Okay, will try at home on my computer then. The app on the pad is just called "Music" (more of that disguise nonsense - though Samsung does that generic naming too) - it however allowed me to locally save the files (but not to put them into my dropbox or anything). What a nuisance it is, dealing with apple - doing it exclusively for the Savory compilations. At least the music makes up for the pain!

The Solal/Liebman is nice, if somwhat understated. But this here looks mighty good: ---- Martial Solal SOLO PIANO: UNRELEASED 1966 LOS ANGELES SESSION · VOLUME 1 Fresh Sound Records In June 1966, invited by the shrewd American producer and author Ross Russell, Martial Solal traveled to Los Angeles to record these forgotten and unreleased solo piano sessions. Russell, who had launched the legendary label Dial Records back in 1946 to record Charlie Parker, had spent several years away from the jazz scene after shutting Dial down in 1949. When he decided to return to the jazz record business, he organized a series of recordings at Glendale’s Whitney Studio, which had a wonderful Steinway. Unfortunately, Russell’s new project didn’t come to fruition, and so Solal’s recordings never saw the light.Now we can finally hear them in two CD volumes. They show Martial Solal at his best, his incontestable talent, dazzling virtuosity and invention, but also his good taste and sense of humor in the execution. The originality of his conception, paired with his elegant control and technique, put him on a par with the great American pianists.Tracklisting:01. Groovin' High (Dizzy Gillespie) 4:0202.

That´s the problem: it was there when I bought the album, but is not listed in Apple Music (the pre-installed music player ... do I need to install another, although it is all Apple, just to read the pdf?)

Finally remembered to buy this (have my unuses ipad with me on vacation ...). Listening now ... needless to say it´s great fun! But where the fegh can I read te booklet on this silly secty locked mystery device?

It has been pulled because it combines half of the album with half of the next one ... bit of a goof. So go for the Japanese reissue if you want to get it.

No rush from my side ... there was a date going with the announcement of "coming on CD as well now", I may still be ahead of schedule but as I don't remember where I saw that date I just wanted to check quickly.

Maybe not quite THE ONE for me, but agree on all accounts, it's wonderful!

@Jim Alfredson any updates on the CD-version of the SpeakEZ tracks? I put in an order on Sep 7 (adding another CD), nothing here yet ...

Haven't listened to the samples, but ordered mine already - great to see Bertrand continue his work!

Pre-order in

... which is the case pretty often. Their database is a real mess.

Wot? Look here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TIOZS5Q/

amazon.com ... 20 or so $ - with 15 added for shipping not cheap but very much okay. I know about yurpeen second hand prices, had been checking every once in a while for several years. Not sure, but it's not on the "complete" set released by Collector's Choice (which btw fails to give line-ups/session info - I hate that).

Brought it up to 98% funded ... thanks for the alert (went for the package including the Levin, hadn't been aware of that).

Any of those so fed up with the masses of Ella releases has a Verve edition of "Live at Mister Kelly's" to let go?

I think Sorey is the dep, not quite sure though ... when I heard Lehman at Berlin Jazzfest last year, Gilmore was with Wadada's "Great Lakes Quartet" and was effin' awesome! Sorey was with Myra Melford's "Snowy Egret", and Lehman had a terrific sub (for Sorey) in Cody Brown, whose name I'd not noticed before. Plenty great drummers around these days!

One other thought that crossed my mind: I would like to get an alternate version of the entire album with Marcus Gilmore's hip shit drumming, which is fiercer, lighter, and punchier than Sorey's more horizontal, expansive playing.

Outstanding disc, in my opinion. There's lots in there - I have to think of Andrew Hill often when I hear these guys (Steve Lehman live can really channel Jackie McLean, btw) ... Marh Shim has an amazing solo towards the end, and it's great to hear Graham Haynes again ... Crump is very much alright, though not a guy whose presence would lead me to buy discs, it's usually the others he's with (Iyer, Lehman, Halvorson, Laubrock/Smythe), Tyshawn Sorey may suffer just a bit from ECM's sound, but in general this is a very good production (listening to the CD, heard the LP wasn't so good, but the friend reporting that isn't sure if his copy was bad - so bad it seems to sound, maybe it's indeed his copy, who knows). Anyway, other than that BN vibe, there's of course the spectral stuff (which doesn't need a vibraphone as in Lehman's octet), there's Coleman and that M-Base vibe, and there's lots of hip hop, too - "Break Stuff" was going in that direction even more so, and was brilliant already, I found. The entire mixture here is really something of its own. Way to go, Mr. Iyer!

Endorsing both yours and the @soulpope recommendations ... found both last year, together with a third disc (also on Milijac) with Frank Wess, Jimmy Owens and others. Guess they come recommended all three, but "I'm the Blues" may so far be my favourite of the bunch

Thanks, all very well ... just really busy (new job, some travelling ahead, lots of stuff to finish and organise and think about and mull over etc.). Back to the topic though: got two new deliveries from CD Japan these days, including thd new-to-me Helen Merrill! Also the Coles, Gene Ludwig, Dave Hubbard (!), the missing ones (within thr series that is, which again still misses more) by Paul Jeffrey, Buddy Terry and Charles Williams (one has Bubba Brooks, the othe Bubba Williams - is that a mistake or was there a Bubba Williams, too?).

Thanks, missed that connection (didn't click the link, too many things floating around in my head these day, short attention span and all that being one of the sorrier consequences).

Thread led me to look for an acceptably-priced copy of the Collector's Choice Forrest/Goodman set ... arrived yesterday, first impression of it is pretty good indeed!

Ah, ok. Won't bother me then. Was afraid it was an Ace-like butcher job a la Caliman or something and I didn’t notice Who's Judd Apatow and why should I know? And how relates he to any of this?

What's wrong with the previous reissue?

Well yes, of course ... had those for many years on the Giuffre Mosaic box already. Those are the really lame ones though, the better ones are the two cuts (performed as a suite) on the "Third Stream" LP. Still that is just a beginning, too ... I think Giuffres clarinet would have been a really cool addition, but then Lewis (and Giuffre) would have had to work some to add it to the group, not just to have it play along.
