Hi Pim

William Claxron was a famous west coast photographer

Here is a link which reminded me to the cover of your Item.

That´s it. Exactly those two albums are my Wayne Shorter Favourites. I might also add "Schizofrenia" as this was my entry into the music of Wayne when I was a teenie. 

I don´t have it but as much as I remember it was very late in his live, about 1987. Chet became better and better in the 80´s. I never listened to the albums of the Westcoast and didn´t even know who is Chet until there was an article about him in Jazzpodium in 1978. 

I saw him the last time late in 1987 and it was the best Chet I ever heard. 

this might be my favorite Wayne. Schizophrenia is selected for the upcoming Tone Poets. Wayne is such a powerful player but I have to say it’s his ballad playing that stuns me the most.

About Chet. For me it’s the other way around. I prefer the young Chet. The stuff I like best is with Russ Freeman on piano and the stuff on Barclay. The later stuff is hit and miss for me. I do like these Paddle Wheels a lot. Indeed a 1987 live recording.

Yes, I bought this LP when it came out, as a deletion. It is also on the Shorty Rogers Mosaic box set. Never saw Shorty alas but did get to see Pete Jolly and Bill Holman and briefly met Bill - nice guy.

I remember Jazz Journal doing features on Shorty’s UK tours in the 70s and 80s. Will have to check those out. Pretty sure Steve Voce wrote the articles.

Re Born Again:

I heard the band, but I never heard the album! 😃

Those were the days when the Bath Jazz Festival really delivered the goods re: Shorty/NYJO performance. It helped that the local presence of jazz-fan and media star Miles Kington helped to make such things happen.

Sadly, no longer to be.

Now on deck -

There seem to have been a few similar reports for that title on the Hoffmeister board.

Yeah I see them on Discogs too. Not acceptable for 50 euros so I am going to return it.

The west coast stuff from the early/mid fifties is my favorite Chet ❤️ it breathes a certain atmosphere I just really like. When I close my eyes I feel like I am on the other side of the ocean in that very decade which is interesting as I never visited the States and I was born in 1990…

Tone Poet of this one just arrived so it will be interesting to compare. A very enjoyable session.

Also pending a listen - Elvin’s ‘Live at Pookies’ 3LP.
