OF COURSE IT DOESN"T!

Many More happy ones Mr. L!

Allan, Paula is a Brazilian singer who is a veteran of the music scene enjoying a contemporary upsurge of interest due to the collaborations she, Ryko Sakamoto, and Paulo Jobim have made in the last four years or so. With her husband Jacques (cellist and arranger and composer) she worked with Jobim in his final decade or so, in his wonderful "banda nova". . . I really love these recordings and she makes solid contributions. I really like her voice, and her "presence" . . . . This one seems to be a bit of a departure in that she is using synths and drum machines and scratchin' record apparently as a backdrop/accompaniment at least in part. Her hubby Jacques seems to be involved, which is a PLUS. I can DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THESE:

Probably same distributors in a different outlet. . . maybe not. . . doesn't matter. As you say, very good music at a great price!

This one is also available on yourmusic and I can highly recommend it without reservation: It has one draw back: it is too short. It doesn't go on for days!

Well, this is contemporary Brazilian music from a singer who is a Bossa Nova and beyond veteran. With her husband Jacques (cellist and arranger and composer) she worked with Jobim in his final decade or so, and has worked with others recreating Jobim's music over the last five years. I really like her voice, and her "presence" . . . . This one seems to be a bit of a departure in that she is using synths and drum machines and scratchin' record apparently as a backdrop/accompaniment at least in part. And I'm not sure if hubby is involved (if her husband IS involved that is a big plus). If you want to wait I promise to give a brief report in a week or so when I have it in hand.

Did a little order that included the new Paula Morelenbaum, which I didn't even know was released. . . . Looks "contemporary" with synths and drum machines but for five bucks I tried it! (I love Paula in Jobim's band and with her husband and Sakamoto).

Okay, Vignettes, and Excursions still seem available for $0.75 but 1-2-3-4 is now only available for the higher price of . . .$1.59.

Good job gentlemen! I think you filled it in. After that. . . you'll just grab up anything else you see!

Lifelong passion? I hadn't noticed. . .. Thanks for sharing those experiences!

Check out the Ray Drummond's on half.com. . . at least three titles on Arabesque that are good releases and available sealed for less than a dollar and shipping!

Somehow I was attuned to your opinion last night. .. I passed on the Bley and added the Burrell to an order with the next Duke Treasury Shows volume. . ..

Those are both good ones. (That stereo piece on that one Rockland always gasses me). It really is a horn of plenty. . . . Bird was so consistently brilliant that it's almost as if whatever you are listening to is your favorite! Or you pick favorites by his accompanists.

The biggest similiarity I see is I like them both. That's about IT! I need to explore more Nina. . . I really haven't heard much of the RCA material. I have nearly all the Cassandra there is. My favorite is "Belly of the Sun"--it seems an apex to me, a culmination of all that went before. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next few releases. . . . I think she needs to move into a new "something."

The other two I'm interested in are the Burrell and the Bley. . . guesss I better think about ordering them.

I finally got four (Shorter, Shepp, Wright, Rudd) and I like the packaging. Listened to the Shepp and I ttally dig it, the drummning, the soprano, the trumpeting and more. . . it's a great one! Sound (both original recording and remastering) seems excelent.

Alan, I remember it as being a pretty good lp.

I did a little yourmusic.com order that included Dylan's "Desire", Bootlegs Vol. 5, and this by Paula Morelenbaum that I didn't even know about and looks great: She's so cool!

Some of the Birdland stuff. . . with KD. . . with Fats. . . with Miles. . . . Those I probably reach for most often and have had the longest. Makes them my favorites. . . by default or sumpin'.

Singin' the Blues, Columbia This has what Rank has called his favorite perfomance ("At the Jazz Band Ball") and more. . . . I haven't heard anything from Rank's sixties and seventies comeback (would like to!). . . .This material in small group with Bix is what his "name" is built on and shows him off well.

Aw heck, we just love trombonists over here on this board!

Yes, 1952 ot 1953 or thereabouts I believe.

I listened to this several times yesterday actually. The drums are exceptionally well recorded and well performed! (The TOCJ is much better than the Fresh Sounds in the aspect of sonics). Bud has some great moments too, few and far between. Still, I like this trio with Ore and Moses and I am glad I have this. I don't know how much Bud you have Daniel, Brad's right, get the Verves and the Steeplechases first. . . and the Mythic Sounds if you can find them. . . . I

I'd like to hear that, and many other, Fat Cat lp(s)!

Some info from Yanow: Rank, Bill Trombonist, Rank, Bill is most famous for having participated on some classic recordings with Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer in the 1920's. He began his professional career in 1921, playing with Collins' Jazz Band in Florida and then in Indianapolis as part of Tade Dolan's Singing Orchestra. Rank joined Jean Goldkette's Orchestra in 1923 and was with Goldkette through the summer of 1927 including the Beiderbecke era. He was with Adrian Rollini's legendary (if short-lived) orchestra, recorded with Sam Lanin, Roger Wolfe Kahn and Nat Shilkret and then was with Paul Whiteman's Orchestra from Dec. 1927 up until 1938, appearing on many recordings. After four years playing in the Hollywood studios, Rank moved to Cincinnati where he led his own bands by night while working in the insurance industry by day. In the late 1960's he became more active in music, visiting Europe a few times and appearing at numerous classic jazz festivals in the 70's where he was treated as a legend. Bill Rank led his lone record date in 1973, a tribute to Bix Beiderbecke for Fat Cat's Jazz.
