My Pullen and Richards arrived today, but both cost me a lot of taxes as the prizes were so high (both over 50 €) - that sucks, but at least I got them. The annoying thing however is, I got the Pullen, Dexter and Richards, but not the Shank/Coop and Pacific Trios. Of course it was the later two I really, really wanted to get!

My Dexter set arrived yesterday... still want the Pacific and Shank/Cooper, no idea if the final round of orders will come through, but I certainly do hope so!

As for Fred Frith, the Arte Quartett also collaborated with him: The one with Pierre Favre is the only one of these I actually own, it's mighty fine! Finally, there's one more on Intakt, with Lucas Niggli's Zoom:

Understandable , given that these tracks are likely part of a Voice Of America transcription disc of a concert performance in Europe (possibly Germany) . They're "in circulation"... I have the date as January 5, and Köln (Cologne, Germany) as location. Wright and White are only "probables" there... at least so say my files... nothing certain there, really, but I guess the compended "knowledge" of collectors is more reliable than the (useful though) crappy jazzdisco.org site.

Margo Channing Bette Davis Bob Dylan

Very odd. I'm pretty sure he never played the Cheltenham festival in 2007 and it would be an unlikely place for an international jazz gig outside of festival time. Could be wrong. He did play this year with McCaslin though not with Caine. It was fabulous! They fixed it now... it's just the Dave Douglas Quintet - I guess they read here...

Louis Chevrolet Louise Bourgeois Karl Marx

The Holy See Cees See Oliver Lake

Happy Birthday Ronald! All the best!

had a message from the post office in the mail yesterday... prolly me mono box is waiting to be bailed out (30$ or so for taxes... still a lot cheaper than buying it locally, where everything except some of the single disc reissues is out of stock anyway).

maybe you're right, but these two should fit:

I know, I was just adding more info to the US remasters from a few years ago - the first album wasn't part of that series.

Fannie Mae Freddie Mac Freddie Roach

As for the first album, I asked the same question (I think in the artists section's WR corner) and then bought the old (red frame) edition as well. And I also saw entries with 2009 and hence was wondering... Sony has a cheap series out here now, with no new liner notes, just a one-fold flimsy cover, on the outside you get the front and back covers (with a beige border) and on the inside, you get bare-bones discographical info plus production credits. I got the "Bill Evans Album" a couple of days ago (finally!) and also saw Garner's "Body and Soul" and "Concert By the Sea" in such editions (also some Miles, I think). The Evans looks like this (I think the beige border is a bit larger in real): Maybe the first WR album is around in such a version as well, hence the 2009 date? I haven't seen it however.

I didn't think of an embargo, rather sending some complaint letters, but I guess that's useless with such a huge corporation...

Yes, I got those US remasters as well (I have five, didn't upgrade "Heavy Weather" yet). Not sure "I Sing the Body Electric" was actually part of those remasters, but it looks nice and fancy... it was probably done in between the old ones (with red frames and masterworks logo in one corner) and the other newer ones (which would then be five: Sweetnighter, Mysterious Traveller, Tale Spinnin', Black Market, Heavy Weather). Live in Tokyo I have as a European edition with hardly any information on it. Then there's the Live & Unreleased 2CD set as well. The rest is just old versions, as far as I know. (But I'm not that interested in later WR, which is why I didn't upgrade Heavy Weather yet... it's the early open and experimental stuff that fascinates me.)

That's a great album! But I guess I'll stay with my old Warner CD... Mosaic Contemporary made some weird choices, offering stuff that is/was readily available for years.

yes indeed! and we customers should kick EMIs ass for letting this whole thing happen in the first place!

Yup, Miles... Relaxin', Round About Midnight, Porgy & Bess...

Also Ellington small groups, or anything by Ellingtonians (Hodges, Gonsalves, Nance... maybe better not Cat Anderson, he he...)

Also the Grant Green one with Quebec! What's it called, "Born to Be Blue"? And "Hoagy Sings Carmichael" on Pacific Jazz. Then the crooners... Joe Williams "Men Ain't Supposed to Cry", some Little Jimmy Scott (the Wonderful one produced by Ray Charles), maybe the ballad album by Mel Tormé, and of course the ultimate one for the wee small hours... yup, Sinatra's "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning"!

Ah no - I play the Jones/Lewis when I want that groovy, soulful, swinging stuff... I'd never have thought of that one as late night listening... guess I got to give it a try one day! Some Basie small group jams might also be nice. Or Hawkins on Riverside and Prestige (the two that got the RVG treatment come to mind, but also the Hawk/Lockjaw one, and all the other stuff with Flanagan, on Prestige and Verve and Impulse). Also the bossa albums... Ike Quebec (actually not just his bossa, but all of his comeback albums on BN), Hawkins, Getz... Also Ellington meets Hawkins and Ellington meets Coltrane, and Coltrane/Johnny Hartman and "Ballads", and the Impulse "Coltrane" also... and maybe "Lush Life" and "Soultrane" from his Prestige time.

Hill and Basra would be too charged for my taste... also I guess anything by any big band, except maybe Thornhill...

this thread makes me think of "the old in-out" not sure that's a good thing or an appropriate remark...
