of Touching? Identical, but with a Debut logo instead of Fontana. Both Touching and Nefertiti (Cecil) came out in Denmark first and were released on Debut.

Thank you Pim! For me, more green vegetables and more walking.

Note: After the Second World War, state-of-the-art studios were set up in a former aerodynamics test hall at the Göttingen military airfield. Around 100 films were shot there between 1949 and 1961. This also offered Göttingen musicians like Gunter a good opportunity to be hired as extras.

👍- on my shelf!

Happy new year! 1 - Old school style on the tenor sax. Great tone and playing. Is it the Stitt/Gonsalves duo on Impulse? Was thinking someone like Hank Jones on keys so this kind of makes sense but it's a wild guess. 2 - Average White Band? It's not Pick Up the Pieces but damn, sounds a whole lot like it. If it's not them, then I'm guessing Eddie Harris. 3 - Jam session? The sax honks in the intro are entertaining. Off time and totally random sounding, like someone's fucking around and having fun. Bluesy as hell. Is Earl Bostic involved? 4 - No idea. The recording has the rhythm section a bit buried - there's drums back there somewhere but I can barely make them out. 5 - Coming up with no ideas here. The sax has some Webster-ish style, but I think this was recorded way later than Ben's day. tough one for me. 6 - Dipping way into the blues well again, and I'm loving the slow tempo. Roland Hanna? No idea on sax or elsewhere. At this point I'm realizing that whatever the obvious song is I'm going to miss the hell out of it. 7 - Oh, this must be it. Of course I can't name it but it's really familiar. At the risk of embarrassment, is it Johnny Griffin and Jaws? Whoever it is, it's my favorite track so far of this BFT. 8 - Here we go with some B3. Nice. Love the guitar as well. Well done by whoever's playing. Reverb is present. I can't tell who this is. Wild Bill on organ? 9 - All right, some clarinet. Art Pepper? Having a hard time making a judgement of when this was recorded. 10 - Going out with a bang here. Ronnie Laws maybe? Thanks for putting this together. Enjoyable listen.

Quick search, what does the Debut cover lool like?

The book is a very engaging and quick read. I haven't leafed through it in some time, but still have it on the shelf. a classic! Have the LP in the racks (mine's a Dutch Fontana, as pictured, though I probably couldn't turn down the Danish Debut if I ran into it).

Arrived. Handsomely assembled and an interesting array of recordings. I was a little taken aback that certain acetates and test pressings were included as "essential" but I guess the music in question has largely been issued in some form. It is cool to see the original Axiom LP, for example, even if it was made in an edition of.. 2. Wish I had not sold my copy of Heliopolis.

yes indeed, both are superb LPs. I had not run across live performances; have any materialized?

Miles was in an episode of Miami Vice

I do the download. Pickin' Up the Pieces by Average White Band was indeed a seventies radio hit that you and the late David Sanborn might unwittingly know. I think I can deduce then, that 1 and 7 are the same tune,

It's a quick read, actually. Again, Bley tells more by saying less...
