Gawd, I forgot "Pierrot Le Fou" in my list! Hell! That's a great movie for sure! Check out Samuel Fuller's statement on cinema! ubu

I just heard the album Frisell did with Jim Keltner and Viktor Krauss, "Gone, just like a train" - and I like it a lot. Higly polished, most of the time (sure fits Keltner), but often humorous, and lots of drive. "Post-modern" seems to be the right label for Frisell, if we need one. Recently, I also found "Bass Desires", and then realized I have some more albums with him, as the first Joey Baron disc with Frisell/Blythe/Carter ("Down Home"). And also have I heard one of those duo gigs with Joey Baron, which was very good. They even played a standard (There Is No Greater Love). How good is the album with Dave Holland and Elvin Jones? ubu

That's the best decision, sal! The box includes the three albums issued later on and compiling material from several sessions, which are not available here as single CDs, and all the stuff is chronologically packed. It's very interesting also, to see how the sound of the quartet changed with the changes of the bass or drums players (Higgins-Blackwell and Haden-Garrison-LaFaro). And the music is sublime, of course! ubu

Hey, I didn't notice this thread was safed from that evil other place! Very nice link, brownie! thanks for posting. ubu

Yeah, these are two good ones! And of course all the stuff with Miles/Trane (get that box if you don't have it...) (Not just what's on KoB and Milestones) ubu

On www.warnerclassics.de you find some reissues of newer origin. As I have the box, I don't know any of these, but the two series called "Atlantic Masters" and a (little older) "Atlantic Original Sound" are not bad. Anyway, I have no idea about the remastering quality of the Ornettes. The "Atlantic Masters" include "Change of the Century" and "Free Jazz", the "Original Sound" includes "This Is Our Music". "Free Jazz" was also issued in the Rhino/Atlantic deluxe series. But I would recommend the box, too! Was one of my first box sets, and it's sure worth every penny! ubu

yeah, Parlan! also: Kelly Garland Timmons ubu

Thanks, Chuck! Will look for this then, rather than the Classics. The Neatworks then would add alts. ubu

Absolutely! The Savoy and the Mercury stuff is great! Both are available as 2CD sets (but as Lon said, the "Summer of 55" set misses some tracks - thanks to Keepnews...) A nice addition to the Mercury is the recent Shearing/Adderley-Newport 57 disc (Pablo/Fantasy). It contains the two quintet's respective sets, and the A-Brothers join the Shearing band for an extended blow on a nice Curtis Fuller tune. ubu

Thanks everybody for your recommendations! And sorry for taking that long to return - had some exams today at university and no time to be online. Following is the discography of the Proper box.

Thanks, Mike. I will look for that. Re: Classics, I'm a little bit afraid to start with getting them - because once I have two or three, I want to have all of them... ubu

Yes, I have the two boxes (solo & group) - in their german (ZYX) incarnations but the usual old Fantasy remastering (which sounds fine to me). I though about recordings from the thirties/forties. ubu

I'm starting to get into Tatum. I picked up the two masterpiieces box-sets from the recent zweitauseneins sale. Then I have the Complete Capitol and the 20th Century Piano Genius 2CDs. What about some earlier recordings? Where could I start with Tatum? I am somehow reluctant to start with his later/latest music, so would be glad about some recommendations on earlier Tatum recordings. ubu

I listened to all the studio sessions over the weekend. Great music. And somehow, sameness doesn't matter, Wilson being such a master and the changing rhythm sections really bringing a dirfferent feel to every session. Thumbs up also for Jo Jones! By the way: (becasue of the title of the set): what else (in non-trio line-ups, obviously) did Wilson record for Verve? I have the Jazz Giants and Prez & Teddy sessions. Is there something else? ubu

Nat does great job on Paul Golsalves' Gettin' Together (Jazzland/OJC) ubu

That's a good chice for sure! A very interesting and open-minded musician. Thanks for sharing, brownie. ubu

Love Nat! Check out the recordings he made with J.J. Johnson (included in the JJ Columbia mosaic). Those with cornet/trombone only frontline are my favorites among them. Then yes, "Work Song"! A gem. With the different line ups things get very interesting. Good solos from everybody, too. The VME of Nat's (can't remember the title - it has Cannon, Silver, Chambers and Roy Haynes) is great, too. Anyone in for recommendations of leader dates Nat made? I know much of the stuff he made with Cannonball, and I'd like to have some more of Nat (without Cannon), too. Good thread! ubu

Yeah, Woddy! He deserves having his own thread! I grabbed all the 32 releases some thime ago, after the label had gone - Little Red's Fantasy & Moontrane are fantastic, Iron Man (is this the most out album he made as leader?) and the Berlin as well as his demo-session (the one with Joe Henderson, Larry Young, Herbie Hancock etc) are personal favorites, as is the Mosaic. Muse/32 had some nice dates with Woody as sideman: - Louis Hayes: The Real Thing (with René McLean, Ronnie Mathews, Stafford James & Slide Hampton) - Roy Brooks: The Free Slave (with George Coleman & Hugh Lawson) Then a nice and probably not too well known CD: Louis Hayes - Woody Shaw Quintet / Lausanne 1977 Woody Shaw - t/flh René McLean - ts/ss/fl Ronnie Mathews - p Stafford Hames - b Louis Hayes - d In Case You Haven't Heard (Shaw) 15:25 Moontrane (Shaw) 15:39 Contemplation (Shorter-arr. Mathews) 8:08 (omit horns) Jean-Marie (Mathews) 13:35 Bilad As Sudan (McLean) 19:16 Recorded live at Salle d'Epalinges, Lausanne, Switzerland, February 4, 1977. ubu

no need to try, as I'm very much into some local beers (a tradition, which, hélas!, has been slowly but surely decaying over the last years in switzerland), and some other european ones. How about a nice ol' Leffe? Or some Jever? Then, of course, there are some moments in life, where nothing but a Guiness is right... ubu

amazon - Monk, London this is the closest you can get to the Monk these days. However, as lousy as 1201music's 24-bit reissues are (and they're even more pricey), I still recommend you wait until they bring Vol. 2. I have Vols. 1 and 23 in their Black Lion releases, and they sound alright to my (not very audiophile) ears. Anyone found a good place on the www to get those 1201 discs a little cheaper? ubu

The Bright One: De Franco (cl), Clark (p), Wright (B), White (d): April 7, 1954: Cable Car Yesterdays Lover Man Jack the Fielstalker Deep Purple If I Should Lose You August 9, 1954: Titoro Mine Now's The Time Gerry's Tune August 10, 1954: Laura I'll Remember April The Bright One September 1, 1954: A Foggy Day What Can I Say Dear --- The title track is not in its chronological place, but at the end of the CD. brownie: Past Perfect also has some licensed stuff (several Candid albums, I bought some of these lately). So they're not purely a rip-off, it seems. Not that they produce too nice CDs, but at least you can get some good music at a nice price... (I got the Russell/Hawk, Don Ellis & Clark Terry Candid albums in their Past Perfect reincarnations) ubu
