    For anyone interested, the response by Evans to Crow's review can be found at the following site: https://www.jazzstudiesonline.org/content/jazz-review THE JAZZ REVIEW - VOLUME 2, Number 7, August, 1959 (Letters/ page 3) Evans essentially responds to what he sees as a biased attack on a personal friend, rather than addressing any issues raised by Crow. Important Site!

    It would be interesting to know Evans' reply ...

    Looks like a great job - many thanks ... Question - How does the Rank Progress work? I joined in 2004 and have just been promoted to "Newbie" (with 3 badges) ! How long before I become a "Grand Master"?

    #4 Serves me right - I couldn't hear it, and my French stinks - It's Soft Shoe from the Mulligan Quartet at La Pleyel 1954.

    #4 Tune would have to be "Walkin' Shoes", thanks to the hint and my high school French ...

    The rhythm on that piece seems unusual (to my ears) - what would you call that?
  8. Quasimado
    Any details?
  9. Quasimado
    Many thanks - powerful music - missed it first time round ....

    #4 Brookmeyer is there in the mix (with Mulligan) ... can't quite get the tune ...

    At the local level many Shinto shrines incorporate elements of Gagaku into their traditional ceremonies, festival dances and processions, so I have heard these … accompanied by a little sake . Court Gagaku (similar to your selection (?)) is rather rarified and performed in Shinto ceremonies related to the Imperial Family. There are orchestras in the big cities that occasionally give public performances. Some of the larger Buddhist temples also have Gagaku groups which accompany Sutra chanting on special occasions. I’m in the countryside – you’ve wetted my appetite …

    #5 Gagaku - traditional Japanese court music ... who is difficult ...

    It's Earl Coleman in the same condition. Sonny Rollins on tenor - great solo - Kenny Drew on piano.

    Fine session: swinging arrangements, some great Schildkraut!

    Enjoyed the Kenny - very relaxed interview from 1969 - will gradually work through the rest of the archives. Listening to some of the KJAZ interviews made in the 70's from musicians who were active in the 50's and earlier gives real insight into the uncomfortable changes they had to face to survive ... Great resources - many thanks

    A lot of fun - many thanks

    #13 is a strange one - something about the arrangement reminded me of the Clef 'Free Forms' (1951) with Lee Konitz - but the piano on this track seemed too strong ...

    Heard from family that Murray Wall, bass player who ran the Monday Night Session at the NYC 11th Street Bar for many years, passed away on 7/18 after a short illness. He was 76. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, Murray came to NY in the late 70’s, and played with a great number of well-known musicians, including John Hendricks, Benny Goodman, Frank Wess, Eddie Locke, Anita O’Day, Lou Donaldson, Barry Harris, Ted Brown etc. Fine player, great guy. R.I.P

    11# Last gasp ... that alto is post 50's ... Stan Kenton.

    I personally have no problem with his approach. He likes what he likes and does his (subjective) homework. He dislikes what he dislikes and does his (subjective) homework. What's to dislike? If you dislike where he ends, do the same. Nobody suffers - and we can all benefit (but opinions may not change). ... That's life.

    #11: Opening reminds me of Mancini - then again maybe it's Oliver Nelson ...

    #12. OK, how’s this? Art Farmer (flh,tp), Harry Sokal (ts), Fritz Pauer (p), Heiri Känzig (b), Joris Dudli (ds), rec. Vienna, 1981. Disc title is "Foolish Memories", which I misread as "Polish Memories" (no unwoke jokes please). Art almost becomes frenzied towards the end of his solo, something I've never heard before ...

    #12. How about Art Farmer playing Mal Waldron's Dee's Dilemma' with a Polish group?
