Jimmy Lyons, too ... but yes, Lacy, Braxton, McPhee, Mitchell, Bluiett - great stuff! Saw Lacy and Mitchell live, playing solo. Two of my fondest concert memories for sure!

Now THAT is cool! Missed picking up any of 'em when they popped up, but heard several radio broadcasts and alyways enjoyed that band!

seems the Evans Fantasy is making a return: http://www.amazon.it/Complete-Fantasy-Recor-Evans-Bill/dp/B00UOFXTTK/ as is the Monk Riverside: http://www.amazon.it/Complete-Riverside-Rec-Thelonious-Monk/dp/B00UW4GAWG/

Well, that was a couple of months ago ... which makes it even weirder. The LP doesn't exactly have lots of info either.

Just received a reasonably priced Verve "I've Got the World on a String/Under the Stars" 2 cd set from ebay (12 GBP, open but as new). Stangely there is some sequential issue of the booklet pages. While there is not a missing page at all, the Disc Two contents are listed as first page after the outer sleeve with the original LP front and rear sleeve reproduction, while the Disc One contents are at the end of the booklet after the credits and before/opposite a Satchmo velvet photo and the rear sleeve of the "Under the stars" LP. Is it the same with any of yours? BTW, Satchmo shines. Fantastic, and thanks for bringing this release up. Alex Jim's thread caused me to order a used copy and it arrived without a booklet. I ordered another cheap one in hopes of at least getting a readable booklet. Ha ha, exactly the same here. Second copy came with booklet, but with the same wrong page sequence. Actually, I kept the discs of the first set, as the second ones were somewhat scratched (and the first had a somewhat beat up digipack).

Well, who knows. I'd have liked to buy the CD, but the label had it as sold out ... see above. Something weird there. But fine album!

Oh, I see ... another one for the shopping list

That's the one we were talking about! Seems not to be the next volume really - or maybe it is, not sure ... but good, it is! http://www.strut-records.com/spiritofmalombo/

Huh? I've had "In the Beginning" for several weeks now! (Bought at jazzmessenger.com) Only gave it one spin so far and haven't read the booklet, but it's the usual quality job and of course it's pretty great to have more music by young Wes, albeit I'm not that big on the bros.

good luck, Allen! (will you cross dress for #4? )

Quite excellent indeed!

Really? Guess you get one of these for free with each order:

Aristide Massaccesi Will Keith Kellogg Little Richard

Agree, that's what "Reissues" is for. What he said. You can't post something like that without a link! German only - a fine place though, which I keep forgetting to visit more frequently: http://alte-musik-forum.de/

Lots of venom here ... okay, I sure don't enjoy the fact that the Bird and Billie boxes need so much shelf space. And the even does so without giving us a thick booklet. The Billie booklet however, is quite nice, I find ... and sonically, I guess I'm impaired or whatever, I find no issue with the box. As a short, belated aside to the above discussion of studio banter: did it ever occur that not all of us were there? And that some of us might indeed be thrilled (or just: interested) to get a glimpse of that studio atmosphere and the banter and all of that?

Nothing weird (or to be afraid of) about that ... just the regular cheaper second edition that has come to be the norm in so many cases. Good for those who want the music, but don't really need the (splendid!) presentation and memorabilia and stuff that was part of the large box. Tanglewood is fine, and the 1969 Bootleg volume is somewhat weird, provided the fall tour is largely absend AND represented by a set without fender rhodes, so that Copenhagen set IS a most welcome addition. But yeah, I'd love to know if and what with the Bootleg series continues - I'd hope for 1971 and 1973 European concerts (but for a set with material from the summer tour of 1964 would be cool, too - not sure if copyright issues rule that out though ... does the 50 year rule apply only up to 1963 recordings, or is that whole thing still not entirely through and 1964 is PD now?)

Lady Birthday - in chronological order as MP3 whilst at work ... don't like the way they grouped the music on the box, would have preferred the alternates at the end of each session, if not grouping it all in chronological order.

here's another version in one (but same duration, so slow as well, I guess): and a comment from the uploader:

So far we have: Lou Donaldson - Here 'Tis The Three Sounds - Hey There Joe Henderson - Mode For Joe Any other titles with unreleased tracks discovered now that the March 2015 batch has been released? Oh, I guess I'll need to buy "Here 'Tis" again then ... any new Baby Face is great news!

all the way through - -wonderful set! :tup

Not on my copy. Sorry, had seen your post in the office but forgot upon coming home that day ... here's a pic taken from my disc - back of the one-page/two-fold booklet. Inside has the same big city silhouette plus small pics of Lateef, Knepper, Flanagan, Williams, Phipps and Roach (at least so they say - wouldn't be able to tell if the Phipps was correct, and the Williams at that). Traycard offers more or less the same as the above, but a few production details and the short blurb are missing, and there is some additional info (in addition to the line-up and the line about the strings players): Apologies for the lousy shot!

Trying to figure out the Pres material ... Vol. 16 #1-7 "Just You, Just Me": March 19, 1949 - Lester Young Band - Royal Roost, New York City Jesse Drakes t; Jerry Elliott tb; Lester Young ts; Junior Mance p; Ted Briscoe b; Roy Haynes d Bebop Boogie (Young) These Foolish Things (Morrell-Strachey-Link) D. B. Blues (Young) Just You, Just Me (Greer-Klages) December 4, 1948 - Lester Young Band - Royal Roost, New York City Jesse Drakes t; Ted Kelly tb; Lester Young ts; Freddie Jefferson p; Ted Briscoe b; Roy Haynes d [be Bop Boogie (Young) - missing] [i’m Confessin’ (Neiburg-Daugherty-Reynolds) - missing] I Cover The Waterfront (Green-Heyman) How High The Moon (Morgan Lewis) Sunday (Coots-Grey) #8 - 12 "Pres Is Blue" February 22, 1950 - Lester Young Quintet - Savoy Ballroom, New York City Jesse Drakes t; Lester Young ts; Kenny Drew p; Leroy Jackson or Aaron Bell b; Jo Jones d Mean To Me (Turk Ahlert) On The Sunny Side Of The Street (Fields-McHugh) Pennie from Heaven (Burke-Johnson) Stardust (H. Carmichael) Three Little Words (Kalmar-Ruby) (Note: way too many other tunes recorded at this date/these dates to list them all here) Vol. 15 (#1-10 are Dial sides by Charlie Parker released as "Many Miles of Davis") #11-16 - "Pres" all from the same Savoy Ballroom date(s) - except: not sure about "Blues", the first track. There's no matching entry for a blues (or for "D.B. Blues") in the listings I'm aware of ... the performance is truncated at the beginning ... the tenor solo is great, the audience seems to be cheering the band on (or maybe it's the others on the bandstand?), there's a pretty neat, somewhat boppish trumpet solo following (Drakes, I'd guess), and then as soon as they start riffing (what's the tune anyway, doesn't sound like "D.B. Blues"!) the track starts fading out. Vol. 30 Charlie Parker - Lester Young "An Historical Meeting at the Summit" This one has me somewhat puzzled ... line-up matches the date/location provided: Carnegie Hall, NYC, September 18, 1949. This was the date where "The Opener", "Lester Leaps In", "Embraceable You" and "The Closer" were recorded - but the tracks included here are completely different (granted, there's a take of "Lester Leaps In", even two, but hey ...) - as mjzee has suggested this might be some material taken from other CPR albums. Fits with regards to the Pres material for sure (and the mysterious "Blues" is there again as well).

Happy Birthday, Allen!

Joyeux anniversaire, Claude!

Thanks a lot, l p, for all those details! So I need to buy another disc, it seems ... (and need to get started on the Jazz Icons DVD's finally - I've seen one or two from the library, but not the Coltrane).
