Thanks for the psi/Emanem update ... definitely got some catching up to do there! Ordererd a few things (including the first Rutherford/Iskra 3CD set), including some Parker discs. Hard to get the wishlist down to a sensible length (I'm somewhere between 250 and 300£ now ...) I could really band my head against the wall for having missed out on the reissue of "Topography of the Lungs" ... if anyone has an extra copy or finds one that fell of some truck, I'd be very interested!

OP, disc three

discs one and two

Thanks, David - did the same yesterday! Seems it will just slip through customs/tax-mongers ... but I'll keep an eye on amazon.it and amazon.fr, just in case. (Both don't seem to list the set yet, at least not under the same link/number.)

Marilyn Horne singing Händel's aria "Lascia ch'io pianga"

Not that I understand the technical aspects of it, but purely from listening, this makes perfect sense to me! There's a freshness to Richie Powell's playing in the Brown-Roach Quintet that I adore! And a very similar freshness turns up in the first Coltrane sessions with McCoy (those Oct. 1960 Atlantic dates).

Disc four - "Sonny Meets Hawk" and the first four tracks from "Now's the Time" ... guess I'll pop in disc five, too (not enough time for disc six right now, alas). Somehow, whenever I turn my back on this box, I keep to underestimate the greatness of the music it contains, can't quite explain why, but this is amazing stuff!

Yes, the covers are all there by now ... except for the Gaslini.

yadda yadda yadda nothing to see here - move on!

I don't really know much late Sarah ... but I love "Crazy and Mixed Up"!

Are they worth hearing? http://www.jazz.fm/index.php/news-a-events-mainmenu/8559-concord-to-re-release-sarah-vaughn-ellington-records-

Just because you reject even the notion that anyone might get an ounce of pleasure out of their music, I don't think you ought to flat out deny the mere possibility.

more into transmogrification myself ...

Sorry, missed checking in here ... of the couple of dozen or more NDR JWS recordings I've heard, most run from anywhere between 80 and 150, so the Surman is on the short side, methinks?

With Chuck here ... at least the ones I've got (including the Ellington with original cover) won't be replaced. The only one I don't have is "Skol".

Me too - but I'd still encourage to look for older musician threads and revive those instead of opening new ones. The cover threads don't really bother me, nor do aloc's - sometimes I look at them, oftentimes I don't.

Well, there are occasionally some interesting threads popping up in misc music (as with misc non music). But frankly, the whole political discussion of the past several months to me seems like one on-going thread split up into various pretense-topics ... I rarely ever go there anymore, same old same old every day.

Searches on google work perfecly well - put in "Lee Morgan site:organissimo.org" and you'll quickly get what there is.

(furthermore, what's the point of starting another thread on Lee Morgan when there are seventeen ones, easily found with a quick search? the fount of info gets divided into many small rivulets ... I've said so often enough to step on the toes of a few, I guess, but I keep sayin' it)

Happy Birthday!

damn! here's an article, but no confirmation either: http://www.jazzwisemagazine.com/news-mainmenu-139/70-2013/12804-jazz-breaking-news-keyboard-legend-george-duke-dies-aged-67 Also this one, seems to be the source of it all: http://www.radiofacts.com/veteran-musician-george-duke-dies/

Make that bluewin - as I said above ... you'll never get a reply writing to anyone @bluwin.ch, doesn't exist.

want to send me yours so I can judge myself?
