Sorry, posted here via google search and didn't see the subtitle - there's another string quartets thread here: But as for my question (which I still hope is okay to ask here), I found (among others) these:

That one would perfeclty fit the "wieners in ashtrays" thread, too

Big time, big time! Headin' for the second centenary? :party:

I'm looking for a recording of "Stabat mater" - any recommendations?

The same two that are likely in circulation among collectors ... have never seen the entire four track date!

Now, THAT'S the truth! DANG! I'll continue walking down the Fremeaux route anyway ... those 3CD sets are great, both in presentation and in sound.

Thanks! A 1960 set makes little sense to me, but then what do I know ... they'd have to learn and include stuff that's so far been beyond the scope of bootleggers. The omission of the earliest 1958 date still seems odd, as there'd be more than enough space on disc one! (edited for crappy typing)

That makes more sense! (As an explanation: "Mangel" means - among other things - "lack" in German.)

Happy Birthday! :party:

Then what does it include that makes it extend to more than two discs? Uhm, I just see the cover - it IS just two discs... http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/images/B008C1IBYG/ref=dp_otherviews_z_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&img=1 (w/zoom on the back cover) But where's the May 3, 1958 date? Has that been officially released (which still wouldn't stop these fellows to include it, I think). Do they miss that one because (amazingly, at least as far as Losin goes) it hasn't been bootlegged yet?

It wouldn't be the first time that a record company was manipulative in its use of language in order to increase sales of its product. That would be good enough if they actually re-did the rest of the box! And yes, would be nice if Ricky could chime in if he knows more! On the Sony Hot Fives/Sevens set?

damn!

sounds good to me (assuming it's not a blatand lie): http://www.popmarket.com/louis-armstrong-the-okeh-columbia-rca-victor-recordings-1925-1933/details/27732990

And Misha was lacking that night so he had to play bass?

Maids of Spain are fine with me ... the first box had plenty of omissions, but it's nevertheless a nice way to have lots of this music grouped in one place. Will look for this one, too! Just to be clear: first, second box ... and then the expanded version comprising both on 13 discs? The new should contain these (info compiled from Losin): Café Bohemia, New York NY Mutual Network radio broadcasts (B) May 3, 1958 (4 items; TT = 11:11) Miles Davis (tpt); John Coltrane (ts); William "Red" Garland (p); Paul Chambers (b); Philly Joe Jones (d); Guy Wallace (ann) 1 Band warming up 0:04 2 Woody 'n' You (D.

Paris - March 21 - (semi?) officially released on RTE/Trema Stockholm - March 22 - officially released on Dragon Copenhagen - March 24 - plentily booted Düsseldorf - March 28 - TV filming studio gig without Miles, (semi?) officially on WDR Jazzline (under Coltrane's name) Frankfurt - March 30 - booted Munich - April 3 - booted Zürich - April 8 - booted (I think) by Storyville Scheveningen - April 9 - booted aplenty (one track officially in the big useless KoB box) Then, still 1960, the fall tour with Sonny Stitt: Manchester - September 27 Paris - October 11 Stockholm - October 13 Paris and Stockholm are also out on Trema and Dragon, respectively, Manchester has been released by the Spanish. Not sure what this new box will contain, it would be huge if it were complete. And as all these boots, it will be marred by wrong speed/pitch issues abound, I'm afraid.

Saw the new Coltrane in a store today - way to thin to contain jewel cases ... guess they go the mini-LP route for larger sets or they've just changed somewhere along the way. Does the Miles contain a booklet with anything other than line-ups, tracklist and all the usual information?

Very sorry to hear this.

Well, it IS great! Both CD and LP can also be obtained straight from the label: http://www.boweavilrecordings.com/Weavil_24.html I did get carried away similarly and bought the LP via some vendor, assuming the CD was OOP ... then after some more searching I saw that the label is selling both and was pissed for a second. But now I'm happy I went for the LP, in this particular case!

I re-bought the old CD just to have those edits as well ... but the unedited version has grown to be much more familiar over the years.

Intriguing discussion about Weather Report and Zawinul above! Follow-up question to Jim: can you please specify which Zawinul Syndicate set you meant? The only one I've got so far is this one:

more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifYRDVoaJcE Skylark (1979, Flavio & Franco, large orchestra, polished by Sebesky) Franco Cerri - Flavio's Blues / Just One of Those Things (from "Franco Cerri and His European All Stars", w/Flavio, Lars Gullin, Gruntz & Pierre Favre, Cerri's on bass here)

Very sad news, read it in the daily paper this morning. Had a track of his on my first BFT, years ago ... enjoyed what little I've heard! Some tracks from youtube: Kenny Clarke - No Details (ca. 60s, w/Franco, Gruntz, Isla Eckinger) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q91BqIWVcgI Strike Up the Band (1955 w/Franco Cerri, Siro Bianchi, Rodolfo Bonetto)

Are you sure about the mini LP packing of the single discs? I've only got one of these (the Rollins Prestige) and is has the discs (eight of them, the albums - the box is not identical in content to the earlier complete 7CD set, missing several sideman sessions/albums) in two jumbo jewel cases, each holding four discs. The others I've seen in stores (Ellington Carnegie, Chet Baker Riverside, Coltrane Prestige) looked the same to me.
