Yes, I do have several recordings of this tour (the two Enjas, the 3LP thing from Amsterdam, a very cheap CD from Oslo, the Revenge set... and the "Great Concert" has recently been reissued, too).
This is what I found on the Stuttgard concert:

So the upcoming broadcast will contain maximum half of what was recorded that night... And poor king ubu will have to hunt down those LPs nevertheless...

Well, I looked at the Savoy 3CD issue (Odyssey or something), and at the Proper box. This raises some questions. I do own the RCA 2CD set (and consider it essential), and the Bird 8CD Savoy/Dial etc. box.
Now: are the Dizzy sessions included in the Savoy box complete? Or are there tracks missing? As I get it, the Proper does not have any of the DeeGee stuff of the Savoy. Is this music worthwile?
The Musicraft dates are also in the Savoy box? (The May 15, June 10, and July 9, 1946 dates)
Somehow it seems I could pick up the Savoy thing and disregard the Properbox, but the Proper does include the Manor date (Jan 9, 1945) and the Dial session (Feb 6, 46) as well as two tracks released on Phoenix and Guild respectively (Feb 9, 1945).
What's the best way to get all this music? Chronological Classics?
thanks for clarifications / recommendations!

This might be of interest to our german (and swiss - hell, I love talking to myself...) friends:
Donnerstag, 6. November 2003 um 19.05 UhrSWR2 Abendkonzert
SWR Jazz Session: Aus dem Archiv
Charlie Mingus, Eric Dolphy und Jaki Byard
1964 live in Stuttgart
Von Gudrun Endress
Der Kontrabassist und Komponist Charles Mingus war eine gespaltene Persönlichkeit. In seiner klangfarbenreichen Musik sprach er von Liebe und Schönheit. In krassem Gegensatz dazu stand seine Verbitterung über das Unrecht, das den Schwarzen in den USA tagtäglich zugefügt wird. Bei den turbulenten Auftritten 1964 in Europa spielte Mingus Stücke, die die Rassen Segregation zum Inhalt hatten, etwa sein "Fables of Faubus". Kongeniale Partner von Mingus waren der Pianist Jaki Byard, ein Kaleidoskop der Piano-Spielweisen im Jazz, sowie der Altsaxophonist Eric Dolphy. Seine Saxophonstimme verfügte über einen unnachahmlichen "human cry".
70 min.
This concert is available on some bootleg, but it's certainly nice to hear it again (or, as in my case, hear it for the very first time), in what might be the best possible sound quality. It seems they play LPs in their recently started "Archives"-series, but usually, it's in quite good quality!

is "Redds Blues" worth bothering about to get extra Tina ?
I cannot tell you, but I know I'll have it before it goes OOP!

Another lucky owner of the Mosaic!
(Found one two or three years ago, not too expansive. Is that discography inside really including ALL there is from TEE NAH!?)
The Hubbard is a real good one. Then the stuff he made with Kenny Burrell, and also don't forget the Freddie Redd date and all the stuff he made with Jimmy Smith!

For me it's Miles Smiles, with The Sorcerer, ESP and the Berlin concert close behind.
Though I do not know any broadcasts of the second quintet - I would certainly love to hear some of it!
The mood on the Berlin tracks is great if you ask me.
Plugged Nickel is beyond category, for me. And I have to admit that I don't know the music on those 8 CDs very well. I could hardly tell the different sets... gotta listen again!

I know there was no Miles-Moreau story, but I love those pictures nevertheless! You don't get photos taken from one of your favorite jazz musician with one of your favorite film star that often, do you?

... It is, at turns, wry, funky, romantic, iconoclastic, swinging, wild, poignant, nostalgic, and kind of visionary - sometimes all at once. This episodic work evokes for me, in music and words, a sequence of impressions from a jazz life, the life of Hal Russell. I am taken on a journey through time, from the Swing Era to Billy Holiday,..., from Miles Davis to Albert Ayler, culminating in Russell's NRG Ensemble performing in Europe, all the time fueled by an abiding need to improvise/survive and move towards expressive freedom. This recording ends with two appealing "encores"; the second is a rousing version of Peter Green's "Oh Well" (from back when Fleetwood Mac was a decent band) ...
Very well said, SEK!
I never had a problem getting access to Russell's music. It strikes me as some of the funniest, weirdest, grooviest stuff around!
Hope you have fun with the Finnish/Swiss album, as well! I have that one, too. Somehow though I prefer Story - I think it's the more rock-like stuff on Finnish/Swiss which makes me like it a little less (I never could relate to rock that much - with exceptions of course; going to see Bob Dylan next week once again...)
What strikes me most about Russell is that he does not care about "genres" of "styles", and yet his music still never get ecclectic. It's more like he collects all his influences, the re-shapes everything along his own premises, and the outgrowth of this is a highly individualistic, and completely "new" musical universe.
And then he's quite a player, too!
Gary, I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Keep the comments coming! Matthew, John B?
I have very little time to listen right now, but I hope to give some more personal comments on the weekend.

I don't care about the sound that much, as none of this music was readily available before...
Can anyone comment on the Brook Benton and Frank D'rone releases? Never heard of these two (men & albums)!

It's all good if you ask me ...
That's what I was afraid of... I will look for them! Thanks!

(Maybe we could stard a Miles-Jeanne-thread?)
Starting with this one???
cool, sure B)
Hell, what's Miles got to do with that?! Was he ... there?!? Holy cow!

More off-topic:
I prefer the second one. I find it more SUGGESTIVE??? B)
yes! I know an even better pic, but cannot find it online!
YOU are the picture-wizard, EKE, you try to find some more!

and dig once more? (all off topic, but such nice pics,... I'm sure no one gets mad about that!)

dig?

Have fun with these!
Some good ones, you have picked up!
Don't forget to add the other Donald Byrd disc to your list. They both come from the same concert - and I love them! Walter Davis and Bobby Jaspar are great musicians, whose fame could be a little wider spread in my opinion.
The Clarke, Criss and Thomas are favorites of mine. There's a second one by Thomas, and as a companion to the Criss, look at Saxophones at Saint-Germain des Pres. That one has tracks by Criss, Hubert Fol and Michel de Villers - the Fol tracks are sublime!

Thanks for the Song X
. Just added it to an open order on amazon Germany. Costs me 8.5 Euros, no shipping. Not bad!ubu

Song X, Geffen

Is that one still around? It's been at least five years since I last saw it here!

Rooster, I'm from Switzerland... HELL!
Thanks everybody for your recommendations (keep'em coming!).
I have seen "In All Languages" here, someplace, but for the usual price (being around 22-25$ for fully priced CDs).
Nobody can speak in favor of "Body Meta"?
And how about acoustic stuff?
(yes, I know the duo with Kühn has been mentioned. I will pick up that one for sure)
What do you think of the two discs with Geri Allen?
thanks,

I read Jonathan Safran Foer's "Everything is illuminated" on my vacation.
It's been quite some time, believe me, that I have read a book which so thoroughly amused me, and at the same time, moved me. One of the best books I've read since quite some time!
Anybody read it?
Just bought Eugenides "Middlesex", but no time to read it right now. Others on my stack are: Franzen (Corrections), McEvan (Atonement), and of course much german stuff (Ingeborg Bachmann, Robert Musil).
Other future reading shall include Paterson by W.C. Williams (anyone knows it?), some Blake, Elliott, Whitman etc.

I heard "Alone Together" on the radio recently - and while I was immediately sure it was Gene Harris on piano (although actually I don't know more of his than this 2CD set and two Three Sounds discs), but somehow I had very very long to find out the tenorist was Turrentine. My main problem was that I thought this was one of those Harris Concord albums (I know none of them), the style of music they dub "modern mainstream" here.
However the interpretation of that nice standard struck me as beautifully crafted, open-minded swining music.
I usually tend to under-estimate the whole album, though every time I spin it again (three or four times a year, maybe), it strucks me as a very fine one!

I have seen that by now all of Ornette's Universal/Verve stuff is OOP. I don't have any of this, and would like to get some recommendations. Not only for the electric (prime time) stuff, but generally for the post Impulse, Columbia, post-classic or whatever you could dub that period of his work.
The only one I do have is one of the two discs with Geri Allen.
I have listened an hour ago to some of "Body Meta" - and somehow I find it difficult to get into that music. Recording quality (or generally the sound) bugs me quite a bit, too.
However, I would like to explore some of this stuff before it vanishes at all...
thanks,

(all off-topic, sorry!)
couw, Ms Hipp appears as a side-woman on the disc I mentioned.
The following are the Koller tracks (taken from amazon.fr) - and I have to stress that I am going from memory and am not sure if she really is on any of all of them - gotta check as soon as possible, but have no access to my collection right now):
8. The Way You Look Tonight(Koller Hans)
9. You Go To My Head(Koller Hans)
10. Flamingo(Koller Hans)
11. Four Roses In A Iceblock(Koller Hans)
12. Unter Den Linden(Koller Hans)
13. All The Things You Are(Koller Hans)
14. What's New(Koller Hans)
15. Indian Summer(Koller Hans)
Seems to be something else than what's on the disc you linked above. PM me, and I'll give you the rest of the details - but I won't have time till late on wednesday or thursday morning.

Mingus 1964 - live on german radio
in Recommendations
Posted
Claude, SWR2 usually has bi-weekly jazz live broadcasts on thursdays.
Usually they broadcast stuff they recorded themselves (the so-called "SWR Jazz Sessions"), but now they have started a series called something like "From the SWR (actually SWF and SDR) Archives". The first in the series was an hommage to Albert Mangelsdorff, then came a Brubeck quartet date from the eighties (with Bill Smith) and now comes Mingus. In between they feature some new stuff. I think you get archivals once a month and new stuff once a month.
