked Charles Tolliver at a panel session before his big band concert held in London if there were any more Mosaic Selects planned of the Strata-East material. He said at the time he was hoping that a Select of the Clifford Jordan sessions would be arranged. A bit of a delay but looks like they've gone one better than that. Plus the cats whiskers, squared... Something tells me this set will sell well, too.

Amazingly, I used his book of Daily Telegraph jazz reviews as a critical review of what to buy back in the 1970s ! A very entertaining read, although by then much of the review content had been deleted (old Esquire and Stateside LPs etc.)
