A rather hefty price tag ... but as a big admirer of Tadd's music, I'll have to get hold of this, eventually!

Didn't it turn on Dec. 21st?

the Ming: Mingus Plays Piano Money Jungle Mingus Presents Mingus Mingus Ah Um Black Saint and the Sinner Lady the Monk: Solo Piano (Vogue 1954) The Thelonious Monk Trio (Prestige) Monk's Dream or Monk in Action or Live at Carnegie Hall 1957 or ... Brilliant Corners The Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall

Any chance you can share some of that?

Congrats, Jim!

Merry x-mas and only the best to you and your beloved ones! Eat much, drink more, and have some good (thanks again, Jim!)

(you can get up to 82 minutes onto a CD ... but there's a note in the booklet of the Columbia/Legacy CD edition of "The Birth of the Third Stream" - which clocks in I think at 76 or 77 minutes - that they've exhausted the medium's capacity to the last ... not sure about redbook standard and 80 minutes always having been the same thus, sorry)

Oh hellyeah, I hear you Allen! That performance was a major ear-opener for me, too, at about the same age. I remember buying that cheapo Mingus Compilation (this one) and that "Stormy Weather" really struck something within me. I must have bought my CD copy of "Mingus Presents Mingus" around the same time, but none of the tunes had that very same impact as "Stormy Weather" and it's to this day a favorite in all of music! Oh yes, please do! There are several places to check here: Though none got too far ... there must be more hidden in other ZA jazz threads ... anyway, all his Steeplechase albums are recommmended! And anything you can get by the Blue Notes, too!

And there's a thing for Randy - his father Arno with Woody's band (from the JazzWax interview): http://marcmyers.typepad.com/.a/6a00e008dca1f088340153931d0126970b-popup and another one: http://marcmyers.typepad.com/.a/6a00e008dca1f088340153931d1483970b-popup

Sad news - enjoyed his playing in those few spots he turns up in my collection ... first took notice of him with Mingus on Impulse - he's got some fine moments there! This one's well worth getting, too:

Very good pre-order price on amazon.es for the upcoming box, just in case anyone's interested: Van Cliburn - Complete Album Collection - EUR 29,28 (pre-order, amazon.es)

(I hope you guys all noticed that I was being ironic and *kinda* quoting Linda S. above, right?)

Found a pair worthy of reporting here - both in a shape that makes listening a pleasure, and both covers are pretty good, too (the BN has seem splits a few centimeters in from the opening, but that's it, the Atlantic has one that's actually more like a dent, on top, a centimeter long or so): Very happy about these two! And I got a very kind price, too (about 25$ for both). There'd have been Eddie Harris' "Live at Newport", but it sounded rough and looked pretty battered already - too bad!

Oh yes, Getz! Wonderful music, how could I forget about that in my little "best of early Brookmeyer" listing?! "Fall 1960" is a terrific album!

But then you must be aware there's much more to Brookmeyer than his stint with Jones/Lewis, right? Just some high points in his career include: - his early albums as a leader, crowned by "Traditionalism Revisited" - his sideman work with the Jimmy Giuffre 3 - his sideman work with Gerry Mulligan's quartet and sextet - his part in the success (musically speaking) of Mulligan's great Concert Jazz Band And of course he was with Thad/Mel long before Thad left and was - in my opinion - a fine contributor at that stage, already!

some previous flute discussions that might be of interest: happy reading

Having Lloyd right next to Trane in that list ... ouch! But then what's right is wrong and what's wrong ... though I tend to take Lloyd for drug-hazed pop-spirituality, at least back when ... quite like his later stuff on ECM, at least what I heard. The duo album with Billy Higgins doesn't have too many fans, I think, but it might fit with what you're looking for.

Not sure either, but I think it must have something to do with birth dates usually ocurring before dates of death (well, at least in one person's biography - it can get more complicated than that if you look at crowds). Now what does that tell us about the screaming? Is it okay to scream when giving birth? When being born? When dying? oh oh, and what's a manly man? a mangy man?

They should launch a band with Grace Kelly as musical director.

Is this a reference to the box, the 'now where did I leave my monocle look' on Klempy's face or the dire quality of my photoshopping skills? Sorry for the late reply ... it was a refence to all of that and then some But back on topic: I'm making some classical x-mas gifts this year ... mom will get Schubert. The "Winterreise" by Christine Schaefer and "Die schöne Müllering" by Fritz Wunderlich (in my humble opinion she urgently needs that as an upgrade to the Fischer-Dieskau recording she has - it's really worlds apart). And mère ubu's mother will get some Gould doing Bach - I gather that's not a popular notion around here, but what do I care, I love it. Oh, did I misunderstand the topic here? Not the thread title though

Hey, Shank is very much alright with me as a musician ... don't care about the other bull. His Pacific Jazz quartet (with Williamson, then Billy Bean) and later quintet or sextet albums (with Bob Cooper, Carmell Jones) are mighty fine! Not so sure about the Shank/Cooper flute/oboe stuff, but I do enjoy it mostly, just not as much as the alto Shank. As for his Latin stuff, I've never felt a need to explore that beyond his collaborations with Laurindo Almeida (whom I enjoy, also with Getz, I think the Getz/Almeida album is one of the finest of Getz' bossa efforts).

Still haven't heard the BYG duos with Cherry, darn! But I fully endorse the recommendations for the two Enjas and for "Red and Black"!

Not a VDMK fan either ... but I enjoy him quite some on clarinet, and his duo concert with Paal Nilssen Love this year was great ... I picked up this recent album on recommendation of a fan I met at that concert and it's very good:

But, but, you forget that Bud Shank was the first jazz flautist and the first to integrate bossa and jazz - and most surely the one with the largest Porsche collection, too
