even the Moncur "Evolution" RVG misspells it like "Crenshaw" too.

cool! Nice to see you here Terri. I remember emailing with you back in the Fantasy site days.

wow this stuff is ehh..............

that would be neat. As long as they don't mess with BN covers!

I got a notice my copy of Brad Mehldau's new one shipped. It's a legit email.

is this a live thing like every other Jarrett or his first studio date in about 10 years?

Excellent points, thats why it always made me sad in college, the kids into jazz would hear something like Joshua Redman "St. Thomas", and be blown away, and it is great, but they thought it was original. Because I'm one of the rare young adults that has grown up on jazz thanks to great taste on the parental end, I would tell them it owes great debt to Sonny Rollins in execution and style, and because they did not have that reference point, they would just kind of be like "oh."

I can hear it perfect. I'm 28.

I hope these guys get together again, or release another album from the tour, the set list was rather varied. Best thing though is staring at Jack's signature "TO CJ-Peace Jack DeJohnette" on the back cover :-D Which he signed for me a few years back. I should have had him sign a CTI album, that would have taken him back I'm sure!

Finally purchased the two discs off Ebay, sound clips are great. I was reading a Woody Shaw discography where the reviewer thought "Night Music" was a better album than "Master of The Art" which he felt was uninspired, but I don't get that sense from the sound samples at all. Looking forward to receiving them.

Wind Up Bird Chronicle is AMAZING! I read it in college for a class but now it is one of my favorites. Words cannot describe it, really.

are they going to do 24 bit reissues of Contemporary, Pablo and Galaxy stuff too? The only thing I can think they'd do with new Pablo 24 bit OJC's is restore the original covers.

I have not Bertrand, but I'm not sure what could top, at least for me Trio Beyond's release a few years back, which was also a Tony tribute.

Anyone have thougts on the second half of my post about the influence a few of these albums may have had on European free playing? Sangrey? "Gnostic" on "Some Other Stuff", I can hear the spaciousness of what would become the ECM sound on this tune.

I just finished spinning "BlowUp" from this. What I love is that Herbie's solo begins with a rather wacky variation of "Maiden Voyage" and at the close he slyly quotes "Cantaloupe Island". I guess with the mistake of hanging on one chord too long the performance and soloing is so good they decided not to do another take. I do too, but they certainly are different. Mighty big of Hutch to give Joe so much space on his dates. Nearly an hour of Chambers tunes (in total), if I remember correctly. I intended to make a CDR of all of them once, but never got around to it. I should at least remind myself of what all those Chambers tunes are (yes, I'm fishing to see if anybody already already has that list handy, or else I'll get to it myself one of these days). Third the Chambers tracks. In fact, I like the second half of Components waaay more than the first half. I'll publicly concur with Al's view, so he doesn't feel too isolated. I've always found those Chambers cuts to be overly difficult. I rather like the organ tone clusters on "Air". I wonder if "Dialogue", "Components" along with "Some Other Stuff by Grachan Moncur are some of the catalysts for the eventual European free improv movement? Because I hear in these albums a lot more of that kind of European approach to free playing, than say what Trane, Shepp, and Sanders were doing.

Amazon US does not have this set

oh man, that sucks! RIP

where can this box be purchased outside eBay?

man, another loss. Great stuff on those Trane/Garland Prestige sides. RIP

he's 20 something now right?

RIP

Definitely. Murray adds a lot to "For Eric". Jack is doing a Haiti benefit concert Saturday night in Bearsville if anyone around Woodstock wants to check it out. Wish I could go. Its too bad the album with Scofield and Goldings was a one off b/c I'd love to hear that group cut another record.

yeah! Jim posted this awhile back. Very funny.

Special Edition is a great album

Audio Technica ATHM 40FS are good too.
