  1. Here are the next two Moochin' boxes coming up: Jazz On Film...Chet Baker ICON SERIES, Featuring - I Soliti Ignoti, Audace Colpo Dei Soliti, Urlatorialla Sbarra, Intrigo A Los Angeles & Smog http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jazz-Film-Chet-Baker-Featuring/dp/B00FXWC1NO/ Dec. 2 release Jazz On Film...Biopics, feat The James Dean Story, The Gene Krupa Story, The Five Pennies, Young Man With A Horn, The Glenn Miller Story, The Benny Goodman Story, The Eddy Duchin Story http://www.amazon.co.uk/Biopics-Pennies-Miller-Goodman-Duchin/dp/B00G26XARG/ Jan 6 release. Also, I don't know what "gettin' the plaudits" has to do with which one you rather ought to get ... seems it's pretty clear here that the wrong one gets the plaudits, if the terms "right" and "wrong" need be applied (they're wrong for this entire topic anyway). Need to add that I don't have any of these so far and am not sure I need them ...
  2. What about this one? http://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00EYPQ4SY/ I've only heard very little of Richter's Bach, but this looks interesting to me!
  3. March 13, 1959? Probably some sad stuff to listen to - but I'd still like to hear it!
  4. To me, there's hardly any other than high order Griff, really (okay, I don't know ALL his later records)! But still this one hasn't caught my attention as much as several others of his Riversides have.
  5. Just caught this over in the Jimmy Giuffre thread, missed is when originally posted: Do you have any specifics? Would that have been Pres and a French trio (Urtreger)? Someone should really pull together all the scraps (those Jones-Smith alternates, the Library of Congress recording, this one from France ...) and release it!
  6. MOPDTK is style over substance ... empty hipster crap. Didn't take me long to figure that out, after a first, rather positive impression, it quickly faded (thought The Cherry Thing was the same ... though The Thing as a group definitely has a few things going for it, way more than MOPDTK).
  7. Not among Griffin's best, I'd say ... but it's still very much okay.
  8. o tempora o mores
  9. LA Times obit: http://www.latimes.com/obituaries/la-me-frank-wess-20131102,0,7824009.story#axzz2jZiCdlHM
  10. Yeah, pictured above ... forgot about it, got that one as well. Furthermore, he pops up on a session on the "1951" Chrono by James Moody.
  11. You can hear him in an early outing as a violin player on a Kenny Clarke session, too - got that one as part of "Klook's the Man" (Proper 4CD). Other than that, I've got exactly what you've got.
  12. it's not quite late November yet ...
  13. I'll get a replacement for the lost Gaslini whenever it's available again ... but damn, I've had a whole load of back luck with amazon orders last week, this was the worst.
  14. I can very much relate to that ... also to your previous post of course - about need (or lack thereof) to hear stuff at home vs. in concert. I play less and less contemporary avantgarde-leaning music at home. Tough I keep buying some kinds of. My Leo discs get few spins only, and honeslty I've not heard all the ten I ordered in last year's sale. Still I am tempted to get a few again this time ... filling some Taylor, Sun Ra, Art Ensemble gaps, maybe. Will have to inspect that list a little closer first though (and check if I still have my wantist from last year somewhere - probably not, so it's going from scratch again).
  15. Gee, get those international orders in the mail now, willya? I can hardly hold off listening to the files - which I got without any trouble, there was an error message on the first page, but if you pursue, you can still access them (might be worth telling those who run into problem, in order to save your own server some load). Anyway, I really want to first listen to this on CD! Looking forward an awful lot!

    Richard Raux?

    Not life-changing ... but if you can get it for change (like I did, several years back), get it!
  17. Not sure I've got any choral stuff of his ... if at all, it's very little, so this is most welcome to me. I might of course still make up my mind in that it is really overkill, eventually ...
  18. kewl ... just ordered, should be mighty interesting!
  19. Thanks, that looks interesting! I remember hearing about that Green album - got to look for this twofer then!
  20. That Rubinstein/Krips K 491 is magnificient! Havne't come around to their Beethoven cycle, but that Mozart, gee!
  21. Stéphane is great to deal with, indeed! I just got home and hey-ho, ordered very late Friday night, discussed in detail on Saturday, shipped on Monday, here was my package! Just put the Gyldene Trion disc in the player - funny coincidence that the Kullhammar-thread was recently up again, too - since the days it was started I wanted to check out that guy's music some more, and now I'm listening to him tearing up "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" (how's that for a tune that's not been played to death?!)
  22. Great, glad you could still take advantage of the sale
  23. 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.
  24. 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!
  25. I get free shipping from neighboring EU countries' amazon sites, too (.it, .fr and .de) - but no free return shipping ...
