but there seems to be something with her nose...
maybe the wedding has to be postponed until after some surgery?

Not a king exactly, but possibly future queen... (the spanish Royals have confirmed the marriage of her - Letizia Ortiz is her name - and heir to the throne, prince Felipe)

I love the Enja album he made with Kenny Barron, Ben Riley and Cecil McBee. It's called "There Was A Time - Echo of Harlem". A beautiful date! Was recorded in 1990.

Eddie was a great soloist, no question. I really like the famous "Compared To What", with Les McCann (whom I also used to like - you never hear about him anymore).
When I was driving around L.A. in 1991, Chuck Niles on KLON was featuring his album "A Tale Of Two Cities" a lot. The long "Chicago Serenade", recorded before an enthusiastic home audience, is REALLY funky. It is almost, as the French would say, le dernier cri in funk. Highly recommended for when you are tired of more "serious" material.
I love the Swiss Movement record! Benny Bailey is quite good on that one, too (although he himself seems to dislike the album...).
I heard a broadcast of a Bill Evans (sax player) concert from some german jazz festival (maybe two years ago), where Les McCann was added to the group as a special guest (piano & vocals) for two of the broadcasted tracks. I have no idea to what he(McCann)'s up today, however.

I've seen her live (with the band) probably in 2001. A great show!
Rich Perry, Scott Robinson,... you get several good solosists/instrumentalists, and then you get the lavish yet very controlled and nuanced sound of her beautiful orchestrations of her (or other band members', I think) compositions.
I got her second CD (Coming About), and it is quite similar in style to the concert I heard (it was the 30 year Enja Winckelmann jubilee tour, I saw Dhafer Yousef the next day, too. The first Enja release, by the way, was a Mal Waldron record, if I remember that right.)
Hope you'll hear a great concert, EKE!
Edit: just reread your post; you will be hearing the same show she did yesterday in Zurich (I missed it as I am currently in the accompanying orchestra of a theatre staging Brecht/Weill's Threepenny-Opera, and did miss the whole - though terribly bad programmed - Zurich jazz festival which took place last week).

uh, and, generally, I'm more on the side of the Saints than the Kings...
or rather: on the side of what the Saints had to say about Kings (such as Saint-Just)

What about King Ubu
Cool!
Hell, I only saw that thread today.
I vote for King Ubu because, he, roi des polonais, is nowadays the true winner of the war in iraq (as polish writer Andrej Stasiuk said in the german newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung some months ago). He prevents Sadam from stealing all those beautiful blonde polonaises... B)
Another personal favorite: King Bumibol (of Thailand, sp?). He jammed with Benny Goodman. The only jazz-addict king known to me.
Bev, how's that Peter Burke book? I read some of his stuff, but not this one.
Have you read that little book by Robert Darnton (in german it was called "Poesie und Polizei", I would have to look up the original title) on those nice poems about Mme Poisson etc?

I can´t read a word in French
but it sounds interesting... when we´re talking about Helen Merrill!I will pick it!
Sorry 'bout that. I was browsing the Universal France site and saw that, and thought I'd post albeit in French...

Avec Helen Merrill, le chant oscille constamment au seuil de la déchirure, voire de l'extinction, et fait inévitablement penser à deux autres virtuoses du silence et de la non-virtuosité : Billie Holiday et Miles Davis.Quels que soient les musiques, les mots, la thématique choisie, c'est une même histoire que chante Helen Merrill depuis sa première entrée dans un studio d'enregistrement en 1952 pour un 78-tours du label Roost, avec Jimmy Raney, guitare, et Red Mitchell, contrebasse : "The more I see you" d'un côté, "My funny Valentine" de l'autre. Soit un demi-siècle d'intensité et de drame variables, de climats doux-amers, jusqu'à cet inimaginable Vin de lilas ou Lilac wine qui pourrait bien être emblématique, en ses nuances, parfums et couleurs délicieusement incertaines, de la nature féérique et bleue (entre fées de rêve et faits de vie) du chant d'Helen. Cette ballade rarement chantée par ses consœurs après sa version de 1955 "avec cordes", seules Eartha Kitt, Chris Connor, Nina Simone ou Morgana King surent en donner des lectures remarquables. Quant au thème-titre de la bande sonore du film "Car sauvage est le vent" (Wild is the wind, 1957), il est le produit de deux talents complémentaires : de George Cukor, signataire des plus beaux portraits de femmes du cinéma hollywoodien et de Dimitri Tiomkine, à qui l'on doit quelques-unes des plus mémorables et émouvantes musiques de film. Et puis là, elle se distingue encore plus profondément des autres vocalistes américaines : Helen Merrill n'aime rien tant qu'affiner son rapport amoureux (et partagé) avec la France, et plus précisément avec la langue française, depuis "À tout choisir" ou "Quand tu dors près de moi" et jusqu'à ce "Pierre" de Barbara dont elle retrouve une émotion comme souterraine. Et tandis qu'Alan, son guitariste de fils, la rejoint sur "You" avec un grain de voix qui, finalement, n'est pas sans révéler un certain "esprit de famille", c'est à une musicienne amie, la pianiste Marian McPartland que l'on doit "Portrait of Helen Merrill", un portrait orchestral fort ressemblant de cette Jelena Ana Milcetic qui vit le jour à Manhattan le 21 juillet 1930 et, encore "teenager", fut emportée par la passion du jazz. Belle écoute.
Waiting for this! Her last couple of albums were GREAT ones!

Anybody familar with the Jean-Luc Ponty disc in this series? Any info about would be helpful, opinions, style he's playing etc.
Thanks
Greg
I love it! It's quite modern small group stuff. Not in the Grappelli vein.
Some very able sidemen. Michel Portal makes his recording debut there.
Would have to listen again to make more elaborate comments.

I have just gotten Harris' "For Bird and Bags" and do really enjoy that album!
There is not Harris thread here, so I thought we could start discuss his music here.
One of my favorite 32jazz releases was the 2CD set by Harris including "The In Sound", "Mean Greens", "Tender Storm" and "Silver Cycles".
There is a lot of very good music to be found on these dates! Harris' sound is unique by all means. He was truly his own man.
What's your opinion about him? Which are your favorite albums? Let's start some discussion of the man and his music here!

A great album!
It's been some time since I heard it first, but it's a very good one!
Is there any catalogue (online) of available Koch Jazz releases/reissues?

I like it just right. It's a little rough (mainly the playing of Morgan and McLean), but it's true, bluesy, and yes, thoughtful, maybe.

I like the Jacquet very much. It was among the first 10 of my Mosaics. I never did care about the sound, but it might be as good as possible with existing sources etc etc. It's from the forties, so no one expects something pristine.
The music often is quite r'n'b influenced, sometimes with vocals, some jump stuff, one big band session, and (this has been mentioned) there are many ballad masterpieces.
Get it while it's around!

I got the CD last week. Have only had time to listen to the first 15 or 20 minutes, but my first impression is positive. Sounds like an interesting disc!

You're right, Jim! I'd buy such a box myself, too! Hell, that would be a GREAT one!
Here is the information on the Mingus Europe tour of 1964 (the links don't function here, click the source for that):
(source: http://webusers.siba.fi/~eonttone/mingus/1964.html)
B) actually means b )
In April 1964 Mingus went to Europe with one of his greatest bands featuring Eric Dolphy on alto sax, bass clarinet and flute, Johnny Coles on trumpet, Clifford Jordan on tenor sax, Jaki Byard on piano and Dannie Richmond on drums. Part of the repertoire was first "rehearsed" in front of the Town Hall audience in New York before the band left the United States to play their first concert in Amsterdam's Concertgebouw. After a week of touring the sextet was suddenly reduced to quintet when Coles collapsed on stage during the performance of 'So Long Eric' on April 17 in Paris.This part of the discography is primarily based on Arjan Koning's original version and Lindenmaier/Salewski's Mingus discography (1983) with all corrections given in JazzRealities magazines 1-10 till summer 1989 (information provided by Gerd Fink, thanks!) This has been complemented and corrected by the information received from the contributors to this discography. I'm going to check the concerts I've on CD very carefully for edits and correct timings. The timings represent the length of the actual performance without applauses, introductions or other speeches - from the very first note to the very last decay of an instrument. The second length is the timing given by the CD player. I haven't used liner notes timings at all, because they're usually unreliable.

Due to varying naming practices for certain compositions ('Meditations' and 'Orange Was The Color Of Her Dress', for example), I've basically sticked to the most common and shortest names for clarity. Here are some of the alternate titles and variations you may encounter:

Notes:
The concert started 0.10 a.m. and ended 2.45 a.m. (according to Musidisc liner notes) - therefore this is under April 19, not April 18
*) 'Meditations' lasts 27:30 on America 3LP-set
'So Long Eric' (23:21/27:10) on Musidisc (mistitled 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'), which features Coles, is actually an edited version from Salle Wagram and it fades in the end of Dolphy's alto sax solo before Richmond's drum solo. Therefore 'Introduction et Presentation' (1:33) is probably also from Salle Wagram, especially when Mingus mentions Coles during the introduction of the band
'Sophisticated Lady' is a duet featuring Byard and Mingus
Was 'I Can't Get Started' played at all? Although Mingus mentions it before he starts 'Sophisticated Lady', he probably chose to play 'Sophisticated Lady' instead of 'I Can't Get Started'. Just a guess.
Johnny Coles did not play in this concert, although some of the liner notes claim otherwise

A couple of thoughts on my (not so popular, alas!) album of the week, after another thorough listen:
I love the opening Part I! That xylophone thing Russell plays has sort of a circus-quality, slapstick.
The beginning of Part II ("Krupa") shows him to be a swing expert (an expert at both that thing so hard to describe in words and the style/era).
"Blasé" (and "Gloomy Sunday", too) is a highly effective, very individualistic take on a quite seldom heard (at least these days) standard. Russell's soprano playing is marvellous!
With "Dark Rapture" we enter groove territory. I love the sound of the bass saxophone (wish I had one myself!). Another groovy tune comes at the end ("Oh Well").
Much of the music on this album is dense, textural music, often the horns play rhythm parts, too (as on "My Little Grass Shack").
"For M" then, has some real good trumpet playing by Russell. It's fun how he jumps from cool directly to electric. He succeeds to make this a clear musical hommage to MD (you'd recognize that without knowing the title and narration), yet somehow it's still very much Hal Russell there!
Another general observation is that this is group music. While the NRG Ensemble sometimes defies its name, on Part V (Birth of the Free) they really live up to their name! And Mars Williams has quite an energetic thing to say throughout on his tenor.
The Ayler hommage is another of my favorite tracks on this disc. First you get the very effective coupled double basses, then the two tenors enter. They emulate Ayler, but if only for the duplication of tenor saxophone, it is something else than just a replica. (And that line in the narration "Then along came Ayler / Holy shit!" is another favorite moment of mine!).
And after the Free part comes the rise of NRG. That passage where Russell plays over a didgeridoo-backdrop is great!
They can produce so many sounds! That's one of the best things about this band (and this album in particular - in my opinion the still very good Finnish/Swiss album has a little bit more of a sameness, and more rock-influence in general, I think).
A listing of the instruments played may help to get an image of the sound part:
Russell: ts, ss, tpt, dr, xylophone, perc, gong, narration, vox
Williams: ts, as, bass-sax, toy horns, wood flute, didgeridoo, bells, sounds, narration
Brian Sandstrom: b, g, tpt, toy horns, perc
Kent Kessler: b, tb
Steve Hunt: d, vib, tympani, perc
Hunt and the two bassists, by the way, do a great job on the whole album. From dance-inflected swing beats up to free colouring, funky grooves, rock to free pulse playing...
The two encores are a nice (but actually not extremely necessary) addition. A lyrical tune, and another groove thing, they show the spectrum of NRG very well.
Now once again, what strikes me most is that out of all these sometimes rather disparate influences, styles, components, comes a really great sound/band concept - and NOT a ecclecticism merging and melting together on a superficial level the parts of the puzzle.
In some way, this is a post-modern album in the best sense. Not a "great narration" (although it is that, too, of course!), but a quizzical, comical, earnest, happy, sad, joyous, jumping, grooving, loud and often funny piece.

I love the Nat Cole disc. Very hard to recall today, when she has become such a huge commercial success (and inevitably a target for jazz 'insiders'), just how fresh that sounded.
I bought two more after that but found the strings and emphasis on ballads lost my interest. The crisp 'All for You' suited her better to my mind.
I've never had any problem with her voice.
This sums it up pretty well...
... though I picked up all her discs...
I did like "Love scenes" when it came out, but it has been a long time since I last heard it.
Then her first two records (the ones before the Cole) are quite good in my opinion.
And
I have to confess I do like some things on the one following Love scenes (can't remember the title of that), the first "diva" one.The strings one is pretty lame (though she does a pretty "Cry me a river"), but the live disc is another quite good one.
ubu
-
quite good at least, I'd say!
I like it a lot!
The line up of this date and yes, Lon, the sound, is quite unique.
Then, the whole vibe is not as commercial as on the (wonderful, in my opinion) Fat Albert Rotunda. And Johnny Coles, Garnett Brown and Joe Henderson are a great frontline, too!
ubu
-
I think "lost her mind" might be more to the point.
Yeah! And besides I might add that her liner notes to the Revenge set really deserve an award!
A box of all that material would sure be great. But this would be some 15 or 20 discs, I think!

I was fairly sure that I saw a volume 2 in Europe. But I could be wrong. I own the Charly myself. Note: the Cafe Society tracks are not on the Charly Birdland box, but they can be found on quite a number of other reissues.
John, the 4CD box "At Birdland 1950-1951 Volume 1" (got it recently) was also released as two 2CD sets, as far as I know. So maybe you saw volume two of this?
ubu

Thanks for this, PDEE!
I will have to get a closer look at that Savoy set and compare with your list!

What's the best deal to get the box in Europe? Amazon France has it for 60 Euros. Cheaper than that anywhere?
