here's the post (click on that small symbol on top right, "Share this post", and then you can copy the link which comes up in a pop-up window) -- but alas those BNF links won't work: Here's a link to "Mr. Heine's Blues" that will hopefully work ... was there really ever a CD titled like that or is that some odditiy in the database of the BNF? http://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb39197872d Seems "The SoloSolal" was also part of this series -- another reissue I was totally unaware of: http://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb38215166f EAN 0042284311120 / MPS 8431112 (Boite) : POL 899 (discogs has no listing for that CD of "SoloSolal" ... and I hope the links work, for me they do, but that might one of those cache things)

It was ... both if these are very OOP though: In addition, there were two two-disc sets with the solo and live albums, respectively, and there was a single reissue of the friends disc. Most (but not all!) of Koller's albums were reissued as single discs as well.

Oh, wow, was totally unaware of that! The album was later reissued as part of Universal's bunch of Koller MPS reissues, with original cover art. Took me a while to find it, but I eventually did manage.

Yeah! Wish that "Solal Series" would have grown beyond this Vol. 1 back then ... but MPS in the CD era was always a mess, it seems. Some brave guys at Universal did the entire Mangelsdorff and Koller at least, but all in all it was a clear case of too little, too late. As I'm not into the DL thing really, Edel's remedy isn't doing that much for me, but having collected MPS CD reissues for a while (Motor Music, the stray one such as this Solal disc, the stray Japanese reissue, Universal and Promising Music series, also some of those most recent ones already by Edel I think with the "Spiegel Edition" cardboard slipcases), I've gotten pretty far over the course of almost 20 years.

album of the year (besides the upcoming Allen Lowe one, o'course)

"Suite for Trio" was on proper CD a while ago, with a foogly cover: "Nothing But Piano" and "Four Keys" I just recently played again (MP3 only, though I have the later on vinyl by now) - the former is ridiculously good, and the later better than I'd ever dare to consider, reading the odd line-up - I still prefer Solal/Konitz in duo or with b/d, but Scofield is playing some fairly straight jazz guitar here (don't think I've heard him doing so elsewhere), using very little of his harsh effects and stuff ... in fact his playing here reminded me a bit of Jim Hall a few times.

The Grant thing only gives the first of the two dates, but the selections might match what's a mix of both on the new set ... but I guess we'll only know for sure when we can hear it. Looking forward to this very, very much!

Would be interested as well! While looking for any write ups (without success) found this interesting article: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jan/05/erik-satie-jack-in-the-box-1926

Okay, okay, I want this! Still need the Bee Hive as well ... any time frame for the upcoming Pres set known?

Was VIK some kind of low-price sub of RCA's? Have to confess that Dockery (and De Brest) and - to a lesser extent also Bill Hardman - never really clicked with me ... I do enjoy all those "second edition" Messengers albums, the best of them are up with the best of Blakey's albums for sure, McLean was almost always an interesting voice, even in those early years ... and wherever Griffin turns up, I want to hear it! Guess I need to re-visit some of those albums again soon. Has the Cadet album ever been on CD?

That's the older edition. Reissue on Joe Haider's label looks like this:

Who is number 6, or does one count twice? Anyway, good luck with this Allen, I'll be in in a few days. I've really enjoyed the "Diaspora" series, have played it four times by now (a couple of discs more often than that), it's indeed a big amount of music to digest (and I'm afraid I didn't get that far with "Mulatto Field Radio" yet, need to dig that one up again as well). And it's not exactly easy music to digest, either -- but it's very much worth ones time and attention!

Earlier thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/78478-ric-colbeck-the-sun-is-coming-up/

love what I've heard of the series by La Venexiana - I've got the single releases actually, and just about when I had them all, the box came out, costing about as much (or little) as the three-disc Ottavo libro alone - so I'd say just get that box, take all the time you need, and maybe some by Concerto Italiano to have comparison (fifth and sixth books maybe? regarding their sixth, I once read somewhere that their earlier recording, done in 1992 and released by Arcana, was superior to the later naïve recording, so I got that earlier one used, certainly a nice disc, but I don't know the naïve recording, got the second and fifth there, the later actually on Opus 111, but that belongs to/was bought by naïve or something) you can also check out Les Arts Florissants under Paul Agnew, they did three discs of excerpts only though (I have one of them only, Vol. 2 / Mantova) re Consort of Musicke I guess I tend to agree, but then it was a disc of their recordings that made me curious enough to go for more, so it's not all bad ...

Just got "Ask a Woman Who Knows" (Japanese edition, +1, 14 tracks, the bonus one is a very nice one by Bob Dorough, "I've Got Just About Everything") - it's indeed a most tasteful record, maybe a tad too tasteful, but time will tell about that ... anyway, thanks again for the recommendation! Btw, Broadbent only arranged two (I think, reading the credits is a drag) of the songs, most are by Rob Mounsey (new name to me), three or four (including the Dorough track) by John Clayton.

related (Weiss w/Clifford Jordan), just in case:

Schwaller is pretty good, but I don't think I've heard him so early on (except with the early Vienna Art Orchestra).

My copies of the two Brubeck albums recently arrived, haven't played 'em yet. Also catching up on the "We Remember Poo" series and a few more Kikuchi items (a least one from the King series and I think one from the East Wind series) - these seem to be OOP (released in October, OOP when I wanted to order them from cdjapan after x-mas ... cost me some more going via various marketplace vendors) - anyway, here's a link: http://www.discogs.com/label/909924-We-Remember-Poo

I guess I'll get one from here: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UICY-77705

Need to re-listen, guess I have the same edition Chuck has ... never warmed to it as much as to some of the Impulse! albums of his, but I still remember it as very good. Anyway, the CD reissues were nice enough while they lasted - the entire Mangelseorff and Hans Koller were brought back, some mighty fine Rolf Kühn (that mini-series went beyond MPS of course!), and Promising Music took care of tome of the better free-ish albums, including "Fly Fly Fly Fly Fly" and the Tchicai one ... still, the label has so many treasures and browsing through these digital releases that's evident once more ... at least I managed to get the Solals (or most of them) on vinyl by now.

will definitely try and get the SME and the Colbeck - guess a pre-order is on order the Weston was reissued a while ago on a fine twofer with the other album from the same sessions/line-up: http://www.discogs.com/Randy-Weston-Randy-Westons-African-Rhythms/release/5190944

Pretty decent, all in all. Have some posts been deleted here?

Very, very sad! This hits me hard.
