Is that the one on 20th near Irving? Yup.

I live right near a dusty old record store called The Jazz Quarter in the Sunset district of SF, and its eccentric one person staff named Tom has been a challenging influence for my dive into the history of Jazz. Through him, I've been hipped to events like Larry Vuckovich at the Piedmont Piano Store and the Dogpatch Saloon. He's the type of guy that doesn't say hello or involve himself in any sort of stop-and-chat, but every time I enter the store, he plays obscure records specifically based on my taste from what he remembers me buying the last time I came in. When pushed, he gives me a thorough lecture filled with personal stories. I love that place.

Just finished up the great Makanda Looking Ahead session on disc 2 [Ken McIntyre (as, fl) Eric Dolphy (as, bcl, fl) Walter Bishop Jr. (p) Sam Jones (b) Art Taylor (d)]. Now sinking my teeth into Dolphy's Out There on disc 3 Done with the Latin Jazz Quintet with Dolphy [Eric Dolphy (as, bcl, fl) Carlie Simons (vib) Gene Casey (p) Bill Ellington (b) Manny Ramos (d, tim) Juan Amalbert (cga) ] -- eh Onto disc 4 with Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis Big Band's Trane Whistle session!!

"Five Spot Cafe", NYC, July 16, 1961 then finishing out the box set with the Eric Dolphy in Europe sessions from Copenhagen.

RIP. I saw her this summer, and her performance was moving. It's a sad loss.

I didn't know the Latin Jazz Quintet made an album with Dolphy. Can't say I'm keen on him, but I might be interested in getting this separately, as I like the LJQ a lot. What's the original title and issue of this one, please?

Well... But thanks very much Zed. MG I noticed that there is another session of the Latin Jazz Quintet with Eric Dolphy that isn't included in the Dolphy Prestige box: Latin Jazz Quintet With Eric Dolphy Eric Dolphy (as, bcl, fl) Felipe Diaz (vib) Arthur Jenkins (p) Bobbie Rodriguez (b) Tommy Lopez (cga) Louis Ramirez (tim) NYC, 1960-1961 You're The Cutest One United Artists UAL 4071 Speak Low - I Got Rhythm - A Night In Tunisia - Cha Cha King - I Wish I Were In Love Again - Lover - Mangolina - April Rain - * The Latin Jazz Quintet (United Artists UAL 4071, UAS 5071; Latin Jazz & Dance Records PLP 145) perhaps it is less of a yawn. Interesting - same name, completely different band. But pretty well contemporaneous with the Prestige session. Phil Diaz had been on an earlier (8 July) LJQ session with Shirley Scott. And Art Jenkins was on the LJQ's December 1960 and May 1961 sessions, so it wasn't entirely a bunch of people who had nothing to do with the band... MG Yeah, strange... I guess it isn't the most original name.

Eric Dolphy--Complete Prestige Recordings Besides Dolphy, Jaki Byard and Freddie Hubbard on the first disc were a great combo I wasn't accustomed to. Now on bluesy disc 2 with the Oliver Nelson Sextet [Richard Williams (tp) Eric Dolphy (as, bcl, fl) Oliver Nelson (as, ts) Richard Wyands (p) George Duvivier (b) Roy Haynes (d)]

I think the Commodore sets were 2,500 of each vol.

and thEn we can all trash it! I know this is obnoxious, but it has been killing me thread after thread.

Great album. I spun it last night!

You forgot to include the altar of candles in front and your Alberta Hunter voodoo doll made out of locks of her hair, haha.

Opus 23J--whew!

I don't own the OOP #146 The Complete Decca Studio Recordings of Louis Armstrong and the All Stars (6 CDs or 8 Q-LPs). Nor have I seen its discography, so please forgive my ignorance. Could someone tell me what would the new set have that this didn't?

Just listened to Disc V Arista AL-4080 Creative Orchestra Music 1976. I've heard this one before, so no surprises. Pure joy. What all-star casts on each of these opi. Now on end of Disc V into Disc VI from Arista AL-5002 The Montreux/Berlin Concerts. Heard this before, too.
