Dutton Vocalion has released a swathe of Harriott related material (on CD & one LP) but unfortunately all that's left is the High Spirits/Movement twofer & The Don Carlos Orch https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=2CDSML8486 https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=CDNJT5324 Harriott - Movement/High Spirits (Quintet) Harriott & Amancio D'Silva - Hum Dono (CD & LP) One of the essential UK jazz releases Michael Garrick - Poetry & Jazz In Concert/Before Night-Day (Quintet), October Woman (Quintet), Black Marigolds (Septet), Promises (Sextet) Tony Kinsey Quintet - Jazz At The Flamingo Lita Roza with The Tony Kinsey Quartet - Listening In The After-Hours George Chisholm - Chis: The Art Of George Chisholm (octet) Melody Maker All Stars - Presenting Kenny Graham Don Carlos Orchestra - Crazy Latin

Free Form, Abstract, Hum Dono with early material on the double CD compilation Killer Joe plus Michael Garrick Quintet (October Woman) & Septet (Black Marigolds)

just found this wonderful rendition of "In A Sentimental Mood" by Joe Harriott with The Stan Tracey Big Brass (1969) - is this the same version from the Columbia LP "We Love You Madly"? - sounds like it. Apparantly this is the only known live footage of Joe. also, a few Harriott related clippings from newspapers https://galacticramble.blogspot.com/search/label/Joe Harriott

twas called "Rare Tracks" released in 1975 (UK) & here in Australia in 1980 - love the Jethro Tull single "Sunshine Day" mislabelled as Jethro Toe It's actually quite a good comp from the time https://www.discogs.com/release/1348392-Various-Rock-Legends-Rare-Tracks Picked up my Triple Echo set when one of our Brisbane FM radio stations 4ZZZ went digital & offloaded all of their vinyl (late 80's?) The Valentines are highly sought after by collectors here in Australia plus the group Fraternity (Flaming Galah) where Bon Scott was a flute playing hippy before he changed his image to a hard rocker https://www.discogs.com/release/4881588-Fraternity-Flaming-Galah Kevin Ayers voice is one of the defining features of the Soft Machine that I gravitate towards (have all of his solo material) - his french version of May I (Puis Je?) is superb To me The Softs are Wyatt/Ayers & Allen

both tracks were added on the 2009 UK reissue of the first LP this is my favourite softs period - Allen, Wyatt & Ayers +/- Ratledge/Hopper https://www.discogs.com/release/2378052-The-Soft-Machine-The-Soft-Machine

Love Makes Sweet Music / Feelin' Reelin' Squealin' - UK Polydor 7" https://www.discogs.com/release/445900-The-Soft-Machine-Love-Makes-Sweet-Music-Feelin-Reelin-Squeelin https://www.discogs.com/release/2033931-Soft-Machine-Faces-And-Places-Vol-7

merci

Agreed, I thought this was one of the most comprehensive single musician reference texts when I received my copy over 10 years ago but for me this has now been surpassed by the Rick Lopez Magnum Opus "The Sam Rivers Sessionography"

https://theafterword.co.uk/labyrinth-british-jazz-on-record-1960-75-by-richard-morton-jack/ https://www.elvinyl.com/listings/3939843-books-for-sale?fbclid=IwAR0uPv70f2J92wnHy02Vzz_ynCr04fG1JBPKiDmZy0SNLATxWNm4SQ-VSvw coincidently I just ordered I've also sent a message to Honest Jon's asking if they intend to carry Labyrinth

Even though it's less "Jazz Rock" I'm partial to the very early Softs (proto Gong) Daevid Allen/Kevin Ayers/Robert Wyatt +/- Ratledge & Hopper - much more anarchic & lyric laden - most reissues (primarily live concerts) appear to revolve around the early to mid 70s

many thanks, account created (easy as) & just spent 2 hours perusing plus taken screen shots of the book. Excellent analysis with the vast majority of this material now on CD/digital media Wonder if Cook & Morton used this as a primary reference source for their ratings especially the crowns/5 stars

Just saw this post - I can't believe it, first Tony Oxley & now Martin Davidson - I communicated with Martin over the years re UK jazz & his emanem (not the rap artist!!) releases. He even lived here in Australia for a few years in the 80s. You'll be missed so much!! RIP Martin

I'm shocked - too soon!!! RIP Tony just checked my iTunes library & I have him on over 33 hours of recordings (mostly vinyl/CD that I've transferred to iTunes), starting at Joseph Holbrooke & running up to Birdland 2011 with CT (hadn't picked up "Beaming" yet from 2019) such a superb musician

I'll definitely be opting for the CD version

thanks Mike - I actually used that discography - btw it hasn't been updated with the Monk Byas Rosencrantz Mosaic session

has the Giants of Jazz (Gillespie, Winding, Stitt, Monk, McKibbon, Blakey) Euro/UK tour of Oct-Nov '71 been mentioned? Only half of the material recorded in the UK concert (Victoria Theatre, London) for Atlantic (10 of 20 titles) has been released - does the unreleased material still exist or was it lost in the 2008 fire? There were also recordings in Milan (RAI Radio broadcast), Paris (both concerts were ORTF recorded broadcasts), Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Belgrade (JRT Radio broadcast), Rotterdam (NOS Radio broadcast), Berlin, Boblingen (Sudwestfunk broadcast), Copenhagen (Danish Broadcasting Corporation), Uppsala - much has been previously released on semi/non-legit labels plus the outlier is the earlier Australian (Melbourne, Sept 24) performance (ABC Radio broadcast) I'm sure these concerts were well attended but were the performers generally up to scratch - have read mixed reviews of these concerts

immediately conjured up an image of Noddy Holder 😂

There are almost 55 minutes (6 tracks) of Monk over two discs in the Byas Mosaic - Kirk (Kirt) plays on 5 of the 6 tracks. The final track (Sweet Georgia Brown - 9mins+)has Kirt as the only saxophonist with Monk as a trio with bass. There are also two further Autumn 44 tracks with Monk replaced by Teddy Brannon, both with Kirt, Don & Lucky (Body & Soul, Cherokee). His alto is quite audible & prominent that'll need to be updated since the release of the Byas Mosaic

The other error I've detected is track #5 on disc 7 Sometimes I'm Happy (15/7/45, WNEW Radio Broadcast, Sunday Afternoon Swing Club, NYC - Hathaway, Ann vo acc by DB with Froeba, Frank & His Boys) - it's listed as being on the recent Storyville CD "Timme's Treasures" - it's certainly not on my copy. Actually some of the information on that CD is incorrect & has been revised for the Mosaic set.

The Timme recordings (including the two Three Deuces live tracks) are indeed the "icing on the cake" in this set IMHO - the tracks are long (ranging from 5 to 18 mins) giving Don plenty of solo time. SQ is average to excellent but Don's tenor shines through - it's superb. 55 minutes of Monk over 6 long tracks My only minor issue is, as with the Chu Berry set, only selected tracks (in many cases) from a session are included - some (not all) of the incomplete sessions would have been better served if all of the tracks were included even though Byas was not prominent/soloing.

arrived earlier today - no chance to listen yet nice booklet - most of the images are new to me

now that one of my most wanted has come to fruition (Byas set) there's now only two left Wardell Gray (James Accardi would be of immense assistance here) Joe Harriott (very slim chance but here's always hoping)

mine was in memphis & now leaving Honolulu

reviving this absolutely fascinating almost twenty year old thread - I was following up on Julius Wechter & his Jazz West release then started looking more into the label (have most of the output) & finding the two Jane Fielding JW LPs and this dormant thread - time to kick it off again. I've had the Calliope/Stars of Jazz tracks for a few years but this material on Jazz West was new to me. The most recent post was almost 10 years ago & doesn't mention the Fresh Sound CD (was actually released in 2012) that contains both LPs & the two Stars of Jazz tracks. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/jane-fielding-albums/5751-embers-glow-jazz-trio-for-voice-piano-and-string-bass-2-lps-on-1-cd-bonus-tracks.html also check this Mark Myers article from 2015 - he made contact with Jane's daughter (Jane passed round 2000) https://www.allaboutjazz.com/news/who-was-jane-fielding/

Fresh Sound have just released a further PJJ Birdland session but this time with a different sextet, including Bill Barron. Unfortunately (for me) they've saddled it with a previously released Atlantic session (with the same lineup, recorded 10 months apart) "Philly Joe's Beat" (AFAIK It's only ever had Japanese CD releases). The Birdland session is short ie just over 28 mins. https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/philly-joe-jones-albums/57144-philly-joe-s-beat-a-1961-unreleased-performance-at-birdland-featuring-mike-downs-on-trumpet.html Thanks for the tip James Accardi - only found out today Total time: 65:31 min.
