I've got a 4 day ticket for Lancs vs. Middlesex at the real Old Trafford in September. Hoping to see Jimmy Anderson bowl.

Just listened to disc IV Mel Powell in various combinations. What a delightful music. Part is Mainstream meets Tristano (tracks 9-14). Braff at his best. A truly delightful disc.

I would order it.

Just started disc one. Ray Bryant wasn't on my radar before. He is now.

Mine just arrived.

My often played copy is not perfect. It has hiccups during 'Hittin' the bottle' take. It's not a disaster if the booklet is missing. I have that. But the CD must be perfect. I also looked at Discogs and other websides to no avail. International I use Paypal. Within Europe I can also pay by bank transfer (IBAN)

Just received an e-mail announcing the Classic Vanguard Jazz Piano Sessions a 6 CD set. With Tho Jo Jones Trio With Tommy Bryant, Sir Charles Quartet and Trio,Bobby Henderson solo, various Mel Powell groups and the Ruby Braff Ellis Larkins duets. Classic Vanguard Jazz Piano Sessions Limited Edition Box Set (#281 - 6 CDs) -

The Vanguard set. Disc 6. I was underwhelmed by the first 2 discs. i can't put my finger on it why. Sir Charles Thompson has a good session. Joe Newman session great. Buck Clayton never disappoints me. Neither does Jimmy Rushing. Sound quality is great.

I would have loved that. But it's a hell of a commute from Europe.

My CC has been charged. Just waiting for the shipment confirmation.

One of my favorites Old King Dooji

I just got a mail from Mosaic announcing Classic Vanguard Small Group Swing Sessions. Featuring sessions by Vic Dickenson, Ruby Braff, Sir Charles Thompson, Joe Newman, Buck Clayton, Jo Jones, Jimmy Rushing and A night at Count Basie's. 7 CD's. A second set featuring piano sessions will follow. From the website: Michael Cuscuna was very much involved in the direction of this set and it is one of the last that he produced. -Scott Wenzel

That is probably just a typo

My set is due at Tuesday.

Mine too

This is the track listing on Peter Losin website: Bird in Kansas City (Verve 06024 6804735) (plosin.com)

These recordings are now in the public domain in the USA because they are a 100 years old. Yes they have been reissued umpteen times. but with the addition of recordings influenced by Oliver and recordings from Armstrongs own collection makes this a must have for me. The rest of King Olivers recordings are not in the public domain in the USA. Therefore Archeophone can not issue them. And moste are electronically recorded and thus outside the scope of Archeophone. They are available from the Frog label: DGF 34 King Oliver Vocalion & Brunswick recordings volume 1 Sugarfoot stomp DGF 35 King Oliver Vocalion & Brunswick recordings volume 2 Farewell blues DGF 64 The complete Victor recordings volume 1 Call of the freaks DGF 65 The complete Victor recordings volume 2 New Orleans shout DGF 68 King Oliver Blues singers & hot bands on Okeh 1924-1929 Three missing alternate takes are on: DGF 71 Frog spawn the first batch These CD's do not contain the 2 sides with Jelly Roll Morton and the accompaniment by Oliver and 2 Ida Cox sides on Paramount. The duets with Jelly Roll Morton are on Jazz Oracle BDW 8065 Jelly Roll Morton rarities.

Pre ordered it. And ordered the Ford Dabney 2 CD set as well.

It runs from 14-5-1937 until 26-10-1937. Wich is the last session of 1937. 49 tracks and no mistakes I'm happy to report.

No but Frog does not flood the marked. So I still buy them.

Yes I did. A dud if ever there was one.

I have a copy of that record. I'll see if I can make an mp3 of it in the weekend. The label is signed Gil Evans. Listening to it is suffering for science.

Sad to hear this R.I.P.
