  1. It would appear many of these periodicals simply fade away. I did a quick library search, and the British Public Library appears to have a full set, which is something. Still, a little too far for me ...
  2. The recent topic here “DownBeat on archive.org” prompted me to think about the archives of the British publication “Jazz Monthly” (50s-70s), that included such contributors as Max Harrison, Michael James, Alun Morgan, Mark Gardener etc. Would anyone know the fate of these?
  3. Thanks for that! Just experimenting, I hit April 1955 - fascinating. It's fairly easy to use after a few tries ... great resource.
  4. Fine player - always interesting - kind of "off kilter". His 'Tadd Walk' solo with Fats in '47 is a classic to these ears. There's quite a bit of him with various Diz big bands - also 2 tracks live with Monk quartet in Philly 1956 ...
  5. Nice video - he digs in hard, swings hard - if I was in NY I'd be there!
  6. Any news on future of the great Wave catalogue?
  7. No doubt you got a fitting reply ...

    Thanks for this - next time I'm in NY!
  9. Some great writing and playing
  10. This is mentioned in a previous thread in 'Miscellaneous Music' - "Jazz Versions of Rite of Spring" (7/16/2007). The original(?) quote is apparently from Appel's book "Jazz Modernism" (Knopf) 2002.
  11. Gotta love it - from Warne to Herb Jeffries to Arthur Prysock! Only on Organissimo!
  12. Fine Lee - very compatible group (naturally) ...
  13. 'Talk of the Town' here strikes me as one of the great ballads on disc. Diz is superb - Getz is sublime (and I'm not even a Getz fan)!
  14. Bird: Just Friends Lee Konitz: Don't Blame Me (Jimmy Rowles etc.1956)
  15. J.R. Monterose Gigi Gryce Jay McShann
  16. Donation sent 4/13 via Paypal to b3groover@hotmail.com.
  17. Warne Marsh, Joe Albany, Bob Whitlock 1957
  18. He's right about that damned Fender and rock beat!
