Aren't we a bunch of anal retentives? Thinking about this wierd stuff so hard that we forget about the fantastic Jimmy Smith and Stanley T sets!

Adrian, glad the disc arrived! The follow up to "Sudori" is just out: Haven't heard it, but if it's as good as "Sudori" I'll have to get it, sooner or later. (blurb on the Enja website)

Thanks for sharing, Mike! Enjoyed reading this! (But can't give you any opinion of mine... I'm merely a fan, and I hardly know anything about Golson.)

It seems half of these books fell apart... not mine, but having read about the problem I treated it extremely careful...

Why not put them in an airplane, fly them to Afghanistan, and have some Bushy friends take care of them? They'd plead guilty in no time, and it would at least be an honest fraud...

Anyone here has got this one? Just added it next to the Mutable 3CD solo set on my "stuff I finally ought to listen" shelf:

For those of you inclined... (mike: time to throw in a tape again, for a change?) Here's the blurb from the website: Hey, it's Johnny Coles! I hope to be at home and ready to pop in a minidisc

I wasn't aware James Dean was still with us (go search yourself )

What's this thread about? Blue what? Aaaaah, I see, those guys that try selling us cactuses and want us to believe we bought a compact disc? Fegh em! Sorry for this rant - but I'm still (and will remain) majorly p***ed by EMI Europe's decision to go for the shitty copycrap product. I have totally lost interest in their product, but it seems - even if year by year they sell less of their product (the majors in general, it seems, not only EMI) - they couldn't care less. "Fuego" is great, and the Hancock counts for ten! An awesome disc! I will stick with my late eighties disc and the Hancock BN box, though. No need to let them rip me off, or let them customs rip me off by way of ordering from the US...

Payment sent for the Gator and the Stitt! Thanks Bentsy, for the

Well, a second "run" of releases had the "Doubletime" thing inside of the traycard - much less ugly... these include the McIntyre, the Byrd/Adams, the Grolnick, the Green/Clark... maybe I forget some. There were a bunch of non Doubletime 2CD reissues, too, which include: - KD Bohemia - Woody Shaw (that 2CD set with Geri Allen) - Woody Shaw/Fredie Hubbard - Ben Webster Amsterdam Sessions - Lester Young Aladdin Recordings As far as I think, the Innovations Kenton was not a Doubletime release, rather one for this above list. Again I presumably miss a few that came out in the same timeframe. The only release with the ugly "Doubletime" in front, in addition to the ones in the previous post, was "State of the Tenor", no?

King Ubu, do you have any idea where I can find these "free" CDRs? ← go here. There are two live shows available. One is 3 discs, one is 2. Both feature ROVA, among the many musicians. ← Geoff, nice to see you again here! John has provided the pointers, I'll have to get the 2CD set, myself, too! Interesting to see that Zakir Hussain is on that set!

Let's have little place on our forum for discussion of Leo Smith's music. I know quite a few here like his electric Miles tributes, and I am aware that these, as well as the Kabell Box (here) have been discussed on the board. I am quite a fan of Smith's, going from the relatively few discs I have (Kabell Years, Golden Quartet, Year of the Elephant, and a Neue Musik like Tzadik disc, the title of which escapes me at the moment). Also there is at least one set (3 CDRs) of his Miles tribute that is (was?) available online, for free. Now the reason why I start this discussion today (instead of when I would have been able to spin the discs again and do a little reading first), is because of this: http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/france-m...ion.php?e_id=37 This link leads you to the page of the radio show "Le jazz probablement" on the France Musiques website. By clicking the blinking thing between "l'émission du 12 juin" and"ecouter", you can - in shitty ram-format, but still - catch 40 minutes of the latest (?) version of Leo Smith's "Golden Quartet", that is: Leo Smith - trumpet Vijay Iyers - keyboards John Lindberg - bass Ronald Shannon Jackson - drums The set was recorded at the 2005 edition of the Banlieues Bleues festival in Aubervilliers, France, on March 31, 2005. Here's a direct link, but I cannot check it out from work, no Real Player installed here...) I heard parts of this on the air last night, and there's some fine playing to be witnessed! Here's the blurb from the Banlieues Bleues website: (source: http://www.banlieuesbleues.org/fiche/C05014_D.HTM)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Alright, I have my disc in front of me, now (the Iturralde/Hawes, taht is), and it remains misterious: the Blue Note logo, as you can see on the jpg above, is clearly there, on the spine it says BN, too, the CD has the usual BN design (black/silver, in this case)... but: nowhere is any connection to Blue Note or EMI noted. Here's the info from the CD (same in booklet, on traycard, and on CD itself): No idea if Hispavox is part of EMI or what's the deal here. Very same blurb on the Blue Note edition of "Jazz Flamenco Vols. 1 & 2" (what a marvellous disc that on!), btw. ubu

Thanks ← Jason, drop me a PM if you need help with the other cuts...

Larry Bunker: drums, vibes, accordion, percussion

This one may have been forgotten so far since everybody replaced it with the RVG (that had the other colour scheme used as front cover): (Btw: am I the only one with non-functioning buttons??? No links, images, bold type etc. works, can only do it by entering the codes by hand!)

This one? If so, could you put that and the Gator "Bar Wars" aside? I'll drop you an email tomorrow!

I have heard a live programme of this group - fine stuff! In the hard-blowing and driving style of the "Full Metal" band, only, of course, with different musicians. And let me add: Marguet is a great drummer!

Can't tell you for sure, up for couw!!! (I included the Favre cut on my BFT, btw!) EDIT: here's the tracklist from the Intakt site: CD 1 01 Eddie Brunner and His Original Teddies 02 Elsie und Siro Bianchi-Brunner 03 Hans Kennel Quintet 04 Dollar Brand. African Piano 05 Alex Rohr Quartet 06 Charly Antolini 07 Jazz Rock Experience J.R.E. 08 Metronome Quintet 09 Benny Bailey und Jazz Live Trio 10 DRS-Big Band 11 Remo Rau Memorial Quintet 12 Buddhas Gamblers 13 Robi Weber Quartet (Total Time 75¹17) CD 2 01 Irène Schweizer-Louis Moholo 02 Pierre Favre 03 Harald Haerter 04 Karl ein Karl 05 Nathanael Su - Fredi Lüscher 06 Lucas Niggli Zoom Ensemble 07 Saadet Türköz 08 Chris Wiesendanger Quartet 09 Christoph Gallio 10 Urs Voerkel 11 Noisy Minority 12 Priska Walss - Gabriela Friedli 13 Marianne Racine Quartet 14 Markus Eichenberger - Ivano Torre 15 Peggy Chew - Adrian Frey 16 Co Streiff Sextet 17 Stephan Wittwer 18 Luigi Archetti - Jan Schlegel 19 Nik Bärtsch¹s Mobile Aer (Total Time 77¹25) ********** no Schweizer there, just Schweizer/Moholo - so the question is if the Favre and Rohr cuts are the same as on the Jazz in Switzerland box - my guess is yes, but I can't tell for sure, but Mr. couw may help you!

Hey, David, drop a hint on #5! No one has gotten close to identifying that one so far!

These are two Lacys to add to my list, it seems! I have Watson's "Full Metal Quartet" (on Owl, too), with Bennie Wallace, and I love that one! ← And Ed Thigpen, isn't it? I have that one too ... ← YEAH to Thigpen! He's the best! Seriously: I was astonished to find him in this company - at the time I picked that CD up I only knew Thigpen from OP and a late Teddy Wilson date... would have never imagined him to do this kind of stuff! But he definitely is a terrific drummer, capable of fitting in with almost any situation.
