What's the link to the review? I don't see it on Amazon.

Monk has done this before. Rhythm-A-Ning was based off a riff Mary Lou Williams would play from time to time. He just built on it. As T.S. Elliot said, "Good poet borrow, great poets steal."

I am using Vonage. For 24.95 a month you can't beat it.

I remember Dorsey from this band.

Sad News. RIP Jaackie.

Cecil Taylor will play at this club in June. I do plan on going. This is a new venue to me. I'm curious about this club. Anyone here ever been to this club? http://www.lepoissonrouge.com/events/search?q=cecil+taylor

My copy was issued in 1990 MCA 42001. The release today I don't know the catalog number. I just read it on the Impulse web site and they don't offer a catalog number. Link to Impulse's release note My point is, if these were in the vault and known about, then the other releases were not true statements.

[re: The Complete Africa/Brass Sessions] I don't understand something. This release on Impulse was supposed to the complete Africa/Brass Sessions. Today Impuse/Verve released three previous unreleased takes from this session. Is this a marketing ploy by the label? Surely these three takes were known about. Now the collector that wants it all has to shell out more money when these takes could have fit on the aboved mentioned release. This is the note from Verve Records. "The label’s search for rarities yielded a truly remarkable discovery: unheard and never before available performances by John Coltrane, the leading light of the Impulse Record label. The three tracks were originally recorded in a demo session exactly fifty years ago – sometime in early 1961 – for Africa/Brass, Coltrane’s groundbreaking debut album on Impulse Records, and present Coltrane soloing in the company an all-star ensemble heavy on reeds and brass."

A lot of the sessions he worked on are too commercial for my taste. For example, the late releases of Wes Montgomery or albums by Hubert Laws, George Benson, and Hank Crawford to name just a few. He gets a lot of credit for his work for Impulse, Verve and CTI, but I don't get it. Sure his goal was to make the artists more commercial for a larger listening audience, but is his prodution work the best work by these artists?

I hope it was a great one Flurin.
