Happy Birthday - Have a weissbier or three ! :party:

are these Kentonesque sides? I would say so - yes.

Strange - All I see is something about Britney Spears writing novels !

Both of the Russos are excellent, Roger. Stellar band line-ups and very well recorded by Lansdowne. I'm particularly fond of 'Stonehenge' - at the time that this one was recorded you could clamber all over the stones unimpeded too.

Totally agree. I have both the Jo Jones and Vic Dickinson 2LP sets and they are absolutely classic mainstream - up there in terms of quality with the likes of the Buck Clayton Jam Sessions on Columbia.

Still have my copy of that one too. Raised quite a stir when it came out on Island (I remember Richard Williams did a great Melody Maker article on it).

Jeez !

The only place I've ever seen the 'Dave Burns' on sale was in a record store in NYC. About $20 - but sadly it was beat up. Both of the Burns have been out on reissue vinyl though during the 2000s.

Strange that they didn't combine 'Russo In London' with 'Stonehenge'. Good to see this one out on CD, nevertheless !

I had a ticket for the Bristol gig (Colston Hall) on that tour but was snowed in and never got within 50 miles of it !

Just got my notice. Banana boat beckons !

Same here - Happy Birthday Porcy ! :party:

Many Happy Returns - Have a Great day ! :party:

Always really liked his playing on this one too. I think it was the first album I ever heard that featured Ted Curson in the lineup (some of the tracks at least). 'Little Lees' in particular - courtesy of that great Cecil Taylor Blue Note/UA twofer set.

Thanks for the heads-up !

Fine player who handled the hard bop/free transition territory with rare aplomb. Only sorry I didn't get to see him play in person - RIP. Time to dig out the Mingus Candid Mosaic to reflect on his work. Plus that fantastic work he did on various Beehive LPs (Sal Nistico, Nick Brignola).

Some of them took a trip to the States for me to track down. Lalo Schifrin case in point !

Tony Williams 'Angel Street' (BN DMM)

Didn't he co-own Nocturne Records with Roy Harte? Sounds like a 'highly probable'.

That one was in one of Alan's boxes at Swanage I think ! I'm sure he also had the one with the Jones Brothers - or was it the Gillespie 'Perception'?
