Yes, the covers are all there by now ... except for the Gaslini.

yadda yadda yadda nothing to see here - move on!

I don't really know much late Sarah ... but I love "Crazy and Mixed Up"!

Are they worth hearing? http://www.jazz.fm/index.php/news-a-events-mainmenu/8559-concord-to-re-release-sarah-vaughn-ellington-records-

Just because you reject even the notion that anyone might get an ounce of pleasure out of their music, I don't think you ought to flat out deny the mere possibility.

more into transmogrification myself ...

Sorry, missed checking in here ... of the couple of dozen or more NDR JWS recordings I've heard, most run from anywhere between 80 and 150, so the Surman is on the short side, methinks?

With Chuck here ... at least the ones I've got (including the Ellington with original cover) won't be replaced. The only one I don't have is "Skol".

Me too - but I'd still encourage to look for older musician threads and revive those instead of opening new ones. The cover threads don't really bother me, nor do aloc's - sometimes I look at them, oftentimes I don't.

Well, there are occasionally some interesting threads popping up in misc music (as with misc non music). But frankly, the whole political discussion of the past several months to me seems like one on-going thread split up into various pretense-topics ... I rarely ever go there anymore, same old same old every day.

Searches on google work perfecly well - put in "Lee Morgan site:organissimo.org" and you'll quickly get what there is.

(furthermore, what's the point of starting another thread on Lee Morgan when there are seventeen ones, easily found with a quick search? the fount of info gets divided into many small rivulets ... I've said so often enough to step on the toes of a few, I guess, but I keep sayin' it)

Happy Birthday!

damn! here's an article, but no confirmation either: http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/news-mainmenu-139/70-2013/12804-jazz-breaking-news-keyboard-legend-george-duke-dies-aged-67 Also this one, seems to be the source of it all: http://www.radiofacts.com/veteran-musician-george-duke-dies/

Make that bluewin - as I said above ... you'll never get a reply writing to anyone @bluwin.ch, doesn't exist.

want to send me yours so I can judge myself?

The Pepper Adams in Albany hurts ... I guess this is from the stash of tapes of the guy who organized a series of concerts there and is sharing some of his tapes (usually recorded with mics up on stage) over on dime. This is your old bootlegging, no PD, no "grey", just plain bootleg. Not sure where they got the Webster and Farmer from, if they were on dime I missed them, but hey, you can't take it with you... As for Wes Montgomery, as so often the info is botched - recording dates are way off and the bass players, too: #5-7: 1965-09-24 (Paul Chambers) #1-3: 1965-11-05 (Ron Carter) #4,8,9: 1965-11-12 (Larry Ridley) #10/11: 1965-11-19 (Herman Wright) Bootleggers usually do the "hit & run" business, missing out additional details provided by knowledgeable folks in the comments over on dime. This sucks bigtime. There's an even more botched George Russell set which RLR took form a set compiled by yours truly. Nice enough that I got a "donation" later on: a much better-sounding, longer version with full line-up (my educated guesses were off ... we do our best, don't we?). Anyway, the boot was out before, so there!

Django - yes, good catch! Also: Ida Lupino

one I tried to remember last night, but it was nearly 6 a.m. when I went to sleep ... Kathleen Ferrier: one of the most haunting pieces of music I've ever heard (first encountered it in one of Terence Davies' masterly movies)

one more (last one for tonight): "Deep in a Dream"

speaking of ghosts: (I Don't Stand a) Ghost of Chance (with You), too! Pres!

First thing to come to mind are fragments of Mozart ... stuff from operas, piano concertos ... also Beethoven (violin sonatas: the Kreutzer and No. 10/Op. 96). Hoagy Carmichael as well! Also some of Monk's tunes will definitely make my cut ... "Reflections" comes to mind first, but there are others, "Ruby My Dear", "Crepuscule with Nellie", and of course "Round Midnight". Bud Powell, "Glass Enclosure" Clifford Brown's "Joy Spring" virtually all Tadd Dameron tunes And Strayhorn, too - "UMMG", "Lush Life", Johnny Hodges doing "Blood Count" ... As for standards, some great ones have been mentioned ... allow me to throw in "Stormy Weather". And some Gershwin: "Bidin' My Time", "Nice Work If You Can Get It", "Embraceable You", "How Long Has This Been Going On"... Cole Porter's "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", "Begin the Beguine" ... Raye/DePaul's "You Don't Know What Love is" Victor Young's "Delilah" though with standards looking at just the melody is somewhat missing the point because the genius of the best of them lies in how they melt together melody and words and in how they get to be more than the sum of their parts Did Mozart compose People in Sorrow? Or was that Monteverdi?

Sorry about all the hardship you've been going through, Lon - wish you all the best though, and a great time on your upcoming trip down south!

surely they must be ...
