Sorry, misread @jazzbo ... but still missed the info on that bonus track (got one each of the Shorters and Larry Youngs in the LT series)

A shame indeed!

Thanks, that had escaped me! Got some of those expanded SHM reissues, but none by Mobley.

So that's a bonus track that was not on the Conn CD?

I saw Frith in the living room of a friend, about two years ago, in duo with Hans Koch - that was amazing! Had to buy their Intakt disc after that but still haven't listened to it thoroughly ...

so Mingus stole Coles' trumpet, thinking he was dead and he could sell it later on?

Used to be that a 5-10 minute wait would omit posts being merged ... no intervening posts needed. If that's the case now, that's relatively new.

Regarding recent Intakt releases, I'm not looking forward that much to explore the two latest subscription discs I'm afraid (Yves Theiler Trio and Aki Takase sol), but I bought this one by Fred Frith with a variety of collaborators, reviews were most favourable, looking forward to checking it out: http://www.intaktrec.ch/320-a.htm

- I like it!

The notification using the @-sign didn't work - it only works if/when you pick the username from the list that will load while typing (for some reasons, that list will not always load). It's convenient in cases where you don't have a post to quote (or don't want to quote).

Thanks @Dan Gould

Any News? August came and went, and another August is coming up pretty soon ...

Thought so too, but there's a regular way to find it: use the "True Blue Music" header in the horizontal top menu and it will get you to the relevant listing ... they are not treating it as their own reissue (which I guess it isnt?) My parcel (two copies) is finally on the way, it took three orders, the first two were cancelled and my card temporarily blocked by the bank -- no idea what triggered that, maybe "All Stars" is code for terrorist group nowadays?

... and sometimes they just add a second OBI on top (I think there was only one shrinkwrap in the one case I've seen/bought, so really just two OBIs on top of eacht other)

The Ampex is the one that was reissued as "Blues in Orbit" on Enja later, right? "Black Saint" and "In Europe" are still avalable in their most recent Japanese incarnations (which I bought a while ago): http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/CDSOL-45010 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UVJZ-10168

Totally. This has just landed on my pile of yet-to-be-read books: I've made my escape from that part of the working world into administration and (not sure merikins can believe that) I'm very happy about this change ... also landed in semi-academia, so to speak, and on top of it all, I even get better pay. Just think about the potential savings that could be made in corporate communism (it's the US after all that has made communism work, ain't it funny? ) if all of those big-shots got fired and the actual skills of people and their ability to organise would be relied on?

my copy has shipped a few days ago, but I'll be on vacation from tomorrow, so I'll have to wait ...

Thanks for the alert @Chuck Nessa - will certainly be buying this!

Thanks again, everyone!

Thanks everyone! @brownieDevastating images from Notre Dame! I was fascinated by this (panoramic pictures taken from the roof, pre-fire of course), just shared elsewhere: https://www.martinloyer.fr/gigapixels-360/NotreDame/

Thanks Dan! I'm not around here often enough to catch b-days myself these days, so you have me blushing

Either way, Trane may have had a sweet tooth, but was he big? Tall, maybe ...

just pre-ordered, and could throw in the Sheila Jordan, I guess it ought to be some kind of upgrade over the late 80s US reissue

That way of programming is not something I appreciate a lot, but with CDs if you want it's pretty easy to skip ... are the takes in session order, or did BN by that time still not properly assign take numbers and nobody quite knows the correct sequence?

The Young is most welcome ... I guess I'll get the JOS and Poppa Lou as well (missed the Mosaic and it wasn't important enough to hunt down after it had pulled its disappearing act)
