king ubu

as Lon said, definitely this one: And if you're in for some really nice, very personal, and simple playing, check this one out: It contains the first recordings after Jarrett's recovery from that strange disease he was suffering of. No big improvisations, just Jarrett at the piano playing some nice songs. ubu

I'll get the old one too. The new one has very good sound to my ears, if the old one is significantly worse, I'll keep the new one, if not, I'll downgrade... pretty ironic, isn't it?

Same here. Very sad news. Give my consolations to Elizabeth. ubu

Haven't really listened to it yet, am flooded with new music... I can do without "Genius After Hours" when I get the old version of the "Great Ray Charles", if I understand your discography correct, right? The Genius disc compilated a few left overs from the first Charles/Jackson date and the three Great dates, also correct? Strange! And indeed, if you didn't own and love the albums just as they came out back in the day, for us CD-buying folks, straight LP reissues in these cases are nonsense! ubu

He's getting pretty courageous, isn't he? What disc would you recommend, then? I have thought to check them out for quite some time. ubu

This is really sad news

To be exact, they're called "King Übü Orchestrü" - I still need to check them out, sounds like an interesting band!

Mike, did you check the Rhino disc in that store? Thanks again for posting the discography for these sessions above! I got (not by pure accident, of course) the Charles-Jackson set, and will now have to get the old Great Ray Charles disc, as well (some store here has it cheap). ubu

Happy Birthday!

The Merrill tracks are fantastic! Don't skip them, don't consider them non-essential! (But then I'm biased, as a huge Merrill-fan...) And the jams certainly aren't the kind of music you listen to daily, but hell, Brownie died so young, I find it hard to consider anything he recorded non-essential. ubu

Me, I'm rarely ever in a puzzle/game mood... but then I then the Terrys and Clark(e)s came to mind... and I had to go for it before having read your initial post as thoroughly as I should have -_- .

sorry, tooter, just now really read your first post...

Here's a biography of Satoko Fujii. ubu

Satoko Fujii, japanese pianist, absolutely stunning musician! She's got discs on Leo (OOP all, I think), and Enja, among others

So I did get the Granz Jam Sessions box last night! Wow, what a nice one! Except for the backside being open, it's done really really nice, in my opinion! ubu

not from me, sorry! I saw one of the series at another store than where I got them for a fourth more of the prize I got them for, or even a third more... strange! The prize I got them for is definitely lower than the list prize. ubu

Now starting my special x-mas Mort Subite-drinking... Have a good time, everybody! ubu

Friends, wishing all of you a merry x-mas! ubu

Oh, and as the shipping for the Krupa/James mosaic took so long it only arrived in mid November, I might consider that one sort of an early x-mas gift for myself, too

Lon, same problem here, usually, but this year both my girlfriend (Charles/Jackson) and my sister (Granz box) wanted me to wish something (I'll get more non-music stuff from my girlfriend, for sure, too), thus I'll be having a very very nice x-mas this year!

Well, I asked myself for getting the Free America series, and miraculously got the whole 15 last week Seriously: wishes that will be fulfilled (or at least I still think so at this moment) are the Ray Charles/Milt Jackson 2CD and the Norman Granz Jam Sessions set. Oh, and reading Gary's post -- in november already I felt like wishing an x-mas gift from myself, and in early december, again miraculously I got the Seven Steps Miles box... (though my bank account DOES take notice, it seems ). ubu

Keeping fingers crossed here, too! I wish you a merry x-mas and best of luck for the new year! ubu

Yup, my only chance! But hey, if Prez and Hawk and Trane and Monk and Mingus and Bird and Duke and Satchmo and all are there, jamming with each other, I'll die voluntarily

Dex certainly freely shared credit ... In the hands of Dex this tenor looks like an alto! He was huuuuuuge, and he had that great deep voice to fit. I'd die to get a chance to see him live
