(so Coleman finally realized Mabern is boring, too? )

Okay, thanks! Never completed my collection of these Jubilee Shows discs, but the three or four I have are most enjoyable, although sketchy (I'd prefer more volumes like the Hep disc, just compiling the music and omitting all the banter ... it's nice to be able to hear the shows as they were broadcast back in the days ... "is that your tie? -- no, that's my tongue hanging out" ... but all that stuff wears thin after one or two listens).

Thanks everyone!

great news indeed!

yeah, on that day, it almost feels like, yet none but historical guns with blanks, so there's the difference

I'm a bit embarassed .... not here regularly enough to catch most birthdays But thanks a lot, much appreciated! Day off since it's the day where poor sobs celebrate those guys that have mastered tax "optimization" and all that sh*t (actually some sort of welcoming of spring ... the guildsmen (no women of course! where would that lead us, shudder!) - nowadays something in between rotary club and informal business networks - parade through town on horses and their wifes throw flowers at them, while thousands of folks lacking in the brainz department go and watch and cheer ... in the end they'll ride around a "snowman" filled with explosives that is burned on a huge pile of wood (sometimes, a horse goes dead, alas rarley a guildsman, it seems), and the number of minutes until the head blows off is said to relate to how good the summer will be ... (statistically, it's totally irrelevant how long it takes, of course). After that, the rich ones go for expensive dinner and stuff, whilst the plebs grills sausages on the remains of the pile of wood ... does that sound crazy? Hell, it is! At least my order for rain was coming in on time For those interested, here's the wiki entry on this thing ... ought to be challenged, in its make-believe neutral tone, it's not : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sechsel%C3%A4uten

terrific disc, methinks!

And that's yet different than from what's on the Hep? Can't find my CD, so can't check right now. Sorry, my question was directed at bichos, John L posted in between and I only saw that later on - somehow I never counted such sessions (Jubilee, whatever transcriptions) with the regular studio material anyways - I'm well aware it was produced in a studio, but usually it seems in a more relaxed and faster manner ... and it was produced for different channels of distribution.

Sorry to interrupt, just to clarify: by Jubilee sessions by Pres as a leader, you mean "These Foolish Things" and "Lester Leaps In" from ca. 20 March 1946 (Jubilee #184) plus the sides done with Buck Clayton and Coleman Hawkins and to be found here: -- right? Re: Basie on Jubilee, I'm more confused... on quick glance, the only Jubilee hit under Basie in Bruyninckx is this this from 1943: -The Jubilee Shows Volume 2- : Count Basie Orchestra: Snooky Young, Harry Edison, Joe Newman (tp) Dickie Wells, Robert Scott, Louis Taylor, Eli Robinson (tb) Earl Warren (as,vcl-3) Jimmy Powell (as) Lester Young, Buddy Tate (ts) Jack Washington (bar) Count Basie (p) Freddy Green (g) Rodney Richardson (b) Jo Jones (d) Jimmy Rushing (vcl-1) Thelma Carpenter (vcl-2) Jubilee Show, New York, November 1943 One o'clock jump (theme) Jubilee 5010102 Jumpin' at the Woodside - Baby, won't you please come home (1) - Do nothin' till you hear from me (2) - Don't believe everything you dream (3) - I found a new baby - One o'clock jump - But then there's this, too, on Hep, with more (including above I'm not sure):

but ... 3) DVD Decrypter (which I should have tried right away, as DVD Shrink is a compression/re-authoring programme mostly) worked. So I've got a copy on my hard drive now, at least. It's 7.87 GB, so you'd need a two-sided DVD (not sure I even have a drive that can handle burning such).

in concert earlier tonight: Kammermusik-Soiree, Tonhalle Zürich (Kleiner Saal), 17 April, 7:30 p.m. Isabelle Faust - Violine Jean-Guihen Queyras - Violoncello Alexander Melnikov - Klavier Robert Schumann: Klaviertrio Nr. 1 d-Moll op. 63 Salvatore Sciarrino: Trio Nr. 2 (1987) Franz Schubert: Klaviertrio Nr. 1 B-Dur op. 99 D 898 encore - Robert Schumann: Klaviertrio Nr. 2 F-Dur op. 80 - III. In mässiger Bewegung wonderful! now playing:

two things: 1) Trying DVD Shrink - fails, alas - stops at 1% of the ripping/back-up process, VTS_01_0.VOB is causing troubles, it seems ... the glitch is there on the computer as well (almost to the second at the 1 hour 19 minutes mark), but of course there you just place the cursor at 1:19:05 or whatever you can get closest to it, and continue watching ... 2) Any idea who actually wrote the liner notes? I don't see any credits - maybe those guys credited with general production? (same btw. with the somewhat smaller but also lovely Ella Fitzgerald 10CD box which goes fairly cheap here, but contains none of the rarities and DVDs that make the Cole set so enticing)

I'm usually not too big on Geri Allen, without being able to say why exactly - but this disc is great indeed!

quite possibly so

Did David Baker tour Europe in March 1961 with Quincy Jones' big band? The recent "Live in Ludwigshafen 1961" disc on SWR/Jazzhaus gives no personnel listing but has Q introduce the band, and where Melba Liston would be expected, he mentiones David Baker. That and Sixten Erikssen (instead of Rolf Ericsson) are the two differences from the line-up given for the EmArcy Zurich recording, just a few days prior. Did they really change musicians mid tour? Changing swedish trumpet players, maybe, but american 'bonists? Here's the cover of the disc I'm talking about:

I think I first heard them on the ESP Holiday set.

Funny this comes up ... just checked the interwebs for news a few days ago as well ... we need more 1948 (I actually wanted to check if the All Stars date on the new Earl Hines set from Storyville was out on Fremeaux - but their latest volume cuts off a few months too early).

Okay, seems to be universal indeed - git news from the guy at Universal Switzerland who was kind enough to check another copy. Too bad! Will try ripping the DVD and let you know of the outcome. If you (@Fer) or anyone else also tries, please report the outcome! (On the positive side, I was granted a wish by Universal, which is highly appreciated indeed )

caught a bad cold last week and have been in bed for the weekend and today (and tomorrow, alas) - making use of the time to spin the 1964-66 McLean sessions in chronological order (including the four Lee Morgan ones) - still as wonderful as when I first discovered these recordings, almost 20 years ago

Same here, received today within about a week from when I ordered - no time to listen to yet, but another heads up for those who have any doubts about ordering from there!

An unbelievably dumb error, too! Thanks for the alert. Time to invade Britain again, it might soon be too late (I heard they try to unhinge the whole island and shift it to Panama, it's safer there, no yurpeens around )

Thanks for checking Fer! I read through that Hoffmann thread before buying and was a bit puzzled that no one had noticed, but of course I'm most guilty of buying faster thatn I can listen. Either way, I'll wait and see what the guy from Universal will write me once he got that other copy he secured. For the JATP, on very quick first glance, I had the impression anyway that the respective disc in the Hip-O-Select 3CD set sounds much better (but then that "clean-up" could be cause of other issues my ears aren't good enough to catch, who knows). The idea to rip that DVD might be worth a try indeed.
