Agustin, I just wrote some crappy review of the Taylor/Redman/Jones. The Jones and Taylor solos are GREAT, their duo is almost great, the trios and the duo of Redman/Jones are good. All in all a pleasant disc, and a rather positive surprise for me! Go one or two pages up and you'll find some discussion. The Ornette BNs are both in ma shelf, but haven't been listened to as often as they deserve. There's some nice quote by Dewey, by the way, in the "Momentum Space" liners, about him being on those BN sessions with the saint Coltrane's rhythm men... ubu

No love here for a Jimmy Lunceford set? ubu

David, I don't know in what form and with how good sound these albums will be reissued, but you should absolutely have the first two, I mean, "This Is Our Music" is good, but the first two albums are FRIGGIN' GREAT! Really! "Ornette on Tenor" is rather cool, too, and then you need the two compilation albums, as well. I had "Free Jazz" on an old Atlantic CD before I got the box (same with the first two quartet albums), but then I have never had audophile ears... ubu

And how about reissuing the rest of the Kenton Presents dates? The Salvador, the Claude Williamson - are there more? Best would be to have a complete Kenton Presents Select, that would inlcude parts of the existing KP set, as well as the Chaloff, as well as the two I mentioned, as well as others, if there are. They will never do this, I'm afraid, as too much has been part of any of their boxes already. Wonder why they wouldn't make the Kenton Presents set a bit bigger and include the rest, too... ubu

HELLYEAH! That would be sort of a dream come true, I guess... Then, the Farlow has lots of Costa included, too, which is not a bad thing. ubu

Hey but take it easy! This BFT thing is getting a bit too fast for me at the moment! (PM will be sent, btw!) ubu

Then we might add the question what film we would want to be screened, of course without tone, as our listening pleasure - our very last one - might be spoiled otherwise... I guess I would have the ball-scene of "Il Gattopardo", or the night-after of "L'avventura", or maybe the ending of "8 1/2", or a loop mixing all of these..., together with the game Mastroianni plays on that chess-floor in "La notte", and the "Have you ever been stung by a dead bee" think from "To Have And Have Not", as well as Lauren (with sound, this time), singin that corny old song in the casino in "The Big Sleep"... (that song's on the Kenton Forties Mosaic, by the way...) ubu

How about "Blue Lester"? Or the Jones-Smith Inc. sides... Good stuff to die to ubu

Holding my belly, laughing so hard... you fool you! ubu

Right here:

No Morgan here for quite some time, but I shall try and spin some of those I don't know well enough yet (Caramba, Charisma, Last Session, that Conn...) And of course I'm eagerly awaiting the VeeJay box... ubu

And I NEVER sneak! That spoils all the fun! And of course I meant Herb Pomeroy - sorry for my crappy spelling above! ubu

Agus, I did not yet even find the time to listen to your CDs, only started with the first one so far (had to do a radio programme on sunday and was preparing for that, listening some Cecil Taylor, and nothing else...). However, I will nail that, for sure Love the album! And thanks to you, as I had it on my list, but only after reading your post above, finally bought it! ubu

And looking at your "Twins" cover, it seems it's one of the German ones. The others (the new jewel case ones) don't have that thing on the left saying "Atlantic Masters"). http://www.warnerclassics.de/index.jsp ubu

Now don't tell me you DON'T own the fantastic Rhino box collecting all of Ornette's stuff! Absolutely fantastic, bluesy, essential and stunningly beautiful music! This music is so easy to "get" on an emotional level that you really wonder where all the animosities against Ornette came from, back in the day. The "Twins", as well as the other two albums that came out later (after Ornette's actual time with Atlantic was through), are, of course put into chronological order in the box, and thus I don't really know them as "albums". The music, though, is uniformely great. "Ornette", btw, is certainly in a jewel case and newly remastered. I have seen it in stores. Where are those Atlantic reissues from? US? Europe? Those swiss ones were horrible! (I have a few, as the music is great, nevertheless...) But then let me add that the German "Original Warner Masters" are not any tiny bit better (still you NEED to get Kirk's "The inflated tear", even if you don't like him ) ubu

I'm surprised that this session didn't get more love in this thread. it has it's own thread... (and deserves the love) yup yup yup! one of the best albums with Dolphy involved. To stress Agustín's love for John Lewis' "The Wonderful World of Jazz", let me mention it again. Some beautiful playing by others, such as Paul Gonsalves, Herb Pomery and Jim Hall. ubu

And there is of course the 2CD release on Verve or some european Universal or wherever, Vivendi... including Cherry's two Sonet albums. Beautiful stuff! I don't have lots of his music (yet), but "Brown Rice" is a very good one! ubu

And what about "Last Exit"? The title at least would be fitting the occasion...

Quite a cool combination! Why not ask some DJ-friend to do some "interpolations"? ubu

Love Supreme - my very first thought while reading the title of the thread. ubu

How about Coleman Hawkins? I wouldn't know what exactly, but he'd certainly deserve a box! I have the 4CD Mercury set, and that's a fantastic one! Maybe some "companion" set to that could be done? A set of his early years, collecting his leader dates for all the labels he recorded for? ubu

Now that's an easy one! Martian, of course! ubu

Then how about a decent and complete collection of the early Decca sides by Lunceford? And how about a complete reissue of the Columbia sides (I have the 4LP set, but that's quite old and not in the best shape)? And yeah, I want that damned booklet, too! ubu

I'd like to get some Basie, in the best case they would be: - Complete Vocalion/Columbia 1938-1952 Recordings - Complete Verve 1952-1966 (?) Recordings - Complete "Blazing Saddle" Years ( ) And how about a nice Mosaic set of the Decca and RCA sides? New Addey-remasterings, and, HELLYEAH - I WANT THE DAMNED BOOKLET! ubu
