Is that the Jazz Unlimited disc? If so, I have it as well. With Eldridge on the first few tracks? Played the two Harlem volumes over the weekend, lovely stuff! Some of it just nice, but some of it very good! Also it's cool to get a spotlight on overlooked/little-known musicians, such as Taft Jordan!

I have that old CD - lovely session! I think it's the only part of the box that I already know.

speaking of Elektra, an off-topic question: was there ever a Vol. 2 of "Pure Genius" by the Max Roach/Clifford Brown group?

I've seen this in a store last week... don't need it as I have the Rhino/Avenue Jazz reissues of both "East Coasting" and "A Modern Symposium..." (what a silly title!). What I wondered though was about the Langston Hughes album - I'd love to hear it, is it out on CD? Of course in this 2CD set, only the half with music by Mingus is included, so this package hasn't much appeal to me...

Yes, good news! Will have to get these two!

Mears also played with the Vienna Art Orchestra, not only on trombone but he (Aussie!) added the didgeridoo as well - a great musician!

Ha, interesting observation there - I can relate to that! Had no idea Bailey admired Barbour, but it somehow makes sense, if only soundwise (I mean with all the "avant" and "whimsicality" and experimental-ness of Bailey, he always had a "true", marvellous tone on his guitar, and he seemed to really love those old-fashioned hollow-body guitars, too!)

I'll need the Columbia! Got the Farlow (great!) and the Lee/Christy (very nice if you like those cool-voiced singers from the 50s!).

Gee, there's so much rare music, by comparison almost nothing on BN really rates as rare... take the 10 inch of West Coast reissues, they were all readily available for a while. As with books, after a few years CDs just go OOP, that's life. Now I'm sure there's some Blue Notes stuff that is very rare, though

Very sad, I love her! Just played her Ronnie Scott's album (ReDial) again last week! Larry, thanks for posting that great recollection here! Edit: I think I first heard her when I got the album "Give Him the Ooh-La-La" - the title song of that album is still among my very favourites! How she presents those great nonsens-ical lyrics - the definition of "hip" I guess!

That's he who wrote that beautiful song "Mystery of Love", right? I enjoy that each time I hear a Randy Weston recording of it! r.i.p.

I love those Russell albums! Don't know anything by Young besides. Sad news, r.i.p.

i like your question I like your liking of his question

That's great news! And Harrell should be an interesting partner, too! As for Trotignon, the last I heard (saw) was a concert with him on organ, in a band led by Stefano di Battista (with Fabrizio Bosso -t; Gregory Hutchinson -d) - pretty cool stuff!

Well, as Churchill used to say... Seriously: I cycled on "professional" level when a kid, but stopped with 16 because it just got too much, too time-consuming. That was before all hell broke lose (rightly so, alas)... A couple of years ago I started running a bit in the drier seasons, but just to be in motion a little bit, now and then, and for my general well-feeling. No ambitions whatsoever... And to finally answer the question: how 'bout intercourse?

ok, it's more complicated.... select "details" beneath the set you're interested in, a new page opens, then select "labelcopy" (whatever that's supposed to mean), then you'll get this for the Byas: Don Byas CD 1 1.

up?

The liner notes are pretty long. Even so, I was typing this one up on Saturday and was about 80% done when my computer froze. Sorry to hear that! Thanks for trying!

Maybe these are imports of the European-printed Universal OJCCDs (as I call them)? - They look like OJCs but have a Universal logo on the back and new numbers on the spines, also the Prestige/Riverside etc numers aren't listed there in brackets, as they used to be on most of the original OJCCDs... but the OJC logo is still there on the front cover.

Wow, that's cool about "In C"! Didn't know about that!

The one pictured above, that's the one in ECM's recent Touchstones Series, right?

There's a separate Gaslini thread in the artists section - but I considered throwing his name in here yesterday... then didn't in the end. Siegfried Kessler, the late great, who worked with Archie Shepp, is also worth mentioning. I only have one disc of his, on Marge/Futura/whatever Terrones label, Shepp sits in on two tracks, the rest is trio. Mighty fine. This comes to mind as just last night I watched a 1980 DVD by Shepp's quartet including Kessler. Some of the best Shepp from those years, I'd say!

Those are the same 11 tracks amazon.co.uk shows for the entry of the EMI reissue: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nina-Simone-Town-H...2530&sr=8-4 So I'm quite sure there were no bonus tracks ont that one!

- bonus tracks - The Amazing four from "Nina Simone with Strings": I Loves You Porgy Falling Love Again (I Can't Help It) That's All The Man with a Horn At Town Hall I think no bonus tracks, but that's the one I only have on the Collectables twofer (with Amazing sans bonus tracks) At Newport no bonus tracks Forbidden Fruit 11 bonus tracks: Porgy Is Your Woman Now (from "Nina Simone with Strings") Baubles, Bangles and Beads (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) *Gimme a Pigfoot (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) *Spring Is Here (previously unissued) Lonesome Valley (previously unissued) Golden Earrings (previously unissued) My Ship (previously unissued) 'Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do (previously unissued) Try a Little Tenderness (previously unissued) Old Yesh Home (previously unissued) *) different take of these were on "Nina Simone with Strings" At the Village Gate 4 bonus tracks from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere" (West Side CD 210) Eretz Zavat U'dvash Vaynikehu Sinner Man You'll Never Walk Alone Sings Ellington 5 bonus tracks Come On Back, Jack (45-614) Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out (45-158) I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl (45-647) Since My Love Has Gone (45-151) If Only for Tonight (45-156) At Carnegie Hall (2CD) (CD2 contains "Folksy Nina") 4 bonus tracks: Work Song (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Little Liza Jane (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Whill I Find a Resting Place? (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Blackbird (45-703) This is all there is... now just don't ask me to tell you which discs you ought to get because of the bonus tracks... I couldn't tell, as I bought them recently, except for "Forbidden Fruit" and "Village Gate" which I've had a bit longer, and for the first of them, it should be rather clear, with all these bonus tracks... those two have turned up as non-CC versions in local BN sales, that's where I first noted these EMI reissues at all.
