A Sesac with Chico and Dolphy? Very cool--sadly, that wasn't in group I found.

Ted Brown -All about Ronnie - Savoy.

Nice one Adrian.

Lighthouse All Stars Vol 3. OJC.

[Head Man]

Bought this album on spec, and it turned out to be way hipper than I expected. Kenyatta, Wolfgang Dauner, Arild Andersen, Fred Braceful (from his Wiki entry, sounds like an interesting figure, but this is the first time I have encountered him on record I think). Recorded 1970. ECM 1008.

Strange that this has never had a CD release. Anyone know why?

Ted Brown -All about Ronnie - Savoy.

Nice. Been trying to score a clean US Savoy pressing of this for years.

'fraid not. There seems little rhyme nor reason why a bunch of the earlier ECMs have never made it. Guess we'll have to await Mr Eicher's reply....the vinyls sound very good, mind.

It is indeed a fine session

Never even heard of that one. Good to know there's more Ted Brown around.

apologies as this is lead by Ronnie Ball not Ted Brown. Both of them get a very fine showing of course. My copy is US Savoy - original ( I think ) in very nice condition which I purchased a few months ago.

You probably outbid me

[Clunky]

Not me, I got mine from Alan at jazzhouserecords

[clifford_thornton]

Aha! Had a few things that were "frisbees" from him and stopped following the lists.

[vinyltim]

[jeffcrom]

Gerald Wilson - On Stage (Pacific Jazz mono)

[jeffcrom]

Claude Thornhill - Dinner for Two (RCA Camden). 1949-50 recordings. Not much jazz here, but there are a couple of good clarinet spots by (I think) Hal McKusick.

[Clunky]

Harold Mabern - Joy Spring - Sackville, recorded 1985 by our own Ted O'Reilly, I'm not a huge fan of Mabern or solo piano for that matter but this is a nice set of tunes played with played with plenty of soul.

[Clunky]

A mid 60s Czech LP , picked up yesterday in Oxfam, S+H Quintet -Jak Hral Supraphon DV 10200, mixture of styles from this aggregation , varying instrumentations from quintet to nonet all largely hardbop flavoured but with elements of freedom. It's got a mixture of standards and originals. Glad I picked this up.

[JohnS]

Pepper and Knepper. Metrojazz (Japan)

Maybe you all can help with this mystery:

Prestige 7318 blue label--PRLP 7318 (AorB respectively) and Van Gelder in wax on both sides....but....side B is a different record! It's instrumental blues--a jump blues/jazz guitarist and tenor player along with a trombone and bass/drums.

I guess it's a weird pressing error. Thoughts?

Richard Williams: New Horn in Town (Candid/Barnaby)

I remember reading something that Nat Hentoff wrote to the effect that he had probably recorded Richard Williams as a leader before he (Williams) was ready. Perhaps that's true, but there was never another, so it's good that Mr. Hentoff did record him.

[JohnS]

Always thought that this was a rather odd cover picture.

Another thought, both this and Pepper and Knepper have unexpected organ playing. An organ in the studio perhaps or a producers quirk.

My copy of Ervin's Song Book is ok. The first thing that sprang to mind is that somehow Tiny Grimes' Callin' the Blues got pressed on the other side of yours.

Nice album though, John.
