I think it's somewhat more complicated, Hans. Not sure the radio station actually owns what's ON the tapes or if they just bought the right to broadcast once (or any number of times). It is my understanding that all these radio releases are legally very complicated - that is, as long as the recordings in question are not in the public domain yet. oops, plenty of new posts in the meantime, I'm darn slow posting from the smartphone.

So you did get it before me ... I already wondered if you get mail on Sundays, but I guess it was Monday morning already? The parcel post hasn't passed (working at home today), so there's still hope I catch up

Yep, John Tchicai must get lots of money from this release

big on the Waldron/Lacy though!

Somewhat hesitant about Mingus Birdland - sketchy, bad sound, no room for the music to really go places ... but the entire 1964 tour would nicely fit, though it has to be compiled from several labels' releases as well as unreleased material.

happy birthday!

you better!

Bill Evans - The Secret Sessions Bill Evans - The Complete 1961 Village Vanguard Sessions Shelly Manne - At the Black Hawk (five single volumes) and At the Manne-Hole (two single volumes) (there's a shady box of the Black Hawk, too) Count Basie - The Complete Roulette Live Recordings (Mosaic) (okay, that's a mean recommendation, but luck may strike or you may have a thick bank account ...) Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet + 1 - 3 Nights in Oslo (different line-ups including various combinations of "bands within the band", details here) Albert Ayler - Holy Ghost (another big one, not sure of it's price range, you get extended recordings from Seattle) John Coltrane - Live in Japan (the 4CD edition) and I fully endorse a whole lot of the previous recommendations (the other Evans sets, the Jarretts - you might want to throw in the 1973/74 Impulse box, which has lots of extende live material -, Ella in Hollywood, Trane 1961, the Petersons, the Mogie, also the sublime "People Time").

Thanks, Jonathan! Crossing my fingers re: Daley! And I'll happily buy the Carter/Bradford reissues once they're out!

Happy birthday!

Ha, it's the pianist that sucks! Seriously, I perceived the disc as a fine piece of group work ... and I loved hearing Taylor Ho Bynum in somewhat less heady surroundings than I've encountered him in so far. Will have to give it another spin soon!

disc three

Gee, everyone seems to have gotten their sets early/mid this week ... but no trace of it here yet!

Happy Birthday, Victor!

I reported some about the Zurich concert here:

Where can that be heard? Would be of much interest to me!

Any news on the Joe Daley material?

totally forgot to check ... would the Konitz material be the same as on the "Saxophone Collection" disc?

Alles Gute, Thomas!

Had my entire order split up into two packages in the mail about a week ago ... all fine, no wrong items so far (three orders in total only, though). The music is mighty fine ... the Malaby suffers a bit from sound, but the music makes more than up for it, Wadada is great! The Parker/Guy/Lytton + Peter Evans might turn into a favourite, upon first listen I thought it was terrific (better than the Evans quartet disc, which is good as well). And as has been mentioned here, the Convergence Quartet disc is mighty good indeed!

Ha! "Live at the Village Vanguard" is on my list, too! Took me a long time since I just forgot about it for years ... Also "Ascension" too me a while to warm to. Nowadays, I just love it! From Miles, I guess "On the Corner", too - and that's one BAD m-f, but it took me quite a while to figure that out.

Indeed! I missed out on the Jochum ICON like that ... and twice already on the Gilels Beethoven sonatas. But I'll just keep waiting until prices drop again.

Okay, guess once I'll have dug some deeper into symphonic stuff (I'm a neophyte, too - started early last summer, but bigtime, it's been a most amazing journey so far!) I'll be looking for more of these!
