Happy birthday!

okay, I'm lost now, where to go?

Got to get this, too, eventually! Want the Lunceford, too, but it's on backorder for a while (anywhen 2014, not very precise).

I remember it, too ... there was even a short article in one of the daily papers I read.

Interesting point regarding E.S.P. ... regarding the Miles albums, "Miles Smiles" would be my pick - that one, to me, best exemplifies what this group was about, and Hancock is just amazing on it! I assume my vote when to "Speak No Evil", but "Etcetera" and "Adam's Apple" would be strong contenders. (Why can't we see what we voted for?)

Undeservedly so, I'd say! Their gig in Zurich was pretty darn great! And very much on the outer end of Roach's musical spectrum. I found it thought provoking and highly enjoyable to see Roach opening up to this type of music. Saw him in duo with Abdullah Ibrahim, too - much weaker concert, alas, but Roach's half hour solo set was darn great and he was a charmer!

Bump - still don't have the Circle stuff ... I think - I'm still a bit confused regarding all those Ellington transcriptions though. I have the Hindsight 3CD box (rec. 1946/47), but what about the "Uncollected" ones, those are from 1943-45, right? What's the best way to get those? Are they included one some box-set, is there overlap with any other series (Storyville's DETS)?

Not sure, I'd guess if you order now, you'll get them to this price once they'll be back in stock. But I don't really have any experience on how Amazon handles such cases ... most of them are out of stock by now.

very sad news - r.i.p. here's the earlier thread: that late disc is fine, and the trio with Rowles and Mitchell is mighty good, indeed (thanks brownie)!

Wonderful set! Very good to have all of this music in one place ... tends mostly to be overshadowed by other bands Miles let, but there's so much very good music in it, I really enjoy it! I've loved the Lincoln Center concert ever since getting that Great 1964 Concert double disc (or what was it called?), and the Berlin concert is pure magic!

So Hip-O-Select has to be British, then ...

Not sure about "shaking my world" (or ass or brain) and "most beloved" ... guess there must be some kind of difference, since you can be shaken by stuff that hardly ever will grow a favourite? Anyway, some that shook me world and guts for sure, were: Jimmy Smith - Groovin' at Smalls' Paradise (RVG 2CD) John Coltrane - Blue Train Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um Charles Mingus - Black Saint and the Sinner Lady Miles Davis - In a Silent Way Duke Ellington - Money Jungle Charlie Parker - the Savoy 5LP box Eric Dolphy - Out ot Lunch Thelonious Monk - the Blue Note recordings, Brilliant Corners, Misterioso Herbie Nichols - the Blue Note recordings Ornette Coleman - the Atlantic box Andrew Hill - the Mosaic Box (1963-67) Cecil Taylor - Nefertiti Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity ... or maybe it was the Hilversum recording that fist shook me ... Art Ensemble of Chicago - Les Stances à Sophie Von Freeman - Serenade and Blues there must be more ... as far as favourites go, I posted a top-200 list where much consideration went into stuff like: is there enough Coltrane in there (or too much) and it was quite a big of work to get it evened out ...so in the end it might not really be my top-200 (hell, who can sort out more than 25 things anyway ... I certainly wouldn't claim this to be an exact ranking, after the thirtieth or so rank it's more like "in that region" than "on number 68") - have a look here if you feel like (comments in German): http://forum.rollingstone.de/showthread.php?27-Eure-Album-Top100&p=3012746&viewfull=1#post3012746

Two titles from the new album can be heard by streaming this radio programme from French radio: http://www.francemusique.fr/emission/open-jazz/2013-2014/randy-weston-billy-harper-un-tete-tete-aux-sources-du-blues-10-08-2013-00-00 The should be the first ones, looking at the playlist - hit the "play button" next to "ÉCOUTER L’ÉMISSION". My search for more info turned up without anything ... the promo blurbers (they must have long replaced all real writers out there in the corporate world, too bad) all repeat the same ... met in 1972, rekkid in 1974 at Montreux with Don Moye added bla bla bla ... Seems "Carnival" is being reissued, too - at least so says the short write-up in the page of the radio show. Ha, found it - it's in small print on the back cover - it's indeed a new recording, Feb. 2013!

You are my kinda guy, Ronald! @MG: the question is about the new release, I assume ... and Don Moye, to most of us, is he who was the drummer of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, of course

Okay, thanks ... the technicalities ... not too good in these things, but too bad about the boxes, I'd have loved to see them all! Not too far with Volume 1 yet, but it's been very revealing to me, in many respects!

Sure they do ... but what I'd wish for was a complete Hancock release, with all his music, indepentendly of what was actually used in the film!

That's quite a load ... reminds me I've got barely any Kenny Drew leader stuff ... any recommendations from amongst those above? Anyone knows more about these, recording dates, playlist ... are they of the Japanese smoothed-down variant (thinking soft standards on Venus) or are they the real thing?

I'd be all for a complete edition of this, two discs filled with all of it, or at least all of the Herbie material ... I could live without the rest, I guess. Doesn't bother me, but I don't feel like having to revisit.

prices on amazon.fr just dove ... and cheap me put in his orders (still missing all but the Muhal from the previous batch though): Bley (26€) Cyrille (19€) Farmer (18€) Lake (18€) and: Gaslini (24€) the two I really wanted to get soon were the Bley and Gaslini, but dammit, the Cyrille and the Lake look mighty good, too (and I don't know any of them but the ones with Cyrille and Lyons - there they made a weird omission ... and hey, here's one where I can listen and see if I can hear how these new remasters destroy all the music ) Oh, the Murray is down to 19€, too - but not in stock at the moment (didn't order it yet)

This has been asked before, I think, but I forgot the answer ... those 800 examples, they're the replacement of the further three blues boxes? Or will those appear as well? And are those tracks downloadable (for MP3 player or anything) or just for streaming?

seems to be for real: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/art/Keith-Jarrett-No-End/hnum/3403329 but it has the feel of darn gread practical joke

Yep, but if it's half as good as I hope, it does easily deserve its own thread

also here, with no need to open drop down lists: http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/de/cat/4791043 will have a closer look, but most likely I'm not interested - got some that I want and will rather get a few more single ones.

what's an MD, a doctor of medicine?
