  1. Gordon Beck Trio 'Doctor Dolittle Loves Jazz' (Major Minor)
  2. Grrrr - still waiting for mine. Hopefully it will arrive next week..
  3. Excuse me for jumping in here, but Jazzbo's memory is correct. Demon's Dance was a regular release in 1987 and then repressed in the third and last Collector's Choice batch in 1997. It has never been a Connoisseur! It also has no bonus track. There were two Connoisseur batches in 1997. Each had a Jackie McLean title. They were Swing Swang Swingin' and 'Bout Soul respectively. What exactly is it you have, Sidewinder? Doh - It was 'Bout Soul' I was looking at. Sorry Jazzbo, you are quite correct, I need my eyes testing. Either that, or I have way too many CDs Too much looking at computer screens this week.
  4. Nat Adderley 'Work Song' (Riverside DG mono)
  5. The mono NY USA of that one is a gem. Most enjoyable !
  6. Oliver Nelson 'Screamin' The Blues' (New Jazz DG mono). With Eric Dolphy.
  7. 'Curried Jazz' - The Indo-British Ensemble (MFP)
  8. This one's rubbish ! You can send it to me.
  9. Definitely a Conn from 1997. Just checked my copy. Has one bonus track.
  10. It wouldn't be a Liberty pressing if it didn't have chronic ringwear and a clipped corner ! Great selection of music. Will look out for that one this weekend.
  11. Is the sound of the 'Demon's Dance' any better than the Conn?
  12. She also gets my vote. Throughly enjoyed her performance at NorthSea this Summer. Innovative - no. But in the best spirit of jazz - yes.
  13. Benny Golson 'Groovin' With Golson' (Esquire, mono). Benny and Curtis Fuller lettin' rip on this one and just about the heaviest slab of vinyl I have ever seen !
  14. But it doesn't have a black box, pink invoice and a number !
  15. Chico is ageless ! (He, Sam Rivers and Gerald Wilson should form a club). Very happy birthday to him and hopefully lots more to come..
  16. Jackie McLean 'McLean's Scene' (New Jazz DG mono)
  17. By the way, his quartet of albums from the sixties have been issued on CD but not distributed outside of his own company (QNote) and they don't publicise this fact. They are all excellent albums too and very very underrated. Dankworth's arrangements have certainly influenced the likes of Wheeler and Mike Gibbs to name but two. 'Full Circle' on Phillips from the early 1970s is also a very good one - although quite a bit more rock-oriented than 'Windmill Tilter'. Quite a few of the arrangements on this are by Mike Gibbs.
  18. Yep (along with the Mike Osborne 'Outback')
  19. Yep, it's a Johnny Dankworth album with arrangements by Kenny Wheeler.
  20. Kenny Wheeler 'Windmill Tilter' (Fontana stereo) Barbara Thompson 'Wilde Tales' (MCA)
  21. Absolutely superb LP - really a Johnny Dankworth Orchestra session from the late 60s, composed and arranged by Wheeler when he was in an 'inactive' period due to injury (and commisioned as a favour by Dankworth). The CD I believe will be a needle-drop from a mint/near mint LP of the Fontana, which now a pretty rare album on the vinyl. The Dankworth LPs from this period are not too difficult to find but this one seems to have slipped off the radar very quickly after issue. It's been a favourite of mine for some years now and I suspect lots of people on this board are going to enjoy it. I'm sure Dave Holland (who is on it by the way) must have been listening to it when he was doing the arrangements for his most recent big band LP (the way the brass unisons with vibes etc). Great Don Quixote/Sancho Panza cover too - must have cost 6d to put together but very effective !
  22. Check also a 'certain site' for a Gigi Campi documentary with the CBBB, transmitted originally on German language TV. Well worth picking up !
  23. Hey, I have that one too. I'll have to dig it out..
  24. Does she do spinach?
  25. Ask her if she likes Mosaics
