That's one I play very often. This and Sticky Fingers are their two favourite albums for me. And it's also when they got more americanised. But now I'm with this: A great album and one I liked very much when I was in my twenties.

That's a great album. I think my brother went to see him around this time, that's why I have a Big world-T shirt, which I still have.

Select #1. With McLean and Moncur. A great combination. Very great! I love the early 60s McLean.

With Kenny Burrell AND Freddie Green.

Oh, I have that one, and it's lovely. I got it in Andorra of all places.

I am in a similar situation with a Win Vista machine I have owned for 10 years, but which I will substitute for another Win machine but with Win10. I have always used Itunes for Win, with excellent results, although in an old state, with Itunes 10.1 from 2010, version with which I stalled in 2010 because I didn't like what was coming next. Specially sightwise. Now I am in a situation where i'm going to change to the new machine (maybe tomorrow), but I don't want to lose my whole library, which is more than 61 Gb big. I assume I'll have to install the latest version of Itunes because mine doesn't work in some things anymore. Like for example updating podcasts, where I always get a Couldn't establish a network connection message, although there IS that connection. So how is Sharepod? I'm not particularly worried about Ipod compatibility, because though I had one, I don't use it anymore.

Thanks for the link. And I already know about Jazzwax. It's usually full of interesting information. Plus I have read a couple of Mark Myers books. I particularly remember Why jazz happened, which analyzes possible inluences on the development of whole branches of jazz. Thus, for example, claiming that the wide network of Californian freeways and the wide landscapes possibly gave birth to West Coast Jazz. A genre I like a lot, though it has often been maligned.

I read somewhere some time ago that they had met in the Army.

The US package arrived today. The other, which I assume is from the UK and which is the Shirley Scott preorder, still has to show up.

I'm waiting for one package from the UK, I think, and one from the US. It's longer than usual.

And enjoying it immensly. Not only because of Charlie Christian, also because of all of the others. I was listening to Hampton's Mosaic before, so he's a link.

Great article!

I had a terrible case of cannonballitis tonight and I listened to this and now to this Also with Hank Jones, but with Paul Chambers and Kenny Clarke in place of Sam Jones and Art Blakey. Plus his brother Nat instead of Miles.

In general I like small groups, so I'm in heaven here. Goodman in a very small setting. Just clarinet, piano and drums. From the late forties and mid-fifties.

I think the story of ABC-Impulse is covered here: Ashley Kahn (2006) The House That Trane Built: The Story of Impulse Records, W.W. Norton, ISBN 0-393-05879-4 . A book which I have but haven't read yet.

The other day I listened with great delight to Dizzy Reece's Coming On, which by the way wasn't issued until 1999, thanks to Cuscuna, I think, and now I've rediscovered this, where Tubby Hayes is on tenor:

I would do that too if I had it. Have lots of standalone Atlantic CDs though. Which is enough for me. But if I hadn't those I would go for the boxset, to have the complete Atlantic output.

Yes, l think it's Steppin out. And I also have it as a TOCJ. Haven't played it myself in a long while. Probably couldn't find it right now, what with the flat move of a couple of years ago. But that I haven't played it doesn't mean it's no good. More that I don't know where it is . And I remember it being an interesting souljazz thing. That one also looks interesting. With lots of West Coast players. Gilles Peterson is also behind this reissue? The reissue projects he gets behind usually are quite interesting.

Just got it. Although it's a prerelease.

I have her Girl Talk on Impulse, which I like very much, and will probably be getting this one. I didn't know about her relation to Maxine Gordon. I also have one rare Harold Vick BN album as a Japanese Mini LP.

My father had a Revox when I was growing up and I also remember that wrinkled tape that sometimes was the result of some misoperation.

That's a great and important celebration marking the end of WWII. A very important day. Well I'm mistaken for it wasn't the end of WWII, but at least of the European hostilities.

Thanks for the helpful views. And, apart from that, Graham Marsh is the compiler, together with Glyn Callingham, of an excellent BN cover book I have. And also of California Cool, again with Callingham. So you could say he's specialized in cover books, which are generally very good.
