What's interesting to me is John Kelman has told me the Japanese ECM discs are actually not signed off on by Manfred at all, remastering of ECM titles is done purely on a case by case basis.

I first knew Niki's work through her association with the Eurodance group Snap, remember them? I was liking the samples of "Alley Cats" too Dan, but thank you for your assessment. I am liking the GH and Philip Morris All Stars Live disc, I need to listen a bit closer, only ran thru it once but it really doesn't seem like much of a Gene Harris date as much as Gene in an all star jam session JATP-ish style presentation.

Is the Enlightenment label Fresh Sound/Lonehill also? Saw some Bill Evans 1956-62 set with his first (12?) albums that looked weird on Amazon.

Yes he is!!!

I have "Live" Gene Harris and the Philip Morris allstars on the way to me, and a real CD copy of "Plus 1", I want to retire the CDR I made from the emusic download ten years ago.

Like I said, I have +1 Smokin indeed. What about the "Big Band Soul" twofer?

I love that description Jim!!

Thanks for the recs so far!!

I used to have "Blue Hour", maybe I should get another copy.

Where to next? so far I have the following with Gene: Trio+ One 25th Fujitsu Concord Jazz Festival (GREAT set on disc 1 with his quartet then with Scott Hamilton on disc 2) 26th Fujitsu Concord Jazz Festival (nice big band set on disc 2) Ray Brown Trio: Live from New York to Tokyo (twofer with "Red Hot Ray Brown Trio" and "Bam Bam Bam" really great records) I know "Live at Otter Crest" is highly recommended

Good ol mainstream:for $4 for $3 on eBay

Another vote for "Extensions", add "Asante" to the list, in addition to Grant Green "Live at the Lighthouse", Elvin, ditto, and Bobby Hutcherson "Live at Montreux" which is a must.

Awesome

on the tune "Kuntu" and "Too High"? that's not a wah wah. it's some kind of an electronic device/delay. Yeah, those tunes

Freddie solos with a wah wah on "Gleam"

were you on crack? LOL, no

I enjoyed this book a lot, read it in 6 hours.

Word is the Wounded Bird transfers for the trio titles are the same as Herbie's Columbia box. The dynamic range rating of "Flood" was identical with the HDTracks release.

RIP, great voice

Awesome. Been waiting for this

Great stuff

Thank you! I recall there being differences between the K2 of Monk's Music and the OJC.

I bought a lot of 21 Monk discs on ebay for $40 which will enhance and fill holes in my Monk section nicely. I already have K2's of "Monk's Music" and "Misterioso" which of course are detailed, but not everyone likes the sound of. Would it be wise to hang onto both versions?
