uhm, Chuck, how is it going with the Townhall Gillespie Quintet release? You mentioned it would still take about half a year in July. Does that schedule still stand?

Larry wants one too! But they keep turning him down and he feels like he's running in circles...

re: the completeness of these sessions: I don't know; Michael, do you? grab the ASiP disks ASAP Ubu!

zweitauseneins.de has some of these and others at low prices (MORTON' FOOT 14,99 EUR, BLUE CAMEL 7,99 EUR, TARAB 7,99 EUR, BETWEEN DUSK AND DAWN 7.99 EUR). I would offer to order them for you and send them on in trade of other disks, but I am afraid my wife would not be very happy after I already placed two substantial orders there the past couple of weeks. Maybe another boardmember is willing to help you out.

for the heck of it, here's the complete listing of the Clarke disk: 1957.09.23. Maurice Vandair, p; Bernard Hullin, Ack Van Rooyen, tp; Hubert Fol, as; Lucky Thompson, ts; Pierre Gossez, ts; Armand Migiani, bs; Nat Peck, Bill Byers, tb; Pierre Michelot, b, arr; Kenny Clarke, ds; 1 Fantasy for blues ( P. Michelot ) 2 Love me or leave me ( G. Kahn-W. Donaldson ) 3 Fun for four ( P. Michelot ) 4 Jackie my little cat ( P. Michelot ) 1957.10.10. Maurice Vandair, p; Ack Van Rooyen, as; Hubert Fol, as; Jean Aldegon, as; Pierre Gossez, ts; Armand Migiani, bs; Nat Peck, tb; Pierre Michelot, b; Kenny Clarke, ds; Christian Chevalier, arr, dir; 5 Black knight ( C. Chevallier ) 1957.09.26. Martial Solal, p; Lucky Thompson, ts; Pierre Michelot, b, arr; Kenny Clarke, ds; 6 Stompin' at the Savoy ( E. Sampson ) 7 Now's the time ( Ch. Parker ) 8 Four ( M. Davis ) 9 The squirrel ( T. Dameron ) 1957.06.24. Raymond Fol, p; Jean Liesse, tp; Hubert Fol, as; Jean Aldegon, as; Armand Migiani, bs; Tony Scott, ts, cl; Nat Peck, tb; Pierre Michelot, b; Christian Chevallier, arr, dir; Kenny Clarke, ds; 10 Jean-Paul ( C. Chevallier ) 1958.03.11. Maurice Vandair, p; Roger Guérin, tp; "Mickey" Nicholas, as; Georges Grenu, ts; Pierre Gossez, as; Armand Migiani, bs; Benny Vasseur, tb; Pierre Michelot, b; Christian Chevallier, arr, dir; Kenny Clarke, ds; 11 Gold fish ( C. Chevallier ) 12 Dream time ( C. Chevallier ) 1950.03.03. Raymond Fol, p; Hubert Fol, as, arr, dir; Pierre Michelot, b; Kenny Clarke, ds; 13 This Fol-ish thing ( H. Fol ) 14 These foolish strings ( P. Michelot ) 15 These foolish things ( Marvell-Strachey-Link ) 16 Out of nowhere ( Heyman-Green )

I wanted to add to Clunky's discographical info that these Americans Swinging in Paris disks are yet readily available at least over here in Europe; it seems they're running low in the US though (but I wouldn't really know where to check). The Clarke is finished off with a couple of 4 4tet tracks featuring the Fol brothers and Michelot and 3 tracks with a large group of french players (so no Lucky T on these). The Lucky Thompson disk has following tracks (sorry, no info on the original releases here, I'd have to check with the disk in hand) 1956.02.22. Eli "Lucky" Thompson, ts, arr; Henri Renaud, p (out on 1); Emmett Berry, tp; Benoît Quersin, b; Gérard "Dave" Pochonet, ds; 1 Thin ice (E. Thompson) 2 A minor delight (E. Thompson) 3 Takin' care 'n business (E. Thompson-E. Berry) 4 Ballad Medley: Sophisticated Lady-These foolish things (Ellington-Mills-Parrish/Link-Strachey-Maschwitz) 5 One cool night (E. Thompson-E. Berry) 1956.03.27. Eli "Lucky" Thompson, ts; Jean Pierre Sasson, g; Paul Rovière, b; Gérard "Dave" Pochonet, ds; 6 You are my dream (J.P. Sasson) 7 Lucky strikes (J.P. Sasson) 8 My love supreme (J.P. Sasson) 1956.04.05. Eli "Lucky" Thompson, ts; Martial Solal, p; Guy Lafitte, ts; Benoît Quersin, b; Roger Paraboschi, ds; 9 Passin' time (E. Thompson) 10 Nothin' but the soul (E. Thompson) 11 Why weep? (E. Thompson) 12 To a mornin' sunrise (E. Thompson) 1956.04.20. Eli "Lucky" Thompson, ts; Martial Solal, p; Benoît Quersin, b; Roger Paraboschi, ds; 13 You move you lose (E. Thompson) 14 Velvet rain (E. Thompson) 15 One last goodbye (E. Thompson) 1956.02.22. Eli "Lucky" Thompson, ts, arr; Benoît Quersin, b; Gérard "Dave" Pochonet, ds; 16 Thin ice (E. Thompson) 17 Takin' care 'n business (E. Thompson-E. Berry) 18 One cool night (E. Thompson-E. Berry)

in reverend anticipation...

Volume 4 is rather erratic, but there's some real good stuff on there. Notably the De Villers tracks are great.

and while you're at it: American Swinging in Paris: The Kenny Clarke & Lucky Thompson volumes.

Sammy Price and Lucky Thompson: Paris Blues Lucky Thompson With Dave Pochonet All Stars Lucky Thompson: Modern Jazz Group grab these while you can!

my collegue once played in a band named Fuck The Punk & The Masturbators

the first option in the list you get if you do a search on "Jackie Roy" on AMG ...

I'd say..... yes...

So when's Quartet Out gonna do that Chili Beans commercial that pays them so handsomely that they can invest in a tour of Europe and then come out REAL big?

I am! but it hurts

yeah, just was there. cool hairdo!

I was thinking that probably you are allowed to give away disks with copyrighted material. You can then decide to "give" a disk away as a token of thanks to anyone who makes a donation. So you won't be selling themand you won't be making a profit, because donations are not included in the books. I don't know anything about this really, and certainly not when it comes to american law. I believe there are some people on this board who are much better at it though.

this is not going to get you guys into trouble with publishers and copyright holders is it?

Montana?

Dan, you get the prize for most mysterious thread thus far.

yeah, and WHO, may I ask, is carrying it all into our healthy little corner??? WHO?! :rsmile:

Ubu, you mixed up EAST Wind and WEST Wind, the latter indeed has a more dubious character AFAIK
