Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio Dave Brubeck - All the Things You Are (with Lee Konitz and... Anthony Braxton!)

Sad news - don't have any books of his, but what I've seen was always mighty good! r.i.p.

Got this one recently... it's much warmer than the "cool" noir sounds you might be looking for, but it's fine, nostalgic, recreating 40s LA, somehow (I guess that's the general idea behind Quartet West? Or at least the original one)... incorporating some music by Django/Grappelli, Jo Stafford, Chet Baker and Coleman Hawkins, as well as a short opening and closing bit from... you guessed it, "The Big Sleep", it works almost like an audio-film... very nice album!

sad news - r.i.p.

Congratulations! Time to spin the disc again, I guess...

No. The stuff on disc 4 of the #1 band set was out before (on Masters of Jazz) and it's worth the price of the set alone! It's absolutely fabulous, some magic Pres there!

50 now... waiting for the Herman Capitol... 8 Selects (Weston, Green, Brookmeyer, Amy, Williams, Tyner, 2x Hill) 1 Single (Wiley) That's scary, so many more in just 3 years... an a few hundred other discs, and a dozen or more other box sets... 69 big suckers 23 Selects 9 Singles again three more years gone by... the additional Selects mostly happened because of the great mosaic catastrophe that took place in the meantime...

See post #193 After mocking King Ubu for missing one of my post in the 'Ella in Hollywood' tread, I find myself in the same position for missing an earlier post here. I'll join Ubu in the Organissimo penitents corner

Oh, now I remember... but bear with me, it's almost a year!

I wonder, too... also I never heard about any production issues/errors before!

up - anyone has an idea where jazzdisco.org might have gotten their "early 1953" date from?

I've spoken to a few musicians, told them I enjoyed concerts etc, but the only autograph I got so far is from Rhoda Scott (see the Rhoda thread in the artists section for details). She signed the back of the booklet of the double disc "Very Saxy" that I brought with me, putting a little dedication onto the organ she's playing on the photo there - very nice to have this little memory of that great night!

It was deleted because it made too obvious a reference to bootlegs... or something along those lines. This IS the Miles in Boston thread now!

If pitch is variable, to get it right is a lot of work! I'd not trust any software... if it's wrong at constant speed (or getting faster/slower constantly as the tape runs) that can be fixed. But determinig the offset has to be done by someone with good enough ears... it's not mathematics! I'd not try this myself - I just follow instructions of others who I trust can provide the necessary information.

Terry Bozzio Clark Terry Terry Clark ahm, Terry Clarke, rather...

The bonus track on Lionel Hampton's Impulse album is "Jingle Bells"... quite a bit of fun!

Yes brownie, that's the one this thread was about originally! Very nice set, got to sit down and spend some serious time with it yet though...

Reading all your guesses it becomes obvious to mee how bad I got at recognizing tunes... I was much better at this some years back, but I guess having stopped playing (even if just for my own pleasure) makes a change in that. I love Trane's "Crescent", hence I should have gotten "Lonnie's Lament", and even more so I should have gotten "Filles"!

Verve/Universal is releasing this again as two 2CD sets in January: Vol. 1 & 2 Vol. 3 & 4 Haven't compared the tracklisting yet... Seems to be identical though: 4CD version

DISC TWO #1 - Sounds about like I'd imagine a McCoy Tyner big band to sound... solid stuff, a Jazz Messengers vibe... good tenor! Not Billy Harper by any chance? The tune sounds very familiar, too - even as it can be felt during the solos... #2 - Similar fare... electric bass, but more fine large ensemble music. Good groove! Very good trombone solos! Smooth soft sound on the second. #3 - More slick sequencing... theme sounds like a mexican bolero... lovely! Nice twangy guitar... and another great sax solo here! Very nice, how the balance between the soft and the exciting is kept! #4 - On we go... very good tenor solo, lovely sound! #5 - Oooh, and now we're definitely in Cuba? Nice stuff, but not my home turf, so I can't say too much about it. #6 - Another groove... guitar has a slightly arab feel to it, sounding similar to an oud here and there. Nice how it builds and releases tension. And another piece with two guitars - who'd have thunk it?! #7 - Great bass opening! Wow, this is nice! Soothing melody... or rather melodies, layered on top of each other by trumpet, alto, tenor, before the go into a theme with the tenor providing counterpoint... very good tenor solo, with fine bass accompaniment and some good sparse drumming (not recorded nicely though, the drums). Got to repeat this one... lovely! The alto almost sounds like a soprano in its first line! Love this one! #8 - Another nice and moody piece with slight hints at tango in the rhythm... nice one, but fails to grab me as much as the preceding track, though the trumpet solo beginning halfway in is very nice! #9 - Nice groove, catchy piano! Lovely tenor... catchy tune that does sound somewhat familiar. Like this one! #10 - Yowzah! Love this one with the accordion and the different rhythms stacked... very cool! Two accordions? Really? And here's a warm guitar sound I enjoy! #11 - Oh, what's that tune again? A staple! Love it! Solo guitar... not something I listen too often, Joe Pass would be the first to come to mind... or Lenny Breau. But I'm not familiar with neither's output, really. A lovely closer! Thanks a lot for the ride, Tom! Enjoyed it!

Happy Birthday, Jim!

There's another cheapo live boot 3CD set duplicating the Stratford set on disc 2 but also including a 1953 Blue Note, Chicago (disc 1) and a 1968 Vienna set - all for 4€.

One more thing... the question arose if this is really from Feb. 1955 (as given by Losin, too) - someone mentioned this might rather be from 1953? I'm no expert in Miles' schedule and when he had what band, but February 1955 would fall in place as a one-nighter... he only had his quintet later in 1955, right? And the Silver/Heath/Blakey (or Silver/Heath/Klook) unit wasn't regularly touring with him, I assume? They were just assembled for studio gigs regularly? I'll soon have speed-fixed files available (more via PN!)
