I know. Almost as if people who are interested in Les McCann are supposed to access his music in some other way. They charge an outrageous 60 pence per album and that's how they treat the people who wouldn't buy it anyway, even if it DID contain Les McCann. Still, I guess its just another Porsche in the garage to these euro-crooks (or another villa in Spain - while dead musicians starve!). Les lives! (Well, I think so.) Actually, I'd buy it if there were some McCann in it. I bought the execrable and pretentious (in my view) Joe Pass Mosaic, just for the two Les McCann albums included. MG pretentious? how so....?

i'm right behind you on 'matador'. now's the time i need to sort out the sonny clark titles as well. i have 'quintets', 'the 45 sessions' and 'blues in the night' but always stayed away from the north american issue of 'my conception'. it seems this reissue of the 'original' is lacking some titles by comparison, right....?

yeah, but do you have the (non-rvg, non-shm, japanese) 24 bit from a few years ago....?

ha - me, too! one of my very favorites...

high praise indeed, however, how about catholocism or maybe judaism? in any case, i'm off to seek out some 'cole slaw' to accompany my barbeque...

didn't stop them with the 3 disc chet baker set (although that has been some years ago)...

wow. i''m in, too.

'cole slaw' is one from this period I've never heard. how's it?

you can hear the merits or quality of a remaster via streaming in spotify..............?

what they said.

i think philly joe may have been more appropriate to the personnel...

oddly, that's a date i've never warmed to for whatever reason. something seems off about it to my ears. that having been said, though, i'm obviously going to the wrong yard sales...

i agree - i notice it as well... (another patient for the placebo?)

it all started a few years ago (i.e., the first one i saw) with an uber deluxe reissue of isao suzuki's masterpiece, 'blow up'...

there's a disk union in stockholm.....?

these are in my 'jazz in paris' monolith. i'll need to excavate them for reevaluation. i'm in a blakey mode as of late...

andra is NOT to be missed....

..........really?

forgive me for noting title only... 1. 'three trumpets' 2. 'quiet kenny' 3. 'mobley's 2nd message' 4. 'the young bloods' (!) 5. monk's 'quintets' 6. '2 trumpets' 7. 'hi fi party' 8. 'hope meets foster' 9. 'wail moody wail' 10. 'fountainbleu' 11. 'primitive modern' 12. 'pairing off' 13. 'outward bound' 14. 'the new york scene' 15. 'coolin'" thoughts/suggestions/opinions?

i gave 'bird feathers' no fewer than four listenings over the weekend. i was stunned with how clear and present the mastering is, and very quiet. this title receives my highest recommendation. although it's what some may describe as "your typical blowing session", it's well assembled and seems to coalesce better than most. i can only hope that the remainder of the titles are this good. i'm placing an order of 15 other titles in the series today... (including the aforementioned dolphy title discussed some time ago)

i recently received 'bird feathers' but haven't listened yet... a large order pends on how this goes, but i'm hoping for good things. this is a catalog that has been reissued and reissued many times over in japan and the prior titles i have, such as the DSD mini lp's that alexandros refers to above, have all been varying degrees of excellent.

they carefully tread through those waters previously, so i don't see it happening. however, does anyone ever see anything coming on this show...?

a: happy (belated) birthday, jim! b: WOW! for living outside of north america, that is a *very* timely reference, erwbol!
