brownie Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Unfortubately, that seems to be the case for most of the cd's of this serie I own : average program time is around 35 minutes....Not really a bargain Same for some of mine. But there are many over 50 minutes! And at the 6-7 € range, I can afford them Checked on some of the Jazz in Paris volumes I have. It's true that some are short (many have 12inch LP length of about 40 minutes since many in the series are LP reissues with no added material) but: - vol. 6 Buck Clayton/Peanuts Holland/Charlie Singleton runs 63m53, - vol. 8 Chet Baker 'Broken Wing' runs 61m38, - vol. 38 Earl Hines 'Paris One Night Stand' runs 53m09, - vol. 52 Dizzy Gillespie 'Cognac Blues' runs 71m40, - vol. 54 'Clarinettes a St-Germain des Pres' runs 77m50, - vol. 65 Bernard Peiffer 'La Vie en Rose' runs 65m16, - vol. 99 'Harlem Piano in Montmartre' runs 67m23, - vol. 100 'Jazz Sous l'Occupation' runs 61m14, - vol. 101 Joe Newman/Cootie Williams 'Jazz at Midnight' runs 67m34 Not that bad overall.

brownie Posted December 7, 2004 Report Posted December 7, 2004 New boxes from the Jazz in Paris series are out this week. Details are listed at the Universal France site. It's all in French http://www.universalmusic.fr/servlet/Front...tiste_id=103874 The four DeLuxe editions boxes look great. They are Mosaic sized. Also noticed that the From Belgium With Love 5CD box includes four previously released CDs from the series (Bobby Jaspar, Toots Thielemans, Rene Thomas, Gus Viseur) plus a Django Reinhardt disc (Jazz in Paris 102) that incorporates material that was not included in the previous Reinhardt from the series.

Brownie, thanks for posting this ... this series has always interested me, and I have picked up about sixty of them over the last few years.. I resisted buying the two "big boxes" that were once on sale ... Do you know what ever happened to the EMI series "Americans Swinging in Paris" ... I have about half of the original series; has any more been issued? Garth. Edited December 8, 2004 by garthsj Quote

Brownie: My French is so rusty. Maybe you can enlighten me (us). These box sets are pulled from the material in the enormous Jazz in Paris sets, or this is something not released as part of those 101 CDs? How does the Belgium set fit in -- Belgian artists but recorded in Paris, aside from the additional Django material? Thanks. Eric Quote

How does the Belgium set fit in -- Belgian artists but recorded in Paris, aside from the additional Django material? Thanks. Eric I had a quick look at the four boxes. They look beautiful but they seem to include only a few tracks which were not in the previous CDs. As for the Belgian box, only the Django Reinhardt is a new reissue. Which is why it bears the Jazz in Paris nr. 102 number. The other four CDs (Bobby Jaspar, Rene Thomas, Gus Viseur, Toots Thielemans) have been released as part of the earlier Jazz in Paris issues.

etherbored Posted December 10, 2004 Report Posted December 10, 2004 i picked up 2 tasty titles to augment the box set recently: blossom dearie - the pianist / les blue stars (#94) max roach - parsian sketches (96) both are readily available and are highly recommended! -e- Quote

I haven't found any in the US, though some people may have seen them in NY or SF. I imported a set off amazon.fr, and it took forever, but it made it. If you sprung for the first (bigger) box, you might want to look into this too. Among other great material, there's a good Don Byas disc (78), Guy Viseur (88), Jazz and Cinema #4 (98), Jazz under the Occupation (really interesting) (100) and Joe Newman and Cootie Williams (101).

etherbored Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 a second box... where have i been? mercy! thanks, -e- Quote
jazzbo Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 (edited) Been listening to the "Nuits de Saint-Germain-des-Pres" Django item in the series. If only Django had lived on into the following decades! There are elements in his playing here that I think would have really blossomed and maybe paved a different path for the guitar. He seemed to be really moving towards an exploration of the sound of the electric guitar in his own way. . . . Edited December 29, 2004 by jazzbo Quote
ghost of miles Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 Still waiting to get the first of three orders that I placed from the Bastards. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I got the SECOND one a few days ago. .. . Quote
ghost of miles Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I got the SECOND one a few days ago. .. . It's probably because I noticed the sale several days after you did, used media mail, and live in a region that just got hit with a foot of snow! Quote
jazzbo Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 (edited) I used Media Mail too, and the covered wagons are moving very slowly this holiday season. . . . I should point out what I meant to say was I got my SECOND order but not my first yet; I ordered the second a day or so after the first! Edited December 29, 2004 by jazzbo Quote

I should point out what I meant to say was I got my SECOND order but not my first yet; I ordered the second a day or so after the first! Ah, I see... that is odd. Well, the mail really has gotten screwed up in the midwest this past weekend from what I understand, owing to the double-whammy of the weather and the holiday. After visiting the DG site several times I finally developed an admirable sense of restraint and stopped myself... besides, I'd ordered damn near every JIP already anyway! Quote

He seemed to be really moving towards an exploration of the sound of the electric guitar in his own way. . . . I have this one on now. Having gotten the Mosaic for Christmas, I can say this isn't the Hot Club! Fascinating to hear him with this line up playing electric. I'm so happy I put in a 2nd order, which will likely arrive tomorrow. Hmmm, is the sale still on? I so love the cover photography I think I'd buy these even if the music wasn't first rate. Luckily that's not the case. It's been a happy ear-opening experience. Quote
garthsj Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I have a pet peeve about this series! I have so many of these JIP CDs myself.. but it always bugs me about the cover art. Who are all of these people just sitting around at outdoor cafés? Don't they have jobs? Don't they spend time at home with their families? Watch television, listen to the radio, go to movies? Is the weather always THAT perfect so that they can just sit around all day and night drinking and smoking awful Turkish tobacco French cigarettes? It really gets to me that these people are so damned decadent. Whatever happened to the good old "work ethic"? No wonder our president has turned his back on them ... good thing too! Garth, working his butt off! This man is responsible for starting it all .... Quote

Garth, working his butt off! This man is responsible for starting it all .... The nostalgia of it all! I rate myself immensely lucky to have been raised in Paris at the time those beautiful black and white photos were taken! TV was an almost unkown commodity then, internet was not even on the horizon. The bad memories - and the ruins - of the war years were disappearing enabling people to really enjoy the city by the fifties. Also having a drink at the cafes did not cost the small fortune it does now. And you could find yourself sitting right next to Sartre and/or Beauvoir, or Alberto Giacometti, or Dexter Gordon! Half a century later, the city has changed but is still magically beautiful. Jazz is less prominent, And the weather happens to be pretty tame most of the time and very beautiful on a lot of days B-) Also we French people still know how to appreciate the good things in life and its qualities even if this sounds 'decadent' nowadays! Whoever selected the photos that adorn the covers did a great job! The cover you posted shows the rearend of a Renault QuatreChevaux, my older brother's first car. He bought an aged secondhand model (which still was costing a small fortune) and I dug the rides we took in that smelly car! But any cover from the JIP albums bring more memories of those glorious days! Wish I was half a century younger and back in the Paris of those days... Edited December 30, 2004 by brownie Quote
alankin Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 Those photos all make me want to take a trip to Paris on the way-back machine! Quote
ejp626 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 You and me both. While it would have been nice to have more of the original covers tucked away inside the liners, the photos are really amazing and quite a nice bonus feature of this series. Quote
Brad Posted December 31, 2004 Report Posted December 31, 2004 My thoughts exactly. Brings me back to my time there. You can really get into those photos. Quote
king ubu Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Posted March 16, 2005 Got two batches of these, coming 13 closer to 101 The only ones I have in full listened to, so far are the Gus Viseur and Gérard Badini (indeed mighty fine Sam Woodyard there - mikeweil: you're reading this? Get it!). The Urtreger plays Powell served as background music last weekend, so I didn't get to really listen yet. the others I picked: - Jazz et cinéma vol. 4 - Modern Jazz à Saint-Germain-des-Prés - Danse à Saint-Germain-des-Prés - both Peiffers - Michel Legrand: Paris Jazz Piano - Grappelli: Django - Porgy & Bess (strange but good) - Rhoda Scott: at the olympia - Jack Dieval: Jazz aux Champs-Elysées So I'm needing some advice on the ones I haven't gotten yet... next post for that. ubu Quote
king ubu Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Posted March 16, 2005 01 Louis Armstrong the best live concert vol. 1 02 Louis Armstrong the best live concert vol. 2 03 Miles Davis ascenseur pour l’echafaud 06 Holland/Clayton/Singleton club Session 15 Elek Bacsik guitar conceptions 17 Toots Thielemans blues pour flirter 19 Henri Salvador pardon my english – plays the blues 20 Various Chanteurs/Chanteuses 22 Sidney Bechet/Claude Luter self-titled 30 Oscar Peterson featuring Stéphane Grappelli Volume 1 31 Oscar Peterson featuring Stéphane Grappelli Volume 2 33 Claude Bolling plays the original piano greats 36 Memphis Slim & Willie Dixon aux trios mailletz 46 Lionel Hampton ring dem vibes 47 Various classic jazz à saint-germain-des-prés 54 Various clarinettes à saint-germain-des-prés 61 Art Simmons/Ronnell Bright piano aux champs-elysées 66 Raymond Fol les 4 saisons 68 Lionel Hampton mai 1956 74 Alain Goraguer go-go-goraguer 77 Lester Young Le dernier message 80 Henri Criolla begin the beguine 81 Elek Bacsik nuages 83 Sarah Vaughan & violins 89 Henri Crolla quand refleuriront les lilas blancs? 94 Blossom Dearie the pianist Les Blue Stars 95 Sammy Price/Price & Doc Cheatham play gershwin 96 Max Roach parisian sketches 99 Various harlem piano in montmartre 100 Various jazz sous l’occupation Alright, above are the ones I'm still missing. I won't get the Roach (as I will have to get that Mosaic), the Young (as I have it as part of the Verve box) and the Ascenseur (as it missed the bonus tracks - I will have to replace my late eighties copy, though, with the new one). I don't know Bacsik at all, don't know if I need more than the one Crolla I have (the one dedicated to Django), and I'm also hesitant on the two Armstrongs, the two Petersons with Grappelli, and several of the old-school ones. Then, the chanteuses disc I never saw. Oh, and before I forget: main reason I'm picking these up again is because there's a nice sale going on in Zurich (the prize, though, is about as good as it would be from French Amazon including postage cost, so not such a great sale, but still I prefer picking them up in a store when I have the possibility and don't loose more money on it that I would, ordering on the net). What do you think? EKE, step in and tell me all those old-school ones are great... (hey, I do have the Willie "Lion" Smith, at least). ubu Quote
