Belated best wishes! :party:

Belated best wishes, Hans! :party:

Happy Birthday! All the best, Mike! :party:

not sure if any of these qualify as great finds, but all were cheap (except the Eubie Blake cost around 12 €, but for a double LP...) Count Basie/Joe Turner - The Bosses (Pablo) Joe Albany - Portrait of an Artist (Elektra) The Trumpet Album (Savoy) - arr. by Ernie Wilkins, feat. Shorty Baker, Emmett Berry, Art Farmer, Ernie Royal, Charlie Shavers on the first LP, and Donald Byrd, Ray Copeland, Royal, Idrees Sulieman, Joe Wilder on the second LP (with Don Abney, Wendell Marshall, Bobby Donaldson (LP1), Kenny Clarke (LP2) Friedhelm Schönfeld (Amiga Jazz) Polish Jazz 1946-1956: From "Improvising Jazz" Series, Early Polish Piano Players (Polish Jazz Archive Series, Vol. 4) Charlie Rouse - Cinnamon Flower (Douglas) Erroll Garner - Play It Again, Erroll! (Columbia 2LP) Eubie Blake - The Eighty-Six Years of Eubie Blake (CBS 2LP) Spinning "The Bosses" right now, lovely (and featuring the late great Louis Bellson on drums)

Yup, forgot the Dizzy - great one! The Edelhagen I didn't know - anyone has an opinion? What's the exact title, and who are the soloists? (Edelhagen led a mighty fine band, so I wonder - could well be worth looking for!)

as for Michel Doneda... I haven't been playing that kind of music for a while (a year or even two), but I remember liking this one quite a bit: Michel Doneda, Jack Wright, Tatsuya Nakatani - From Between (SoSEditions) Bagatellen review, One Final Note review, AAJ review I also have "the difference between a fish" by Doneda/Leimgruber/Rowe, but I'd need to give it a spin to say anything about it.

That's cool that they adding these "Originals" to this low-prize series! Earlier ones with complete albums were Clark Terry (Clark After Dark) and that other Ingfried Hoffmann album, "Hammond Bond" (which contains a full album plus some bonus tracks - on those you get Thomas but he's weaker there than the other guitar player on the main album!) That Dexter/Hampton is one I've wanted to hear for years, will definitely look for it! The Griffin as well, most welcome! Also the Hoffmann of course, and maybe the Hubbard... but these keep popping up in sales here (I just got the Ellis last week, for about 6 euros - not played yet -, I doubt they'll re-stock there with the new titles though, usually the cost about 8 euros here).

Yeah, that Mellé comparison and the fact that I finally got my record player hooked up in the flat I'm actually spending most of my time leads up to me wanting to play "Tome VI" again soon... the Fofo I got to play again as well, it's nice! (All three of those "hors série" 2CD sets are nice, the Distel may be my favourite, though the album on disc two is a bit weak).

I posted a short review a while ago here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&pid=449707

Would fit nicely with Fresh Sound I guess... there'd certainly be some Bethlehem sessions with which they could pair it... I'd jump for that one, too! (No idea if it's seen reissue, btw)

Lance the [add your favourite medication]-head? Why the hell has he got to come back? And is Cancellara really clean? I mean, he seems nice and all, but that would make it even easier to fool the press and public... (not that I really care, but I did cycle in my teen years... and I'm bored at work today, so...)

how stupid can you get?

What, completely untracked? You don't even get a new track for side two of the LP? Weird! I dimly remember seing that CD in a store... yeah, thinking of it, I might have even left it there because I thought it was a bad copy because it was untracked... too bad, I guess I should have got it while it was still there!

Waiting for the La Porta to arrive from Paris The few tracks I've heard on the "Debut Story" box were a thrill! (And so is the Fantasy "Theme and Variations" disc, get it while you can!)

Isnt' all of this music available elsewhere without the overdubs already? I don't have "Living Space", but some may be in the Classic Quartet 8CD set? I also have that "Cosmic Music" disc or whatever it was called - there, I think Coltrane plays bass clarinet as well, doesn't he? (Sorry, posting from work...)

"Ascension", because of the elevating effect... seriously: nothing in particular, might be some piano stuff, might be some Moodsville like things, or just some pre-bop stuff... or some nice easy hardbop (the "Idle Moments" style, or Grant Green's sleeper "Am I Blue").

happy belated zen etc...

Oh, shit, another case of crazy used sellers on amazon I love Langston Hughes' poetry, so I'd love to hear this some day...

Btw, I've often wondered, was "Louie" just his preferred spelling or was he actually called "Louie"? Or was he just called "Louie" but would have preferred "Louis"?

Wow, I wasn't even aware he was still around! The VEE is nice! I happened to play a whole lot of Johnny Hoges from the mid 40s to the mid 50s over the weekend, and in the final period of Hodges' own band, Bellson did a great job! R.i.p.

so there's the LP sized 2CD + DVD ridiculous deluxe release there's a 2CD Legacy edition and there's a 2CD + DVD fat-digipack-edition which costs about two zloty more than the Legacy edition... I have the music in the Miles/Coltrane Sony 6CD box and am not audiophile enough to care for any upgrades, nor do I care much for the partial takes and false starts that I don't have - main thing is the alternate of "Flamenco Sketches" and I have that one. So how about the DVD? Is the one in the cheap edition identical to the one in the ridiculous edition? Is it worth seing? Does it contain some musical footage of worth or just some short bits and pieces and lots of talk/interview segments?

Those Montrose/Gordon albums are fine! Always a pleasure to hear Bob Gordon! You ought to look for the West Coast Classic, too!

Paul Moer also appears on a pair of fine Jack Montrose albums (with Bob Gordon!), "Arranged/Played/Composed by Jack Montrose" (Atlantic, on a Koch CD), and "Jack Montrose Sextet" (Pacific Jazz, part of the West Coast Classics series, a twofer with a 10 inch album by Gordon, I think also with Moer). Then he was on Paul Horn's "Something Blue" (Hi Fi Jazz/OJCCD) and also on some Graas/Jazzmantics etc sessions, check yourself here: http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&s...difexqtgldse~T4

I still need to play the Hep 44/45 3CD set and the Hindsight 3CD set first... but I think I'm growing to be more of a fan each time I play some of Shaw's music! I'll also need that Freshsound disc with the 1949 recordings: The Artistry Of Artie Shaw And His Bop Band 1949 Artie Shaw Featuring: Artie Shaw (leader, cl) with Don Paladino, Don Fagerquist, Dale Pierce and Vic Ford (tp), Sonny Russo, Fred Zito, Ange Callea and Porky Cohen (tb), Herb Steward and Frank Socolow (as), Al Cohn and Zoot Sims (ts), Danny Bank (bars), Gil Barrios (p), Jimmy REFERENCE: FSRCD 397 BAR CODE: 8427328603973 PRICE: 9.90 € In 1949, just before he was about to start yet another big band, Artie Shaw made the following statement: "We'll find an identity. Perhaps it would be fairer to say I'll find one. Sooner or later all bands that stick find an identity, and find it through their leader. All the sounds -the creative arrangements, the pop tunes and the originals - must be channelized through the leader." And on September 14, 1949 Artie Shaw was back on the bandstand, opening at Symphony Hall, Boston. The band's book contained both old and new material, and it was the first time Shaw had gone on the road with a band for many years. The 1949 band features a mixture of numbers associated with the Shaw bands of the early 40's and some in a more modern vein from new writers/arrangers such as Tadd Dameron, Johnny Mandel, Gene Roland and George Russell, with the more exotic Latin sounds coming from the pen of John Bartee.
