Yup, have those 3 LPs of the Amsterdam set - good sound there! The Bremen, if it's the "usual" source (Ingo, 3 LPs) should sound quite a bit worse, but maybe they found a better source?

Spinning my new vinyls... and before: Also, is an 80s LP of Booby's "Total Eclipse" worth around 15€ or so?

Thanks a lot! So my hunch that all the trumpet players are heard was correct - much appreciated! I hope sidewinder sees this before he starts his expedition

bought today: with performances by Jaki Byard, Dave Samuels, Bill Frisell, Steve Lacy (all solo), the Carla Bley Band doing "8 1/2", a suite by Muhal Richard Abrams, Sharon Freeman etc, a David Amram quintet track, as well as a William Fischer-conducted medley feat. Wynton & Branford Marsalis, George Adams a.o. the later cost some, the others were all fairly cheap!

The Amsterdam also has Coles. Beats me why they have to dub this as Mingus/Dophy Quintet/Sextet. http://www.onttonen.info/mingus/1964.html

would be much appreciated if you could check!

Anyone? Do the original liner notes contain the info I'm looking for? They're not included with the CD!

Gee, reminds me I still got a half bottle of Glenlivet at my parents'!!! Happy birthday, Chuck - and thanks for all the great music you produced!

In an ideal world, everybody would love everybody. (I think) nah, total harmony is the end of it all...

Does anyone have soloists listings for this date? I'd be most interested in identifying the trumpet soloists (the trumpet section consisted of Donald Byrd, Ray Copeland, Idrees Sulieman and Bill Hardman - quite a trumpet section!), but I also wonder about the 'bone players: all solos by Cleveland, or does Frank Rehak (or even Melba Liston) have a spot, too? And the alto sax? They're Sahib Shihab and Bill Graham... who'd be the lead player? I have the Bethlehem 2CD reissue (John Coltrane - The Bethlehem years) that combines the Blakey Big Band album and the Pettiford part of "Winner's Circle" on disc 1 and contains a second disc with a ton of outtakes from the big band session(s). The CD contains new liners (how new I don't know) by Art Lange (best known for longish and boringish liners on hatOLOGY discs) that weren't proof-read and contain some embarassing fluffs (Griffin instead of Mobe on "Tenor Conclave"...) Would be happy about any additional information!

Yeah, in an ideal world, everybody would love Hank Mobley (and Lucky Thompson... and Pres!)

Yeah, I guess I need a fact-check or some such... the world can be such a drab place.

and he knows how to drop down from palm trees...

"Poetry" is mighty fine!

yup - scheduled for late May it seems is: hatOLOGY 679 Vienna Art Orchestra A Notion In Perpetual Motion I'll have to get that one. Recently bought "Tango from Obango" (but as a single LP - seems there's a 2CD or 3CD set of that?) Their discography is actually pretty big: http://www.vao.at/v2/display.php?id=61

It was part of this 3CD set: (the other discs are a ballad album with various guest singers, and a "serious" composition album by Rüegg, which I think I played but once or twice) No leads as to where to find the Dolphy disc, alas.

Love the Dolphy disc, like quite a lot most of what I heard by the VAO! The Satie disc (Minimalism of Erik Satie, Hat Hut) is excellent! Most of their stuff is OOP alas (more than a dozen albums on what I think was/is a Universal Austria sub, Amadeo or something like that).

The owls are not what they seem...

but you think Ware isn't? anyway, I think chewy actually meant the thread title as in "jazz album I got for free"

for the Buster Williams disc!

But that would still mean there are but a few dozen left... do these sets sell so slowly that this is no reason yet to put them on the "running low" list? That's sad!

The three marvellous Coltrane boxes from Concord - trying to go through Trane's stuff in chronological order...

Wanted to play some Walt Dickerson anyway... will turn into a memorial listen, I'm afraid. Also Bateman was fine on that United Artist album by Ken McIntyre with strings! My condolences to the family.

Got the "Sonny Stitt Plays Jimmy Giuffre Arrangements" reissue on the American Jazz Classics label today. They don't even bother to state what country the disc was produced in... and the bonus albums is of course taken from the Roost label and hence useless as it's in the Mosaic. But I bet the Fresh Sound disc would have cost more than twice as much at the same store...
