The latest Bruyninckx CD I have doesn't allow copy and paste either! - the one before did. As I understand it he's afraid of others copying and selling the disco at his expenses, which is okay. Sometimes I think it would be much more convenient to have the discos online and pay an annual fee for using them, password protected etc. Updates would be easier, or you could pay only for what you download, or whatever. For me this would be the third step after printed books and CDROMs.

Thanks Mike for your comments, as usual an indispensable source of information ... I compared the photos to some of Columbia's studio on other LPs, it could well have been the same room. The distortion in the cello sound may well come from the amplification Pettiford used at the time, a similar problem to that with some guitar amps. It is heard on my issue as well, and on other recordings Pettiford made around that time.

If the Candid LP was to be included in the originally planned Max Roach Verve box set, did they have to license it or does Verve or whoever owns it right now have the rights to the Candid label? Or who DOES own Candid right now?

Tonight I had the pleasure to listen to master drummer Al Foster's quartet, with Eli Degibri on soprano and tenor saxes, Kevin Hayes on piano and Doug Weiss on bass. Hayes, Weiss and Foster are a helluva rhythm section. Did anybody hear them in the US? This is at least their third European tour, and their two CDs are on European labels as well: This CD has Dave Kikowski playing piano. Seems to me like another case of an American jazz master without a record contract ... Although it's Potter's CD, it's Al's band .....

It was favorably reviewed in the July/August issue of Jazz Times. Any other opinions, please?

Ted Curson recorded a nice LP with Bill Barron, Herb Bushler and Dick Berk for Fontana, if I remember correctly. I've always the Steve Lacy LP with Don Cherry. Of course the few tracks Coltrane did with Steve Davis and Elvin on the Atlantic Plays the Blues album.

For my taste, Jackson's strongest playing besides his own two sessions on the Connoisseur CD is on Baby Face Willette's Face to face, also a Connoisseur CD. Besides, Willette is a more original organist than Van Dyke. Or perhaps I prefer his more boppish approach ...

I'd love a (box set?) reissue of ALL the Music Inn material in one package! Of the stuff mentioned, these top my list: Don Ellis, Essence - Pacific Jazz Chico Hamilton Trios - Pacific Jazz the Horo twofers: the Sun Ra's are great! Other stuff not yet mentioned: Jon Hendricks - A Good Git Together w. Wes Montgomery, Pony Poindexter, the Adderley Brothers - World Pacific all of Clare Fischer's Pacific Jazz albums, first of all So Danco Samba the Johnny Rae United Artists album (have an LP, but a CD would be nice) Dorothy Ashby's Jazzland LP the last Prestige LP of the Latin Jazz Quintet with Bobby Capers the Arnett Cobb Okeh sides Ahmad Jamal's Chamber Music of the New Jazz (Argo, originally Parrott) Johnny Griffin's first LP (dtto., both in "legal tangles") Don Patterson, Funk You, Mellow Soul and the other Prestige LPs not yet on CD Buddy Montgomery's Impulse LP John Lewis' Columbia LP P.O.V. Luis Gasca's Blue Thumb LP For Those Who Chant Lloyd McNeil's first LPs for his own Asha label the Riverside Jazz Stars - A Jazz version of Kean w. Jimmy Heath, Julius Watkins etc.

Can you post some examples?

Ahmad Jamal is a name that shoulf be on this list as well. Again, I'd prefer if we avoid that superlative term giant - it is pretty subjective as well. I like the way Mike Fitzgerald put up his list and would say, lets's list masters that have reached their 6oth year of age. A master is a musician with an individual style and mastery of his instrument - period. I strongly Cedar Walton's inclusion in this list - saw him several times during the last ten years and he never disappointed and was a model in taste, responsibility for the band and music, and has written a large book of great tunes. Tonight I'm gonna see Al Foster - he'll qualify next year ....

Benny Golson Clark Terry Von Freeman Several member of the Chicago AACM scene Milford Graves Al McKibbon Lee Konitz I'd prefer to talk about living older masters, not giants. Master is a term applying to all mentioned.

I knew you'd be the first to post when I read your name in the viewers' list! Whatever pic you feel you have to post, here's the thread to do so. ... as long as it is related to Blue Note, of course, in any way.

They're just afraid to link to serious competitors of the bands they signed ...

Sorry, but I felt an irresistable urge to post this picture here .....

That's Laura Tequila Logan, not Lewis! Webster Lewis played organ and clavinet on the Tony Williams LP, which I like very much, by the way. If the unissued Young date on Columbia is like the Arista stuff, it's not much of a loss, I suppose .....

I remember I read about the Schildkraut back then, or his "comeback". Sure would like to hear this!

I have the French LP predecessor of the Drum Suite reissue, and it sounds great. Can't tell if it was Columbia's studio, although there are photos on the back. It sounds considerably better than the Orgy in Rhythm, was prepared much better by the engineers - Van Gelder opened and closed mikes often during the Orgy sessions, probably had to as the solo routine was spontaneous, or he had a bad day .... The Blakey Columbia material after the initial Jazz Messengers sessions with Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Doug Watkins and Blakey to me looks like Blakey tried tu fulfill contractual obligations after the Messengers had split in the middle of a Columbia contract. Silver was better off, as all the others went with him, he just needed a drummer and had his lone EPIC LP recorded in no time. Mike, what do you say?

No! There is one more track reputedly from the Five Spot sessions on a large Coleman Hawkins LP box set issued in Italy, but Cuscuna had his doubts about this or it would have been included.

It's one of her jazzier albums, if you like her later singing you will like it. I liked her voice better when it sounded young and innocent, like on the Warner Bros. LP with the late Benny Carter, if I hadn't sold my copy years ago I'd offer it to you ... sorry Dan

Just edited the list above. Thanks Chuck, just had found about the Adams and Monterose/Flanagan. Some nice stuff I missed from the vinyl era... There are still five numbers missing, anybody help? What's the connection between Uptown and Reservoir? Looks like Reservoir started after Uptown had stopped issuing temporarily .... I read the producers' names on the issues before and after and made some conclusions but don't wanna drop any names here ...

I tried an image search at AlltheWeb with Hard Bop, and the first image shown was Wynton Marsalis, which gave ME a headache .... ... or is this Branford?

... seems like this thread turned into a rehearsal spot for the Organissimo Tap Troupe ... ... first one to grow tired wins a weekend trip with Norah Jones ...

Use Opera to browse, and hit F12, demark animation of gifs activated and save your money ......

I'm afraid this won't help either, although it fits the state of mind pretty well ..........

The Flip, as it is the only Mobley session I've never heard, but honestly I'm just as curious about the Hill ....
