7/4 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Sins of a guitarist: No Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, or Billy Bauer. Joe, you gotta fix that Jim Raney quick. No Kenny G. Yeah, I know.... Quote
birdanddizzy Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Sins of a guitarist: No Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, or Billy Bauer. Joe, you gotta fix that Jim Raney quick. Also, have a look to René Thomas... Quote
BruceH Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 No Keith Jarrett in my collection. But I don't consider this shameful or bewildering at all. That makes one of us! Of course, no Basie and 20+ Jarrett on my part might seem a bit odd. Just a bit. But to each his own. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Hardly any big band stuff, except I have quite a bit of Gil Evans, and I DO own the Gerald Wilson Mosaic ( ) (Which for me is really saying something, since for years the Gerald Wilson was the only non-BN Mosaic I owned -- well, other than the Woody Shaw). Quote
BruceH Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 No electric Miles. No Kenny G, either. Still no regrets. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 No Keith Jarrett in my collection. No Keith Jarrett for me either. (Like I said before, I don't own any "vocalist" leader dates.) Quote
Randy Twizzle Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 [Opening the Penguin Guide to a random page] No Viktoria Tolstoy, Tolvan Big Band, Alan Tomlinson or even Jim Tomlinson. Quote
md655321 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 How about this: I don't own a single Mosaic set. I figure thats the worst possible sin on this site. Quote
gdogus Posted March 26, 2006 Author Report Posted March 26, 2006 How about this: I don't own a single Mosaic set. I figure thats the worst possible sin on this site. I admit it - neither do I. Not a one. Â Quote
sal Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 No Coleman Hawkins or Lester Young as leaders. Quote
chris olivarez Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Sins of a guitarist: No Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, or Billy Bauer. I'm not a guitarist but I am guilty of the same sin. Quote
chris olivarez Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 How about this: I don't own a single Mosaic set. I figure thats the worst possible sin on this site. I admit it - neither do I. Not a one. Â I just have one and I would like to acquire more. Quote
chris olivarez Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 I could use more Basie and since Warne Marsh is spoken of in such glowing terms I need to check him out and I have practically no Ella Fitzgerald I need to correct that and since BMG is offering the humogous box set at an insanely low price I'm close to pulling the trigger on that one.

Aggie87 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Sins of a guitarist: No Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, or Billy Bauer. Joe, Caiman still has the Tal Farlow Mosaic set for $50.69. Can't beat that price for some great music! They're a reliable seller too. Edited March 26, 2006 by Aggie87 Quote
Guy Berger Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Only 14 Ellington discs, only 1 Basie, only 4 Charlie Parkers & 4 Dizzy Gillespies, aside from Chuck's box only 2 AEoCs, only 3 Cecil Taylors, only 1 Paul Bley, only 2 Lee Konitz. No Louis Armstrong, no Art Pepper, no Carla Bley. Aside from some Ellington almost no pre-bebop jazz. Guy Quote
Alexander Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Aside from a few tracks on compilations, I don't have any Fletcher Henderson (an omission I keep meaning to fix). I only have one Benny Carter disc. A small handful of Coleman Hawkins (five or six discs). Basically, any artist of whom I have fewer than ten discs, I feel like to I need to get more... Quote
Dave James Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Not that I don't like her, but I haven't a single Sarah Vaughn CD in my entire collection. Up over and out. Quote
Quincy Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Biggest sins (IMO) - no Jelly Roll Morton or Bessie Smith. Some others, certainly not all: Keith Jarrett, John Patton, Jack McDuff, Jimmy Raney, Artie Shaw, Mose Allison (outside of Who/Townshend covers ) Chico Hamilton, Cal Tjader, George Shearing, Hal Russell, Wadada Leo Smith. I know where to get the last 2. No Chu Berry but I'm eagerly awaiting the Mosaic. Quote
(BB) Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 More holes than money, sorry to say. Prez would have to be the most glaring omission at this point, as he influenced so many of the folks I really dig. Quote
BERIGAN Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 I have to say, I am shocked by what some of you all don't have!!!!! Quote
Joe G Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) Sins of a guitarist: No Tal Farlow, Jimmy Raney, or Billy Bauer. Joe, you gotta fix that Jim Raney quick. Actually, I just remembered that I do have one Raney disc. It's the play-along he did for Abersold. Unfortunately I lost the accompanying book long ago. Edit: I just did a google search on the phrase "abersold playalong", and first hit was: JustJazz Discussion List: RE: Jimmy Raney chords HELP!1 (Abersold ... Crazy! Edited March 26, 2006 by Joe G Quote
Noj Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) More holes than money, sorry to say. That about sums up my collection. My to-buy list is longer than my inventory. Much of the to-buy list are from Organissimo Blindfold Tests. Off the top of my head, some names on the list are: Horace Parlan Barry Harris Ornette Coleman Need some of those guitarists Joe mentioned, too! The most recent additions have included Ellington and Mingus, both of whom were glaring omissions from my collection for far too long. Still need more! I also have tons of single albums by giants such as Gil Evans. Need more Coltrane. Like Lon said though, there's still tons to discover! A non-jazz gap that has been irking me forever is the absense of any Steely Dan on my shelves. Edited March 26, 2006 by Noj Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 I may have some huge, gaping holes in my collection... But if nothing else, I do have a near complete Tyrone Washington collection (both as a leader and sideman). Quote
