king ubu

Between February 27 and March 17, 1941 (February 15, 1941?) Lester Young & his Band Manhattan Center, New York City Shad Collins t; Lester Young ts; John Collins g; Nick Fenton b; Doc West d 2. Tickle Toe (Young) 5:25 3. Taxi War Dance (Basie-Young) 5:19 That's one amazing session ... sorta pre-cool (Pres was the true king of cool anyways) what without piano and all that ...

The discussion is from reviews in magazines (stating that some "minor" tracks were left off) ... if I remember correctly, Frémeaux communicated from the beginning that, different from the Django series, this wouldn't be complete to the last bit, but rather contain all the important sessions (no idea about their exact wording) - isn't there any info on this in the booklet of Vol. 1?

Very sad news!

Thanks!

Thanks Larry! Himmelstein rings a bell though I don't know why/wherefrom/-to, as I don't know those Ervin/Gordon notes - somehow never got around to buying the single disc release and then the bix Prestige box of Dexter's came out. If they're online anywhere, I'd be glad for a hint!

So Jet had a writer going by that name? There seems to be a Raven Screen Corporation, too, manufacturer of movie screens founded in 1921 by one Albert L. Raven (who died at 75 in 1951 as Billboard reports here).

I might be slow getting it ... but can anybody tell me who "Raven Screen" is, the author of the liner notes to Sonny Criss' Prestige album "Up, Up and Away"?

Yeah, I've followed it and with some interest, too. Just thought I'd ask if by "Ibragon" you all meant Irabagon

You guys are talking of Jon Irabagon, yes?

but you're aware it already happened with the last upgrade, right? I think it was discussed back then, and several people have other display names since then .... (no idea why login name and display name would ever have been separate things ... but I guess someone with administrator rights could log-in to the "back end" of the forum - where you manage/ban users etc. - and just change the names again?)

Thanks, will have to consider as it does interesting!

Thanks for sharing your impressions - is it a proper (pressed as opposed to burned) DVD? Anyway, sounds more like something I'd enjoy catching on telly rather than buying ... but I'd be interested to see it - if it ever runs on the beeb, let us know please!

Okay, now that you say it I finally do get that way to read your sentence

Had the same, a few months ago - got the Armstrong, wanted the Condon/Freeman - they made up and as it was trans-Atlantic, I didn't have to return the Armstrong, which was mighty generous of them ... I donated it to the Swiss Jazz Museum as I already have my copy of it and would have felt like a cheap whore had I sold it on

yup. also I'm not quite sure how she be his daughter AND his widow ...

Had missed this before - sad news indeed.

Interesting point, Allen. This kind of soloing really builds nothing all too often and is totally devoid of real emotion. Don't feel this with, say, Illinois Jacquet or Thomas Chapin, but there are lesser musicians ... sticking to the old ones, Flip Phillips would be one (though he made some good records, too).

... the "Teo" from Carnegie Hall is one great romp! And Mobley has some fine spots on "Someday" - the fact that it fell between the (sorta) complete boxes is quite sad indeed.

Obviously, but that's a completely different thing ... switch one guy and the band is totally different. The fall 1960 tour with Stitt I'd also prefer to the Blackhawk recordings, I think, as Miles takes on the challenge there (and Kelly reacts to that), while at the Blackhawk they're content to play in the pocket - nice enough and surely more difficult to do than it would seem, but over the course of four discs also somewhat boring, eventually. But I'd have a rather hard time thinking of better dinner party music

Joyeux anniversaire, Guy! C'était très bien de te rencontrer autre fois!

I like it, but I prefer the Carnegie Hall concert: There have been various previous threads of course: htttp://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/1618-miles-blackhawk/ or www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/1004-comp-miles-blackhawk-up-for-pre-order/

Right, guess I implied that rather than outright saying it. Pretty rotten scene. yup ... and I edited my post in a way it kinda repeated your point, only realizing after having posted it. re: Monk's Casino - loved it live, but for many reasons none of which included Schlippenbach. Don't need it on disc though.

Thought Schleiss wasn't really legal /straightforward either, appropriating by force what wasn't really hers - ugly story there, from what I've read ... but then this is one of those cases were some might feel inclined to have a right to hear stuff ... and I guess you'll always find some musician not happy with someone's label, but then that's no reason for excuses either.

hm, no idea, but jazzwerkstatt has done some nice stuff, also their own recordings ...
