I know, of course! But then we can add Boyd Raeburn, Stan Kenton, Duane Tatro... just thought that wasn't what the thread-starter had in mind, originally! And of course the not yet mentioned George Russell!

Well, I thought from the opening post bands like Gil Evans, Jones/Lewis etc weren't "modern" enough for what you're looking for... if that's not the case, add Gerry Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band. And add the Clarke-Boland Big Band! Further worth mentioning are the various editions of Dizzy Gillespie's big bands (with the forties one being the most amazing, of course, but the 1956/57 and the 1968 ones were mighty fine as well). And big from me for the BoB of course! Also for the previously mentioned ICP Orchestra and the Italian Instabile Orchestra - those two may well be the favourites among the currently performing ones! Brötzmann's Tentet as well! And Michiel Braam's Bik Bent Braam is worth listening to as well! Then there's Barry Guy's New Orchestra (and before his London Jazz Composer's Orchestra). Further, Alexander von Schlippenbach & Globe Unity George Gruntz with "The Band" (co-founded by him and Daniel Humair as well as Flavio and Franco Ambrosetti), later known as George Gruntz' Concert Jazz Band. Then until recently, there was the Vienna Art Orchestra.

What are you missing? One of the best ever recorded jazz albums! Simple as that!

no one mentioned the Willem Breuker Kollektief yet!

Bought the new CD set yesterday - looks and sounds good to me, but I've not compared to the late 90s disc I've got (never had/heard the earlier complete edition). The disc is around so cheap, I guess it won't do much harm to get it! What's that other 2CD set with sons and fathers of Johnson? Worth getting? Anyone has an opinion on it yet? Tracklist

I don't know that record. She's great elsewhere on any number of albums IMO. Love that record - including her singing. Different strokes, I guess. Love it, too! Interesting, never looked at them that way!

Very sad news! Bad way to start the weekend, for sure... dammit!

Are you sure about the access part? I was disappointed by the Coltrane release which still has the fake applause in... which suggests that either they didn't go back to the original tapes, those tapes were lost, they used a later generation tape, or they don't have access but are another shady enterprise (operating of course anyway within the 50 years limit).

That Wes looks cool! How would ABC/Thiele have gotten involved with this? Did they license Riverside stuff for a while after Riverside had gone belly-up?

Yes, Antibes is a favourite here, too! Booger adds quite a lot to it, it has a looser, more open feeling than "Mingus Presents Mingus", which makes it rather different... quite clear why the studio album got to be the classic, but I love to have both!

So between my old post and this thread: do we agree that the four Mingus Candid discs hold the entire output? Not sure I ever compared the versions on CANDID DOLPHY with the Mingus ones (speaking of "Body and Soul (Take 2)" and "Reincarnation of a Love Bird (Take 1)" on CANDID DOLPHY and "Body And Soul (alt)" on MYSTERIOUS BLUES and "Reincarnation Of A Love Bird (tk 1)" on REINCARNATION OF A LOVE-BIRD, respectively). Other than the CANDID DOLPHY disc and this recent disc pictured above, I see no overlap between the Candid disc and with regards to your karma recommend you buy the four Candid discs instead of the new copycrap 3CD set!

Enjoying that I've helped a friend to get a mint Curtis Fuller CD-set for under 50$ - very nice one!

Thanks, halfway into reading this Opera keeps crashing (installing updates and doing stuff without asking me first)... and now as it seems to work again, of course the tune coming from my stereo is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Yes, the Bley site is wonderful! Love it!

Ok, guess I have to hunt for that CDR... maybe the timing in my list is just off by a few minutes, or the speed is different.

Well, seems I bumped up the wrong thread (a search didn't bring this one up at all). Happy Birthday, second time, Jim!

Happy Birthday, Jim! :party:

Yes, correct. Not sure if these are live on stage announcements, radio or tv host talk or whatever... would have to dig up the disc to check.

My Prague version looks like this: 1. Ann; 2. My Favourite Things; 3. Ann GC; 4. Griff's Groove; 5. Box 703, Washington D.C.; 6. Ann GC; 7. Here The Good Wind Comes; 8. Nights In Warsaw; 9. Ann GC; 10. What a Regal Aspect Yet Retains; 11. Ramo de flores; 12. Ann GC; 13. I Don't Want Nothin'; 14. The Turk; 15./16. An Thence We Issued Out Again To See; 17. Appl; 18. Box 703; 19. Ann Sorry for the awkward formatting... it might just be talk and announcements that they cut short, who knows. Don't have that disc at hand, but it needs some work anyway... my list says it's 75 min.

I guess my favorite right now is "Wahoo" - but I've not spent nearly as much time with the later BNs on the Select... and I enjoy "Sweet Honey Bee" and "The Right Touch" a lot, as well! Also got the two trio albums from a board member some months ago (I've known them but never owned them before) and they're very nice, very moody in a good way. The two Atlantics are fine as well!

Great news, Mike!

Another bootleg, methinks... must have audio of it, but never saw the DVD. Though if it's 1967-10-22, my audio version is 75 minutes! What I do have is the CBBB episode of "Jazz gehört & gesehen" (Köln, 1969-01-16) The "Faces" footage, btw... there seems to be a version from Zurich, Switzerland indeed, I have 43 minutes from May 1970, with some note about "Hazyland" (whatever that was, probably connected to Hazy Osterwald?). Again, I only have audio of it, alas.

and more detailed here: http://universalmusic.it/jazz/album/?ida=306618 (search for the artist, then chose "discographia" and pick the release you want information on)

The Campi film? That was great! I think it was on the German/French arte TV channel - and I think I don't have it on DVD, just watched it when it was on... would love to catch it again, the interviews with all the guys (Johnny Griffin!) and the music - it was great to watch AND liste for a change! Got to dig through my DVDs to see if I might have it... @Mike: good decision! I'm in no position to confirm 100% the provenance of the four bonus tracks, but as Jazz Lips is one of these annoying outfits that thinks a CD is only valuable if it clocks in at least at 79:45, it's very unlikely they offer anything rare or special there... the two Drevo/Drewo (I deliberately chose the other spelling above so a search would still bring this thread up) albums are both fine, the first one has him with 'bones and rhythm backing, the second has the full CBBB backing him.
