I owned that Pacific Jazz sampler back in the day. Long gone.

memories... most of these names you don't read too often... Pospiech was conducting the university big band where I studied (Bonn) so his name was often on posters around campus, Bartelt was my saxophone teacher in those years... and, of course, I remember Oliver Leicht concerts and so on...

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "At the Cafe Bohemia, Vol. 1" Blue Note Japan 24Bit by RVG cd.

This is the stuff. A friend of mine calls this "the band of leaders."

Just heard the first track of the album and with Jeff Hamilton on drums and John Goldsby on bass they're really movin'.

Oh yes, the Road Shows are great.

Especially the quartet Rollins, Mark Soskin, Jerome Harris, Al Foster brings some great memories back. I saw that formation in 1979. Unforgettable !

Eddie Bert sessions

The Gardens of Harlem by Clifford Thornton and the Jazz Composer's Orchestra (JCPO, 1975).

I'd previously avoided this one because I assumed it would be the dreaded early 70s free jazz mass blowfest, but I'm pleased at how wrong I was. Really good tunes on this one and some nice soloing. It could perhaps have done with another rehearsal or two, but it's good as is.

I wonder if Mr. Metheny plans on doing any more work with the Orchestrion.  I'm so glad I got the opportunity to see him perform live with it not once but twice.  Those were both fascinating musical events for me.

Any sign today of masked Boris in the RAF helicopter flying around and inspecting your neck of the woods, Bill?

I woke up exhausted with a headache.  The day is looking up now.

Heard (unusually these days) an aircraft this morning, but missed my chance of pushing the passenger in the river.
