Well, it's definitively not from the 50s or 60s, but it COULD be (and ubu LOVE it!): The Mosaic is a great one, too! And musically, there is not that huge a difference. While I'm not very strong on the question asked here, some favorites have been mentioned already: - the Buck Clayton Jam sessions (gotta Mosaic, love it!) - Jazz Reunion (Hawk, Pee Wee, Brookmeyer, Emmett Berry Then Clark Terry might fit the category, too (although maybe he's a little bit too young?), but both of my recommendations are maybe too modern for this thread: - his Candid date is great - his Emarcy debut LP (reissued in the VEE series) Harry Edison "Swinger" & "Mr Swing" - the only leader dates of his I've got, but two very good albums (also in the VEE series). Hawk made many albums that fit the category. Favorites might be the "Hawkins! Eldridge! Hodges! Alive!" and "Hawkins and Eldridge at the Opera House" albums: The Verve catalogue certainly holds dozens of great records to fit in here. All the Hodges and Webster recordings, the Benny Carter stuff, Eldridge etc. Oh, yes, the Hawkins encounters Webster is another perrennial favorite of mine! Two more: ubu

Thanks Tom! I wrote a Mail ten minutes ago, to know for sure, and already got a reply (still the best service in the business ): 330 are left! ubu

Sonny Red – Red, Blue & Green That's what you get exactly on the disc: (A) May 29, 1961 Sonny Red (as), Cedar Walton (p), George Tucker (B), Jimmy Cobb (d). CD-Track-Number I Like The Likes Of You Duke-Harburg 4.19 2 Bye, Bye Blues Red 4.30 4 Never, Never Land Comden-Green-Styne 6.31 6 Ko-Kee Red 4.12 7 (B) June 25, 1961 Blue Mitchell (t), Sonny Red (as), Barry Harris (p), George Tucker (B), Lex Humphries (d).

Then there's an even better (in my opinion, of course) Cliff Jordan twofer, called "Mosaic", which holds a very good Jordan date, coupled with an album Red and Jordan co-led. ubu

Thats one beaten up cover. You must have played that a lot. PDEE, I regret to inform you that this is not a scan of my cover. I have in on CD, but this is a nice and large reproduction of the cover... I've taken it from an incredible site that has been mentioned here somewhere already: here (click "Jazz Record" on the left and let the fun begin...) ubu B)

It sure did work that way (me being only 24, but having a little tiny bit of knowledge on other BN singles holing one tune of similar lenght). Never knew about the car publicity use! ubu

I'm a big fan of this one: ubu

Hey, THAT's the important part! ubu

deus, as has been said before, the boxes used US-remasterings. I bought some of them, too, and have not come to listen to all of them, either. Generally, it seems that all Fantasy reissues distributed here (Switzerland, in my case), are produced by ZYX, but all - except for the erratic 20bit remasters series - use US-remasterings. You can see that easily, as it says on the back cover of the discs, "Remastering 200X, Kirk Felton (or whoever) (Fantasy Studios, Berkeley)". On the bottom of the back of the CD, it says "Manufactured under License for Distribution by ZYX-Music". Nothing wrong with these! ubu

Thanks, Claude! Hell, the shop where I picked up the CCCD of Hill and Young for 15 CHF (around 10 Euros or 11$ - they usually go here for 33-36 CHF!! And I'll replace them in time by ordering from the US) - they did NOT have the only normal CD, the Morgan, of course! ubu

I would like to grab them YESTERDAY rather than today, but money is a little short these days... Maybe end of the month. You have a complete list of them? Could start a thread in the Reissues section! ubu

Yeah, that Gayle disc is GREAT! The Ornettes are part of the daily bread, of course. Add the Town Hall disc, too! ubu

Then, this site provides more info on him than one earthly being could digest in a lifetime: http://www.velocity.net/~bb10k/RIVERS.disc.html ubu

Bringing this one up! It's Rivers time, guys! The man is huge, has a huge discography, yet most of his records are quite difficult to find (at least this side of the water, high up in the swiss alps). I hope I'll find the time to listen to Fuchsia Swing Song somewhen this week and type some of my ideas here. And that's probably my favorite photo of the man: ubu

Hey, couw! The usual brilliant work! - Actually, just to have some use for this covers - is there any possibility yet to get the BT disc issued up to now? (and with such a cover, I am hard pressed to let a friend of mine do the painful work of compiling a CDr, too, so that I get such a cover... but it would have to be along the lines of the Dan Gould one... ubu

I thought that one was a normal CD? Because it was too long to fit on a cactus s**t? ubu

HELL!! I missed the Brotzmann! Anyone has a spare copy? I only have one Vandermark disc so far: See more here. I like it very much! ubu

Are these complete sessions? Or just half ones? I'd love to have the COMPLETE Lucky T Paris dates! (I have all three JiPs and the two Vogues, so far, and the ASiPs are easy to find here). ubu

I could pick it up as an Affinity LP. Anyone knows how that edition sounds? If it's not too bad (I'm no audiophile), I might go for it! ubu

found this puppy for some 6 or 7 bucks worth yesterday: I like what I heard till now (only began listening to the disc) ubu

Anyone has an idea how many of the set are left? ubu

I think the Rudd/Shepp reunion is not bad, but certainly not BAD in any way, either! Quite a nice affair, and with Grachan Moncur III added, they produce some nice sounds. Rhythm section is strong, but Shepp does too much piano playing and singing. A little bit of an inconsistent disc, in my opinion. I have never heard the Lacy/Rudd. ubu

Thanks for this information, Vincent! Mike: is there a possibility of attaining your Lucky discography? (is it the Paris recordings or a general one?) I'd love to get that! Clunky (or anyone who knows) - as I don't have those Americans Swingin' in Paris discs yet - they both consist of four lenthy tracks? That would be quite a departure from the sessions for Vogue and those in the Jazz in Paris series. By the way, Vogue Vol. 2 contains three great live tracks with Lucky in trio, accompanied by Peter Trunk on bass and the great Daniel Humair, drums. (The rest of the LP was made up of the three Bud Powell tracks reissued on the Original Vogue Masters CD called Duke Jordan / Bud Powell - New York / Paris). ubu

State of the Tenor is the one that came to my mind first, too! Other albums in the format I like are Benny Wallace's early ones (Live at the Public Theatre and his debut album, both on Enja). And the later Big Jim's Tango (with Dave Holland and Elvin) being one of my favorite Wallace albums. His Plays Monk has Jimmy Knepper on about half the tracks, the rest also being a trio affair. Then Enja released another very good trio album, Bobby Jones' Hill Country Suite (with Jiri Mraz and the great Freddie Waits). Teddy Edwards made a beautiful album with Christian McBride and Billy Higgins, called Tango in Harlem. Another vote for Garbarek/Vitous/Erskine's Star! A classic: Lee Konitz, Motian (with Dallas, E. Jones) Sam Rivers made several recordings with just bass & drums. There was that Impulse CD reissue some years ago, "Trio Live", and another I have (on LP) is Paragon (with Holland & Altschul). I mentioned this one in the New Releases forum some days ago: Damaged in Transit, a unit led by Steve Swallow, with Adam Nussbaum and Chris Potter. I have not yet bought (but listened to already to) their new live album (XWATT/ECM), but I saw them live just a few days apart from when the album was made, and they were BAAD! ubu

Thanks for jumping in, Lon! Dmitry, I think that 8CD set is one of the greatest reissues of more recent years. The only things to complain about are the high prize (I bought mine online, in Stores in Switzerland, the prize is more than 200$!) and the fairly chaotic liner notes (which do cover everything, but not in chronological order, as there is a part on the Savoy stuff - reprinted from the 5LP Savoy box, as is an interview with Savoy's producer/owner, who's name escapes me right now - and a separate part covering all the rest, while the music is presented in chronological order). But these are minor complaints, in my opinion. And be aware that one disc had some speed problems - this was fixed when I got my set, but if you find one that has been standing around in a shop for some 2 or 3 years, it might be an issue. I cannot recall exactly what it was, but someone here sure could, if necessary. ubu

yeah, and dont't forget: ubu
