John Tapscott Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Shorty Rogers Volume 1:1946-1953 (JSP) Disc 1 & 2 Today; 3, 4 & 5 over the next couple of days. Prime stuff, always sounds fresh to my ears. Quote
crabgrass Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Live Trane - The European Tours I like this one almost as much as my collection of Mingus' European '64 Tour CDs... and I think Eric Dolphy has a LOT to do with my fondness for both. Quote
poetrylover3 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 John Coltrane Quartet: Ballads. From The Impulse Albums, Volume 1. This set always sends chills and raises the hairs on my neck. Nice remastering job. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Art Pepper 'Complete Village Vanguard' set, CD1. So nice to have all of the music from this 3-day engagement on one set. Good audio quality too ! I see from above posts that about half of the board membership took advantage of the Newbury deal. Edited February 25, 2008 by sidewinder Quote
GA Russell Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Stan Getz - the Roost box, disc 2 Quote

sidewinder Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Art Pepper 'Complete Village Vanguard Box' (Fantasy). Smokes from end to end ! Quote
HolyStitt Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Django on the Radio, JSP, disc 3 I have been wondering about this set but haven't been able to find any info on it. How is the sound quality and do you know in what way this material was ever issued previously? Quote
jazzbo Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 These are all radio broadcasts. I don't know of any other releases of this but i have NOT been a Django fanatic and big collector. I like him, a lot, I have a lot of the commercial releases, but nothing beyond that. The sound varies but is generally good to quite good. One session has a bit of distortion, from the source I'm sure. Otherwise the remastering by Ted Kendall is quite nice. And I really like the music. About 2/3 is Django plugged in, which I like a lot. Now listening to the last remaining unheard disc, the third of five. Quote
HolyStitt Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Thanks for the info! This quote has really made me interested in buying it: About 2/3 is Django plugged in, which I like a lot. I love his electric work on the CD Jazz in Paris: Nuits de Saint-Germain des-Prés. Quote
Tom 1960 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Disc 4 Contains the music from the albums "In Pursuit Of Blackness" and "Joe Henderson In Japan". Quote
Brad Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Horace Parlan. Haven't listened to in awhile. Big mistake Quote
captainwrong Posted March 14, 2008 Report Posted March 14, 2008 Just picked up the Art Pepper Village Vanguard set. Funny, I was thinking about checking some of this out on eMusic and then I stumble across a used copy at a price I couldn't refuse. (I figure if I decide this isn't my bag, I can get out of it what I paid and be happy.) Still, I just bought about 20 OJCs in a panic buying spree, so it may be a while before I get to this one. LOL Quote

Van Basten II Posted March 15, 2008 Report Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) After going through to the earlier sets where there was a lot of discovery and musical styles that i never paid much attention to, i'm now listening to artists that i'm way more familiar and accustomed to hear. I have a thing for well thought out compilations and this is one of them. There is something exciting when you see that the compiler has taken the time to carefully the pieces and put them together to make a grand ensemble. Listening pleasure guaranteed with entertaining pieces from the beginning to the end. A nice complement to the other great series Les Trésors du Jazz that i strongly recommend also.

king ubu Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 last night: parts of several discs of the Verve Bird box (the big one - starting from the earliest sessions, leaving out the JATP ones... the string dates are glorious!) now: just found this, for less than the prize of one new nice-prize-disc! just popped in disc one, swinging stuff indeed!
