Grabbed the files last night, too ... silly to make them WAVs and so huge, but I'm not complainin'!

I've really made heavy use and often looked up stuff in the "Coltrane Reference" (bought the hardcover edition in Aug 2011) - but I'm devastated to realize there should have been a photo insert all the way (un-numbered betweetn p. 394 and 395). Amazon declares itself free of any obligation after two years ... now I sent a note to Routledge. I never ever spent such an amount on any other single book ... really am pissed (no booze involved, mind me) big time! Do all those of you who bought it have okay copies? Not sure how many there are, took me weeks to make up my mind, too ... but I've not regretted it, it's a terriffic source.

Very sorry to hear this, Bebop. Wishing you much strenght and all the very best!

That was my assumption and why I posted the link.

Not that much of a fan of the one Staier disc I've got: It's very much okay to hear another approach, but it doesn't reach the heights some of the old guys do ... at least that is my perception. Guess I should try Lahusen, too.

I've bought the Radu Lupu box a few months ago ... have never systematically started exploring it, but must have played at least half of it ... excellent, I'd say! His recordings of the two sets of Impromptus is included as well and is wonderful. Other than that, inevitably: Schnabel! His D 960 is one of those life-changing experiences to be gained from music - in my book at least. There are also two that Jorge Bolet recorded (D 959 and D 784), available on a Decca CD (or as part of the dirt-cheap box set, wish that had been around when I searched for Bolet recordings). There's also a recent reissue on Arcana of Paul Badura-Skoda's complete recording on period instruments (rec. early/mid 90s). I bought it, but have not listened to any of it yet, so can't say anything.

Yes, she can swing and has an incredible jazz talent Shawnn performed with all the big names in jazz. Like whom? Count, Duke, Bird, Trane, Miles? But I guess since this is one of these "anyhting goes" threads, we needn't mind too much As for "living", my personal favorite besides Merrill (she did some gigs this year in spring, a night at the Village Vanguard and a few concerts in Japan - wish I'd been there!) is probably Elina Duni, though I guess she does not qualify as "jazz" singer in many a book. Also Susanne Abbuehl, who in her own way continues what Jeanne Lee (one of her teachers/mentors) did. And then there's Sheila Jordan, too!

Helen Merrill!

disc four - After Hours at the London House + No Count Sarah Wonderful music! This box certainly is one of my favorite reissues this year!

Sad news. Dave Douglas wrote this in 2008, after Morgan had suffered a stroke: http://www.greenleafmusic.com/pianistcomposer-nate-morgan/ Some more links here: http://stompbeast.blogspot.ch/

Ornette Coleman - The Empty Pot Hole

Yes, exactly! Sorely missed!

What was the name of that one huge used CD store that closed shop a few years back? Big loss in my eyes, I perused it often ... there's so much you can get for reasonable prices in the US but can't over here ... but with the 14 or 15 bucks shipping per item, amazon marketplace isn't quite that much of an option in many cases.

Cannonball Adderley - Nothin' Else Jackie McLean - 'Bout Dough Duke Pearson - Honey Bunny not to forget: Lou Donaldson - The Sammich

Is Mosaic planning a 'Complete Moms Mabley recordings on Chess' box? MG Watch out, the next Jazz Icons box will be the complete Whoopi Goldberg ... (she your wife by any chance?)

They started deleting some entries that remained the same over several editions, eventually (don't know from what edition on, prob. 7th or 8th). Kind of makes sense, since they operated under the assumption that most readers would have previous editions ... and in light that the book could not just grow bigger and fatter, I guess it was the only way to be able and include new stuff. (Though they could also just have done one without all the over-rated british trad jazz, mind me )

sorry, more bad news, none of those is with Abbey, you can find all info here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Green/green-disc.php the August 2001 is given as 18th, not as 1st, btw. I also just ran a search on the dime-bot list - which lists all (well, not quite, there are gaps, but ...) shows added to dimeadozen ... the only hit for the song is the Salzau one by Bunky Green - that show was televised before it came out officially and the video recording was on dime ... no Abbey Lincoln shows that include this song. This is NOT conclusive, mind me ... some shows come without or with partial setlists, but still, I guess it's rather unlikely to find anything here.

Can that be applied to aussies living abroad? I'd be happy to fill some forms ...

Not sure Ubu. Anything specifically to give this away? - looks like a regular CD to me. Well, the previous set (Tempo, 6CD, I think?) was ... the discs have a slightly greenish or blueish "tan" and no - or different - numbers in the inner circle. I'm not totally opposed to selling/buying CD-Rs, but I think that should be declared.

CD-R again if you don't mind my asking?

guess if it existed AND was in circulation, it would be listed here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Lincoln/al-disc.php

... that's the word it seems ...

Big Ansermet box just out on Decca, 32 discs, "French Music" (can't find it on amazon nor on the Decca homepage): http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Decca/4807898 might be interesting, repertoire-wise, but I'm not sure I need *that* much of it .... opinions?

Okay, so I *do* know him (from enjoying a lot those BB liners - assuming they're the same that are in the Anniversary box). Thanks for filling me in, adds a lot to the credubilality or whatever that's called. Will have to finish reading the review tonight ...
