Indeed! We had the chance to have him and the "Dear Miles" set in 2008 in Athens, Greece. Two photos from the concert are attached. 2008/09 was very jazzy in Athens: in 4 months we had Hancock, Shorter, Carter, Al Foster and Corea/McLaughlin Peace Band. Happy Birthday Mr. Carter! Alex

Many thanks for your responses!

Dear friends I shall highly appreciate if you could recommend me jazz recordings by artists of newer generations. I am in a Ron Carter mood lately and try to purchase his post 1995 recordings (of which 90% is either deleted or only from japan). From the ones I found I was amazed by the playing, apart from Mr Carter's, of "younger" artists such as Russell Malone, Mulgrew Miller, Stephen Scott. So, I shall be very happy to discover more recordings by them or featuring them and other names of these generations. Many thanks! Alex

I'll check it out when Greek economics shall ameliorate ...:-)) Thanks for the link! I enjoyed the Boogie Woogie Select yesterday a lot. Amazing transfers. AR

Postal strike wouldn't have anything to do with it, would it? MG still waiting, I am getting convinced that this one is lost/delayed in transit. I'll give it a few more days before troubling the "new Cindy" (aka Fred) My order from November 2009 was lost in the mail (Artie Shaw, Boogie Woogie Select, Randy Weston Select). Fred sent me a replacement order which arrived today, but without the Weston Select which was deleted in the meantime... What happened to your package? AR

Many thanks! I already placed my order for the Fuller set. Curtis Fuller was scheduled to play here in Athens 2 weeks ago bur heatlh problems of his wife made him cancel. Pity... Alex

I like this Cd very much and I am very fond of the Funkallero that opens it!! I managed to find an excellent used copy at e-bay a year ago for about $15.-- after loosing several auctions that ended far above than 50 to 60 dollars. Happy that this has been finally re-issued Best Alex

Just released by Hip-O Select. Is the price justified, compared to previous releases? http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Commodore-D...6526&sr=1-1 Many thanks Alex

A new CD version to be released in January 2010 by El (?) records as per amazon and jpc.de stores! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ER&v=glance Best alex

Dear All Many thanks for your time doing these suggestions! Best Alex

Yes!!!

Yes, but you have to buy 2 articles from their promotion list... Many thanks for the info Alex

A friend of mine who is deep in soul and not at all in jazz, listened and liked Donald Byrd's "A new perpsective". Can you assist me in proposing similar recordings to him? Many thanks! Best Alex

Many thanks! It is crazy how the Bill Evans Album rare is on the Legacy CD. Do you know of any other edition? "Funkallero" from thta album is unsurpassable, IMO. Best Alex

Cue for me to recommend Mark Gardner's very good article on Curtis Counce's recordings in this month's 'Jazz Journal'. Those Counce albums are all great but I've got a particular soft spot for 'Exploring The Future' on Dootone. Worth it just for the cover art ! I love this one: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:gzfexqygldhe You Get More Bounce with Curtis Counce and a GREAT sleeve: You get more bounce

Well done. My first Mosaic Select was the Brookmeyer set that I listen very often to. Highly recommended as the Bud Shank/Cooper set is. Alex

Very sad news. Some days ago I was listening to Blowin' Country w./ Bob Cooper; what a superb record! Rest in peace.

Amazing album. Highyl recommended. I bought some years ago a release of it that had the CD as well a DVD on Mulligan reaching masterclasses etc. Alex

All my thanks! Problem is that there are different numbers on front/spine and then the back. I think most of us will go for the number on front and spine. So Crolla becomes 04, Jean-Marie is 05 and Anachronic Jazz Band is 06. Oops, Crolla may have 06 on the front, but I am pretty sure it does have 04 on the spine. I'll check again tonight. It's really only a problem for the truly obsessed. The truly obsessed can always check the excellent site by a former Organissimo forums participant (Bonjour Volkher ) Jazz in Paris There is a note there on the numbering confusions in the recent releases.

Many thanks! After a research at Amazon.fr I got the following titles for the Hors Serie JIP releases. Check the list that follows. My problem is that, judging from the sleeves at Amazon, the Anachronic and Alain releases have the same 05 number, while there is no volume 04! Can you clarify this matter? Many thanks!

Agree! I just received and listened to the CTI Cd "Big Blues" with Art Farmer: MARVELOUS!! I really enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommended. Long Live Jim Hall Alex
