Still deep into the Bird Box. 22 LPs is a lot of stuff. Right now I'm at disc 8.

Where did you get that one? Marquez' danzones are some of the most fascinating orchestral music I ever heard.

That happened to me only twice so far. They end up as birthday or Christmas presents for a befriended couple (they always say, they'd starve musically without me). No I alway checks before ordering anything. Baoque music bargains are a dangerous field in this respect.

Pres!

No - just this one edition, limited to 300 copies. Price may vary depending on the condition of the outer box, which is too feeble to hold the weight of 22 LPs. I had to reinforce mine with clear adhesive tape. The selection of recordings is very collector friendly - everything issued on Spotlite, Savoy, Blue Note etc, was left out. There was, btw, another 22 LP box with Lester Young live recordings, the Pres Box. I wish I would have been into Pres back then as I was into Bird. Today I would trade my Bird Box for the Pres box any time. https://www.discogs.com/release/6256072-Lester-Young-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order

Listening through this - I think I will sell it. Many raities, but when will I listen to all of this again? This probably is the third time I pulled zhis from the shelf since I bought it 40 years ago. https://www.discogs.com/release/11241299-Charlie-Parker-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order Now if this was the Pres bix ......

https://www.discogs.com/release/11241299-Charlie-Parker-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order Decided to pull this off the shelf and listen while assembling a new piece of furniture to complement my book shelves that arried three days early ...

Now which discs are y'all looking for right now?

I don't expect any help in locating the diplaced items, but I find it somewhat interesting, and it takes some steam off my mind as it bugs me. Right now I just can't seem to find these three: The 2003 CD reissue - doesn't bug me that much, as I recently bought the new deluxe edittion. I sorted out the latter two for a birthday party of a friend who asked for favourite "songs" to be played at the party, but obviously never put them back into place.

Done!

So this is a good way to get an impression of Whiteman? I only have the Capitol sides:

Great, detailed research, as always!

Video of the three tracks recorded for French TV in 1961:

You can always ask me to edit/revise the list in the opening post. As a moderator I can do that.

Just read about it on Facebook. R.I.P.

The first six tracks were an Eddie Harris LP on VeeJay: I wanted to have that for a long time, and this compilation was the easiest way to find it on CD. Schifrin was the most outfageous of all bossa nova pianists! Highly recommended. Jordi Pujol's liner notes are a perfect outline of Schifrin's career.

Good stuff! Kenny Clarke really drives the band here.

This video was posted here. It taught me how great an organist Scott was, and how much drive she had. https://youtu.be/88UI6EcBWPY?si=DRoW19HKgBWpdJNt

I must admit that I am completely unfamiliar with most on the lisr!

I didn't mean to put down BSN - they do some serious work with love and engagement. It's just that it's of limited use if you want to compile a serious session-based discography like I do with the BRIAN software.

I didn't know about this. Thanks for mentioning. I must get a copy.
