Huh. I'd always thought that was Albert and Donald. Should've looked closer, I guess. Me too!

Also, in case anyone still doesn't have the Lyons box - it's compulsory listening in my small world! - that price on amazon.com (post #1 above) is rather ridiculous! Go straight to the source to buy it!

Checked back and just got a reply - seems it was an edition of 2000-2500 originally, and about 500 are left.

Sorry for the belated reply - on French and German Amazon, that "may need 1 or 2 days..." remark is very common and for regular CDs. So far I've only bought two CD-Rs on demand (both by mistake, but happily they start making it more visible when a product isn't a CD) and I must have bought two or three dozen regular CDs with that remark!

That remark is rather common on many amazon listings.

I guess you're right regarding the public they aim at, yes. Why a Wilen set? There was just one disc of his anyway in the Vogue series... would obviously love to see more, but as long as they're just repacking, Wilen's not an option!

I was just in touch with Stephane from Ayler Records (most delightful guy!) about an order and asked about this. He replied that it was not OOP and that they "still have a fair number of copies left"! Not sure where the notion that I was OOP came from! Needless to say, it's a terrific set and to me in many respects the crown jewel of the Ayler catalogue - and absolutely worth every penny!

Carnegie Hall 1949 is very good! Check here for some more JATP discussion:

Recently: Vols. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 9 of the James Brown singles 2CD sets Also yesterday an order from Ayler Records arrived: William Parker - ...and William Dancded Jemeel Moondoc Tentet - Live at the Vision Festival Fred Anderson / Harrison Bankhead - The Great Vision Concert John Stevens Trio - Live at The Plough and also this little jewel:

Weird cover on that one... the photo is from several decades after the music!

The Green is great! carpe diem, as Mr. Sangrey would say!

Which one are you talking of?

Where dat from? The Jamal might be of interest, the parts from "More Sorcery" that were taken from the same live sessions as "The Sorcerer" were added to the Master Edition reissue (which I got fairly recently - it's great!), the remaining parts of "More Sorcery" are from the 1967 Monterey Jazz Festival (with Bill Goodwin instead of Marty Morrell on drums). Not sure I'd buy that again just for these three tunes (they're "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "Spellbinder" and "Comin' Back"). The Coltrane sounds exciting - but is it just unreleased but well-known (widely circulated) or really something new, a gig that was not known to have been taped or anything? Even in the first case, I'd be all over an official release and possible sonic upgrade, but the second case would be much more exciting of course!

Excellent point

i find them worse actually, the recent JiP sets i got a bit used to, plus inside those cardboard things have the complete photographs on them with only little writing (iirc) so when they're open, those boxes don't look bad ... I see... just know them from the outside as I have no need for any of them

Yes, they're ugly... almost as bad the recent Jazz in Paris 3CD sets.

Didn't check, but there were two discs each by Mulligan and by Raney - so these might be complete. Solal had four, Brownie and Dizzy three each (but with Dizzy, the 1953 concert is pretty dispensable... one of what I consider his "fun years" - though I'm sure it wasn't that funny - where he played it to the people and didn't have the best of sidemen).

Yes, the Lady Day set can be had for 10£ on amazon.co.uk Also, amazon.de/.fr/.co.uk have great marketplace offers for the Lonehill set of Elmo Hope's trios.

Happy Birthday, Garth! (edit: why can't I embed this darn thing? -> ha, it finally worked!)

Happy Birthday, Al!

The Raney/Zollar is most likely from one of the NDR Jazz Workshops. I've got two (unreleased) parts of it on DVD. "Double Action" is indeed very good! Will check out all these videos at home tonight, thanks for compiling them!

I'm hooked by this series... got Vols. 3, 4 and 6 now, waiting for Vols. 1, 5, and 7-9 to be delivered in the next days/weeks. Amazon.com still has Vols. 1 and 5, but Vol. 2 is way over the top right now... anyone has a lead where I might find that one?

Forgot about the Woods, yes!

Don't think so - sorry, got you wrong there... Banks is on Harold Land's "Take Aim", but that's about all I know of him, I think. Richard Boone starred in "Have Gun, Will Travel"... nah, seriously, Boone is from Arkansas, went with Basie later on (late 60s)... wiki has some basic info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_B._Boone

Why not do a google? Martin Banks (trumpet) & Richard Boone (trombone) they are.
