Which Rivers is in the set? I didn't manage to work that out... Ah. Got the LP. On CD ages ago right? Thanks. Yes, but I've not checked for it for a while. Heard a friend's LP years ago (it has one big, horrid scratch, alas) and thought it was real good.

Don't know that one ... but wins all prices with Coltrane and Lady Q, too! And that Concord album with Frank Foster pictured above is wonderful, get hold of it if you can!

I get free shipping from neighboring EU countries' amazon sites, too (.it, .fr and .de) - but no free return shipping ...

Oh, wow, must be because I'm not living in the EU then ... didn't know! Several times I returned items where postage cost me 15 or more euros and I got an automated refund for 1.40€ or something like that ... then complained (since I'd received faulty goods, like box-sets with a disc missing) and got the rest of the sum refunded, too - but at the post counter, I always paid myself.

If you have free shipping from amazon.de you can buy the set at pre-order price, keep it unsealed and then if the reviews are bad, return it. I think you have 30 days for return, and it should be free. But you do have to pay the shipping yourself (unless you receive damaged goods, then they give you a refund for the shipping expenses). With such a set, shipping won't be cheap ... (and in my case, add official bribing of what are known as the infamous custom nazis) No, it is free. At least here in Austria. really? I always paid fully for any returns ...

And that's a very good one! Also his Savoy recordings from the fifties. Got to dig them up again ...

Happy Birthday, Chris! Hope you're doing fine!

I just want the Rivers, damn you Universal!

Saw the Fresh Sound reissue of some (or all) of these, but I don't think I ever actually heard him play ... guess they're worth checking out?

oh no - very sad ... somehow I thought he'd stay around forever. http://tedpanken.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/a-2002-downbeat-profile-of-frank-wess-for-his-90th-birthday/

I've got an order held hostage by one pre-order item for two weeks or so now though - there seems to really be no logic behind it all. (And shipping together often isn't an option anyway, since no matter if you order through .fr, .de, .it or .co.uk, it may come from a Germany, France or the UK warehouse - don't think I ever had anything actually come from Italy, though I very often order there.)

a few more: Haynes is on four titles, including "One Mint Julep" - Sonny Payne is on the other six that's a very good one! that one's not quite that good, methinks (her Verve albums before Creed stepped in were mostly very good, some of them darn effin' unbelievable)

Very good, thanks!

Not sure that strategy will work - they might ship this when it's available, rather than wait (they have the tendendcy to ship larger sets separately anway - they might come from different warehouses, whatever ...)

Yes indeed!

Yeah, I thought about that...but something just doesn't sound right. There are tapes for the very first Hat Hut....but not the other two later ones they had to needle drop on? Uehlinger doesn't come across as someone who would throw out the original tapes....especially anything by McPhee. The whole thing started to record McPhee. It's like Chuck throwing out AACM related tapes, or any tapes. I wouldn't know if the tapes stood with Uehlinger or went with McPhee. Remember Uehlinger was a newbie then, he actually just made this McPhee record, then another one, and one more ... and eventually started his label, while still working a day job (which had initially led to his travels and the chance to meet McPhee in the first place). So it's not like he was this exacting record label guy from the git go, rather to me his story sounds like fortuna was in place, too. But why don't anyone send a mail to C vs D and inqire?

Thanks - I stumbled over that wirz.de listing a few minutes ago. Some of that does look nice! As for Western Swing ... I'll happily as for advice in some more appropriate place once I feel like digging deeper there (and hey, if you dig in good soil, you'll finde worms, there ... it's a good thing).

Thanks! Western Swing is a can of worms I've hardly opened yet ... don't plan to go there anytime too soon, just got the two Bob Wills JSP sets so far, they're very good.

It's another clemified thread (what a moronic thing that was, Mr. clem! too bad the board software allows for that at all!), so you will get some non sequiturs. What are those Krazy Kat reissues, don't know them!

same here ... she couldn't care less

Makes perfect sense ... and in light of the tons of stuff around here (and the good ones I expect yet to discover in Otter's catalogue), I definitely don't need that one!

they've got a website, too - but nothing there on the box (nothing much there anyway except for fancy looks): http://www.impulse50.com/ But HMV Japan has a small pic: and CDUniverse has a partial tracklist (up to disc 21): http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=8620770&style=music&fulltracklist=T anyway, at that price there's probably not close enough new stuff in there for me ...

Bumping this fine thread since ... ... a recommendation on another forum just prompted me to check out Buddy Johnson's band ... and for sure there's some fine blowing (I've got the 1947-49 Chrono disc) by these guys David Van Dyke and Purvis Henson!

How's the Otter/Mehldau? I love her singing but can't really imagine what this could be like ... apart from the Beatles, the tunes look like an interesting lot, too. But samples make me go "huh?", to be frank.
