The cd series Jazz at the Concertgebouw, released by the Muziek Centrum Nederland (MCN) has been enlarged with a new album, featuring the first set of the 1958 Jazz From Carnegie Hall tour, featuring Lee Konitz, Zoot Sims, Phineas Newborn, Red Garland, Oscar Pettiford and Kenny Clarke. The main attraction, trombonists J. J. Johnson and Kai Winding, who played during the second set, are not present, much to my regret, on this sixth album in the series Jazz at the Concertgebouw, Star Eyes.

Two young Dutchmen, Ben Essing and Jan Vis, who lived in a small village north of Amsterdam, Blokker, decided during the late 1950s to organize some concerts, to stir living things up in their small village. At the local auction hall, were vegetables were sold by auction, they scheduled May 1959, a small festival which ended with a concert by Louis Armstrong himself. Kees Maaswinkel, then 17 years young, joined that concert and took his photo camera: New unique photos of Armstrong's 1959 Blokker concert ( The Netherlands) Durium

During the 1960s and 1970s Oscar Alemán was featured from time to time in various radio and TV programs in Argentina. No new recordings had been released since late 1950s when he dissolved his Orchesta de Jazz and the contract with Odeon ended, however, there was made some studio recordings mid-1960s in a new quintet setting as OA y sus Cinco Caballeros, but these recordings were not released until made available on LP late 1970s. Accordingly, collectors of Alemán's recorded output have had to accept a gap from 1957, when the last recordings by Odeon were made, until 1972, when the small Redondel label released new recordings by OA. Fortunately, keen collectors in Argentina have taped extracts from OA's live-performance in radio, TV and public venues from this period, and these tape recordings are supplemented by recordings from Alemán and close friends' own tape collections - previously circulating among collectors, but never issued by a regular record company. A selection of this material has now been released on a double cd by the Fonocal label (FONOCAL 24 1/2) with the title Oscar Alemán - Eternamente Vivo. Oscar Alemán: Eternamento vivo Durium
