How about the Cooke compared to the earlier 4CD set? I guess I'll keep it at that (plus "Keep Movin' On").

Not definitive, but a little research suggests it might be Talib Kibwe (T.K. Blue). Mike Fitzgerald lists his name as Talib Qadir Kibwe here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/fitzgera/muslim.htm That was my thought, too... would be good to really know!

Got mine from amazon.fr yesterday - but handed it over to my li'l sis', still sealed... will get it again when this commercial thingie is celebrated, ya know... the guy who came a second time a few years later and did all those great tricks The music is a rag-bag indeed... got much of it on various more or less cheaply made compilations (UK RCA ones mostly, I think). Some of it - the solo album, for instance - is sublime!

I just was at the Bimhuis to catch Henry Threadgill and Zooid - very nice club! http://bimhuis.nl/home

First impression (Ella disc 1) is good. But I need to listen again when I can crank it up some...

It's back on "last chance" now... not sure about it, I've had mine for many years, but it might be worth a try to send them a mail and ask! As for the discussions about favorites... I don't have the Roulette Studio alas, love the Roulette Live a lot, although I find I listen to it all too rarely. Anyway, the Clef/Verve material is essential in its own way, I feel. The dance sessions are among the very finest NT Basie, and Gus Johnson's drumming is superior (except in showmanship) to Sonny Payne's. But yeah, maybe all in all, the Roulette sessions are a bit more exciting (for instance, "April in Paris" was always more solid, rather than great, in my book), but I wouldn't want to miss the Clef/Verve recordings!

Hum, I wonder... got my Ella set today - haven't inspected it too closely yet. It's still in stock at amazon.fr: http://www.amazon.fr/Complete-Masters-1935-1955-14-CD/dp/B005NNJKF0/

What I was hinting at are the Alan Grant radio broadcasts... I do assume there's some overlap? Haven't ever seen that Lonehill set you mention. Wynton Kelly Trio with Wes Montgomery New York City (USA), Half Note Wynton Kelly - piano Paul Chambers (CD1), Larry Ridley (CD2) - bass Jimmy Cobb - drums Wes Montgomery - guitar (CD1#4-6, CD2#5-7) September 24, 1965 [43:53] 1. Introduction by Alan Grant > Blues Blues (12:39) 2. Old Folks (6:08) [poss. on Xanadu 198, "Blue on Purpose"] 3. Milestones (5:58) [poss. on Xanadu 198, "Blue on Purpose"] 4. Laura (6:58) 5. Cariba (8:39) 6. Alan Grant talk > Blues (Bb) (3:28) [w/Alan Grant voiceover/outro] November 12, 1965 [42:50] 1. Introduction by Alan Grant (0:52) 2. Blue and Boogie (11:48) 3. If You Could See Me Now (7:37) 4. There Is No Greater Love (7:07) 5. Birk's Works (5:50) 6. Four on Six (8:14) 7. Announcements with band outro (1:20) Source: WABC-FM "Portraits in Jazz", host: Alan Grant I wonder, what are the trio tracks on that Lonehill set? Were have they been released before? #4-6 might be from the first Grant set?

I only recently discovered "Steal Away" and love it. Great to get more of this duo!

I tried this, but if you remove the zeros, media player once again puts the information while playing the music. Maybe I didn't do it like you mentioned, but I believe I did. Okay, but why would anyone remove the zeros? That would seem like cheating to me...

Miles Davis - The Complete On the Corner Sessions into disc 2 now... trying to figure out the how the boots (three volumes of "unknown sessions" and some more) fit in... anyone ever tried to figure out? Losin isn't that complete here... and the box gives little info, too.

Lost in translation, I guess... sorry!

Sorry, but I'm astonished! Go get it then, no matter if the vinyl (sure looks fine to me!) or the CD!

No idea about more RVG recordings, but more radio captured tracks are around...

posted in the DVD thread by mistake: Dylan's Tell Tale Signs 3CD version for 40€ - not *that* cheap but still a whole lot cheaper than what I got it for: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/Bob-Dylan-Tell-Tale-Signs-The-Bootleg-Series-Vol-8-Limited-Edition/hnum/2844175

ooops, got the wrong thread anyway...

You've not heard this reissue or you've not heard the album? Hard to believe the later... it was in the Jazz in Paris series as well as in the Verve 8CD-set. Definitely not Pres' best, but somewhat better than the worst of his late recordings.

Aren't the overdubbed tracks the same as on "Willow Weep for Me"? That one was on CD in the LPR series.

Mike, do overwrite all fields with zeros... if you just delete tags, some information may still turn up in some players. The zero strategy is the best one I've found so far. Of course do put in some kind of album title and track numbers, as well as some artist name ("Various Artists" or something like that) - otherwise those who listen on MP3-players might not find the tracks there or have to write tags before putting the tracks onto an MP3-player.

Yeah, that was my thought, too... mood music, exotica, instrumental accompaniment to singers etc.

Kind of a disappointing selection there: Disque 1 Michel PETRUCCIANI : Solo Live Disque 2 Ahmad JAMAL : It's Magic Disque 3 Franck AVITABILE : Short Stories Disque 4 Aldo ROMANO : Just Jazz Disque 5 Roy HAYNES : Fountain of Youth Disque 6 Marcus MILLER : Dreyfus Night in Paris Disque 7 Marcus MILLER : Power, The Essential Disque 8 Richard GALLIANO : Piazzolla Forever Disque 9 Biréli LAGRÈNE : Gipsy Trio Disque 10 Adrien MOIGNARD : All The Way Disque 11 Sylvain LUC : Joko Disque 12 Philip CATHERINE : Guitars Two Disque 13 Trio SUD : Young & Fine Disque 14 Rosario GIULIANI : Lennie's Pennies Disque 15 Steve GROSSMAN : Quartet with M.Petrucciani Disque 16 Géraldine LAURENT : Time Out Trio Disque 17 Eddy LOUISS : Trio Disque 18 Didier LOCKWOOD : Tribute To S.Grappelli Disque 19 Anne DUCROS : Close Your Eyes Disque 20 Térez MONTCALM : Voodoo I've got #4, #15 and #16, the only other one I really want is #17 (I've heard it already...)

Forgot about that one - would have mentioned it on my list but when I bought mine it was minus the box (only got the individual CD's & booklet) Same here... and even got that one used from another bored member.

No link yet... the covers aren't officially displayed on the site yet, either. The pics were there in advance for the previous boxes, too... once you've figured out the URLs, you can just enter the next numbers (13 boxes out so far, so #14 is next).
