  1. Bebop Spoken Here From KBCS. Just how does Bernie Goldberg manage to pick great records from this era that I've never heard before? 'Cos I've heard a lot!
  2. Cosey Fanny Tutti (British performance artist) Genesis P-Orridge (her partner) Dick Oatts (alto)
  3. Panama Francis Francis of Assisi Bob Florence
  4. A fine album - which I used to own. It was in terrible condition, having been bought as a cheap used copy, so I replaced it with the CD, which is far from satisfactory, as it pairs these New York big band tracks with West Coast alto and tenor groups under the nominal direction of Quincy Jones. The two make an ill-matched album. Do you mean QJ's GO WEST? I've got both, and I agree: great music. Yes, looking at the liner notes to my Impulse CD, I read that tracks 7-12 were originally issued as part of Go West, Man. All good music - the This Is How I Feel tracks exemplary - but not suited to being issued as one single CD. Misleading, too, as the cover of of the CD merely reprints the front of the This Is How I Feel LP, which I remember was on Canadian Sackville in my case.

  9. Well, we all have our national weaknesses! It was said that, during the general strike that was part of "les evenements" of May 1968 in France, gas and electricity were never turned off at the same time, as withdrawal of the right to cook would have caused full-blown revolution!

  14. That sounds a bit radical ! Don't worry I cut myself chopping the bacon for Carbonara. Nice dish carbonara - we make it at home - though we can't get the proper bacon here. Yep, you should use Guanciale (gwahn-TCHAH-leh), the meat from the cheek of a pig, (from guancia, meaning cheek) rubbed lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper or chili pepper, then cured for three months. Grazie!

  16. Whether or not you like Brubeck's piano playing (and I don't), there should be plenty of interest in the Night Lights show, which deals with Brubeck's role in the State Department tours, an event in history that I want to know more about.
  17. With the thinning out of jazz on the BBC - demise of Humph, etc - Jazz Library is proving one of the best of the surviving shows. It's the nearest thing we have over here at the moment to Ghost of Miles's Night Lights on WFIU, which is how I like jazz programs to be.
  18. The story of our lives
  19. A Humphrey Lyttelton retrospective on Jazz Line-Up from BBC Radio 3. Now playing: Buck Clayton with Humph's band.
  20. OK, you win - I've got to ask. Is that real? MG As real as The Rusty Bed by I. P. Knightley. EDIT: Apologies! Just found Einstein for Dummies on Amazon!
  21. John Graas Nonet, "Will Success Spoil Rock n' Roll?"
  22. Just arrived: John Graas Nonet, Jazzmantics (Lonehill) Was enjoying Coup de Graas so much recently, thought I must get the Lonehill which combines this with another album to produce 77 mins of playing time. The Andorrans do have their compensations!
  23. British "trad" clarinettist Acker Bilk liked to announce the next number as "Temptation in A Flat".
  24. Re Al's profile there was "Nose Cone".
  25. i have the explanation of this title, but infortunately only in french : Dans la session de 1954, un petit joyau : "Marcel The Furrier " avec un magnifique solo d'Al Cohn, précédé de celui de Tal Farlow qui est excellent. Ce titre a été écrit en hommage à Marcel Fleiss, un photographe français passionné de jazz. Un autre titre (" Burt's Pad ") est dédié à un autre photographe (Burt Goldblatt). this title was written for a french photograph named marcel Fleiss ( maybe fleiss means "furrier" in deutch ? ) an other title, " burt's Pad" is dedicated to a photograph: burt goldblatt. sorry for my english. Merci de votre explication, Gaston.
