amazon.de seems to be a possible way to go. They still list 65 hits for a "jazz in paris" search. ubu

and there was the marvellous Rowles/Getz "The Peacock"... great one to have! ubu

Thanks, brownie! I'll check as soon as I find time to listen to this album again! ubu

Thanks, Mike! Sounds good to me. I don't have the video either. Will have to listen to it as soon as I can - I really enjoy this album! ubu

Thanks, guys! And thank you, Mike! I hope this will clear it up! ubu

Wouldn't they make up a very nice Mosaic Select ?!? ubu

I love the Nessa set, too! I've had it for several years (it was one of my first Trueblue purchases). Otherwise, I've not yet started continuing my AEOC exploration very much further. I picked up a CD reissue by 1201, called "Spiritual", and then that italian magazine called "Musica Jazz" (I don't know whether it still exists, it's been several months since I last saw it) had a concert (one of the last ones with Bowie, but without Jarman) added to one number. ubu

Yeah, that was "Helen Merrill aka Jelena Ana Miketic" - sublime indeed! And "You And The Night And The Music" as well as "Brownie" were very good, too! I do like her voice on the later records just as well as on the earlier ones (of which I have only the sides with Brownie, and then those Milestone (?) albums reissued on Universal). You might check out "Music Makers" (Owl, as I get it, these are distributed in the US by Sunnyside, but I don't know about it) - it features her with Gordon Beck (with whom she made a good album of duos, also for Owl) and Steve Lacy or Stephane Grappelli (one per side of the original record). ubu

So this means I gotta run and pick up all not protected I can find!?!?! I rather stop eating and renting a flat yesterday than today... HELL! Why they do this!? Is there any place where one can make complaints about this shit? I mean, the salespersons in stores here don't even realize that they are not selling compact discs anymore but those darned... (neither do they realize what a piece of **** those definitive reissues are. They carry them, and they even sell them for full prizes... holy cow!) ubu

David, I think it started two batches ago, but I'm not sure, which is why I'm asking for a list... ubu

Can someone provide a list of the RVG batches that are copy protected? While In Search of New Land and Mode for Joe certainly are, I don't think Sidewinder is!? At least it's not written on those I saw here (I still own the old CD only). ubu

This shows us what the margins are... a CD's worth is some 5 or 6$ or even less... I mean, I do not care to pay a little bit more for a mosaic or some independent label release, but hey, for instance Universal discs sell for 33 CHF here, which is around 21 Euros or some 24 or 25$ currently... And you won't see any release (except for the LPR series, which are nice price releases here, and cost 23-25 CHF) from Universal for any better price! ubu

I don't seem to be able to find this one for a reasonable price here in Switzerland (and amazon.de does not seem to deliver it... well, at least they did not yet cancel my order, so there is hope still). Petty I cannot participate here, as I like Jordan a lot! I recommend picking up the two 32jazz dates, as long as they're around! ubu

EKE, I will probably see Ibrahim solo in two and a half weeks here in Zurich. I have seen him recently with his trio, and earlier with Roach and some years ago solo, too. The solo concert being the most memorable of these three concerts, I hope for another good one! ubu

MY BOX HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!! Very cool! No chance to listen yet (and very little time currently), but it SURE LOOKS GOOD TO ME! Gotta give Mr Stom props! And huge thanks to Chaney for hyping me to this one in time! ubu

Jim, thanks for the I got Vol. 1 out of a sale bin earlier this year for some 6 or 7 bucks worth of money, but have only listened to it very casually. Gotta sit down and give it a thorough listen! And get Vol. 2! ubu

calling sponsor ... calling sponsor ... poor king ubu calling sponsor ... please send pm to receive address where to send either the De Franco discs or cash... thanks, ubu

Oh, yes, I forgot about the address part! If somebody will do a CDr for me, please PM or Email me, to tell me where to send my address! ubu

Could anyone please type out the track listings and dates of the Fats Navarro/Tadd Dameron Milestone CD? I'm trying to figure out if I need that one, or if I do have all the tracks somewhere else already. As those broadcasts often included the same tunes again and again, it's impossible to compare just the info on the fantasy-website and the discography. thanks! ubu

Between 1995 and 1998, Switzerland has introduced new banknotes. While the artists chosen are not actually Hendrix or somthing, they all lived and worked and became more or less famous in the twentieth century. They have the following guys (and one doll, even!) on them: 10: Le Corbusier (architect, guilty of crimes against humanity, although he built *some* nice houses...) 20: Arthur Honegger (classical composer) 50: Sophie Täuber-Arp (artists, part of early 20c avant-garde - dada movement in Zurich) 100: Giacometti (great GREAT painter and sculptor - if you happen to be in Zurich, go to the Kunsthaus and check out the Giacometti rooms!) 200: Charles Ferdinand Ramuz (inventor of the "great peasant-style", great author of the first half of the 20th century) 1000: Jacob Burckhardt (historian, famous mostly for his work on the italian renaissance) you can see them and read a little more here: http://www.snb.ch/d/banknoten/noten.html While I will certainly be glad when the time arrives when Switzerland will again become a part of Europe, I will certainly also miss the current banknotes! ubu

Late, too, as I am so often... Thanks very very much, Jim, and Use3D for this cool site! I really feel at home here - and this is the very first time I feel at home somewhere in virtual reality. Keep going strong! ubu

I would like to participate, too. I was rather hesitant, because I don't have the possibility to burn CDrs myself, and won't be able to buy equipment in the coming months... but reading the above comments, and understanding that others do participate without being able to make burns either, I'd like to humbly get part of the Blindfold No. 4. ubu

brownie, do you know if the Rollins has anything not on the 6CD RCA box? I love that period of Sonny! ubu

There were many Sony France reissues. Some can still be found here, however, the remastering is usually not good enough anymore for current standards. All Monk albums were available in that series, except (I never saw this, at least) the one with Oliver Nelson. The late Miles (post 1981) and also some earlier albums of his were reissued in France. The series, by the way, was conceived and produced by Henri Renaud. And I don't know if this series is still around, but I have a digipack reissue (with all the additional material and good remastering) of the Jim Hall album feat. Baker and Desmond, and another 2CD digipack of Herbie Hancock's "VSOP" live album (feat. the quintet with Shorter/Hubbard/Carter/Williams, the sextet in a special reunion and the current Hancock group with Wah Wah Watson and others). I think these are european productions, too. ubu
