RT: very c oo l image; thanks for posting that, it makes a point doesn't it? And HWright: WELCOME! I agree, Tingen's book is very very interesting for fans of this music!

So. . . how is this set notes wise, sound wise, is it really complete?

Have a great one Catesta, and many more happy ones!

I still think for the most part the first fifteen years of Blue Note's recorded output is my favorite. I love this disc! And others from the period. And I three wish that RVG would be turned loose on these acetates!

I agree; several friends transfer lps for me, and some of my favorite listening experiences are vinyl on cdr. . . .

No, I've had a copy for some time now. I'm just singing its praises!

Certainly worth trading for in any case. Fascinating album to me. . . amazing piano and group feeling.

Yeah, Stan Lee, what a hoot.

This was Cecil's first recording session as a leader I believe. A very good session, I like early Cecil Taylor VERY much. I don't believe this is out of print. I looked at three online sources and found it available for purchase from all three!

Does Duke Ellington's "Jazz Violin Session" count?

Brownian Motion mentioned it!

Yeah, I keep hoping "vinly" comes back. . . I need a few more!

I also am very very very fond of the Wild Bill Davison lps with strings, the two on Columbia and the later one on Storyville; his brash sound and nice string playing are a good combination! I like "Hot House Flowers" too.

The Hodges was released as a Japanese cd about five years ago.

"Stringin' Along with Basie" on Roulette is a hoot!

King Oliver got my vote. Thanks for including him!

Many many more happy ones!

You are correct Ubu, JAY CAMERON was a great baritonist!

Since we're talking about Wilen on the board again these days, Wilen absolutely does a killing baritone piece on the Osaka Concert cd, "Sous les Ciels de Paris" ---I really love it. He really blows a nice baritone (he had a great sound and swing on the soprano, alto and tenor too!)

I've become a huge Wilen fan, mainly because of Kevin Bresnahan, who years ago sent me a disc he had grown tired of that reawakened my interest, and led to me seeking out all the recordings I could find. There really aren't bad ones. . . . I love the work he did in the eighties and nineties and want to find more. . . I need a few that haven't come out on cd yet, most notably the avantgarde titles. I have New York Romance with that other cover Ubu (Le Ca--can't figure out how to add the cedille) and I love it; mine is a gold disc that sounds fantastic. All those discs pictured are great. Mental Cruelty is worth picking up as well. Anyone have any details about artist Marie Moor Barney's girlfriend . . . she seems to be a celebrity of a sort in her own right. I've never been able to find the album that she did that Barney may have produced and did participate in. . . .

Hey Aftab, welcome! Good to see you; Lon Armstrong here. I just had a visit here in Austin from a penpal and jazz fan in Green Bay, Craig Turner. . . he's a nice man and a great jazz fan. . . . Hang around and post!

Yeah, we've done this before. I really feel it is apples and oranges. Different intents of the bulletin boards by their founders, and both groups have really made the boards they want to have. This one is tops for ME, probably for US, but the other one works for many another. So be it! Just let's keep this place HOPPIN'!

I have to find this somehow soon. . . I have a long deleted Columbia cd of jazz pieces rearranged and performed by classical musicians which I love; I know it's the flip side of the topic of this thread but I think it's great. I'm actually not really fond of jazz musicians playing classical. . . unless it's maybe Ellingtonians playing Ducal classical music. . . .

What Chuck said. The three cd version is a mind-fugger. Yeah the stuff with Elvin is great, but it's ALL great!

Okay, so maybe my favorite holiday song is really . . . "Yesterdays" from the Commodore days. . . . Oh and as an Xmas cd, well I really don't like Xmas music at all. Being a PK I've heard it all too too too many times. But I do like Marcus Roberts' "Prayer for Peace."
