Couldn't say it better. R.I.P.

Congrats. Sounds good!

I say it again, Pramsohler is the greatest. I will buy all of his CDs. Audax is his label, btw.

I love this one! Carmelo Garcia and Carlos Vidal are great.

I just remembered it: if you take a close look, Kenny is sitting on a large drum case.

I remember a photo of Kenny Clarke sitting on a drum case behind his kit, probably because he forgot to bring a seat, but that was not an album cover.

I once had an original Contemporary pressing of this LP, it sounded great.

Continuing with disc 8:

Still deep into the Bird Box. 22 LPs is a lot of stuff. Right now I'm at disc 7.

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!
