Late Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Ubu, Yes, a Mosaic Select would be grand! It would give more people a chance to hear the scant appearance of Jean-Louis Chautemps on tenor from these sessions. I know that Chautemps matured into a player with a greater mastery of the horn after these recordings, but the February 1956 date catches him at an awkward, but nevertheless intriguing, angle — loping eighth notes, a dusty tone. I actually quite like it. Dig the short (2:29) "Anticipated Blues" — perfect for putting on one's answering machine, or at the end of a mixed tape. The original 1988 Polygram France cd's of these recordings have always sounded good to me. Has anyone A/B'ed the '88 Volume 1 with this latest edition? Quote
king ubu Posted May 28, 2004 Author Report Posted May 28, 2004 Reviving this old thread - I recently got Lewis' "Private Concert" and I'm deeply impressed! The more I hear of his music and playing the better I think he was. A complete musician. ubu Quote

Claude Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Amazon.de has most of these for 6.66 Euro currently. Diabolic! Quote
couw Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Very cool that the original cover for this session is finally being used. Too bad that a Complete Chet Baker Barclay Recordings package couldn't be put together. Volumes 3 and 4 from this series are exceedingly rare. and too bad they forgot the print on the back of the digipac... there's only numbers and times and no titles... Quote
Claude Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 Couw , you must have a wrong print, mine looks like this: Quote
neveronfriday Posted May 29, 2004 Report Posted May 29, 2004 hmmm, here's mine...: Hey, John, a real collector's item. Just checked mine. Mine's also got all the print, etc. Where did you get your's? Quote
