https://notat.io/download/file.php?id=3399 Facsimile of Monk's Mood. Chord symbols written in black, squeezed in afterwards, likely by someone else.

There is a scene from a Columbia recording session in the Straight No Chaser documentary where Rouse asks whether the chords he just makes up are correct. So obviously there were no chord symbols on the sheet. I must have some facsimile of a Monk sheet somewhere without chords. I will look for it. To me it makes sense. Monk wanted improvisation on the tune, not the chord changes, and he himself played just like that. If so, he wouldn't have needed to notate changes.

AFAIK Monk never wrote down changes. He wanted you to improvise on the tune, not the changes.

Revelation label sessions.

If the guys at Craft were hip, they'd reissue this, and on a twofer CD as well.

He could have been Phil Upchurch's successsor, if he hadn't tragically died so young ... an enormous talent.

I'm close to going that route, too, and for the Soulful Strings as well. I love their groove so much.

Ask me to edit the first post with the complete list, pm it to me. As a moderator I can do this.

Oh yes. How could I forget him?

R.I.P. He had some serious jazz chops. I recommend this album: https://www.discogs.com/release/7297593-Phil-Upchurch-Trio-Dolphin-Dance

Cropper's guitar sound was with me from the first years I started listening to muisc. A Booker T. & The M.G.s LP was among my first five LPs I ever bought. Here was a guy opting for a group sound rather than playing ego trips. That was a role model for me, even though I never played a guitar. R.I.P., and thanks for your great attitude.

I will consult my Stabilität dictionary when back home.

Fleischhammer told he had to put the stock of his former distributor on sellout when this partnership ended. Maybe the Gullin was among them. It is the retailer who decides to put an album in the sales bin. He has to be careful not to risk his savings for retirement. Sonorama is not his only source of income and he puts out what he likes and considers overlooked and worth hearing. He has good connections to some radio archive people. I will pass this on.

He told it is really unpredictable how sales develop. Some items printed in one thousand copies still are in stock after twenty years and he has no idea if they ever will sell. Others sold so fast he had them re-pressed immediately. He has to be careful with investing and always looks for top quality original source material. Anybody looking for items marked as sold out on his website are encouraged to contact him directly. Chances are he still has a handful of copies in stock.

He simply loved Schapowalow's photo for its symbolic meaning. So much for cover art esthetics. No. He does not see a potential buying audience for any of those you mentioned. This is really obscure. He confessed it is the first time he ever heard of that musician, group, and the magazine.

No questions?

Author Sue Miller plays flute and has her own charanga in Britain. She concentrates on that style, much about Eddie Plamieri, Rolando Lozano and the like.

As it turned out I will meet Ekkehart Fleischhammer of Sonorama Records in Berlin this upcoming Saturday. A mutual friend there recently made his acquaintance. Any questions that I might ask him? http://sonorama.de/
