Me too... "Crisis" is GREAT, the other two are GOOD. And there was more recorded from where "Crisis" came from, it seems (same with "Town Hall") - though to my knowledge, none of that is "in circulation". Would love to see it all reissued and expanded!

What's that? Where's it been out before? Would be cool, of course!

brownie, what's that CT - this one here? (Entry #11 here) Don't think I've ever heard it, but looks great! Here's a cover (for a Mingus boot), think they all look similar: link in case it won't show:

Not sure... but I still hope it'll be included. Other than the short blurb it looks like nothing much has been updated on the amazon page. Also, there's post #10 in this thread, where Jonathan Horwich states the following:

Played the whole Tolliver yesterday - very good one! A bit on the short side, though... they could have easily looked for a fourth session to include (guess there wasn't any fitting with the concept of "Big Band" and the time frame of the 70s?) Will there be a third Tolliver Select with "Compassion", "Live in Berlin at the Quasimodo" (and bonus material) and some? Would be cool! Anyway, now playing disc 1 of: The Blue Note Stanley Turrentine Quintet/Sextet Studio Sessions - disc one holds "Comin' Your Way", the only album I already have (in its vinyl configuration, thus missing "Just in Time" and an alternate take).

Ordered from amazon.fr... best price I found - but there it's only released in a week!

picked up my package at the post office first thing this morning - Turrentine, Hampton, Benedetti/Parker and this one, which I'm into disc 2 now:

so I guess this is the one in question? very cool cover!

And Victor Feldman is the other (other than Eddie Costa, that is) piano/vibes doubler that is equally proficient on both instruments (he was also a drummer, of course).

I know I did... sort of my own version of "Booby"

Bags is also on piano, of course, on Barney Wilen's great "Jazz sur Seine"!

my "default" beer these days is czech and great:

yeah, and more Lacy and some Mal Waldron, too!

Yeah, the torrent title made me think of scatology several times... as for Pops:

"Mingus in Wonderland" is ever-amazing! It was both Handy's and Booger's recording debut, wasn't it? That long, fast blues with their exchanges is amazing!

Is that white or black magic?

Krakow is definitely worth seeing, yes. And the trip to Auschwitz also. Make sure to plan a whole day for it and make sure to go to Birkenau as well (the destruction camp, largely destroyed, but walking through that huge area with your memory working and your imagination bringing up all the terrible stuff you know about what happened there - that's one of the worst and most intense experiences I've had so far)... some of the exhibitions and brouha in Auschwitz (the work camp) is high-gloss crap, but it's definitely worth looking at some of the pavillions (when I was there, about ten years ago, each nation had their own pavillion with their own "history" and exhibition in it - guess that's still the same - and the jewish/Israeli one was just loads of images trying to impress, but others - mainly the Polish - were very good.

Um, I beg to differ, amigo! Yeah... I'm sure we'd get along well and try out plenty of great beers together! I love the variety, there's so much good stuff... yet most people fall for drafts and Heineken and other such crap... hell, even light beer! Btw, I think I had some distant relatives in Alpirsbach... even was there on a visit once. But that was when I was in too tender an age to drink beer.

It is strange... but that's how it is. Atlantic has never released this (are the releasing any jazz at all these days? Anything since the "Tutu" deluxe edition?) and it's great to be able to get it. On the other hand you can say: No one should ever hear it, no one has the right to release and/or hear it. Nothing wrong with that view, but curiosity just gets the better of me!

Happy Birthday!

And Chubby Checker wrote "Now's the Time"?

What's the critical mass?

Wow, this is seriously GREAT news! Anyone knows anything else about these recordings? How might Fresh Sound have gotten hold of them? Were they, as they say, "in circulation"?

light beers ahead... count me out on that crap... and nothing against Belgian beers, please - there's none better!

Happy Birthday!
