check out Biting The Apple" type.

Yes, "Biting the Apple" is really a great album, much better sounding and much better organized than "Homecoming" . And I love the rhythm section Barry Harris, Sam Jones Al Foster very much, and the choice of tunes....

Sophisticated Giant didn´t really become my favourite, maybe I thought it´s a bit too arranged. But I might listen again to it.

Great Encounters has good music on it, especially the Gordon-Griffin encounter, and the Eddie Jefferson encounter is fun, but the whole album isn´t really a unity, more a compilation.

Late night New Orleans brass band singles:

Chosen Few Brass Band - Food Stamp Blues / Big Fat Woman (Syla)
Olympia Brass Band - Mardi Gras in New Orleans, parts 1 & 2 (OBB)
Olympia Brass Band - Gotta Woman / Tuba Fats and Drums (OBB). This record would be more accurately titled "I Got a Woman, parts 1 & 2."

Yeah but you know how I mean, other major soloist on a pure bop record. John Lewis had serious skills across the music. I remember hearing a big band recording, Benny Carter tunes and arrangements -  Central City Sketches maybe? Was in the 90s or so. At the time I didn't expect Lewis to sound so great in that style, too. 

Woh that looks like a good 'un to find. LP only apparently. :g

The LP version of the Oliver Jackson abounds here in NYC; there are dead/old stock copies that should run you about five bucks.

Harold Vick - Don't Look Back (Strata-East)
I took the leap and plopped for the Pure Pleasure reissue of this LP.  It arrived in the mail today (from Dusty Groove), and I'm giving it a first spin right now.  :D

Did Harry Beckett ever make a bad album? This one eluded me for years - never saw it for sale in Mole etc. so can only assume that it disappeared pretty fast after issue. Damn shame that it was never reissued on CD.

So - table tennis is out and cricket is in? :D

I'd love to see Han Bennink playing cricket. After all I've seen him play most other things including his boots, the stage floor and QEH walls :D
