brownie Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 That's a very good price for this excellent set. Very nicely packaged too. Another recommendation for that one! Quote
king ubu Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 Everybody who knows my tastes knows I'd love to grab this one - were it not for my dreaded buying freeze... I'm sure this is a great one, had it in my hands in stores several times. ubu Quote
king ubu Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 Garth, HUUUGE thanks! I listened to disc 1 this morning - terrific stuff! Urtreger sometimes, in his Bud-Powell-inflections, reminds me a bit of Sonny Clark (the Trio record with Chambers & Philly Joe) - he is not a very individual piano stylist, I think, but he is very very good. And Humair is smoking! Makes sense that his name is mentioned first, indeed! What a great drummer he was at age 22, already! Looking forward to hearing the 79 and 99 recordings! ubu Quote
king ubu Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 Listened to disc 2 (1979) - GREAT music! Really! Michelot is much more of a presence (also becasue of sound quality - on the 1960 date he often almost disappears). If anything, Urtreger is more his own man, and Humair even better (he is awesome today, but then, as I said, he was awesome already as a youngster in the 1950s). ubu Quote
king ubu Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 By the way, three posts up, when referring to disc 1 I meant disc 3, the 1960 date - I decided to listen to the music in the sequence it was recorded. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 16, 2004 Report Posted May 16, 2004 Looks like Paris Jazz Corner has just got the third disk of this one in on vinyl, as a limited edition. Quote
tjluke68 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Posted May 17, 2004 If anyone is interested, I have this 3 CD set and will part with it for $15 and ship it for free. I've been meaning to put it up on EBAY, but just haven't gotten around to it... I'm luke68 on ebay. Thanks, TL Quote
