FWIW my bonus disk (disk 11) was regular size. Mine, too. Deus - get it! At that price you can still add one or the other VME disc, if you feel the need. I got mine for about twice the amount you could get it, I did not get any VMEs, sound never bothered me, actually. And this one is worth every cent! ubu

"Groovin With Jug" shipped yesterday! (from amazon.com) thanks for the rec! I'm sure I'll enjoy that one just as much as "After Hours". ubu

me too I only have the second of them, and being a fan of this man and having some 6 or 7 of his CDs, I have to admit this one if very good! They should see CD reissue! A double time would be nice, like the Don Grolnick one. Hope we don't have to wait till he dies... ubu

Hey, I just saw that post! Will keep an eye open for it, sounds interesting! ubu

So there still is a Mitchell for more than every second of the 570 members posting here... Be sure to let an Atlantic New Orleans over for me. Gotta wait till end of january to be able to get that... ubu

yeah, that AND leading the top ten posters list oof yet ANOTHER day. don't drink too much coffee during WORK Ubu You know John I said to myself when I got up friday morning: Now we gonna catch that couw! No, seriously: my notebook is still all shit (it's at IBM's for a week now, and was down since x-mas) - and I had little time to be on this board over x-mas, as well as days without any internet-access, and then I did finish that darn paper for university (last thursday, finally), and I got some more time again now! (And I'm gonna catch you ) And sitting here in the office doing some dumb work to earn a student's life... you gotta have SOME fun, no? And I got a day older, incidentally, too, by the way... ubu

Uh, let me abuse this thread to make good for all whom I missed to congratulate in time! It be done herewith! Wish you a good day, Jim! You'll sure have a better one than me, sitting in the office for almos 8 hours now... ubu

Mark, that Thad Jones is a marvellous album! Hope you like it! ubu

That's one of the things I dislike about ebay - or rather: about some of the sellers there. ubu

Can I have been hacked even though my Antivirus

Berigan, to answer the question you ask in the title of this thread: yes, easily so! My notebook (which is just now receiving a new systemboard, SHIT!) is only protected by Norton, too, but I was lucky. Less so my parents: their desktop went down completely, they had some thirty viruses, some ten or twelve trojan horses, and Norton did not even take notice... If you install yourself a real tough firewall, though, you might be unable to even open an attached word-file... ubu -
I don't remember the later albums included, but if you got the quintet dates with Cook only, there's another highly enjoyable thing there: the first album, with Joe Henderson, Leo Wright, Duke Pearson... consider that one, too! And you get the nice booklet and box and all... ubu (lucky owner of said set)

Gotta get it as soon as I can afford! ubu

I think one of the three of them on ebay is just a one disc best off comp (Universal does this with each and every box set they release, it seems) The box looks very VERY interesting, though. Lon, I suppose you got it. Care to comment? Mention some highlights etc? ubu

Me being an absolute computer dummy... but when I changed from Outlook Express to Outlook, I DID manage to take all mails and contacts with me via the export/import function. You save all your stuff, got a file somewhere with it, and then import it again. I guess this should work as well when you deinstall Outlook and reinstall it again. But, as I said, I'm no accomplished computer specialist at all. ubu -
Wow! I only now saw these pics, very cool! I love Golson! Thanks for posting them. ubu

I'm using one of these: B&O U70. Any opinions? I don't listen with headphones all that often. Got these from my parents, who don't use them anymore. ubu

I prefer the Cannonball approach: Barfoot Sunday Blues... (although it's Keepnew's title...) ubu
-
Yeah! Let's hope they come around to reissue ALL of these concerts in best possible sound! I bet most of them were actually recorded by some radio stations, no? What's the source of those bootlegs? Radio? Claude, while it was me who alerted to the recent broadcast - I missed the beginning of it! SHIT! (And I really hate half-complete things...) ubu

Good question. RVGs have tended to bring back original album contents (which the previous versions of these two albums had abandonded). The very first RVGs imitated the JRVGs in adding no (or few) extra tracks. That policy has since slipped, indeed it has gone the other way. The old logic was that the US market required the extra tracks while the Japanese market preferred pure originals. That now seems to be not the case. Seems you are right about that. Still I want ONE CD having the COMPLETE Back at the Chicken Shack/Midnight... session, even the Bonus Track could fit on that ONE CD... Yet if they are doing "historical" reissues of just the album, they could give us some historical reissues of those japanese albums, too, no? So bring it on! I got "Standards" rather recently, and LOVE it! Very mellow stuff, very laid back, sometimes it goes back to pre-Smith-organ sounds, at least in general mood. ubu

Thanks, brownie! Tell me, did you pick up the recent reissue of The Great Concert? I still got to! ubu
-
Wow! They are cool! Really like them! And you did one for me, too! Like it! ubu
-
brownie, I was at some store yesterday and they had the two LP Stuttgart set. They also have Lord, and he says most of the tunes on the Unique LPs were edited. You know if that's accurate? Then they had some other Mingus boots (off topic): that Mingus/Cat Anderson LP and the Ozone LP billed Mingus/Cecil Taylor (they do not play together). Anyone knows if they are worthwhile? Tanks! ubu
-
Thanks, Z-Man! How about an RVG of the rest of the material? Would be a great companion to "House Party" and "The Sermon" - why did they not include all the music on these two, anyway?!? ubu

Well, I like the Penguin Guide, & it's fairly reliable, but Cook & Morton also unaccountably give high rankings to Metheny/Bailey's Sign of 4, DD Jackson's Sigame & assorted other albums I found unlistenable, so..... Oh, I'm glad you find "Sigame" rather unlistenable, too! I already thought I got to get a new pair of ears... I'm otherwise very fond of the Penguin. More so than of AMG. ubu

The Oslo I have is on JazzUp JU-307: 1. Fables of Faubus 22:06 2. Orange Was the Colour of her Dress 15:11 3. Ow! 2:29 4. Take the "A" Train (incomplete) 9:42 Is there more around? Just checked with that link I provided below. Any idea how I could get this stuff? Hell, Mr Sangry has suggested this before, but I got to repeat it: Mosaic (or whoever) should do a complete April 1964 Mingus box!! And Lon, when you speak of the Netherlands dates, you mean those three LPs made in Amsterdam? Love'em! As far as I know they were on 2 CDs, too? Were do you find that sort of stuff? I always pick these up when I see some, but that happens only like every two or three years once. ubu
