Belated best wishes!

followed with CD2 yesterday - mighty great stuff! now: discs 2 and 3 of the Mingus Debut box - the Massey Hall concert - drum solo, the trio set and the original tapes, which I've never heard before... with the bass boosted up a bit, they sound fine, though that interplay of his original and the newly overdubbed bass phrases, I think on "All the Things You Are", is of course a treat as well!

Thanks, I appreciate that!

up - anyone can help?

Miles - On the Corner - CD1

Wow, Stanko & Harper!? Not a match I'd ever have thought of!

Yeah well, I wondered why this english club football was even on Swiss tv... I guess as sort of a consolation for the european championship?

you're invited over if you like... another friend already announced he'll drop by with some beer, too

I tried to stick my head up my ass so hard that I got a hernia now...

Good news on the new trio disc! The soundtrack disc isn't new - maybe a re-pressing?

fell for Newbury again... shipping is almost as much as the discs themselves... but still quite cheap! 1 of Collaboration: West [Audio CD] Teddy Charles with Shorty Rogers 1 of Leroy Walks!

and if I hit "get a new identity", here's what came up next: the browser and windows version remains correct, btw. (I let it run though "Opera @ USB" if I want to surf disguised... not using that for the purpose of browsing Org, of course... also it's not good for downloading, as it brings speed down to a third or even a fourth - that's the prize you have to pay for this I assume relative at best, anonymity...)

There's some little software you can install to prevent this kind of thing.... but you'll need a different browser and it will slow down speed considerably... For me, the imgs from bluerein look quite accurate, but the ones I get with the other browser is quite hilarious: (sorry can't put up a larger img that's under 100 MB)

Ciao Ubu, How is the Byrd/Gryce 3 cd set? Thanks, Dr. Jeff The music's fine of course! But it's a bit weirdly programmed (not chronologically). I haven't been through all of it, but have played about two thirds of it. Don't expect me to give any nuanced reports about sound, but it never sounded particularly bad or weird to me. Sad that such fine music isn't being released by the legitimate owners!

Well, I sent them an email with this suggestion... I'd love to see these albums getting treated right! But I guess indeed with Fresh Sound in the game, chances aren't that good.

Happy Birthday, Chuck! :party:

I keep meaning to get that Weston Select. MG Oh, you absolutely should! Even more so knowing your taste in African music! Disc three from that point of view is most fascinating! But then on disc one you get Johnny Griffin and Ray Copeland as well as KD, Hawkins and Roy Hayes, too... I played the whole Kenton Presents box yesterday - pretty nice! The Holman material is great, the Rosolino as fun as you'd expect his music to be, the Cooper... well, Sy Johnson's liner notes are a treat, and I guess he's right about some of the Cooper stuff being not that great... anyway, once again Giuffre stood out as a solo voice wherever he appears! And Charlie Mariano is fine on the Rosolino sides, too! This made me think of sort of a companion Mosaic: wouldn't it be great if those Bethlehem "Plays" albums would be compiled? There are sessions by Stu Williamson, Charlie Mariano and Max Bennett, Rosolino is several of them (so is Claude Williamson, who's Kenton Presents could be added as a bonus), while the three leaders turn up as sidemen on the others' dates. It would likely be a four or five disc collection. However, I have no idea who owns the rights to the Bethlehem masters... but opening these up for Mosaic would bring some wonderful opportunities (mostly for Selects, I guess... Conte Candoli, Stan Levey, those East Coast series, the wonderful early Chris Connor material, some fine tenor albums by Zoot, Dexter, Booger... the Howard McGhee "comeback" albums... plenty of fine things there!)

Sad news

Though to be honest, those over there don't choose the most interesting items, either...

They outsourced/sold lots of the more interesting items to that other label - there's a thread about those reissues somewhere else.... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=39234

Yes, with Kessel it could be interesting enough... don't have much of the trio with Ellis (or the later one with Thigpen) and don't feel like buying much more than I have... but with Kessel - any idea how big that set would be? The bigger, the less likely I'll buy, I guess.
