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

Ha ha ha, I know ... but I'm restraining myself and mostly just buy those with new bonus tracks. I would pre-order the Tyrone Washington though ... and Hipp at Hickory House Vol. 2 as well And thanks for the reminder, Lon! I saw that list actually, but I'm not (yet) investing enough time to keep an overview (and there are so many other Japaneses reissues that look enticing, from the Sony and Warner series etc.)

Very good! ... but no news what's in the batch, I assume?

Is the SHM-CD series still going on? I'm still not too good in following Japanese reissues - when did the most recent batch arrive? They answered within a few hours and did delete the 2007 edition of Vol. 1 (I had added the SHM edition previously). Very good service indeed!

All the best, Paul!

Looks like the CD option has been reinstated on the website. Kind of a nuisance as getting the LP cost me around 60$ ... and they wouldn't even take it out of the cover - a small tear in the sleeve and a bruised corner for 60$ - definitely not nice. I'd have bought the CD but was assuming I'd missed out on it (the option was gone from the available offers several weeks back already).

Would love to hear that disc 10! - but preferrably not as MP3 (I don't do iTunes anyways, don't even have it installed any longer). The 2CD set with the Garcia-arranged album seems to be on its way, a "used - very good" copy from a vendor on amazon marketplace. Crossing fingers that it will look more or less okay!

Okay, indeed I got a cancellation now for the 2007 reissue of Hipps Hickory House Vol. 2 - but I still can't edit that order myself - wrote them an email now.

They all (de, fr, it, es, co.uk) seem to ship from the same warehouses much of the time (even though prices are different, depending on which site you order from). So you might order from France but the shipment comes from Germany.

Exactly - the other two I've had for a while (and the Ella in Japan, too ... Roy Eldridge there, so off topic here, but still recommended!)

Thanks, that sounds good enough for me! Still need that Hip-O-Select double as well ... tended to ignore late Louis way too long!

Me too, it seems ... the title rings a bell, but I never really looked at it. Guess it's worthwhile?

Yup, that's my understanding now! Learning as I go on ... I'm still a relative newbie to these things Japanese, and the first half dozen or so orders went through without any delays or cancellations (before that, I mostly ordered Japanese reissues from dustygroove.com or from a - most reliable - vendor on a marketplace, the later I still do occasionally, on items already gone on cdjapan or when I just want to get a single disc).

Okay, thanks - so I guess if "processing" is over with, either they'll get the items or will cancel them (which has happened with those two items from November, but it took months for that to happen).

I don't actually want to cancel, but I'd like to actually understand all this (i.e. what does "processing" combined with the fact that I can't cancel mean? in this case on an item that has a long delivery time given - something like 2-4 weeks - but is displayed as "processing" after merely a few days)

Yup, I found it strange as well - just crossing my fingers that they will deliver, since I really want actual CDs of these finally, and just as really don't care much about which version I get. I ignored some of those mails initially, assuming they'd come through eventually, but then got a cancellation (of two items releases in mid November, ordered in December - and I was already too late, how ridiculous is that?), so I re-combined the Patton with other items, only to get another round of delay notification mails on these items, so I kept re-combining ... now it's the two Columbia Earl Hines ones that hold the Patton back from being shipped, but I'd really love to have those, so I let that order run. I cannot cancel those either anyway, status is "processed", so I guess they're just slow in actually sending them out. Gee, one does need at least a bachelor's degree to understand cdjapan, doesn't one?

sale is ending March 15, I think ... ordered a dozen or so, these, I think: Estilhaços - Steve Lacy Quintet Life Between - Angelica Sanchez Seeing you See - Keefe Jackson Quartet Kullhammar / Aalberg / Zetterberg - Basement Sessions Vol.1 Union - Paradoxical Frog Aurora - Sara Serpa / Ran Blake Parallax - Eric Revis 11:11 "There Was..." - Aram Shelton's Arrive Live in LA - Bobby Bradford/Mark Dresser/Glenn Ferris Frog Leg Logic - Marty Ehrlich's Rites Quartet Wiry Strong - Ralph Alessi and This Against That Free Advice - MI3 Pillow Circles - Jorrit Dijkstra Grünen - Kaufmann/Landfermann/Lillinger Minaret Minuets - Scott Fields/Matthias Schubert only received them last week, haven't come around to listening to most, as I mentioned elsewhere, I'm unsure about Serpa (love Blake though), but easily recommend the Bradford/Dresser/Ferris!

checked my cdjapan account over the weekend, and that order is partly "locked" - I can't cancel either of the 2007 "Hickory House" discs any more - so I assume they did get them (but are holding them for one other item that's part of the order is not around yet, might in fact never come around) - as I'm no audiophile, I'm fine with the 2007 editions, if they come through, who knows ... I'm having four or five open orders right now, re-grouped them several times after getting delivery estimate updates etc - it's all a bit complicated it seems (some of those Sony reissues are keeping orders back, too ... still waiting for the Blue John Patton with all the bonus tracks, ordered two or three months ago, it really borders on the ridiculous)

don't know that one, which is it? as for alternates, a pair (of the same tune) are on the "Verve Elite Edition Collector's Disc" - and I think the bonustracks on the "Louis & OP" album were all taken from the Ella sessions, but I may be wrong (can't double check right now)

Oh no, very sad. Love his Reel Recordings releases, and it was always a pleasure dealing with him, including some chat about music. r.i.p. Mike King. Thank you for all the fine music.

Happy Birthday!

They should rather reissue the Tyrone Washington album ... and maybe bring the Jutta Hipp ones back into real circulation, too. There are some others, I guess ... And yes, it's my understanding that Warner got the classical music, Universal kept the jazz.

Anyone knows if Jutta Hipp at the Hickory House Vol. 2 will follow as well? Seems the 2007 reissues are on the way out (at least Vol. 2) and I guess I'd rather go for the SHM-CDs anyways, but I want them both!
