Damn - and I was hoping my spare original would pay for my pension.. :rsmile:

Curtis Amy 'Tippin' On Through' (Pacific Jazz black label mono)

Pretty good, eh? :rsmile:

Yes, I think it would be a good move to post the links to the BFTs and not have them available open access here. Al - is this possible to set up please? Thanks.

For me, there are two obvious candidate reissues of the more recent material: Woody Shaw 'Bemsha Swing' Tony Williams 'Tokyo Live' Mosaic Selects with additional material perhaps?

I have that issue too. Beats spending $k's for an original. Currently :- Don Sickler - 'The Music Of Kenny Dorham' (Uptown)

Have a good one !

Interesting. Even back in the early 80s you had to buy food at Ronnies to get a drink late on. The Spag Boll was always a good (safe) option.

Check out Prince Lasha - his album for UK CBS ('Insight') features some very good flute. Dolphy on Prestige obviously a good bet for the flute too ! Also some fantastic flute on Tubby Hayes 'Mexican Green' (the track 'Trenton Place' in particular).

John Sergeant (dancing sausage in cuban heels) Sgt Bilko Sgt Buzzcut

Yeah, that would be about the right timescale for Harriott & co. at the Marquee. Would have loved to have seen that ! Is it true that the band-room there had a pet rat?

On the 'Miles Electric' DVD there's a short excerpt of Tiny Tim "singing" 'There'll Always Be An England'. About 1.5 seconds worth ( ) before segueing in to the Main Event.

More good stuff from Dan: Jazz Crusaders 'Uh Huh' (Pacific Jazz stereo) Three Sounds 'Soul Symphony' (BN Liberty blue/black stereo)

He was on right before Miles !

The Ronnie Scott Quartet and Quintet of the late 70s and 80s was featured a lot at the club. Most of the time the band were support act for the main attraction (with Dick Pearce on trumpet/flugel, John Critchenson on piano/fender, Ron Mathewson on bass and Martin Drew on drums - latterly with Mornington Lockett on tenor). Ronnie was an extremely good and under-rated player on tenor - his love for Hank Mobley was obvious from his style (I think I read somewhere that he had most of Mobley's Blue Notes on LP on his shelf - maybe that was in the book written by his daughter?). Very melodic and always seeking new and interesting directions in his solos. And without a doubt he was one of the funniest jazz musicians who ever lived. Maybe only Buddy Rich could match him in that respect. In fact some of the funniest interludes I saw from him were when the club was seriously threatened with bankruptcy back around 1980 due to tax demands and could easily have gone under. Impressive ! I have to say - for me personally he's the favourite of the 3 tenors in the CBBB (although they are all great). Check out his solos on the 'Change of Scenes' LP.

Hank Mobley 'The Flip' (BN Liberty blue/white stereo)

Hipnosis. It's "pretty good." Totally agree with that verdict. Japanese King also did a single LP issue of that session.

Three Sounds/Oliver Nelson 'Coldwater Flat' (BN Liberty blue/white stereo) Art Farmer 'The Many Faces Of Art Farmer' (Specter, stereo)

Early Mitchell turntable? (must have been about 1972 I guess?)

Is that anything like a stereo "Katanga"?

Ah - that explains it.

Did you get your cart fixed?

Yes, it is. What does "audition copy" mean? MG Marked on the back 'Audition Copy'. Probably originally an advance copy given out to DJs, critics etc.

Grant Green 'Goin' West' (Libery blue/white stereo, audition copy). Suprisingly good !
