I have noticed a lot of interest lately in Pat Metheny's touring dates.
An associate of mine publishes a quarterly newsletter for Gary Burton and
one for Pat Metheny (endorsed and including contributions by both
artists). 

These newsletters include all kinds of information regarding tour dates,
upcoming releases, record reviews, etc. If you would like more
information about these, please send a snail-mail request to:

Hi,

I will be in Brussels from 17. to 20.9. and I would like to see some
Jazz and buy some good second hand records (not only Jazz). Any
suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Heh.  Well, Greg Sandow compared them to Webern, it's true, but I've
never heard anyone repeat that.  Is this from a press release?

I was at these "farewell" shows and they were not representative of
DNA at the top of their form.  Still, I have to admit to looking
forward to this.  And they did close with an, er, interpretation of
"Whole Lotta Love" on each night.

Re. Zorn's catalog, a record store-owner friend of mine showed me a
fax he had received from Zorn.  Not only will all his subsequent output
be available only through his own sub-DIW label, but he's taking all
his *back* catalog and handing it to Japanese labels (four of them, if
I remember correctly).  So not only will you be paying $20-30 for the
new stuff, but if you're missing some of the Elektra/Nonesuch titles
you might want to run down to your local retailer.

I guess I'd have to hear this.  McCoy has not normally impressed me with his

Almost certainly "Up Jumped Spring".

A guess - "Recorda Me".

I have two CD's of Masekela's:

"Uptownship" BMG / Novus 1989. 3070-2-N

A mix of South African jazz/pop with a techie edge,
there's some electronic keyboards and processing in the mix.

"Tomorrow" Warner Bros. 1987. 9 25566-2

Has some live performances and studio mixes. Includes
the tune `Stimela' (Coal Train), which is one of his more famous
tunes.

There's a new one out by Masekela which I haven't heard for yet.

I know that one of her first recordings, NANCY WILSON/CANNONBALL ADDERLEY
is on Capitol CD. I see it around kind of randomly. I quite enjoy the
album, even with it's artificial vocal, instrumental, vocal,... structure.

A week or two back someone posted a rave review of a 3-CD SRV boot here
and there were a number of people asking how to get it. I looked through
the latest Goldmine and found only one dealer advertising it (Note: it's
probably available through most of the dealers advertising boots even
though they don't specifically list it)

I'm posting info from the ad here for those who asked - HOWEVER, if you
order you do so at your OWN RISK! I've never ordered from this company
or had any dealings with them at all. That disclaimer aside I can add that
I've never had any problems with any boots I've ordered from other 
Goldmine advertisers (other than LONG order processing times) and this 
particular dealer HAS advertised regularly for quite a while if memory
serves me well.

Anyway here's the line from the ad:

  3 CD VAUGHAN, STEVIE RAY  Mega Rare Trax Vol 1 LOBCD 035 LOBST  $41.00

Postage is a whopping $10 ($6 first CD, $2 each of the other two). Maybe
not so bad for air mail from Germany, I don't know.

The company is:

Like Sandeep, I have only a handful of original issue ESP lps. This
happens to be one of them. The sound is quite good on this record --
somewhat echo-y, presumably due to the acoustics of Town Hall, but
with very realistic instrumental tonalities: crisp drums, biting alto
sax, and clear bass. Maybe a little edgy and a little thinner in the
bass than it should be, but I have the feeling this was about as good
as jazz concert recordings got in the early 60s. I haven't heard the
cd. 

   the original master being good and available. Paul Bley's BARRAGE
   seems to have been taken from a clean vinyl copy and even then the
   remastering isn't good.


Bley himself is very down in the mix on this one, which seems a little
odd. I haven't heard the original -- in fact, I've never even seen a
copy. Possibly the original sounds the same? There's some fine playing
on here, though, esp by Milford Graves, and Bley (where you can hear
him). 

The trio record by Bley (w/Altschul and Swallow) has much cleaner
sound, and is also recommended musically. It's quite different from
BARRAGE, though: much more restrained, with shorter, more direct
pieces (mostly composed by Carla). Bley is typically oblique in his
peculiar, low-key way. I like this one a lot. It's also very short,
under 30 minutes (like BARRAGE); recorded in 1965 (BARRAGE is from
'64). 


The other ZYX I picked up was Sunny Murray's untitled date (the second
under his own name, apparently), from 1966. Aside from Alan Silva on
bass, the rest of the band is new to me - in fact, I don't remember
any of their names! I wasn't overly impressed with this disc, though
it's always a pleasure to listen to Murray. The horns seemed to be
fumbling through most of this.

According to the liner notes, Murray's first record under his own name
features Albert Ayler and Don Cherry! Now there's a record I'd like to
find some day...

Toots Thielemans is, as far as I know, considered the best harmonica
player in jazz music.  I particularly like his record together with Bill
Evans; it has been released on CD too, but I don't remember the title
(might be "Affinity", but I am not sure).  It features a marvellous

Who appears is an interesting question.  I think that Priestley claims
in his biography of Mingus that Mingus and the producer (was it
Keepnews?, my copy is at home) forgot to keep a record of who played
on the date OR that they kept a record and 'somebody' threw it away

It is relatively late Mingus, of course.  Rather arranged (more like
Epitaph) but not all of the arranging was done by Mingus himself.  The
ensemble is large, maybe the largest (see above note to explain the
qualifier) that Mingus himself worked with except perhaps for the
messed up early Epitaph.  A couple of pieces here are among my
favorite scored Mingus compositions, but I could really do without the
animal sound effects on Don't Be Afraid.  Although there are several
albums that Mingus claimed were his 'favorites' (Tijuana being
another) Let My Children is the last one he said this about.

B.McFerrin is great: this albums are quite diverse: "Spontaneous

demonstration of that voice), "Simple Pleasures" (the one with the annoying 
IYHO Don't Worry Be Happy (not in my opinion - its just unfortunately been

go to a place called CD warehouse in the Johannesburg suburb of Rosebank - 
they have them all!

Branford's albums have, to me, been more consistent than Wynton's, despite
Branford's obvious growth as a player and as leader.  Most everything Branford
has done is in the same vein as "Crazy People Music", except the semi classical
album "Romances" and the two trio albums ("Trio Jeepy" and "The Beautyful Ones
Are Not Yet Born".  "Random Abstract" is similar, but, in my opinion, weaker.
"Rennaisance" and "Royal Garden Blues" are more traditional bop oriented, with
more standards and fewer originals.

I personally like Wynton's early albums much more than "Majesty" and virtually
anything else he's done since, say, 1987.  He's on fire for parts of "Wynton
Marsalis" and "Think Of One", and "Black Codes" has its moments as well.  The
presence of Kenny Kirkland helps enormously.  Branford plays on these as well,
although he isn't really showcased the way he is with his own quartet.  Also,
if you can find the "Herbie Hancock Quartet" featuring Wynton, that is pretty
fiery as well.  But if you prefer the more restrained "Majesty", then you'll
probably also like the trilogy "Soul Gestures In Southern Blues" or whatever
the pompous (there, I said it :-) title he & Stanley Crouch came up with is.

Speaking of the Crouch-man, I just picked up a reissue of some Ahmad Jamal
sides called "Poinciana".  I'm not sure if this is related to any album of that
name that might have been released decades ago - these are trio recordings with
guitar and bass from the early 1950's.  Anyhow, the reissue notes are by
Stanley, and did you know Ahmad Jamal is the single most influential jazz
musician since Charlie Parker?  I certainly didn't, and I'll bet neither Miles
nor Trane nor Ornette nor anyone else did, either.  I'm glad Stanley
straightened me out on that!  Time to update the primer; I had left him out
entirely (admittedly an oversight, but...)
