Happy Birthday!

yeah, rub it in

Yeah ... I'm a bit annoyed by now, since I also think that whenever something is kick-started by a crowd-funding campaign those that help funding it should get a head-start of at least a couple of weeks (but that does not seem to be the case pretty often, at least going from my own limited experience). Anyway, I'm really looking forward to hearing the album eventually, but as of now, I'm unwilling to buy it since I already did, two years and seven months and some days ago

Thanks Chuck, appreciated. I wrote a while ago but am not even sure I got a working email address.

Yeah, just noticed "Here 'tis" having gone OOP, too ... the Byrd I luckily bought a few weeks ago. I'd wish they'd list those end-of-availability-dates on CD Japan or wherever, it's really difficult to prioritize (the entire Big Band series from Universal seems to be OOP as well - some of the series seem to be OOP almost as soon as they're released, so pre-ordering is the only way to get hold of 'em).

Has anyone actually received "Pomegranate" by Stephen Haynes by now? I took part of the funding campaign, and I wrote a mail a couple of weeks ago inquiring ... I *am* patient, but ...

sorry, was on vacation, but I meant just what felser spelt out

will try, but as I'm on vacation for about a week from tomorrow, it might take some time

1959, I thought. And I almost didn't reply to this thread because I knew I would forget someone major. And I did. Herbie Nichols on Blue Note! You're right, sorry! Released 1960 on Hifijazz, not sure where I got 1961 from. And yeah, Herbie Nichols of course! His was one of the first names that crossed my mind seing this topic, but he's been mentioned and I'm not sure how useful it is if I do another list of artists already mentioned

Thank you! and to continue.... I've a duplicate of 'The New Standard' - Jamie Saft, Steve Swallow, Bobby Previte https://www.rarenoiserecords.com/jukebox/ssp/tns/ UK or European home required. please PM taken, just in case going on vvacationfor a few days now, but I'll see to have something to pass on, too ... got some duplicates around (actually passing on duplicates all the time, just not in this thread ...)

The best trio album by Hope (Jeff mentioned it, Hifijazz/Contemporary/Fantasy) is from 1961. Not that it matters much since it fits the bill.

Can't leave it to Bev to judge dead maestros.

Very sorry to hear about this, Dan!

You will, of course, know that Tom posts on this forum as umum_cypher. mais oui, bien sûr

Congrats, Dan!

Thanks! Haven't really made up my mind yet on these ....

look here:

Would like to know that, too! Anyone has any ideas, Lon maybe? hm, wait, could it be those duo sides that later popped up on Riverside and then on an OJCCD?

well, mostly it's compilations that probably were of use back in the fifties ... no idea where exactly the Parker sides come from (Savoy or Dial I'd assume), the Miles Davis is the Blue Notes I assume, as is the Bechet, the Brubeck either Fantasy or early Columbia material, the Pres possibly something similar to that double LP from Columbia's (Memorial Album?), the Charlie Christian should be wide-spread, too, so is the Getz, the Tatum ... possibly the Mulligan is more from Vogue's own Salle Pleyel recordings (or it's just Pacific sides, maybe Gene Norman and/or Fantasy sides added) etc. etc. maybe if you grew up on those Vogue compilations in the fifties, you might be interested out of purely nostalgic reasons, but frankly I can't even really see that ... as for "Jazz from America on Disques Vogue" - most of what's so far been reissued has been "Jazz from America", too, but recorded FOR Vogue, not just released ON Vogue. And there'd be plenty more for another volume (or even two?) alike the wonderful first box.

There were Spanish editions of all three of these as well ... but yes, to my knowledge, Avid is at least straightforward and does its own needle drops, instead of stealing and filtering others' transfers (no idea what's better with regard to sound quality). I've have loved a Verve Giuffre set (just as much a Verve Konitz set), but I guess the Spaniards interfered to a point where it would no longer be profitable.

mine is on its way ... from here: http://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/69936/art-pepper/live-at-fat-tuesday-s where more info can be found as well: A NEWLY DISCOVERED LIVE CLUB DATE AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ANY FORMAT Art Pepper, one of the most prolific and gifted alto saxophonists in jazz, brought his quartet: Milcho Leviev, piano; George Mraz, bass; and Al Foster, drums, to Fat Tuesday’s, the number one jazz club in New York City in the early ‘80s, shortly before his untimely death of a brain hemorrhage in 1982. This recording is an excellent example of late-period Pepper, preserving an incredibly live atmosphere and with a sound balance reproducing all the four players to an acceptable standard. It acts as a solid reminder of the reasons for the altoist’s positive and lasting contribution, which is far and away more significant than the reputation he earned on the wrong side of the law. PERSONNEL: ART PEPPER, alto sax MILCHO LEVIEV, piano GEORGE MRAZ, bass AL FOSTER, drums Recorded live at Fat Tuesday’s in New York on April 15, 1981.

F weird and disappointing - so it's jazz from Sony that was once distributed by Vogue ... gee, they even recycle Bechet on EMI ... PD, that, or has Sony gulped Universal too?

Thanks! A quick glance on the Blakey tracklist seems to confirm it's all there (except that 80s album, as expected).

just finished: Ta-Nehisi Coates - Between the World and Me: most impressive, and rather shocking, though much of it isn't really all that new ... it's been quite a while that a book has so deeply moved me. David H. Rosenthal - Hard Bop: more an extended essay than a proper study, but not bad at all ... I like how he defines hard bop quite widely (incorporating Monk, Mingus, Andrew Hill, and to some extent even Ornette - his influence on "Blue Note avantgarde" etc.) in progress: Tom Perchard - After Django: extremely interesting and enriching indeed! And quite a shock, as it's positively the first book (text in general) on jazz I read that uses such scholarly language - which per se is nothing that would shock me, just never had the connection with jazz so far, was mostly busy reading on other topics in the past two decades, catching up some reading on jazz now ... and please don't take this as a negative critique - not at all, it's actually rather refreshing a read, and the language helps to keep it precise indeed ... and it's thought-provoking, that's for sure! Garth W. Caylor - Nineteen +: very, very good! Not all chapters/interviews/portraits are on the same level, but the best indeed add a lot to the picture! R. J. Smith - The One: The Life and Music of James Brown: started reading this quite a while ago (two years?) but got to pick it up again now ... didn't get too far yet, but found it very, very good.

Ouch! (or wait, maybe like that I can after all still catch Coltrane live?)
