I hope no one thought I wouldn't love to hear it as well!

Africa Brass, the originally released material on a K2 Japanese Impulse disc.

On the contrary, thanks for the reminiscing. I fell under Ms Brooks' spell some years back and grabbed all that I could of her material and truly admire her work. I don't know anything about this recording with Konitz and Marsh and it sounds intriguing but probably is far from essential for Konitz and Marsh collectors. . . .

I have the Mosaic set which includes these items. That set keeps giving. . . I find new pleasure in it year after year.

Agree entirely.

Honestly I wouldn't want any of those. This is the amp I would buy if I had the money. . . .The Decware Torii II Going to have the power for those speakers, doesn't need a preamp, very flexible, and is reported to be THE SCHITTE. I have several other amplifiers from this maker and would love to have this flagship. http://www.decware.com/newsite/mainmenu.htm He offers an 220 volt model.

ANOTHER Cannon to pick up, glad they're putting this one out. I like the lp.

Just for the record, I care. Been distracted lately, but I care. And you may have saved me a half a spin!

"The vastly overrated 'A Love Supreme'"? Not something I would say. I used to underestimate this album but year by year it becomes more important to me. And to some others I know. Lists shmlists.

The third choice was the one that suited me best. Wonder what Dr. Zaragemca would say about this? (AAJers know what I'm talkin' bout).

Haven't heard this version, but I've had others. Japan, 1963. Here's an AAJ article: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=20619

I voted for Lady and Pres. Could have easily been B. B. and Lucille lately! Also really dig Carmen with Jimmy Rowles as musical director. And Helen Merrill and Dick Katz. . . Helen Humes and Count Basie Orchestra. . . Ivy Anderson and Duke's groups. . . . Lots of possibilities that are "poll-able" in my opinion.

Yes, some blazing Pigpen on there. Also on Download #12, St. Louis 1969. The band is having fun throwing misplaced accents and offbeats at him, and he's throwing them right back. Hmmm.. . another one for me to get around too when I'm back home. . . .

Why did I not pick up "Fallout from the Phil Zone" a long time ago? There's some really good Pigpen on these discs!

Didn't Marvin play a bass player? And IIRC doesn't he have a speech where he talks about having to pluck all evening after he had lost his bow? (Maybe it was another actor.) I've often wondered about that line. Did bass players in early bands often use their bows? No, Marvin plays the clarinetist. YES, bassists often bowed. Steve Brown, Wellman Braud, many another in those years. A bowed bass often used to emulate a blown bass. . . .

I haven't seen any of these. I'd be sort of interested to see the director's first big screen effort. . . but I've stayed away from all of these because I just don't like to see Tom C on the screen. He gives me the creeps. It's a personal aversion I know.

Lon, Sorry to ask a philistine question, but is "Pete Kelly" a small group or a big band session? Thanks. I desire for the Mosaic small group BG sessions is obviously not just for the Peggy Lee vocals. I just love BG small group sessions -- Capitol and RCA sessions come to mind. I love BG small group sessions too, and have tracked down all I can. . . just aren't any Lee vocals on the small group Columbias I've found. "Pete Kelly's Blues" was a movie starring Jack Webb as a Bix like character. Totally unconvincing in that regard. Peggy Lee had an interesting part as an alcholic and bipolar singer. . . she was nominated for an academy award. The band was a septet I think, sort of a Hollywood version of dixie material. There were about four or five lp and ep combinations of material from the film and by the core musicians outside the film that are really nice. Dick Cathcart. . . I really like his playing, he "ghosted" Webb's trumpet in the film. (Lee Marvin sort of was playing Pee Wee Russell. .. ) There was Decca release that had a few Lee songs and Ella's contribution. Mahbe one day they'll make and expanded version as a "Verve Master Edition." (Yeah right.) Lon, Tower lists this BG small group CD from Columbia that has 5 numbers with Peggy Lee singing: http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?p...t=Benny+Goodman Cool. I even have that at home somewhere, forgotten about; I don't remember the Lee numbers on this one. . . I haven't spun it since my Lee fascination began. I don't think there's any more than that in the can, or a certain drummer in the Cortland area would have sent me lp burns. . . ..

I don't know Reiner, some time ago I was able to find about three copies of that Hayes on Classics . . . . I don't know how many they made, but they were findable. I also remember seeing that it was due to come out again elsewhere, but can't remember the details. None-the-less a fine box set, indeed. All these sessions should be in print in an ideal world but this isn't hat world.

Been on a Coltrane, and a Monk ride, not their material together, but separately. Also for some reason since my wife's diagnosed illness I've been really getting into B. B. King. . .and the Jefferson Airplane . . . .For different reasons. One for the joy. . .the other for the gritty determined defiance I guess.

Also, there's some cool Decca sides, especially the "Pete Kelly Blues" bits (I love all the incarnations of the music from that film, CATHCART!)

I've become a real Lee nut and have been enjoying her material the last few years with glee. I don't know about small group Lee vocals with Goodman, don't think there's much that was recorded in the Columbia years (?) outside those big band sides on that excellent two cd set. I'll also mention the two great "Live at Basin Street East" cds, the Capitol mostly NOT live, and the excellent Collector's Choice cd of the next night (or the night before, my memory is sketchy, and I'm in Houston and my cd is in Austin). Great smallish group, fantastic singing.

I've two of these Delmarks and like them. Should work on getting the others. I really like the old Savoy lp under his name, and the Charlie Parker Records session too.l

What. . .? You mean you don't make your own Miles boot art? I thought everyone did!
