Also, I'm kind of in the same boat as Brad was when he started this thread... does anyone have a listing of Master Jazz Recordings' releases? I've got the Mosaic, the Earl Hines solos (three discs "Plays Ellington" and one "Plays Porter" on Music & Arts), the Dash (found it yesterday), and thanks to the Budd Johnson (or was it the Little Jazz?) thread also Roy Eldridge's "The Nifty Cat", another recent acquisition. I see there's another one with Dash, Jay McShann's "Going to Kansas City". Then I see Jimmy Rushing's "Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You" w/Dash, Buddy Tate's "Texas Twister", and finally Earl Hines & Jimmy Rushing's "Blues and Things". What else did they release?

Spinning "A Portrait of Julian Dash" right now - and it's indeed wonderful! His sound is huge and warm and flat-out gorgeous. Shirley adds a whole other dimension - a musician I've yet to reckon with. I've heard him here and there, but never really listened too attentively. Here are a couple of nice finds: Head receptionist at Merrill Lynch?! Source: http://www.charlestonjazz.net/collections-about/ I can only seem to find this version of the cover: Mine has a different photo that is much larger, and colour is more like a brownish violet. Not sure which is the original, but mine looks much nicer. The photo on my LP is actually from the same shoot I guess as the one in the obit - same glasses, same tie... but he holds the tenor horizontally over his knee.

Wow! Marvellous! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvly0fel4cY Same JATP concert with Benny Carter added, I assume? Btw, if this is from the same night as "Jazz at the Philharmonic in London, 1969", it's seems to be doubtful that the date is correct. It is questioned in Teddy Doerings biography of Hawkins (german language), the LP is listed following "Supreme" (Enja, rec. Left Bank Jazz Socity 65-09-25) and preceeding "Sirius" (Pablo, rec. 66-12-20). Makes more sense, but then I really don't know...

'nother good'un!

One of today's rather many good finds! The groove is there right from the first beat - wonderful! Re: "Ekaya" - it's a wonderful album... guess the albums with that band may well be the best ones for those not too thrilled by Ibrahim himself.

Happened to find and buy that one - side one is spinning right now, and it's intense indeed! Thanks for this great recommendation! And I absolutely love the cover photo! Wow!

Just make sure to go over its speech beforehand, if you do... you never know what a Texan tree might come up with

Andrew Cleyndert?

"Jenkins / Jordan / Timmons" was the first album that came to mind... and Jaki Byard, too - though not specifically with any bass/drum-team (I love Booker too much to listen to those albums because of the rhythm section anyway). One rhythm team that has yet to let me down is Miller/Moholo - amazing, whererever they turn up! But again, I hardly buy an album because of them... This here's the original cover, I assume? Fine album!

Just make sure to have a drinking x-mas tree ready, you never know...

re: Jarman/Moye - the Lester Bowie set is only 3CD as well

Amazing! I was far from realizing that JSP was doing such a fine job on Django! Still, I love the extensively documented Frémeaux releases, so I don't question my choice to go that route... but props to JSP!

Yes - that's what I meant... was too lazy to dig up my Webster's.

They mean never having to drink alone, always a big plus. Can I lend yours for tonight? The cat doesn't drink with me, alas...

Are you just talking of the current JSP or does that mean that JSP has, between all their boxes, now released all but the listed items from the whole Frémeaux sets? I never followed JSP's Django activities as I had laid eyes on the Frémeaux long before the three boxes appeared (and jumped at that chance quickly last year, although I haven't yet listened to much of it).

Hawd and pawed and lawd has a longer and (correct me if I'm wrong, don't remember much about phonetics) more open "o", methinks?

Well, maybe this here's really not by Django but by some Lincoln Center guy pretending to be (well, taking it home where it belongs to, isn't that so?) Guess for sound issues JPS might be preferred by some (?) but as a happy owner of the three Frémeaux boxes (the three "saisons" boxes that is), I'm happy for not having to bother about Django reissues any more... got plenty of duplication already (the Mosaic, all the Jazz in Paris discs...)

I fell in love with his tune "Pensativa" when I first heard it on Blakey's "Free for All" - that's one of my dad's jazz LPs and I've known it for a looooong time (ah well, 20 years or so, not that long to you older fellas ). His Pacific Jazz albums are quite wonderful, too - the most pleasant surprise of that Mosaic Select set, for sure! Both of them were recently reissued in Japan:

r.i.p. Clare Fischer

US region code only it seems... and almost 35$ from amazon.com - crap! Not for me then...

That sounds very interesting! Got to look for the film, too! (oh, and here's an "e" for them )

Oh, I love drinking christmas trees!

Coleman can be heard on alto on some early sessions (Lee Morgan, Max Roach), I think.

You eat your dates? Isn't that... kind of... cannibalistic? Welcome back!
