I got mine from Red Trumpet, and they seem to have it still: http://www.redtrumpet.com/software/item.ph...&sid=1151033254

That reverb etc. was Teo's contribution to the original album of the "It Club" release. UGH. France just used his tapes, not the original undoctored tapes that Columbia used for it's cd release.

I should have qualified my statement to say that I haven't heard the Philology cds, only a lot of the material on other (earlier released) recordings.

The sound quality on a lot of this stuff is pretty bad. . . .

I know two vinylnuts that love this one. . . but I know what you'll say. http://www.decware.com/phono/zp1.htm Haven't heard it myself, but I think his products are fantastic, have lived with several for years. Amazing bang for buck!

I for one don't have the box, just a number of single releases (including three or four Japanese) and having all the masters in one place makes sense to me.

The Dick Cathcart would be cool indeed. . . a great trumpeter! Hey, is that really Bix under that snow? B)

Here's a review of the Slim Gaillard Proper box set I did for AAJ; there are reviews there of the Tatum and other boxes as well. . . . http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/review.php?id=10872 I've had this one, and I have the Wills, Milton Brown, Hillbilly Boogie, Wynonie Harris and Swing Tanzen Verboten boxes. I haven't listened to them much. . . .They're cool though. I wasn't crazy about Proper at first, because with artists such as Pres and Hawk they weren't putting entire sessions into the boxes and I was just worried that material would become orphaned and forgotten, or that people would pick up the Pres box and think they didn't need to get anything else. . . . I've been won over by the boxes they have released that are more complete, such as the Harris and Brown and a few others. . . .

I agree Joe; more recordings from that Silver group would be really welcome!

That's probably what you should do. That's probably what I should do. I've never been able to "get" this group. I've enjoyed the recordings of some of the members individually, but collectively. . . I've hardly been able to make it through a single lp side. . . But I haven't heard these seminal recordings. . . .

Thanks for letting me know. I'll probably pick this up after Christmas. . . tin box and all!

I love this album. It is one of those Blue Notes that are different, step away from the label's formulas, and for that I dig it. Washington is a player that I dig very much as well, and he really shines here on this soulful release. A good job by all really, if you ask me; I have had this for some years thanks to Greg mailing me a copy bought from a Tower in California. . . and I've found two other Washington dates since that I like, but not as well as this. Hard to describe really, it's a soulful jazz date that veers at time to the freejazz world. . . . I'm hoping that it is reissued in America one fine day. I've heard tales of Michael and Bob Belden laughing away while listening to Washington's unreleased session. . . I'd still love to hear it one day. . . maybe one day after Michael is no longer custodian of the vaults. . . . I'm convinced that I will at least enjoy the hearing once. . . and possible enjoy replaying it a lot. I'm very interested to hear what those cats put down that day.

There was the five cd series "Duke Ellington 1947 to 1952"; that is a prized posession of mine. There were others that eventually did come out as American cds. And others such as "Jazz Summit" by Charlie Parker, "Always Know" by Monk, "Unknown Session" from Duke that have not . . . A nice series. I wish I'd been able to snap up "Cosmic Scene," "A Drum is a Woman," "All American," and "Midnight in Paris". . . .

Great movie. . . I'm not getting the DVD because part of the appeal of this thing was the huge screen experience, know what I mean? But I like this movie, a lot, and NOT because I've had a clown fish at home for about three years!

I've liked all the Atlantic material that I have heard. IF you like his electric and funky stuff, then nearly all of these will please. Definitely consider the one that reissues the Columbia lps though, Cool Sax, Warm Heart / Cool Sax From Hollywood To Broadway.

I have the Blue Moons, and I have one on Collectables. The Moons have better sound by a few hairs, but the Collectable is not bad at all sound wise. . . . If possible shoot for the Moons!

These have actually been out for a few years (at least the Green and Boyd have been) on Blue Moon. The Boyd is very good; mellow and swinging date. Wonderful Grant Green. I've not seen or heard the Quigleys. . . .

Those are really great! Thanks for sharing.

I'm a big fan of Mr. Harris. I love his VeeJay and Atlantic work, and the work on other labels too. . .ah heck, I just love his work. Period. I thought of starting a thread for him. . . I was going to call it "The Eddie Harris Outlet" . . .Plug him in!

The live cd sold by the winery is very nice! All her work is excellent in my opinion. You're going to really enjoy that show!

I guess the no parking zone would be a drag. . . if I had a car. I can get to Tower a lot easier without a car and it's literally two blocks from where my wife works, and less than a quarter of a block from the busstop where three routes I use pass by. The drag worms don't bother me. I feel sorry for these people for the most part. And unless things have changed recently, Waterloo and Tower always seemed to have the same prices to me. And at Tower you can go up to a room and hear jazz and classical. Lord knows what you hear at Waterloo. Anyway, yeah chainstores basically suck. But then Waterloo I don't find too impressive. I'd welcome another alternative, but. . . . Joe Henderson does some great shit and shinola on The Prisoner!

Just to weigh in: I like her piano playing, and the trio albums were nice. Her singing doesn't send me though; I don't get much from it, though I have tried, I'm not just dissing her cuz it's cool.

I think Waterloo is a pretty blah record store actually, or at least for my needs Tower is a better store: better location, better selection, very helpful jazz buyer. I've never spent the time and dollars at Waterloo that I have at Tower. Partly because Waterloo has that truly annoying procedure---that they seem to pride themselves on---of not having sections in their new cds, just listing nearly everything alphabetically by artist. Not fun for me to shop that way! And I'm usually disappointed at what I don't find there. Cornerstone of the music scene? Maybe. . . probably not though in my opinion. I've been in the music scene here, marginally, for a time and Waterloo didn't make any difference as far as I could see, but hey, maybe. Tower has instores too. Tower opened TWELVE years ago. Tower the chain is on the ropes, not becasue of Waterloo. Also, I have seen Tower take back any cd pretty much for any reason. Company policy may not be explicitly such, but actual store practice is. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. Take The Prisoner back and get something else! If you already know it is not something you like, so be it. Get somethin' greezy! B)
