Should be the Atlantic blue/green label I think (mid-1960s). Green and red label would be a 1970s reissue. "Half Note" is blue-green, "Sweden" is orange-purple. So I guess I have a mono original of "Sweden" and a stereo original of "Half Note", yes? WAY COOL! I guess those are - besides maybe the Shelly Manne "3,4,5" and a mono "Love Supreme" that is pretty beat up - my only original LPs! brownie, I should have added some smiley, too...

The amount of Duke... well, in respect of him actually performing, it's not as big as obviously expected by a few who've posted already (and there was no money for an additional singer that night, sorry to say ) Then on "Body & Soul"... more ubu going

My own humble tribute to the great man... his voice is there, clearly to be heard and now properly identified! (Sorry to say it's not Thad, but hey, that was pretty close already!) His playing is hidden somewhere, too...

Obviously I prefer the graphic covers, too... but that one with the guitar lady is pretty cool (and much of its time, I guess, somehow reminds me of that old flick "Barbarella"...) I can't speak about the music - I have rarely ever browsed the hard bossa thread (otherwise I would have noted that couw had posted a link to the site AND mentioned the covers [not only the free tunes] before... ) ubu

Bentsy: I'll revive that JiP thread again in a few days... It will take some time for me to catch up with these, but the Urtreger has been recommended by many (and mostly, I remember, by brownie)! Got my zweit package including: - Tjader Playse Mambo - Booger Heavy!!! - Big Bags - Pepper Adams Encounter! - Getz w/ Raney & Gibbs - Harold in the Land of Jazz (wonder how that one is, Penguin says it's bad) - Ray Bryant Trio - Byrd/Burrell All Night Long - Stitt Kaleidoscope - Ellington Suites - Sims & Gershwin Bros. - K.D. 2 horns 2 riddim - MJQ Concorde - Art Farmer Septet - Art Pepper Hollywood 5CD box !!!

Got it! Wowee!

This was originally released by Gene Norman Presents under Marty Paich's name. First a ten-incher, then a twelve-incher. Both in the '50s. It was also released as 'Tenors West' if I remember right. It was reissued in the late '70s as by Giuffre/Paich when Giuffre became 'famous' Thanks! But... Giuffre famous? How could that happen?

Indeed! I guess Bird lives nowhere in or around Zurich, but that may change tomorrow...

Some vinyl I took out of the shelf, planning to play over the next few weeks (I seldom play my LPs, but there's some real nice ones that - only because they're LPs - are getting much too little air time): - Farmer/Golson: Another Git Together (Japanese reissue) - Art Farmer: "live" at the half-note (old-looking Atlantic*) - Art Farmer: To Sweden with Love (old-looking Atlantic*) - Eddie Bert: Musician of the Year (Savoy, RCA reissue from 1985) - Teddy Edwards/Howard McGhee: Young at Heart (Storyville) - Bud Shank: Live at the Haig (see more here) - Tenors West: Jimmy Giuffre with the Marty Paich Octet (GNP 1977**) - Fru'n Brew: Tony Fruscella & Brew Moore (Spotlite) - Sal Salvador feat. Eddie Costa: Tribute to the Greats (Bethlehem, Freshsound reissue) - Curtis Fuller: Blues-ette (Savoy, RCA reissue from 1984) * how to check if these are original pressings? Not that I care all that much, but I have the LPs at hand and the knowledgeable people here... ** was that the original release? Or did that come out earlier? ubu

Seven Jazz in Paris discs: - Urtreger joue Bud Powell (FINALLY!!!) - both B. Peiffer trio discs - Jazz et cinéma Vol. 4 - Modern jazz à Saint-Germain - Porgy & Bess - Stéphane Grapelli, "Django" Nice little sale (though a wee bit more expansive then getting them on Amazon, but if it's just a wee bit, I like buying in some good - well, ok - stores), and I'll get more...

http://www.sabadabada.com/new_page_2.htm WHOA! Some very very very cool covers there! A few favourites:

"East Coasting" is a terrific album, indeed! A sentimental favourite of mine, too.

Sy Oliver!!!

Looking at that list again I see that the following persons have either not yet received their discs, or just haven't confirmed that they got them in a way that I took notice of: - dutchmanx - Nate (any news? should I have someone send another package?) - hardbopjazz - Bright Moments - Dan Gould - Stefan Wood - gslade - .:.impossible No problem if you haven't had the time to listen, in fact the discussion has only just really started, so there's lots of time left! I would be glad thoug about a short post here, confirming that you got the discs, just to keep an overview and make sure I didn't forget anyone! Thanks, ubu

Uh forgot K.D.! Thought he had been mentioned! Also: Howard McGhee!

Johnny Coles Ted Curson Lonnie Hillyer Richard Williams Don Ellis Thad Jones Tony Fruscella Don Joseph Conte Candoli Pete Candoli Don Fagerquist Stu Williamson Gerald Wilson Bill Hardman Tommy Turrentine Dave Burns

! enjoy!

and I sure do! ubu

So this is from the same source as mine... great to know! I started wondering reading that guy's name rather than "fm" or the name of a radio or tv station.

That was a Duke Pearson album for Jazzline with a two trumpet frontline (Byrd and Johnny Coles) reissued under Byrd's name on Black Lion. Exactly, that one! Coles of course is waaaaay better there...

Bubber Miley Rex Stewart that chick that blew Miles horn (no pun... )

You guys love that accordion track, he? Heheheheh! I love it very very much, it always beats me up again, even on repeated listens! *** The king is yet without the Byrd/Adams Mosaic (just be sure to tell me in time when it starts running low), but I have that tune elsewhere (at least I believe, I think it's event he title track there) on a Byrd album. The pianist has some serious fun here, but I love the horns a lot, as well. How about the drummer... Al: I'm glad you enjoyed your listen! I do realize it's pretty hard to have a go at all of this disc in one go, but I had kind of a goal here (less so on disc 2, and I think disc 2 is easier to take, too, but then one looses concentration, anyway, even if it's easier...). Again thank for some wonnerful thoughts on the music, and on the Byrd track ("Hush" is the title, for all of those too lazy to google and/or without that album). I am aware (and that's of course part of the story) that even though some of the music IS familiar, you won't be able to pin down many of the artists, but I enjoy reading your comments a lot! Is it time for a write up on what has been identified so far, or still too early? I'd rather wait a bit, for there might be some lurkers here who haven't posted yet... ubu

Wolfgang Dauner - the first to own one of two V.C.S. synthesizers in Europe - George Harrison had the other one! I hardly know Dauner... just a few things he did with Mangelsdorff.

Christy Doran? Although he's not obscure. No - it's a young guy! What about W.D.? Who where you thinking about?
