Thanks! Will definitely try and find it ... how does the CD relate? Does it contain music actually heard in the film or is that an alternative/later recording?

Thanks. There seem to be various issues with this same cover .... guess I'll nose around local shops (which will ask too high a price, but if I get what I want, that's okay).

Okay, to get back on topic ... or rather the real topic which the disc linked in the original post is only teasing us with ... What about this? What DVD edition is it that you're talking of, I'm sure there are various around?

Don't think any of these euro official pd releases were remastered ... nor had any new material. But at least they started including real booklets, it seems.

If it's indeed the two previous boxes (and not the silly "original album" stuff), it's great stuff! Some of my favourite Jarrett, hands down (which of course has something to do with the sidemen involved ...)

That's actually how it went with me (albeit in the 90s) ... the Rollins above thus was meant only half jokingly, as it helped me appreciate Shelly Manne bigtime! Among the first things I've heard were the Chico Hamilton Mosaic box, then soon after the Bud Shank - I went for the West Coast Classics on Blue Note (well, most of them, somehow two of the best, the Curtis Amy and Earl Anderza escaped me for rather long time, our own brownie rightened the Anderza situation later), and I went for several of the Mode reissues by V.S.O.P. - bought that stuff along with Mosaic boxes from True Blue - loads of it, and there was some West Coast material included pretty often - Conte Candoli, Art Pepper, Frank Rosolino, lots of Chet Baker, also Mulligan ... then it was Shelly Manne whose stuff I started chekcing out. Got the Gioia book here by now, but didn't start reading it yet. That sounds good! It seems it's being reprinted and to be out again in three weeks: http://www.amazon.fr/West-Coast-Jazz-Alain-Tercinet/dp/2863646656/

Not an expert, but I snatched up each and any Connoisseur LP I could get for an okay price and I'm pretty glad I did, even though it's just half a dozen (mostly a CD guy).

and what to you wear while they're drying?

Weston's page says the Enja reissue of "African Night" omits two of the titles: http://randyweston.info/randy-weston-discography-pages/1975africannite.html @Milestones: do look for some of those LPs in those years ... some of the finest Weston around! Besides the Owl solo, I partucularly love the solo on Freedom ("Blues to Africa") as well as the album he made with Harper in that same year and also on Freedom, "Carnival".

well, your loss ...

Have you already heard it? If that's indeed so, the news is all the better! He's heard for too short a time on most studio cuts, but time restrictments wouldn't apply live, so yeah ... sounds great!

it's the same recording as on the Owl one ("African Nite"), but Owl sounds much better. Thanks for confirming ... I'd often wondered how that might have ended up on both these labels, anyone knows the story behind it?

The Komeda was the first that I put on ... some warble, some digital treatment issues (like weird circling cymbals), but to my ears very listenable - and I guess for stuff of that vintage and that origin, it's really pretty good! Also played Vol. 3 after that, the Milian track is gorgeous (Gerswhin's "Soon"), too bad there's just one! And the two Brüel/Tchicai tracks are great, both Monk tunes (Blue Monk, Well You Needn't) and both 10-11 minutes, with Brüel playing soprano on the second (bari on the first) and Tchicai on alto (well, I assume it's him on alto on both).

This is very cool news! Not sure though why Parker gets co-billing when this is the regular Illinois Jacquet working band of that time.

Yes, got Vols. 3-8 - plan to get Vols. 1 and 2 as well, eventually, not sure about Vol. 9, though Nicholas and Mangelsdorff might be worth and these discs are so cheap ...

links, just in case: http://sklep.polskieradio.pl/Category/76-jazz.aspx?PageIndex=2 http://sklep.polskieradio.pl/Category/76-jazz.aspx?PageIndex=3 http://merlin.pl/muzyka/jazz-polski-jazz/browse/category/4,11426.html (do some searching ... they don't seem to have Vol. 9 which is why I was unaware of its existence until right now) Oh, and Max Brüel is smokin' "Blue Monk"! Waitin' for Tchicai now ...

Seems this is a new series .... stumbled over it when looking in the internets for some Komeda a few weeks back ... sent in an order (for Vols. 3-8) then with a vendor called merlin.pl (using google translate) - and just picked up my package at the post office and popped in some of the music (first the Komeda disc, now Vol. 3, the first of two with music from the 1962 Jazz Jamboree). Very nice! Vol. 1 - Stan Getz with the Andrzej Trzaskowski Trio, rec. 1960 it seems Stan Getz – saksofon tenorowy, Andrzej Trzaskowski – fortepian, Roman Dyląg – kontrabas, Andrzej Dąbrowski – perkusja. Vol. 2 - Don Ellis with the Wojciech Karolak Trio, rec. at the 1962 Jazz Jamboree Don Ellis – trumpet Wojciech Karolak – piano Roman Dyląg - bass Andrzej Dąbrowski - drums Vol. 3 - Jazz Jamboree '62 Eje Thelin Quintet ( Eje Thelin-trombone, Ulf Andersson –sax, Goran Lindberg – piano, Bjorn Alke –bass, Rune Carlsson –drums) Don Ellis / Wojciech Karolak Trio (Wojciech Karolak – piano, Roman „Gucio” Dyląg –bass, Andrzej Dąbrowski – drums)* Jazz Fraktionen (John Tchicai –sax alt, Max Bruel –sax baritone, Niels Bronsted –piano, Bjorn Alke-bass, Rune Carlsson- drums,) Jerzy Milian Ensamble (Jerzy Milian – vibraphone, Wojciech Lechowski –guitar, Krzysztof Komeda-Trzciński-piano, Tadeusz Wójcik – bass, Leszek Dudziak-drums,) Louis Hjulmand / Wojciech Karolak Trio (Louis Hjulmand –vibraphone, Wojciech Karolak-piano, Roman “Gucio” Dyląg-bass, Andrzej Dąbrowski –drums) *) the one Ellis/Karolak track here seems to be an alternate version of one title also on Vol. 2 (which I don't have yet) Vol. 4 - Komeda Recordings from 1957 (with a sextet plus third streamish arrangements adding english and french horn), a quartet cut (with perc added) from 1959, Bernt Rosengren with Komeda's trio in 1961 doing two short cuts from "Knife in te Water" at the 1961 Jazz Jamboree and "Ballad for Bernt" at the radio studio, and finally half an hour in trio from the 1962 Jazz Jamboree (with Roman Dylag and Rune Carlson) Vol. 5 - Andrzej Trzaskowski This contains two 1962 dates, both in quintet with Zbigniew Namyslowski (as), Michal Urbaniak (ts) as well as trio cuts with various bassists and drummers ... the first half is from the 1962 Jazz Jamboree again, the second was recorded in the radio studio and features a variety of "covers" such as "Saint Vitus Dance", "Sack o' Woe", "Hi-Fly", "Minority" ... Vol. 6 - Jazz Jamboree '62, Volume 02 Kwintetu Andrzeja Kurylewicza, tria węgierskiego pianisty Atilli Garaya z czeskim basistą Janem Arnetem i Andrzejem Zielińskim na perkusji, dwa wokalne standardy zaśpiewane przez Wandę Warską z towarzyszeniem Tria Wojciecha Karolaka, gdańskiego BigBandu Jana Tomaszewskiego, Swingtetu Jerzego Matuszkiewicza, jak również wulkanu energiiNew Orleans Stompers i radzieckiego Vadim Sakun Sekstet . Not too many well-known names here ... but Jan Wróblewski is featured on the 13 minute track by Kurylewicz' Quintet (the leader on trumpet here), Wanda Warska does two songs ("Ill Wind" and "Time After Time") ... for that alone, I guess, the disc should be worth getting (I'll soon know). Vol. 7 - Arrival in Poland As the title says, this is a compilation with performances from various visitors ... for starters, there's four titles by Bernt Rosengren with the perennial favourite Ianci/Jancy/Iansci Körössy (the man with many names), followed by three Körössy trio titles, all from 1961. From the same year, there's one short track by the Lasse Lystedt Quintet (no personel given there, I don't even know the leader), then there are three by the Lars/Lasse Werner Trio, and finally one by a singer called Nora Brocksted doing "Love for Sale" with the Polish radio Orchestra (that last one's from 1962). Vol. 8 - Standards Another compilation here ... Trzaskowskis Quintet (with Namyslowski and Urbaniak) doing "Vierd Blues" by Miles, then The Jazz Rockers (Namyslowsky and Urbaniak with another rhythm section) doing more jazz originals like "Moment's Notice", "Horace-Scope", "Split Kick", "Sack o' Woe", as well as "Lover Man", "Yestedays" and more. Then there's Jerzy Milian doing a short "Solitude", and finally Andrzej Kuryelwicz (again on trumpet) with his group featuring Jan "Ptaszyn" Wróblewski on tenor, doing three standards. These recordings again stem from 1961/62 and were recorded by Polish Radio in Warsaw, Poznan and Krakow. Vol. 9 - Swing, Dixi & Rag This one I hadn't even seen before just now ... it features Albert Nicholas, Emil Mangelsdorff's Swingtet, Dudus Matusziewitz and others ... mostly unfamiliar stuff, but I might go for it eventually, too. Seems the entire series is brand new, all discs give the (P) and © year as 2013. They don't (yet?) turn up on any yurpeen amazon sites or any such, but the cost per disc being 5-6 € when ordering from Poland (from merlin.pl or also from the shop of Polish Radio, though I did the former, as I said), the prices aren't getting steep even with shipping, at least inside ol' yurp.

No, according to the latest CAM mail (sometime this week, I've already deleted it), they're already out. They're also listed on their site now: http://www.camjazz.com/boxsets.html/ And amazon.fr is selling them now.

bump - four days to go!

I've locked my clouds away Seriously: reliabilty and safety (or: privacy) are two *very* different things!

European Amazons says "Sunnyside commu" (nist?), but since I found out about it in the newsletter of German Universal, I guess it's Universal.

The cloud actually violates itself ... it's pretty perverted really, should be forbidden on moral grounds. What does that mean? MG Probably nothing much ... Just that I think any thought of any cloud being safe is moronic, ultimately. (But maybe, so am I.)

It's already on order! And just for the case I ever want to listen to the two later albums, I can even justify keeping the Original Album Classics set, too

Details can be found here: http://www.deccaclassics.com/en/cat/4784271 Szeryng recorded K 364 with Gibson and the New Philharmonia Orchestra as well, with Bruno Giuranna on viola. Anyway, with free shipping and VAT deducted, this is an offer I can't let go.
