Yeah!😉

Many thanks, Roy. RIP

#6 Something about this reminds me of Sun Ra ... I don't have anything of him playing organ like this ... which would mean that the tenor could be John Gilmore - although the things I have of him are a little stronger (?).

#6 is interesting - tenor may be Clifford Jordan, maybe late 1980's ... like to hear more ...

Good sleuthing. The short solo is certainly Lestorian and you are right about Mabane. I don't have Haddix's book, but It would be interesting to know just why he thinks it is Bird - possibly for these very reasons ...

Received the Japanese version a few days ago - very nice production including a 9.5 x 9.5 inch cover photo reproduction (very relaxed Bird). Sound is good and the music excellent (of course). I agree that it is not Bird soloing on "Margie"...

Great box!

Unreleased tracks from "The Real Lee Konitz" on Atlantic. Classic !!!

Ah, yes ... excellent.

Deep in the great tradition - many thanks - RIP.

The trio - well recorded, too. Barry's on fire ... There's one of Barry with Lee? What a treasure trove!

Thanks Dan, Just listened to the Barry Harris at Birdland 1991. Just beautiful!

I don't recall Zeke soloing, but I remember Lacy has a fine solo on "Ella Speed"...

Really looking forward to this!

11. Piano sounds like Richard Twardzik, with Charlie Mariano on alto. Trumpet is competent but lacks something ... JSngry's hint helped ...

Anita Brown Jazz Orchestra "27 East" - 20 piece BB with Dave Pietro etc. CD recorded 2003 on Lasheda Records Daughter of Ted ...

Excellent!

Yes Prez ...

Moderator - can you fix this mess?

"So Nice" from above CD ... this Blue Note disc is a compilation of 2x10" records from '53 (trio) and '54 (quintet with Frank Foster and Freeman Lee), PLUS 3 additional tracks recorded by Pacific Jazz in LA 1957, with Harold Land, Stu Williamson, Leroy Vinnegar and Frank Butler. "So Nice" comes from this group of 3 tracks, all of which are superb and feature fine compositions and arrangements (Elmo's) and swinging, imaginative solos of the highest order. Elmo has it all together, Land was at a peak at this time, and this may be the best Williamson on record ... plus Leroy and Frank Butler! Pity they didn't record more ...

👍

Er, Ken ... isn't it Zeitlin?😊

Lee has some interesting comments in Hamilton's book 217-19 ...

Caught Tootie live once - what a joy!

Many thanks for the article ... wonderful musician.
