almost grabbed that (Japanese version) earlier this year from a local shop, and am kicking myself that I didn't. Maybe it'll still be there when they reopen this fall.

I have the "complete" cd version too, but I find it's too much: false starts, chat, etc,. Plus the essays on the booklet aren't really much enlightening, so I got this one and I am going to sell the cd box set.

BTW the japanese vinyl is top notch in my copy, dead quiet like a cd.

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, I don't even have enough room for any more boxed sets, but this seems essential. The other Japanese Verve set I have, the Bird one, is dead silent indeed.

Yep, I couldn't live without this one, likewise I couldn't live without flowers, summer breeze, singing birds...

The BBC World Service also recently did a good Hazel Scott bio programme, which can be found via their Sounds app I think.

That Debut session with Mingus and Roach is excellent !

This should be included in the Debut/Mingus box set, am I right?

edit: just checked it out: yes.

Totally agree. It had been on my wishlist for a while and when a copy in the US popped up a couple weeks ago I jumped on it. Picked up Tatsuya Nakamura's Rip-Off too just because of combined shipping but haven spun it yet.

[clifford_thornton]

I haven't heard Rip-Off but it looks good; the previous couple of ensemble records are excellent.

[Gheorghe]

Today I was in the mood for that wonderful solo LP of Lee Konitz. Two extended versions of Bird associated songs. Really fine how Mr. Konitz works it out.  

[sidewinder]

Tone Poet version of ‘The Prisoner’. Lovely crisp sound, particularly Tootie Heath on drums - I’ll have to check against my Liberty but this will probably end up being the go-to version. 

[sidewinder]

Another winner in this series.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Spinning Pete LaRoca's "Basra" off the recently released 80th Anniversary LP. This is a very nice sounding LP. Kevin Gray seems to be able to coax the right sounds out of these master tapes. Side 1 actually has what looks like the right amount of dead wax too. Side 2 is back to the typical inch and half of dead wax though.
