The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 All day I've been deeply into Louis Armstrong - The OkeH Columbia & RCA Victor recordings 1925-1933 - Sony Legacy Which my wife got me for Christmas, but there wasn't time to start listening to yesterday, after the family had gone home. Zounds! I'm really impressed hard with his OkeH big band sides, which I've never heard before. The band then was completely, insanely abandoned. On Victor and Decca, they'd been tamed. Now just finishing disc 10 (Victor alternative takes). Lovely stuff! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Vandermark 5: Alchemia (Discs 1-3 so far, with #3 spinning now) It has been awhile since I've pulled this one out. I had forgotten how good it really is. It has a tremendous mix of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Miles Davis - Dig, from the Complete Prestige box. I don't listen to this session often, because everyone involved did better later. But I'm enjoying it quite a bit tonight - the musicians were mostly at the top of their 1951 game.

Steve Reynolds Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Finished the Resonance 10 CD box - now on to the DKV Trio 7 CD NotTwo box - currently on CD #2. CD # 2 is spectacular, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 John Coltrane - Live Trane: The European Tours (Pablo), disc seven. There has been some dissatisfaction expressed here with this set, but I would not willingly part with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 disc 5 again - the quartet date with Raymond Fol - beautiful stuff, too bad the final tape reel (on it two more complete takes of "Everything Happens to Me" as well as the lost "What Is There to Say" in one complete take) is missing!

king ubu Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Very nice one indeed! Too bad there never was a second volume ... I didn't manage to snatch up a few Fantasy discs containing some more Nocturne material while they were easy to find ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesnik Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Yes, I don't know what happened to vols.2 and 3. They were planned but never materialized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think I read (somewhere here, where else) that Vol. 1 didn't sell well enough so the follow-up(s) were shelved. There were to be two more? That much more material? What a missed opportunity! Guess people prefer to buy the seventeenth reissue of some Miles or BN classic before trying Steve White. Maybe they're right, what do I know ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesnik Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) I also thought that they didn't sell well enough. Just my imagination. And about the three volumes which were planned and at least announced I guess I deduced that of the booklet. But it would have been a lot of material. For me a 3 CD-box is enough, but it's a pity for all the material that could have been reissued. And I think this Harry Babasin-Roy Harte run label only operated for about two years: from 54 to 56.

jeffcrom Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Charlie Parker - Complete Dial Sessions (Stash). The Earl Coleman/Erroll Garner session from disc two. Might just let the disc keep playing and listen to the "Relaxin' at Camarillo" session as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
