That's a good price .... in fact the final two albums aren't that good, I think (some synth stuff, too, be warned), while the middle one is good rather than very good (the first two are mighty fine though ... and so's the Calig from the same time period).

Happy Birthday, Rod!

I forgot to mention, that "JASRAC" (or whatever that's supposed to mean) logo is there, too - btoh on the disc as well as on dhe OBI. No "Made in Europe" on the OBI of that Mingus disc, btw (unless of course in Japanes, which I can't read).

Why should they be fakes? Even if they'd be European pressings, I wouldn't care ... or are you saying they're counterfeits/bootlegs/illegal copies? The disc has the Rhino logo, WPCR-27256, Made in Japan. Inner ring gives that same WPCR number as well as an IFPI number (IFPI 456E at the very center in the clear part, IFPI L 275 at the outher end of the inner ring, on silver).

amazon.fr has them for around 7 € ... I was rather astonished, too - got me that last Mingus one (Something Like a Bird), and have the Vitous (Infinite Search) and John Lewis' "Jazz Abstractions" on the way (which I only know partially from the Ornette Atlantic box, so far).

Same here! There were four volumes of his "Integrale" and they almost run up to where this new box picks up (one album is missing in between, alas (Concerto della Resistenza), but this new box is a perfect addition to my Gaslini collection! It overlaps in time with his Soul Notes, of which the Monk might be the most amazing (maybe that's his towering achievement, really ... next to "Nuovi Sentimenti", which is more of a group effort). That would be cool. It does seem like Cam Jazz are branching out in to other Italian record labels. Not sure they do ... DDQ have been part of the Soul Note/Black Saint enterprise for a while and that's what CAM took over ... (not sure if DDQ were a sister label to BS/SN from the git go though). But obviously it would be the shiznits if they did do some Horo material! But as far as Lacy goes, they should do the larger groups to comliment the solos/duos/trios set, anway!

in case you're really looking for it, there's a (recent, not old ZYX) small-scale edition, CDs in carboard sleeves, nice booklet with notes and all - and it's fairly cheap here: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/art/John-Coltrane-1926-1967-The-Prestige-Recordings/hnum/1988951 Or here as well: http://www.amazon.de/The-Prestige-Recordings-John-Coltrane/dp/B006MU317Q/

Yes, love "Nova Express", too!

I'll just let my pre-order run, too ... and yeah, if anyone has any sources on the *entire* box being reprocessed to more roomy (hey, does a mono trumpet only need one valve? so KoB was in three-channel, right?), please enlighten us. If not, we've all got the point now, no need in beating a dead horse once it's dead. As for Monk at Newport, David, do look for this expanded 2CD Legacy reissue from 2002, it's OOP but can be found: Btw, why did he mis-spell his name? We all do know his birth certificate said "Thelonious Mono" Thanks for the suggestion - in fact I identified that when I looked around for the tracks. I don't have it. When I see it at the right price I'll jump I think. At least they got it right on this one. Breaking news: US Shutdown Forces Sony To Fold-Down All Holliday Releases To Mono But, but, why the Stereo logo when it's Mono? oh, wait, it's Mono in Stereo, I get it now!

the latest seems to be "Dreamachines" (Wollesen-vib, Medeski-p, Dunn-b, Baron-d) - looks good, too!

Been eyeing that one for quite a while ... I already have two of the albums ("A Certain Mr. Jobim" and "Terra Brasilis", the later on LP) but I guess I'll get it, too!

that's cool news! (courtesy of www.discplus.ch)

Just to make sure ... 8. Evidence is the same as the one on the "Monk in Tokyo" 2CD set, yes? Was that not part of the LP or why would it be on "Misterioso"? Don't know the story of "Monk in Tokyo" (or if there is one), but love the music of that quartet, still with Frankie Dunlop on drums!

what's the negative of mono?

"Hum Dono" is a great suggestion! Btw, is the Daley going to be a box now, for sure? I'll be all over it regardless, but would absolutely be for the complete/box version! Oh, and the Carter/Bradford is finally on its way to me ... I've heard it in very lacking quality, will be great to have it in what I'm sure will be another gorgeous package!

Makes no difference to me, got to pay taxes and custom fees no matter if from Spain or the US ... I ordered the Threadgill from JM when Mosaic had it on backorder, but that was an exception (I do order, as I said before, other stuff from JM, like Steeplechase, and most recently a disc from their Venus offer, the one missing Barney Wilen) Makes perfect sense to me in such cases to omit any middlemen and have Mosaic earn as much as possible.

r.i.p.

that's all, folks

Nothing to peruse there, I think - just that one map. Would be great to get the names to the "dots", but I guess that would be asking too much!

I put it up on megaupload just before Kim Dotcom was busted ... so there's that

before: (mine looks considerably better - and the vinyl is perfect) now: Heavenly Sweetness reissue ... first spin - very good!

I know of at least one (taped myself, but no idea where the CDRs might be): Von Freeman Concerto Jazz Rete Due Studio 2, RSI, Lugano (CH) March 13, 2002 Von Freeman - tenor sax Amina Claudine Myers - piano Hein van den Geyn - bass Han Bennink - drums CD1/53:38 1.

Confirmation (Charlie Parker) 14:09 4. We'll Be Together Again (Carl Fisher) [ts-solo] FM / 99 min Guess it's "around" ... will try and look for it. (edit - found it ... my disorderly order is working rather well, after all!)

Fine Grammavision LP from 1980, featuring two more Bley cohorts (D. Sharpe and crazy Gary Valente) plus Kenny Werner (replaced on two cuts by one James Harvey aka Snake - who's he?) and Ed Schuller.
