I enjoyed it very much, but I also feel like he sometimes over-emphasizes the "critical" in "criticism".

No clue, but some names that have been floated include Keith Jarrett (Atlantic), Miff Mole, and Lucky Thompson.

I've been waiting over three weeks for a Movie Mars order, with no shipping notice or anything (even though my card was charged upon purchase). I sent an e-mail inquiry today but have yet to hear anything back.

I just shot them an order for the Bix and the Chambers Select.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't skeptical. I wouldn't be surprised to see them shut down in the next few years. But then again, I'm a pessimist when it comes to these things.

Granted, my mind is mostly made up re: buying this set, but I would still like to know how much overlap there is with the JSP Bix/Tram set as far as those 4 discs of material go; I know the Mosaic is a 7-disc.

I sent him a list of about a dozen titles. I'll be interested to see what's available still. I really hope I can grab that Lou Donaldson 4/5/6 record, I've been looking for that one.

Sounds like Tal Farlow's Verve sides fit the bill. There were released in their entirety in a 7xCD box set by Mosaic records, but that set is now out of print. Arguably the best album collected therein, The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow, is still available separately. There are also two compilation discs that cover this period, Verve Jazz Masters 41 and Tal Farlow's Finest Hour, both of which can be found on Amazon.

I'd like to get some early Torme material-- any recommendations on which discs give the best overview of his early sides with the Mel-Tones, on Musicraft, etc.?

Stopped by the consignment store and grabbed this on CD: Plus a few odd LPs: Dave Brubeck Quartet/Jay & Kai at Newport (Columbia) Joe Newman + Wess, Foster et al - The Count's Men (Jazztone) Manny Albam Orchestra + The First Modern Piano Quartet - A Gallery of Gershwin (Coral) The Perasuasive Trombone of Urbie Green and his Orchestra (Command) Not sure what to expect out of those last two. The Piano Quartet consists of Eddie Costa, Johnny Costa, Dick Marx and Hank Jones. Not bad for a 10 minute speed-scan of their disorganized and unreliable stacks.

Yep, nothing here. I'm contacting them.

A question: Is there anything NOT on these discs that IS on the Bill Evans Riverside box? Also, am I forgetting anything? Tenderly New Jazz Conceptions Everybody Digs Bill Evans On Green Dolphin Street Portrait In Jazz Explorations The Complete Live at the Village Vanguard Solo Sessions Vols. 1 & 2 How My Heart Sings! Moonbeams Know What I Mean? Interplay Loose Blues Live at Shelley's Manne Hole Time Remembered I'd love to get the box one day, but I'm 3/4 of the way there with the individual issues, so I'll continue on with those.

You mean they'll get halfway through the same old titles before discontinuing the series.

PM on Patton.

Jackie McLean - Hipnosis 2xLP, 6.95 on ebay. Just when I felt like I was getting closer to having all of Jackie's Blue Notes, I did a rescan of his discography and realized I still have quite a ways to go. Oh well.

I got mine from this Canadian seller, who seems to keep it in stock: http://cgi.ebay.com/CHARLIE-HADEN-MONTREAL-TAPES-6CD_W0QQitemZ110500351219QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_CDs?hash=item19ba558cf3#ht_2870wt_1144

I hope so, I'm still waiting for the Coltrane Impulse AlbumsVol. 4 set.

Oh, and Jazzland!

I was wondering how they would manage to shill the Contemporary and Fantasy titles. This is ridiculous.

Yes, by 'Jazz Workshop' I meant Right Now. Still need to grab the Great Concert and Monterrey discs.

Mingus Sextet - "Meditations" I'd heard the versions from Cornell and the Jazz Workshop, but the piece never made much of an impression on me until I stumbled on this video earlier in the week (I've been on a big Mingus kick). I returned to the Cornell verison with a renewed appreciation for this truly stunning composition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOd4TlP7MP8

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but Amazon is now offering On-Demand CD-Rs of many OOP BS/SN titles for $9.90 or less.

Howdy to all. My google alert for "esp-disk" brought me here. Have you received that Holy Ghost box yet? I am the only one doing shipping, so I had TONS of orders to pack up. I didn't send out the box sets until end of last week / early this week. Cheers! Not yet, but maybe today...I'll have to see when I get off work. I can tell you've got a lot on your plate, so I appreciate the hard work you've been doing. It's no worry, I'm sure the box will turn up within the next couple days. Thanks for checking in!

Still waiting on the Holy Ghost box I bought over 2 weeks ago ...

Is this your first listen to From the Soul? If so, enjoy! Such a great session. Order from reckless.com plus:
