kh1958

I'd love to hear that recording. When will it be out on CD?

I could not agree with you more--a fantastic recording.

I came across a Columbia Legacy cutout CD today of the Lunceford band--Lunceford Special, 1939-1940--and snapped it right up, thanks to this thread--definitely some swinging music on this one.

Tango--saw the Heath Brothers play there in late 1983.

I have one ECM session on LP where he was the leader--the Jewell in the Lotus.

I received 7 out of 8 ordered yesterday. A second order of 8 is on it way.

Their website doesn't appear to be working. The concert is described in the Dallas Observer (page 39). They give a phone no., 214-565-9026, ext. 301.

I picked that one up yesterday, and it is fantastic. In addition to the Round About Midnight album (purchased here for the third time), there are four excellent miscellaneous studio tracks (Budo, Sweet Sue and Melonae I only had on my old Basic Miles LP), the Newport Round Midnight performance with Monk, and the Pasadena concert (which is in excellent sound).

It would appear that David Fathead Newman will be performing in Fair Park, at 6 p.m., on Saturday, June 18. https://www.aamdallas.org/juneteenth%2005.htm

When I checked on Sunday, the sale was over.

Yes, a favorite record of mine, and just prior to its recording, November 19, 1974, was the night of my sole fortunate opportunity to see Mr. Mingus and this group. Remember Rockefellar at Attica is a great composition. Mingus played it with Pullen and Adams on Changes One. ←

I have the Lacy/Watson Mingus tribute, and it is indeed a good one. I especially like their versions of Free Cell Block F, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat and Remember Rockefellar at Attica.

The sale is still ongoing, by the way.

Not jaded, just idiots.

I also received an email yesterday, saying all but one that I ordered had been shipped, with one cancelled.

I don't recall hearing any better sounding live recordings from this era.

He already answered that question in this very thread.

Sonny Fortune has an excellent recent CD, Continuum, with George Cables, Steve Johns, and Wayne Dockery, on his own label, Sound Reason, available from CDbaby. http://www.sonnyfortune.com/current.html

Bird's Eyes volume 18. It appears to be a recording for radio broadcast, from Los Angeles, March to April 1946; my Bird discography says AFRS Jubilee 186, so does this mean this is a V disc?--with Bird, Benny Carter, and Willie Smith on altos (no Hodges, my memory failed me there). Benny Carter introduces Bird, who introduces Willie Smith. They then play a medley, Tea For Two (Willie Smith feature), Body and Soul (Benny Carter feature), and Cherokee (Bird feature). The sound quality is very good (near the best in the whole Bird's Eyes series). The length is about 10 minutes. The band is Nat King Cole, Oscar Moore (guitar), Johnny Miller (bass), and Buddy Rich.

My copy also arrived today. Much thanks.

Speaking of Small's (the club and the label), I must say that the Ari Hoenig Trio, with Jean Michel Pilc on piano, which I heard there last Monday, is one fine group.

One of the coolest recordings in the Bird's Eyes Philology series (perhaps this also has appeared elsewhere) is a recording of Charlie Parker, Willie Smith, Johnny Hodges and Benny Carter together. As I recall, Bird actually introduces Willie Smith.

I was able to see Mr. Terry at the VV a week ago Friday. He was not moving around very well, needing some assistance to reach the stage. He was still able to play, at least for brief passages, in his identifiable style. At times, he could no longer execute his ideas. (As he said, "the Golden Years suck.") Still, I enjoyed seeing him. His best performance was a very quiet and beautiful muted version of Mood Indigo. Red Holloway was on tenor, and his playing was quite strong.

An ipod and a cassette adaptor have revolutionized long car drives for me. They are now a pleasure.

I used to (back when their albums were coming out) like the Rolling Stones, the Doors, the Who, and Led Zeppelin. Now I can't really bear to listen to any of them, the main reason being that I can't stand hearing their lead singers. On the other hand, I still like the voices of John Lennon, George Harrison, and Jack Bruce, so the Beatles and Cream still provide listening pleasure.
