Hm, I have some Blue Notes on both CD and LP, like Griffin's "The Congregation" - though the CD is the RVG while the LP is the Conn, I gather that should not influence the playing time, but then who knows. As for 45, I'd still not have anything to compare it with a CD... but if anyone wants to unload his single of "Moanin'" or that bonus track on Adderley's "Sump'n Else", I'd not reject such an offer...

some Fantasy booklets were incomplete or with such repeated and missing sections... I have a twofer (ca. 2001 or 2002, can't remember what it was, but someone else once asked for a scan of the page in question and I added a request there as well... to no avail) where one page of the notes was just plain black. And the RVG of that Earland "Black Talk" album had a repeated section of the notes and missed the final parts instead.

I just got "All the Gin Is Gone" to listen from a friend at work... looking forward! Also I might have to look for "Out of the Forrest"...

hm, I think actually it's a tad too slow - but I only have 33 rpm albums, so I can't really check... though of course I could have one run at 45 and then do the math... but in the end it only matters in case I'd do vinyl rips (which though I'd like to do now and then), if I'm just listening, I won't notice it really. I can't remember what was fixed back when it was fixed, but I think it was something about the motor, so maybe it's still got the same problem after all and it wasn't properly fixed.

Nice album; no long trax. MG yup, forgot about that... how about this one: Hugh Masekela - Home Is Where the Music Is I'm lovin' it!

I have one of these: Lenco L-75 any good? it was fixed years ago by a local store (long since disappeared - hifi shops went downhill before music shops will... only those catering hi-end customers seem to survive, as well as the huge cheap discounters) - anyway, it seems to have some speed issues, but I have no idea how to fix that, or rather how I could adjust that other than just have it running slightly faster than at 33 rpm (it allows continuous setting of speed but there are "steps" or whatever you'd call that at 16[?], 33, 45 and 78)

this one? I'd love to hear side a of this album - side b is on that Coltrane Complete Bethlehem 2CD set (which is all material by Art Blakey groups in addition to side b of the Winner's Circle album) edit: the link doesn't seem to show, check it out here: http://www.discogs.com/release/1181811

Some of those Robin Kenyatta things would also fit - Girl from Martinique for instance! And another for "Elegant Soul" (and "Soul Symphony" or how that other recent Rare Groove by Gene Harris was called again). Both very nice, I found!

Yeah, but the Yurpeen Universal/Concord CDs only seem to include one of those US discs... had all three been around in the past Concord/OJCs sales, I would have grabbed them.

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD RE-ISSUE ALL THOSE MASTERS OF JAZZ, AND THEN CONTINUE THE SERIES!!! IT WAS SCHEDULED TO BE ABOUT 15 (!!!!) CDS BUT ONLY HALF OF THEM EVER CAME OUT, AND THEY'RE ALL OOP AND IMPOSSIBLE TO FINED!

Mann playes many instruments in the fifties... including bass clarinet, not just on that one album. Though in hindsight, it's clear whcih was his main axe. It used to tenor sax early on though, I think. There's also a nice Bud Shank album all on tenor: and thinking of altoists on tenor, Charlie Parker did a two sessions on tenor exclusively, both under Miles' leadership.

You'd be surprised at how much better this album gets with optimal sound quality Yeah, I guess so - but with the time of CDs running out and my resources being small as ever (and stretched to the limits - frequently over the limits, alas), I simply stopped caring to upgrade things. I have maybe a dozen of those ZYX 20bits (including all five of those Baker sessions with George Coleman, some Cannonball Adderley, Nat's "Work Song", one of the Brubeck Jazz at the College of the Pacific, two of the Blakey Riversides and maybe a few more).

Oh, and yes - the Impulse material of the Jarrett American Quartet is great indeed! Pretty intense often! I don't have the ECM material (one album, two?) but I assume the sound alone makes for a rather different listening experience...

That Mike Osborne twofer "Border Crossing" is great, I find! A favourite Rivers album (vinyl) of mine is "Paragon", a trio with Holland/Altschul (Fluid 101). Also "Rendez-vous", a pairing with Mario Schiano, one of Italy's finest of the border-crossing kind, is pretty good (Vedette VPA 8375, vinyl again, also with Holland/Altschul).

Are you referring to the Gato Libre listing? It is correct, a band consisting of: Natsuki Tamura, trumpet; Kazuhiko Tsmura, guitar; Satoko Fujii, accordion; Norikareu Koreyasu, bass ... (I think I have all those spelled right). Gato Libre is well worth checking out if you haven't yet discovered them. Yet another fine project from Fujii and Tamura (does this couple ever sleep?)... oops, sorry for that! never heard of Gato Libre, will take a mental note! I still can't push myself to sell discs, that's why I was wondering... I see myself as a collector (ah heck, I *am* a collector) who wants to own as much by a particular artist as possible. But somehow I admire those who can got the "less is more" route. Can't buy that Berne, have got no money... but I was having a glance at your list nevertheless (masochist, I guess...)

I disagree with that. I had the SACD and thought it sounded poor because the tapes were in bad shape. But then I got the a japanese CD reissue (VICJ-60299), which sounds much better. Mike's and my reviews are available on SA-CD.net: http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/1610 Since then I also bought the 45rpm LP reissue, which again sounds better than the japanese CD, and provides state of the art Riverside sound. It shows that the SACD is a greatly missed opportunity to offer this album in the best possible digital reissue form. You guys are crazy! I have this one in a cardboard ZYX 20bit edition and will not replace it... it's far from the greatest ever hardbop album anyway, in my opinion!

one that fits and I just got: Freedom Sounds: People Get Ready (with Wayne Henderson) (Atlantic) edited to add AMG review - source: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:kbfrxqukldse

another sale at allegro: http://www.allegro-music.com/label_search.asp?label=HEP

Yes, that Bennie Green album is great! Still have some vinyl of that one (Bainbridge reissue I think, ugly green cover), but by now also got it on CD...

Sorry, forgot to say it was by Edison, but I see others jumped in. It has Jimmy Jones on piano, just in case you don't like him (some seem to not like him very strongly here).

MG, the Verve Elite Edition twofer "Swinger/Mr. Swing" is another sideman appearance worth metnioning! Superb music, as the other guy from Zurich (not Lake Zurich, Illinois... we have a lake and a city, we don't need to have it all in one!) already mentioned. I have three of the OJCs, grabbed them when Concord started clearing the warehouse, haven't played them very often yet, but they all sounded good to me! They are "Forrest Fire", "Sit Down and Relax", and "Most Much!" I've wondered about this one - worth hearing? For Forrest and/or Miles? source: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=520000

Shouldn't that be "Pago Libre" (a band)? And "Lawn Chair Society" is by another Kenny (Werner, not Wheeler). Are these duplicates, or just stuff you don't really enjoy any longer?

How about the (Jazz) Crusaders? I'm only just getting started with the live Blue Note albums (excellent! Though I couldn't say which one's my favourite yet), next up might be the Mosaic or some of the early Crusaders (without the Jazz in the band name) albums now out in Universal's "Originals" series. The BN albums are all on the going-OOP list, by the way!

Thanks a lot! I have the Dragon disc, but it's been a long time that I played the interview part. Here's the Ted Blume interview: http://www.slought.org/content/11161/ info:

That must be new. These CD-Rs have been discussed at least twice in other threads, there others also pointed out that only in the small print below somewhere, it said that these were CD-Rs, while on the top of the listing it said "Audio CD". I wouldn't have bought one of these, otherwise (it was Patton's "Accent on the Blues", I think it cost 13.99 - I'm also of the opinion that 10$ is the maximum prize to ask for a lossless download, or if they prefer selling that, a CD-R) I haven't read this whole thread yet, but why don't they give us the option to get a download and then ask a bit less for that? Like that, they could justify the higher costs for a CD-R by comparison, as that needs to be manufactured by someone (burned at 52X I'm sure! I'll have to rip the Patton and make my own burn of it!) and then brought to a post office as well.
