I only have ONE GREAT DAY and KULAK so far. They're both OOP! ONE GREAT DAY is a great record. Took some time to get used to Parkins, too. Daniel Humair's current band with Bruno Chevillon on bass and Marc Ducret on guitar featuring Eskelin is great, too. Don't know their record, but have a broadcast from their Willisau 2002 concert, which is very good! And Eskelins Ammons-Tribute (have the Willisau broadcast, too, and don't have the album, either, Soul Note, by the way) was great fun, too! ubu

not unreleased, but not mentioned often, and a very good session, featuring Chick Corea, Ron Carter and Billy Higgins, rec. 1980: And anyone who likes Johnny Coles' "Little Johnny C" should check out the first Blue Mitchell BN date, with a very similar line up (Leo Wright's there, too, and as the Coles date, it seems to be very much influenced by the presence of Duke Pearson) ubu

That 32 Jazz "Solid" IS bad. Didn't see that one that much in the stores, so I forgot about it. As BAD as all these were. I'm beginning to think they were bad in a "good" way. They're all so bad I actually like them sort of. One thing's for sure. When searching the used CD bin, the 32 Jazz CD cases (thick black plastic) are by far the most recognizable of them all. So, they did do something right. I grew to be quite fond of them, too. To have some fun, just put all those black boxes you got in a row in your CD rack, then take out any one, have a good and healtyh laugh, put it back, take out any next one... Doctor says a good laugh a day is healthy That Altschul is a hell of a record! I picked it up only a month ago, and was really surprised! And yes the Altschul and the Roy Brooks would be the two coming closest to an ok cover. And that La Roca is ok, too, and another very good record. Now how's this one? You can get it for $1000,00 at amazon.com Then comes another favorite: and another: geez! and now, ladies and gentlemen, presenting my ultimate 32jazz poll-winner:

Jim: one of that Freshsound Wynton Kelly 2CD sets has Hank Mobley (I'd guess the 67 but I'm not sure). The other has George Coleman. The 68 set was made after Chambers had died, with Ron McClure, if I remember right. Let me get the info from Freshsound: Live At The Left Bank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1967 (2 Cds) Wynton Kelly Trio Featuring: Wynton Kelly (p), Hank Mobley (ts), Cecil McBee (B), Jimmy Cobb (d) REFERENCE: FSCD 1031 BAR CODE: 84 27328 61031 5 PRICE: 17.20 € Tracklisting: CD 1 1. On A Clear Day (Lerner-Lane) 2. Hackensack (Monk) 3. On Green Dolphin Street (Kaper-Washington) CD 2 1. Milestones (Davis) 2. If You Could See Me Now (Dameron-Sigman) 3. Speak Low (Weil-Nash) Recorded live in 1967 Live At The Left Bank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1968 - 2 Cds Wynton Kelly Trio Featuring: Wynton Kelly (p), George Coleman (ts), Ron McClure (B), Jimmy Cobb (d) REFERENCE: FSCD 1032 BAR CODE: 84 27328 61032 2 PRICE: 17.20 € Tracklisting: CD. 1 1. Introducction-Announcements 2. Unit 7 (Jones) 3. Surrey With The Fringe On Top (Rodgers-Hammerstein) 4. On The Trail (Grofé) CD. 2 1. Mr. P.C. (Coltrane) 2. On A Clear Day (Lane-Lerner) 3. Here's That Rainy Day (Van Heusen-Burke) 4. Theme (Davis) I don't have either of these, but listened to part of them at some store, and they have quite horrible sound. So I guess the Label M Mobley might have been some other recording? Dorn would not have released these, I think. ubu ("don't mow your lawn" - ray anderson)

I love Blue Hours, too! What a wonderful session! Conn: get the ConnSeries release (as your name says...). Disc 1 has the original album, no disturbance by alternates. You get alts and additional stuff from an earlier session on Disc 2. (Though this all does not come close to the originally released music! But concerning "snooze", the second disc with that earlier session is a little stronger with faster tunes) Dan: that Concord sounds interesting! ubu

Hellyeah! Now that's a fun thread!

Now ain't these nice for a change? ubu

ouch!

Mobley / Walton, Breakthrough Sonny Stitt, 12! and all three you already mentioned... ubu

I was trying again and again for more than three hours and was only able to connect a quarter of an hour ago. (from switzerland) ubu

A strong recommendation for Mal Waldron's "What It Is", a quartet date on Enja with Jordan, Cecil McBee and Dannie Richmond. Three lenghty tunes, featuring Jordan at his best. Then there's a nice (european) release of late Jordan called "Clifford Jordan meets Klaus Weiss", recorded in Vienna in 1987 it features Jordan with John Schröder, g; Roberto di Gioia, p; Thomas Stabenow, b; Klaus Weiss, d. Find more here ubu

Could we do a list of recordings made there? Label M: Stan Getz, My Foolish Heart Cohn/Sims, Easy as Pie Hubbard Heath, Jam Gems Sonny Stitt, As It Was Cedar Walton, Three Sundays in the Seventies Freddie Hubbard, Fastball Muse: Roy Brooks, The Free Slave Fantasy: Dexter Gordon, L.T.D. -, XXL Ammons/Stitt, God Bless Jug and Sonny -, Left Bank Encores Enja: Coleman Hawkins, Supreme Verve: Joe Henderson/Wynton Kelly Trio, Straight No Chaser -, Four Freshsound: Wynton Kelly Trio, Live at the Leftbank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1967 (2CD) -, Live at the Leftbank Jazz Society, Baltimore 1968 (2CD) Lee Morgan/Cliff Jordan, Live in Baltimore 1968 (Recording organised by Leftbank Jazz Society at Royal Arms, Baltimore) These are all I can think of. Is there anything more? ubu Edit: added the recordings brownie & Lyin' Wolf mentioned.

This one - which is, as far as I know, one of Friedrich's most famous paintings - is to be found near my place, in a swiss museum. But, as far as I know, it also represents the single Friedrich painting over here. ubu

I sure miss 32! I got all the Woody Shaw and most of the Kirks (except those I had on Rhino/Atlantic, already), the two Cliff Jordans, the two Sonny Criss discs, the Altschul (now that's a very good one!), Joe Chambers, Lockjaw (another great one), some Cedar Walton, the Mobley/Walton... And it seems the new Savoy reissues do have the very same terrible covers... then the big question: DOES SAVOY HAVE ANY RELEASE SCHEDULE? Their new releases section does not feature any of the Muse/32/Landmark releases that are out. Neither can the late 90ies reissues be found. Those last ones had an Atlantic imprint on the cover (like the Cannonball 2CD, Navarro, Dorham, Blakey, Coltrane/Harden etc). ubu

Alright, I get pretty well an idea what you mean! and partially agree, too. I was afraid though, you might count Spaulding among those Glad you don't! Coencerning McLean, I of course did not think you might also mean him - that would have been quite astounding Will look for "Dear John C." ubu

This is very sad news, indeed, Jim Have not heard anything about it, so, thanks for sharing! Though when I saw her in 2001, she already looked like a real old lady. She was brough to the stage on a wheel chair, and looked quite tired. But she played one of the most perfectly balanced (programming of songs) and performed concerts I ever saw/heard, which is why I did not have too many thought about her health. Let's wish her all the best! ubu

The Thompsons are called "Modern Jazz Group" and "With Dave Pochonet All Stars". If you like them, look for the two "Complete Vogue Recordings" CDs (you might still be able to find them at amazon.fr, for a decent price, I think). More info on "Bebop": - Don Byas, Ree-boppers (Holland, Glenn, Taylor, Tilché, Bouchety, Oliver. 1947) - Don Byas / Tyree Glenn Orchestra (Holland, Rostaing, Taylor, Tilché, Bouchety, Oliver. 1947) - Howard McGhee Sextet (Heath, Powell, Biddle, Heath, Wright. 1948) - James Moody Quintet (Peck, Byas, Pfeiffer, Simoens, Frost. 1949) wowee! the second tenor is Byas, too! Forgot about that. Must listen to this one again, soon! ubu

DrJ: if you like the Stu Williams Bethlehem stuff, you might want to check out the Kenton presents Cooper/Holman/Rosolino set. There's some very similar music there, almost same line ups - and I actually prefer the recordings from the Mosaic over the Bethlehems (there is one called "Mariano plays - Bethlehem Years", too). I got these (as well as the Imperial sessions) on Freshsound CDs, which are quite crappy, but at least got the music! Yes, a Mosaic collecting these Bethlehem sessions would indeed be very nice! Back on topic: I found DEEP IN A DREAM yesterday for 6 $. Have listened to it only once yet, but Mariano has a hauntingly beautiful sound! At his age, this is very remarkable, I guess. A marvellous record by a great artist. He should have done some more straight dates in the seventies/eighties! Shrdlu: this DEAR JOHN C sounds interesting! And what alto solos/players are you referring to when talking of Blue Note dates? How's the McCoy Tyner Impulse featuring Mariano and Clark Terry? ubu

Now that's a nice comparison! I'm quite a big ECM fan. Agree with what Dr J. and others have said. The variety of music possible within the "ECM-sound" is indeed exciting! Some recent favorites of mine have been: Enrico Rava Quartet (with Roswell Rudd) Keith Jarrett - Whisper Not Bley/Parker/Philipps - Sankt Gerold Jack DeJohnette - Oneness Michael Cain - Circa ubu

yes, get it! ubu

pryan, I have that Bebop disc. It has four sessions. Two with Don Byas, featuring fellow sideman of the Don Redman band (which toured Europe in 1946 - a broadcast of theirs has been released on the swiss TCB label, in their Swiss Radio Days Jazz Series TCB Homepage), a Howard McGhee session featuring Jimmy Heath (then still "Little Bird") on alto, among others, and James Moody session (which has another tenor aboard, but I can't remember who it is). The Byas material features Tyree Glenn as co-leader and is of the transitional swing-to-bop kind, while the McGhee and Moody are pure bop. Then there are three Jazz in Paris with Lucky Thompson. One has him paired with the blues pianist/singer Lloyd Price, the others belong to his very nice Paris recording legacy from 1957, if I remember correctly. They're in a similar vein as the Vogue recordings (in case you know these), they have two sessions each, one with quartet (Henri Renaud, if I remember correctly) and three nonet or tentet sessions. The main attraction is Thompson himself. These are among his most cherished sides, I think. In the Mosaic Select wish list there was some talk that it would be nice to have a Thompson Paris select. ubu

Sorry, pryan! Didn't remember. But I always mix the Commodore and the definitive, so I might have supposed others do this as well... However: if you don't have the Keynote CD (I'm not a fan of theirs, but sometimes it's an easy way to get some nice material) and can't find it, the definitive might be the one to get. The quartet session with Johnny Guarnieri, Slam Stewart and Big Sid is a bitch! ubu

A friend of mine is looking for a version of "Cute" (the Hefti chart for the Basie band) done as a bass feature. He heard somewhere, that this exists. Anyone knows anything? I only have the one version on the live Mosaic (which is a drum/flute feature) help very appreciated! thanks, ubu

Got the Distel set yesterday - this is one very fine set! Some great Bobby Jaspar on it, too! Those two live tracks (Half Nelson and I'll Remember April) with Hubert Fol (as), René Urtreger (p), Pierre Michelot (b) and "Mac Kac" Reilles (d) are nice to have, and from the Sacha Distel-Bobby Jaspar Quintette (with René Urtreger, too) you get six tracks, among them a great take on Everything Happens To Me - Jaspar is really moving on this one! Anyone knows what #2-? might include? Any news out there? ubu

Got two others (but the fact I forgot to list them is quite telling...): New Agenda and Summit Meeting. Picked them up in some sales bin last year. Anyone knows the recording dates of these? (AMG gives Nov.18, 1976 for the later). Anyway, these are a mixed bag. Featuring Al Dailey on electric piano, some guitar by one Roland Prince (and what a hype they make about him in the liners!). Summit Meeting has Clark Terry, James Moody and Bunky Green, but somehow it seems both records do not work right. ubu
