[Abdu Salim - Texas sax player!]

I saw him play in Madrid, at the Café Populart, I think, in a trio with bass and drums (Carlos "Sir Charles" González must have been the drummer).  It was in the early 90's. I was just starting to listen to jazz and he absolutely blew my mind ! I remember him as very influenced by Coltrane, and with a deep, spiritual touch. And those hands !

"The Lady Is A Trans", Cuong Vu & Mickey Finn.

Hola Fer,

the take of "The day john brown..." on the McKusick's "the Jazz workshop" (RCA/BMG spanish version) is 7:51 long.

on "The Rca victor jazz workshop: the arrangers" is 7:14 long.

so it's seems that they are two different takes, but I don't know if those are the two of the Lonehill release.

I hope it helps,

Cheers,

Diego

Nice blindfold test.

[Nefertiti, The Beautiful One Has Come]

# 6 on first record is an alt. take of Call and # 6 on disc II is "untitled sample".

I've just checked on this CT discography: http://www.shef.ac.uk/misc/rec/ps/efi/mtaylors.html

A wonderful disc indeed!

Cheers,

[Funny Rat]

Go for "The Moonwalker", a wonderful solo date by Carlo Actis Dato, a hell of a sax player and a really nice guy.

Cheers,

[Jazz Magazine: looking for old issues]

Hi Agustín,

I only have # 457 (I'm too young to have the others ). You can join me by e-mail and we'll see how we can "arrange ourselves"

and if you give time I can translate the thing for you.

Cheers,

Diego
