I'll compare them once I'll be back home next week!

shucks, just wanted to share the good news... here's the post I prepared to start a new thread with (under "new releases"... didn't check here first, this isn't actually a reissue, even though the music's not from this or last year...) You can get it here for 22.90 euro - no clue about shipping costs... as I am lucky to be in Vienna until next Sunday, I'll drop by and get me a copy in the store within the next days! Wowee! Volume 1 is here, and discussion of it here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=19659

Saw Sheila Jordan with Fritz Pauer's trio at Vienna's Jazzland last night - magnificient!

a great many reactions here, huh?

I just found Lou Bennett's "Enfin" in a store in Vienna - in fact it just now ended its first play on a crappy hifi system in our flat-for-two-weeks here - very nice one! Short, but good! (I have the Royal Jazz disc, too - good one, but sound is pretty bad... wouldn't pay too much for a crappy reissue of that by the Gambit thieves - I found the Royal Jazz on sale a couple of years ago, only.)

I've seen it in Vienna at a similarly low prize (I think it was around 20 euro, maybe a bit below, even) - didn't get it... yet... will drop by that store again next week, maybe check a couple of other stores, too.

Just dropping by to to say thank you, Jim! I've been on vacation but checked the forums just before leaving on Sunday morning, and there it was again! Looks good, although I haven't spend more than an hour here, in total, since being away from home (internet browsing isn't what one does when finally on vacation again for a change, is it?) - anyway, it does look very nice, I like it being blue - it's indeed easier on the eyes!

I'm in, too! Will post my replies now that the board is back up (I'm on vacation now - will be bare-bones reply, pretty bad timing that the board had to be down right while I wanted to wrap up my BFT...)

Also played disc six yesterday, the Jimmy McPartland sessions - not bad, again. Some very nice Tyree Glenn trombone, and that Dick Cary chap is interesting! Looking forward to hearing his own date on disc seven! Oh, and before I forget, some nice Coleman Hawkins (AND Bud Freeman) on the "Music Man" album, too!

Quickly approaching end of disc five - a most enjoyable 2 1/2 discs by the Rampart Street Paraders!

I went from zero to most of Ammons' OJC/Fantasy discs within a few months and love most of it! Favourites, off the top of my head: - Gene Ammons Story: Gentle Jug - Gene Ammons Story: Organ Combos (or what's it called again?) - Jug - Boss Tenor (RVG edition readily available) - the various Jams, can't name a favourite... maybe "Blue Gene"? - the album that's partly w/big band, "Late Hour Special" (I love this one quite some!) - Up Tight (a great twofer, all just Jug with piano & rhythm) But as others said, almost anything is worth hearing!

Just finished disc three - the Hackett sessions are pretty nice, the second is very good! The material that follows by Matty Malnock and the first Rampart Street Paraders date are fine, too - much better I think than the Dorsey material. Eddie Miller on tenor is pretty good - I have positive memories of him from the Classic Capitol Mosaic set, too. And Abe Lincoln on trombone isn't bad, either - he's great opening up "Sheik of Araby"!

Playing the Condon Mob right now. Disc one with the Bud Freeman & George Wettling dates are terrific (dig Cozy Cole! Hellyeah!) But disc two is a pretty lame Dorseylandbanddixieland schtick... makes me want to reach for the Blue Note dates with Sydney De Paris, James P. and Dickenson! Looking forward to discs 3 etc. now... the only one I played right when I got the set was disc eight - with the two Wild Bill w/strings tracks - too bad the Arbors disc of the two albums is gone! these two cuts are terrific! - and the whole Lee Wiley stuff (all three of her 1950/51 Columbia 10 inch albums).
