> In the personal list, you may see some familiar names.  Co-director
> Philippe Baudoin (p) is a pianist jazz historian that authored
> "Anthologie des Grilles de Jazz - 1500 Morceaux - De Scott Joplin à
> John Coltrane."  If you are a rhythm section player, this collection
> is a must.
>  Co-director Marc Richard (cl; saxes) has been very active on the
>  music
> scene since these recordings most recently directing the Paris Swing
> Orchestra, an EXCELLENT vocal oriented big band.  Daniel Huck (as,
> voc) is just a musical monster.  He is a must see player.  I get the
> honor of playing with him a couple of times a year.  Daniel Barda (tb)
> is of Paris Washboard and Watergate 7 fame.  Patrick Artero (tp),
> André Villéger (cl, saxes) and Dominique Vernhes (saxes) are all big
> money players.  Have any of you ever run into any of these guys??

> OK, here are the tunes in MP3 format (stereo 192kbps).  These are big

> * Round Midnight -
> http://www.mayakiser.com/ajb/cd1/02-Round_Midnight.mp3 - I don't care
> what anyone says, almost everything Monk wrote is wonderful. Rather
> than a ballad, the AJB treats this as a bouncy 2-beat medium. *
> Anthropology - http://www.mayakiser.com/ajb/cd1/03-Anthropology.mp3-
> Here is a fun raucous version of a Gillespie/Parker standard. * Blue

> Here Marc Richard doubles Patrick Artero on trumpet to give this bop
> tune an Oliver flavor. * Joy Spring -
> http://www.mayakiser.com/ajb/cd1/11-Joy_Spring.mp3 - You could
> probably fool some folk into believing this is Whiteman here.  Though,
> the trumpet solo isn't too Bixesque. * Duke Idea -
> http://www.mayakiser.com/ajb/cd1/12-Duke_Idea.mp3 - An original bluesy
> tune by Philippe Baudoin and Daniel Huck. * Anachronic Stomp -
> http://www.mayakiser.com/ajb/cd1/13-Anachronic_Stomp.mp3 - A fun
