Disc 1 of 4 - Ella Twelve Nights in Hollywood...

:wub: :wub: :wub:

I LOVE the packaging!!! Music is pretty damn good too... :)

The packaging impressed me quite a bit as well. On the downside, the set is sized like a book and will have to be stored with the hardcovers instead of the cd boxed sets.

Upcoming sets from Hip-o-Select:

Clifford Brown

Nat King Cole

"Tribute to Thelonious"

No F***king way... What's the Clifford and Cole about? Where'd you get the info? Previously unreleased material???? :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited:

Got the info off the Hoffman board. The Clifford will probably be a rehash of a subset of the Emarcy box from the 90s. The Cole will probably be the Deccas with maybe some Granz JATP stuff thrown in. The "Tribute to Thelonious" was a 2 lp set with various artists paying tribute to the music of T Monk. Verve had mentioned wanting to release this a few years ago, but never got around to it. Hip-o-Select, btw, is a UMG owned company., so I assume any music they release would have to come from under the UMG umbrella.

The "Kirk in Copenhagen" session from the Roland Kirk Mercury box set. I'm trying to come down after a gig, and I'm not sure why I picked this. It's fabulous, but maybe I would be better served by some Paul Desmond right now.

But Kirk and Tete Montoliu sure sound good!

Stan Getz-Kenny Barron 'People Time' (Universal/EmArcy), disc 2

Is this box an lp sized box similar to the Chet Baker Barclay one that was released a couple of years ago? How is the previously unreleased music?

It's a Mosaic Select size box.

The previously unreleased music is plain magnificent!

So is the sound (except for the final track 'Night and Day' which is added as a bonus and was taped during a soundcheck on opening night).

A splendid testimony to both men's music.

Thanks for the info. Between you and JohnETman, I ended up ordering this and the Ella "Twelve Nights" from amazon.fr Both sets shipped for 101 dollars. . . . Not bad.

The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve - disc 4, with the first "Bird With Strings" session and the Bird & Diz session.

When I was about 16, I was listening to my old "Bird & Diz" album in the living room when my mom walked through carrying a basket full of laundry. She paused and listened for a few seconds, then said, "That drummer doesn't really fit in with the rest of them, does he?"

How hip was my mom?

I made a comment like that to my old departed friend Don DeMichael. He was horrified. I will never forget that reaction from one of my early "gods".

Very! I'm impressed.
