Am I right in thinking the Tristano influence has really faded in the past few years? Apart from Mark Turner, I’m not that familiar with many musicians suggesting Tristano , Marsh or Konitz as an influence. Could be me being out of date. A few years back, there was a definite increase in interest but seems less now.

The session was included on the Mosaic box set of Bud Shank’s Pacific Jazz sessions. Never seen a copy of the original LP tho’ or the UK version.

Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, Stereo Records 1958 pressing. Sounds great.

Thank you both very much for solving that mystery for me. It looks like Ramon only made one album which I’ll have a look at. I also see that he’s on Rashied Ali’s live at Slugs 1967 which I have and will give another listen to. It appears from a posting from his daughter on YouTube that Ramon Morris died January 2017.

Recently bought Woody Shaw’s Love Dance. Sounds great. Really impressive reissue. In the sleeve notes, Woody refers to being inspired to feature the title tune having heard a version recorded by Ramon Morris, in a quintet version. Anyone know the LP? Anthony

Emergency Vol 1. Tony Williams Lifetime. The occasional vocals ( Tony I guess) are terrible but otherwise stunning music. Pre Bitches brew?

I dug this off the shelves after reading the comments and once I made it past the second track Downtown (where I had previously given up) it improves and is a minor gem. Beautiful. The Japanese CD sounds great.

Together Again with Howard McGhee on Contemporary is a classic. Great rhythm section too. One of my Desert Island Discs!

That’s funny re Frank Strozier. You have to love Phil’s enthusiasm. Used to love visiting NYC and listening to Bird Flight (in the pre internet days). No one presenting jazz radio in the UK has ever communicated that level of excitement and obsessiveness about jazz.

Interesting. Has whoever produced the Doubletime CDs ran off with the tapes?!

Thanks for posting the Mosaic notes acknowledging the sound issues with the 1961 live session. Returning to my original post on this thread, has the earlier 1959 live session (‘At the jazz corner of the world’, not ‘meet you….’) had any reissue since the 1994 CD twofer? If not, this seems odd, given most Blakey Blue Note material has had numerous reissues in various formats. It’s a great session too.

What live music are you going to see tonight?

Not live but part of the current London Jazz Festival, a double bill today at the Barbican: Big Ben, Ben Webster in Europe (1967) and Cecil Taylor a Paris (1968). -
Paul Auster, author of New York Trilogy, RIP

Wow! It was quite a place back in the Augie days. I see there is a Facebook group dedicated to this era. Good to see Augie and his Mum again in the photos. When I used to go, a young Eric Alexander was the regular sax player and used to come round with a hat for donations! No entry fee, I think. Possibly $10 minimum. -

Marta Sanchez, piano (Spanish), Luke Stewart, bass, Chris Beck, drums. Not the advertised drummer, Russell Carter. Chris was a powerhouse. Also Francesca Cinelli, vocals, David’s partner. French I believe. David made some disparaging comments about his current (big) record label! I thought David was on strong form. I complemented him on his lung power at the interval, he said ‘it takes a lot of work’! Yes indeed. -
