You really like those shrinking violet-type trombonists, eh?

FABulous album.

This list reminds me that those Charlie Christian proto-bop jams were also on the label (sounding so much better on the JSP box). http://www.discogs.com/label/Everest+Record+Group

I had a slew of those Everests as a teenager, jazz and blues. The Dolphy Music Matador session was half of one lp. The Mingus session with Thrice Upon a Theme, etc. They had Bird's Royal Roost broadcasts as well as the Birdland one mentioned above. I had that Haig album too (and used to see him & Jimmy Raney at a bar called Gregory's). The Cannonball and Trane session was issued on that label too, which is one of the most weird, because wasn't it originally on Mercury? The Rollins session is pretty good. First recording of Sonnymoon, right?

S.R.?

Rooms to let, fifty cents.

Something worth seeking, if one seeks such things, is an unissued recording from the 2002 Frankfurt Festival of "Complete Reunion" with Gato, Rava, Danilo Rea, Roberto Gatto and Rosario Bonaccorso.

A friend told me that Nate Wooley posted on Facebook that Bill Dixon has died. I have no further details.
