I have played at Heist-op-den Berg a few times with Karel Velebný SHQ in mid 70thies. There was an important jazz person, club organizer and LPs collector. Unfortunately I forgot his name (Willy?).
His LPs collection was enormous - close to 4000 LPs, perhaps more. Never seen anything like that in private hands.
Yes, exactly! Now I remember Juul Anthonissen 😀 !!!
Your father was a good friend with Karel Velebný. Is Juul still around?
Karel unfortunately left us already on March 1989, so he couldn’t see the end of commie government in CZ. Since Karel was really on good terms with Vaclav Havel, I am sure that he could became the very first jazz minister of culture in 90 thies …
Man I think you buried/omitted the lede here... almost two choruses of Ware trading using his bass as percussion?! I've never heard that on straight ahead jazz from the 50s, I guess i assumed some early jazz people maybe did it as an effect, but i'd still guess this has to be one of the earliest examples of it! I wonder if Barre Phillips heard this...
Wow had never heard this one. It seems like Blakey gets the prize for playing the most Monk quotes that day.
nice comment!

Hello Emil, good to hear from you! I presume you are talking about my late father Juul Anthonissen? Best! Peter Anthonissen

Art Blakey is indeed sensational on this, a continuous contrapuntal unfolding. Great article, thanks Ethan!
I just found a digital version of this online for practically nothing!
