I'm slowly growing to appreciate those differences (without being able to tell them though, just listening), and I've gained plenty from these HIP-threads you started, so I'll shut my mouth know and wait for mikeweil to drop by with some recommendations that might be of interest to me as well!

time for a link to the Jimmy Garrison thread - some very interesting discussion there:

Okay, sorry - didn't know, didn't check ... but anyway, it's all fiction, isn't it? Some is better than other, some more plausible, times change, knowledge changes. And many "modern" violins are 300 years old, it seems

The Lumières box from Harmonia Mundi has two Haydn quartets by the Jerusalem Quartet - not sure they're HIP though, and haven't listened yet, but ...

DHL sucks! Swiss post had them do the door delivery for international parcels for a while. They'd always come when no one's home, you'd arrange for a second delivery a day or two after, they'd pull a no show and instead come one day later or some such ... seems Swiss post had so many complaints that they themselves are doing all door deliveries again, DHL is kept away from contact with customers (unless of course you're using DHL as a courier, but we're talking of regular postal services partly sourced out to DHL here).

Thanks to this thread I pushed myself over the edge finally, spending big bucks (33 eurozlotys) on a new copy of the Japanese reissue of "In the World" ... I'd heard it before, but damn this is good! Might indeed be my favorite Jordan, all things considered! I guess the Mingus experience did open up a few things for him, after all, though he always sounds like he was the most conservative member of that band -- well, that's after Johnny Coles was out ... the sextet is different than the quintet, I think ... and Jordan plays some great sh*t, don't get me wrong! Anyway, the band on "In the World" is one of the best he ever led ... love Priester and the twin basses and well, love everything about this album! Great to hear Kelly outside his comfort zone, too. This music goes straight to the guts yet there's lots of food for the mind, too.

If the intention is to do FLAC for archiving/backup purposes, I'd strongly recommend using EAC, with the "secure mode" set up properly. You'll get WAV that way, which can then be converted to FLAC of course.

Don't know these but: 1) There's a fairly nice, rehearsal-like album by Lacy and Evans which does make me interested in Konitz/Evans 2) You'll need more Konitz/Solal, get the hat disc "Star Eyes"! (There are quartet albums around, too, a double disc/reissue on CAM and a fine one on Steeplechase) 3) There's a duo album of Konitz with Michel Petrucciani (on Owl, as is the Lacy/Evans) - unlikely, but it does work!

amazon.it has the new Bolet box at the very attractive price of 25€ ... I've got too much of what's in it already, bought when I was hunting for more Bolet just a few months ago. Definitely worth your time!

Sorry to intrude, but Mosaic never does re-releases. Or do you want to say it's from the first batch the had printed/ordered/stored/shipped as opposed to the next couple of hundreds after it may have been on backorder? If so, where would you get that information form? I never saw any of that, never saw Mosaic say "we have the first thousand boxes here now" ... and I also never thought of considering later copies of the same box re-releases.

Well, sometimes when you pop in a disc into the computer drive, you'll get a list of two or three album titles from which you can pick the one that seems more fitting (that's similar with iTunes, I found). If there's only one set of data around, you won't get that choice. I usually tag everything myself the way I want it to be ... but then with these cheapo Membran boxes you might find out more than they provide, so it's definitely worth a try (or rather, as you saw: a shot in the dark).

Open Loose last night ... rather short concert and it took them a while to get warm, but the second half of the first set and some of the second, including the encore, were really good. Rainey was amazing, Helias sometimes reminded me a bit of Charlie Haden, at least in his more quiet moments, when he allowed his bass to sing. Malaby was tender and brutal at the same time, early on I found his switching between the two rather unorganic, but it got pretty darn intense and the best few tunes were mighty good. However, I still have some quibbles ... Malaby sounded like he was in his own way, seemed like he just never could let loose and just play - and that was the part of this group that I missed. They had their tricky (and often beautifully crafted) tunes and arrangements and rhythms - and Rainey was LOOSE! - but somehow it all sounded a bit too technical and too restrained to me - not quite living up to the band name, really. But it was still a pretty good concert, altogether.
