Ubu, join the queue... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...l=jazz+in+paris The Django 102 was part of that 'From Belgium With Love' box that had already issued CDs from the series by Thielemans, Jaspar, Thomas... It's available now as a single CD! Now you have me confused... I will post in the other thread. ubu

Hey Vint, enjoyed reading your post! Funny that Chapin comes up again! I've just started finally listening to his box set ("Alive") a bit and enjoyed what I heard so far very much. But then, this is not Chapin... Not Frisell, either, btw, and not Baron Some musicians have been identified, some tracks, too, there's a short resume further above. Oh, and ubu is far too young to have any 78s...

I've never heard more than the stray track of Thielemans', so this might be a nice and cheap way to something in that respect... I guess I'll end up getting them all, anyway. What about the Peterson discs? Anyone here has them? And the blues/trad ones: Memphis Slim/Willie Dixon, Bright/Simmons, Classic Jazz, Price/Cheatham, Bechet/Luter, Holland/Clayton/Singleton?

And that Django, what's its title? I wasn't aware the series continues! I only saw the deluxe boxes (which cost the prize of ten single JiP discs here...), but nothing else that was new, since the Distel came out.

Thanks Guy! As you know me, I'll probably want to have "Jazz sous l'occupation", too, in the end... I'm aware of the two Bey tracks, and it's them that made me pick the disc out of the shelf several times, already. The Fol seems to have some good Griffin, so I'll want it anyway. I'll give the clarinets and Bacsik a chance, too. How about the Dearie? The Goraguer? The Bolling? You certainly have those, don't you?

Oh, I can't argue against that Is that were the expression "cut-out" comes from? How about the Randy Weston I mentioned above - was it ever on CD? (Maybe in Japan?)

Don Redman orchestra? or maybe Horace Henderson? Nope, the tenor has been nailed (read above) and the band is too bad to bother with all that much... I think both Henderson and Redman would have done a better job (and maybe convinced the taper to let it roll after the tenor had his say...)

Yes, the discography parts are the best, and often the comments are quite on the mark. I had the Monk, Mingus, Miles and Trane books back when I got into jazz, and I always enjoyed the commented discographies.

Ubu, small typo. Just fixed that. Typos like that happen when you're dealing with BFTs that include around 20 tracks! Still hope when the truth is revealed that I was not dissing old favorites when I wrote about that track 9, the Coleman blues treatment! I would be astonished if these guys are old favourites of yours, brownie! I guess not. Typos happen, of course, I was only wondering if something interesting got lost there. hardbopjazz: not Henderson, but somewhat close... ubu

I didn't say utter crap. I said toilet reading. THAT is a big difference. At least to me. I know, I know... but paired with the couw-man's reponse it made the books look like utter crap. Not a biggie - the Braxton, however, looks like some thorough analysis is going on.

Also I've read pretty bad things about french jazz "sous l'occupation" (same as in Switzerland: they didn't mean any harm, but they were total amateurs, lacking any deeper understanding, and probably more important: lacking the ability to swing...)

Alright, above are the ones I'm still missing. I won't get the Roach (as I will have to get that Mosaic), the Young (as I have it as part of the Verve box) and the Ascenseur (as it missed the bonus tracks - I will have to replace my late eighties copy, though, with the new one). I don't know Bacsik at all, don't know if I need more than the one Crolla I have (the one dedicated to Django), and I'm also hesitant on the two Armstrongs, the two Petersons with Grappelli, and several of the old-school ones. Then, the chanteuses disc I never saw. Oh, and before I forget: main reason I'm picking these up again is because there's a nice sale going on in Zurich (the prize, though, is about as good as it would be from French Amazon including postage cost, so not such a great sale, but still I prefer picking them up in a store when I have the possibility and don't loose more money on it that I would, ordering on the net). What do you think? EKE, step in and tell me all those old-school ones are great... (hey, I do have the Willie "Lion" Smith, at least). ubu

Got two batches of these, coming 13 closer to 101 The only ones I have in full listened to, so far are the Gus Viseur and Gérard Badini (indeed mighty fine Sam Woodyard there - mikeweil: you're reading this? Get it!). The Urtreger plays Powell served as background music last weekend, so I didn't get to really listen yet. the others I picked: - Jazz et cinéma vol. 4 - Modern Jazz à Saint-Germain-des-Prés - Danse à Saint-Germain-des-Prés - both Peiffers - Michel Legrand: Paris Jazz Piano - Grappelli: Django - Porgy & Bess (strange but good) - Rhoda Scott: at the olympia - Jack Dieval: Jazz aux Champs-Elysées So I'm needing some advice on the ones I haven't gotten yet... next post for that. ubu

Don't know in which thread to post... in the other one someone said the zweit fellows had the box for 20 Euros, here it says 30. Whatever, they still have it for 30 and I just got it (together with three of those Oreos books - DizzySpells, if you're reading: the Braxton looks very good, no utter crap there, not coming from Peter Niklas Wilson! - and several 4 Euro OJCCDs).

Not knowing how the original releases looked, I assume the CD slipcases represent the original front covers, yes? But the back is not what they looked like on the backside, originally? ubu

Finally had a first listen to my first Erst, "Time Travel". Like this a lot! Look forward to hearing "What A Wonderful World" soon. Of course I will have to listen to "Time Travel" again and again, as this kind of music I always have to grow to, and explore more and more...

I saw Stenson live once, in trio (Jormin-Hart, I think, but I'm not sure anymore). Great concert! As for recordings, I'm not much further than I was when we discussed the AotW linked above, meaning I still don't have any of his more recent ECMs. ubu

Ordered that one... can't tell you right now, either, for the same reason. ubu

brownie, I guess my partial quote above didn't help, sorry! I just wanted to ask if something got lost here:

This one? Plaisir D´Amour I'm sorry, I can't tell, as long as I can't find out who's playing on #5 of that CD! Google didn't help me any further. What I can tell you is that even if it IS the same "WITTCL", I didn't take it from there.

Hm, strange. Here's what I have: 1. A Train 2./3. unknown (too lazy to find out what these are) 4. St Louis Blues (Greenwood) 5. Bill Bailey (Greenwood) 6. Walkin' (or I'm Walkin') (Greenwood) 7. Medley: Do Nothin > Don't Get Around > Sentimental Mood > Beginning to see > Soph.Lady > Caravan > Solitude > Satin Doll > Squeeze Me > It Don't Mean a Thing > I Let a Song > Don't Get Around 8. Basin Street Blues 9. Happy Reunion 10. Diminuendo & Crescendo in Blue (inc) Pretty different. Could some of this come from February 19, 1962? From there I have 11. The Eighth Veil 12. Kinda Dukish/Rockin' in Rhythm At least that's what the announcer in 1999 said...

I'll have to check, I don?have all of it, but certainly more than the video.

October 9, 1959 Kongresshauss, Zurich (Switzerland) Clark Terry, Ray Nance, Quentin Jackson, Russell Procope, Duke Ellington, Jimmy Woode, James Johnson Of course, Ray Nance on vocals (shame on me!!!) Cheers, Agustín What's your source, Agu? Lord? It's correct, anyway! I am a very well informed guy! Is your source a video tape? No. The video was recently seeded over on easytree.org, but I didn't get it (it was labelled Germany, and maybe with a wrong year, too, and no personnel info etc). My source is a 1999 re-broadcast by swiss radio. I have more music than the video includes (assuming that thing on EZtree which was 40 or 45 minutes long is all there is on video). on Lewis, btw!
