romualdo

the first spoken intro/breakdown by Mildred Bailey & the response from the band (disc IV, track 19 - see p 11 of booklet) is priceless. The following Bailey/Wilson duet is wonderful. The Clark Terry session (only 3 tracks) is one of my favs - sounds so much more "contemporary" than much of the older style jazz. SQ is exceptional - what a remarkable achievement (have compared to earlier CD releases of this material)

The Design label was launched in 1957 as a subsidiary of Pickwick Sales Corp. An article in Billboard (15 July 1957, p. 51) announced the entry of Design into the market with its first 24 releases. The next set of records was released at the end of Dec. 1957, according to Billboard (23 Dec. 1957, p. 17). The last release that year was catalog number DLP-56. https://www.discogs.com/release/2821523-Various-Modern-Jazz-Hall-Of-Fame-Volume-1 https://www.discogs.com/release/28057503-The-Jazz-Stars-Progressive-Jazz Various artists compilations originally released on Debut label

Fantastic set IMHO, highly recommended

my copy has reached Honolulu enroute to Australia What a difference Fedex has made in comparison to the previous absolutely disasterous shipper

my order on the Mosaic site is now "completed" but no shipping notice yet Tracking number is there though

That's the impression I got - no CD box set, only individual CDs https://www.soufflecontinurecords.com/artist/byard-lancaster

I like the idea Ken but as you mention, being a Byard fan I already have 10 of his OJC/Prestige/New Jazz CDs

impressive but will cost me close to Aus$340 (includes 70 euros shipping to Australia) - will go for the CDs

Stay safe Dan (Orlando) & Drew (Tampa) - have experienced many cyclones (hurricanes) & floods here in the mid-northern region of Australia (Brisbane) since the 60s

It does look like a new venture - hadn't noticed it previously but I could be wrong

An absolute treasure trove of material from 53-57 - looks like most of it has had official CD release in the past (Vanguard). Of most interest to me will be the Ted Brown session with Warne Marsh, hopefully (though unlikely) some previously unreleased tracks

Bought back some nice Tees (Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Coltrane) from the Jazz Music Centre in NYC on our trip to the states in 2016 Peter Brotzmann commented on my Hawkins Tee when I met him after his concert here in Brisbane a few years back Most worn t-shirts are my Ayler & Sun Ra's & most recent is the Vilnius Jazz Festival Tee brought back from Lithuania by my sister last year Queensland is t-shirt weather all year around

the final three in the series have not been released yet - website lists these as "coming soon", so once they're available I'd say they'll be shipped out to us

Rick Lopez has been working on an upcoming Sam Rivers doco https://fifthcolumnfilmworks.com/sam-rivers-sessionography

It's also currently available at Jazz Messengers (Spain) https://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/98478/john-zorn/masada-30th-anniversary-edition-10-cd-s?mot_tcid=e88200e0-2133-48b8-8f1f-4fbd9d5a9f34 Just found this on the Hoffman forum Yes, DMG is the only place to get it now. Unfortunately, Limited Run (who had been distirbuting this and the other limited Tzadik releases) went bankrupt, and apparenlty Tzadik is out $70,000. Word is that many who ordered through SEcond City also never received their box. This is the second time Tzadik has been burned by a distributor--they were part of the Pledge Music disaster in 2019.

Info from the most recent Dolphy group posting from Ted Brinkley A variety of ‘facts’ came across the wire this year. Much of it is not written down anywhere so I’m trying to compile and record it here. 80-something flutist Gene Coleman was interviewed on Zoom by Ras Moshe Burnett. He took lessons from Eric Dolphy as a young man. He began lessons while Eric was living on Oxford Street in Brooklyn. Eric dwelt on the top floor of the building. Charles Greenlee lived in the basement apartment. Musicians of renown would drop by—Coleman recalled bassist Doug Watkins, so this places it in the very early 1960s as Watkins died in a 1962 car accident. Eric studied flute with Harold Jones and told Gene that if he was serious about the flute he should also study with Jones. Eric had a cat named Mr. Susie—because it had been initially thought to be female, the gender signifier was added later after the truth had been determined. Gene spoke at length, a couple of hours, but that is all that I remember. Andrew Cyrille is on video giving a remembrance. It was shown at the June symposium at the New School. Cyrille recalls Mary Lou Williams taking him to see Dolphy at clubs in Brooklyn. She described his playing as ‘in the cracks’. Chris N, who organized the symposium, says Cecil Taylor shared a story of encountering Eric on the street and discussing the challenges of critical and audience acceptance, and struggles with morale. Cecil invited Eric to come to Cecil’s therapist’s office where there was a piano. The two played duets there on more than one occasion. Eugene Chadbourne, during his set at the symposium, said Dolphy had transcribed the theme to the television show Sea Hunt. Bobby Bradford, on a recent zoom call, recalled knowing Eric as early as 1951/2 when they were both devoted to the music of Charlie Parker. He recalled sessions in LA clubs playing tunes such as Little Willie Leaps. As I understand it, the never-released Chico Hamilton session of 1959 has turned up on a tape left by George Avakian. Only a half hour of music, an early recording for young Ron Carter, containing the likely first cover version of All Blues. Alternate takes have been found from the Sextet of Orchestra USA session led by Mike Zwerin. (As I probably mentioned before) the Newport ‘Rebels’ counter festival tape turned up which, in addition to the monumental 30 minute performance by Max Roach’s group doing Cliff Walk, contains a lengthy but incomplete rendition of Woody ‘N’ You by a group that includes Dolphy, Julian Priester, Mingus and Teddy Charles. And to cap it off, the Jazz Vespers music by Ed Summerlin played in June 1962 at Washington DC’s Church of the Affinity is on a tape in private hands. Tremendous music and tremendous band, Eric can be heard accompanying an A Cappella recitation of the Lord’s Prayer. Elsewhere in the service soloists including Dolphy are blowing against a men’s choir intoning Kyries in Latin, and/or along with the church organist. The event was televised on the Look Up And Live Sunday morning CBS show. If another memory returns I’ll share it. Last, breaking news: Jonathon Grasse has a biography of Dolphy about to come out on Jawbone Press: Jazz Revolutionary, The Life and Music of Eric Dolphy.

Not sure if this has been posted previously CT Unit with Lyons, Rivers & Cyrille

I've had an Australian pressing (similar to the UK ie through Vogue) of the first JWC (500) LP for quite a few years - I've never seen aussie pressings of any of the other LPs in the series though they may actually exist

IIRC some of the EP tracks were different takes of the LP versions

That's the exact same thing I was thinking once I found this & watched. The up close shots ie Haden's bass playing, are just wonderful. Thanks to William M, another Australian board frequenter for hipping me to this footage
