Mine shipped today from the UK distributor (Discovery Records). A good organisation to order from. Always worth checking out their price for Fresh Sound, Gambit etc. etc.

Worlds Records shows it available now.

Having it there is certainly an advantage.

If you put enough of an order together (more than $35) to get free shipping, it might work.

Otherwise it's $21.25 (incl. shipping) for the one disc.

Just received and playing now.

I use Worlds Records a lot. Using the free shipping makes it close enough in price to other sites, and they get European items before other sites, and their selection and inventory is top notch.

Finally received a shipping notice from Amazon.

Finally got around to listening to this. Quite nice. Made me go and listen to the Don Lanphere-Fats Navarro material, which I really really like--reminded me of it.

finally got mine today - spinning now, sounds very relaxed, low-key... more like an informal session at the Open Door than a real studio session intended for release as a whole album... but I guess that atmosphere is a big part of Fruscella's fascination, it's all over his few recordings.

I went with amazon.fr - took them quite a while, too...

[AllenLowe]

now I'm waiting for the damned Morton CD - Worlds Records says it'll be at least a few more weeks.

What's your experience with previous dealings (promptness of shipping, 100% fulfilling of orders, etc.) with jpc, if any? I am considering placing an order with them for 1 or 2 CDs that for some reason are significantly more expensive on Amazon (even with their marketplace sellers).

[king ubu]

jpc is usually *very* reliable.

And very easy to deal with if there are any issues.

Can't guarantee for 100% fulfillment of orders though, haven't ordered anything too special/rare/japanese/expensive there.

A couple of secondhand CDs appeared at my favorite record shop a few days ago. They have disappeared by now!

[king ubu]

@Allen: what Morton CD? Jelly Roll with Fru?

[mikeweil]

JPC is dependent on Fresh Sound's German distributor, which is not the fastest company in the business ...

I have noticed that many titles are available from Fresh Sound directly, but hit the German retailers only several weeks later. Seems they import a whole container at a time ....

[jazzbo]

I believe this is what Allen is referring to:

[AllenLowe]

that's the one -

[king ubu]

ok, but why does it come up in the Fru/Bru-thread? me slow, me dumb, me no get it....

[jazzbo]

My guess: Because it too is eagerly anticipated.

A short but sound review by Doug Ramsey here:

[Niko]

the comments to the review are worth reading as well!

Yes - especially re: Don Joseph.

[Simon8]

listening now -

1) nice session but not quite tip top Moore. Even Fruscella, who generally is fine, has a few hesitant moments. But let me say something important, which is that Bill Triglia, who was a friend of mine, is one of the best pianists of that era. Listen to his work on this.

2) Interesting quotes from two musicians I knew in the 1970s, both with whom I was speaking about Fruscella, though at separate times:

"Tony was playing that way BEORE Miles, and he also had it together before Miles." - Bill Triglia (see above)

"I knew Fruscella! He was doing that Miles thing BEFORE Miles was doing it." - Sir John Godfrey (drummer)

this is highly recommended; the musicians sound a little off balance, maybe tired or under-rehearsed (or stoned?); though even Triglia sounds a little hesitant at times and he was straight as an arrow; whatever the cause, this is very precious stuff. I love the '50s in jazz.

Hello !

What album (leader or sideman) would you recommend to hear Brew Moore at his best ? I really enjoy his playing here.

re: Don Joseph - It would be great if Uptown reissues "One of a Kind": a chance to hear Bill Triglia as well (really like his subtly incisive, intelligent contributions, on this and on Fruscella's self-titled album).
