love that cover! r.i.p. Mr. Jeffrey

yay! cover of the year - and some mighty good playing on top of that!

Well, I'm crossing fingers but not holding my breath ... will just keep my CD-R copy of Vol. 2 then. Better than nothing ...

Nice! Some more info here: http://www.fremeaux.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=64&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=1619&option=com_virtuemart

I have a copy on the way (via priceminister.com - european a-sites don't have such good offers and transatlantic shipping costs exploded).

some previous stuff on Perkinson: thought there was more, but this is all that a google search brings up (all, other than some mentions in passing)

Happy Birthday!

Just want to point out a silly claim by Mosaic - "Thanks to Mosaic's ability to bundle collections from numerous labels and archives..." - Universal/MCA/Decca own Commodore. It is one company, one license. the home of Barry Manilow

Wow, intriguing thread that I missed back then (or forgot in the meantime). Just found this (brownie seems to "know his stuff", huh? he sure does!): http://trendy-movie-library.blogspot.ch/2012/04/yusef-lateef-jimmy-knepper-max-roach-pt.html

Yes thanks for sharing your research. Weird that the SHM remasters weren't used for the latest "low-priced" editions. I did a Google Translate search at Universal Japan's site a while ago, and remember reading (re. the Blue Note SHM-CDs) the phrase "final chapter" in regard to this fifth batch. I hope that doesn't mean this series is over! Even if it is, they picked some great titles. (Though Cecil was snubbed.) Hm, so possibly never a Vol. 2 of Hipp @ Hickory House - that would definitely suck!

Damn, lost my post here ... was thinking of other Sanders albums mostly (Live at the East! but there are some more, and I missed that "Love" reissue ... of the Rivers, I've got the LPR reissue). Brown, "Vista", is good news of course! Might also go for the McFarland, have a most battered original of it around, which can, I guess, indeed be considered unplayable. But it's really time for "Streams" to be around - longer than two weeks and for less than 30$, please! And yup, "Club Date" is more from "Live at Pep's" (I think it made up all of Vol. 2 of the old Impulse Master Edition and the bonus tracks of the initial GRP "Live at Pep's" reissue). Probably my favourite 'teef, all things considered - and *great* to hear Richard Williams stretching out! What do experts think, is this again a case (like the recent Trio reissue series, where I missed out, alas!) where one needs to pre-order in order to get anything at all, or will these be around for a few months? EDIT: not quite ... "Live at Pep's" on GRP had side one of "Club Date" in the middle (#4-6): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_Pep%27s side two of "Club Date": http://www.discogs.com/Yusef-Lateef-Club-Date/release/369189 plus more (not sure where this might have been out previously or if at all, not at home right now) was on Vol. 2: http://www.discogs.com/Yusef-Lateef-Live-At-Peps-Volume-Two/release/1594621

Good to see Shepp's "Magic of Ju-Ju" on that list ... other than that mostly same old ... why not do some of zhe rarer Sanders and Rivers for a change?

I feel similar ... and might do the same

Growing up is no longer a requirement - guess fashion-wise one could consider Metheny a trailblazer

I'm very much interested in this, provided sound should be okay - but then I guess either way, it should be an upgrade over the Chrono discs. Some terrific music there, for sure!

Someone grab that Jacquet NOW!

The fact that these are singles is indeed weird. The Willisau ones are listed as two doubles on the website (under upcoming ... the new ones are still there as well, guess there's no one around to keep the website updated constantly). (typo edited)

I cut it open with scissors ... need to get the discs and booklet out some way, after all. Nice set!

No idea how this stuff works ... I've had other see partial tags on my files (and vice versa) when I was sure I'd removed all there was (using a programme called tag&rename, not freeware, I think, got it from a friend many moons ago). Might be more helpful to overwrite all tags with nonsense (and for those who play the files on some MP3 player, use a sensible album title and correct numbering, of course) rather than emptying them (there are various fields in the background like "album artist", in addition to regular "artist", never got all that stuff, but I guess I'm too old to bother )

thanks, will try and get in touch with the seller.

don't know that one, which is it? I've Got the World on a String/Under the Stars 2 cd on Verve. I'd stronly assume this should come with a booklet as all Verve Master Edition reissues do, right? The used copy I bought just arrived, but no booklet, alas ...

To my ears, it sounds pretty good - and the music itself is darn fine, too!

not sure what/who pimdas or pemdas is, but if you just add things chronologically as you read (as jazz musicians do when they improvise a chorus, you might say), it's of course 56
