Festival du Jazz Moderne (Guilde du Jazz). An interesting hodgepodge of tracks, including a rare Steve Lacy appearance from 1956, "Indian Blanket" by the Joe Puma Quintet. I had been looking for this for awhile, since "Indian Blanket" was the only track from the first ten years of Lacy's recording career that I did not have in physical form.

This is the French version of a Jazztone album called Modern Jazz Festival, but that one must be extremely rare - I see Jazztone albums all the time, but have never come across that one, and I've been looking for many years. This French LP, which I recently found online, is in nice condition.

Okay, Festival du Jazz Moderne (see post above) might have another pretty rare track, this one with John Coltrane. "Strictly Instrumental" is credited to Oscar Pettiford's All-Stars, but it's apparently a leftover track from the Bethlehem Winner's Circle album. If it's ever been on CD, I can't find it. Does anyone know if it's had a CD issue?

Coltrane is not featured, but improvises the first bridge - a fairly complex and intense eight measures.

The Eagle Brass Band (GHB). A New Orleans-style brass band led by Barry Martyn, recorded in London in 1966. The personnel consists of half Brits and half touring New Orleanians. It's not the best N.O. brass band record I have, but it's notable for being the only full-length brass band album with Captain John Handy on alto sax.

Coincidentally, I just listened to "Winner's Circle" on Coltrane's "Bethlehem Years" CD.  Alas, it doesn't include "Strictly Instrumental".  However the track was a bonus on two Japanese CD issues: COCY 78660 (from 1995) and COCY-80698.

Lawrence Marable 4tet w/James Clay "tenorman" (jazz west/Toshiba, Japan mono). An older friend of mine has two(!!) original pressings of this album.  I didn't feel like paying him $700 for his VG+ spare so I bought this nice reissue for $25 instead!

George Otsuka 5 "Go on" (three blind mice, Japan). Great 1972 session.

Jackie McLean "live at Montmartre" (steeplechase, Denmark). A rare local record store find; $6 (that's like $3.75 usd now) for a NM laminated Danish original..gives me hope local stores aren't entirely pointless.
