Does that qualify as a "great find?" After listening to Warne Marsh's All Music recently, and some Art Pepper, I got out a recent E-Bay purchase: a 1972 Contemporary issue of 1956 sessions with Marsh and Pepper. It's called Art Pepper...the way it was. This is the first time I've heard it. Nice stuff.

Nope. Lonnie Smith may play some on his own tours, but I doubt Lou will. I like the new Lonnie Smith Beck album though.

I agree with Paul. I buy vinyl unless it's digitally remastered. I haven't posted in this thread that much, because I haven't bought that many re-issues. Most of what I have bought have been the Classic Records and Analogue Productions issues, and I've really liked most of them. I think the best re-issue that I have ever heard was the Miles Davis Prestige box by Analogue productions, but it's out of print. Wonderful sound and all the original packaging. I haven't bought any OJCs recently -- I used to wait for the August sale at Mosaic in order to get them for $5 each with the discount. I'm thinking of taking the plunge for a few of the Classic Records classical music re-issues, like that Janos Starker you guys were raving about, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I almost voted for One Flight Up as well, but voted for Go!. I love both.

I've heard folks praise this guy, and I can certainly second that this seller is first rate. It's no wonder that his auctions go for high dollars. I won the Herbie Nichols Mosaic from him, and it was in perfect shape and so well packaged it could have been a shipment of fine glass.

Martha's too busy trying to stay out of jail. Maybe if she prays real hard...

Today I got a copy of Art Pepper's So In Love on Artists House records. I haven't put it on yet, but it looks mint. Comes with an insert with some nice pics, a bio and an LP "discography" that lists all the Lps he has appeared on (doesn't list tunes or other players though). $10

Thanks Mike. I will check that out.

Thanks to all of you for posting all of this.

When I first read this, I thought "He can't be serious." But the more I thought about it the more it makes sense in our quick-fix, instant-gratification, throwaway culture.

Chuck Nessa wrote: I'm one who would be the target audience for a book like this, because the more I listen to this type of music the more I want to find out about it. And I definitely don't want to be one of those 'slackers" Chuck talks about . But, relative to this book and it's price at least, I may have to be a while longer. I'd like to see the reviews and better understand its flaws. For example, I wonder what this guy wrote about The Art Ensemble, not having talked to Chuck. I recently read "Black Nationalism and the Revolution in Music" by Frank Kofsky, and I think we could definitely use more and better books (maybe this is one) that put this movement as a whole in context and highlight its key figures. I came away from the Kofsky book, for example, dying to hear more Bill Dixon and learn more about him. If this book can accomplish giving the reader a solid reference for this music, I will probably buy it, although I'll probably wait a while and look for it used at Powell's or something.

Tonight is "50s night" I guess (with 60s pressings): Miles Davis and the Modern Jazz Giants Blue label Prestige, mono I love the version of "Bemsha Swing" on this. John Coltrane Coltrane Prestige. Also blue label mono. Jay Jay Johnson Volume 2 Liberty, mono

Yep, it was on Turner. I watched the end of Rear Window then the one after it, although I missed the beginning and didn't see the name. He was a clerk in a store and had a letter-writing romance with a woman. He later found out who she was and it was one of the women he worked with. It was also a Christmas movie so there was lenty of good feeling all around. Stewart was very young in it. The film was Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner. I started watching it after watching Rear Window, and fell asleep about a half an hour into it. I have to try and get younger so I can stay up. Thanks!

Bought an LP at the Georgetown Flea Market today. $8 Clifford Brown and Max Roach at Basin Street A deep groove Emarcy/Mercury that plays realley well considering its appearance. It has Sonny Rollins also.

Never heard one of those Weizen. Sounds like a mixed bag sound-wise. Tonight I soent most of the time watching a Jimmy Stewart movie so not too much listening. But I've had on: James Moody Last Train From Overbrook on Argo Dewey Redman Musics on Galaxy. Nice version of "Alone Again (Naturally)" on here.

Hello afj67, I did a quick search over at the vinyl asylum and found the following thread on Period records. Period Records Information From Vinyl Asylum It seems like most recordings on Period Records weren't of the highest technical quality. However, that being said it sounds like anything by Janos Starker on this label is worth getting. Currently listening to Bill Evans Trio: Bill Evans at Town Hall...Volume One Alejandro Thanks! I appreciate it!

Teddy Wilson Trio Revisits The Goodman Years 1980, with Jesper Lundgaard (b) and Ed Thigpen (d). Storyville Records.

I'm another BNBB refugee, although I hadn't been going there for too long. This is much better. No corporate b.s., just some cool guys with a cool band who let us all hang out.

Do you guys know anything about this Starker or this one? I've never heard of Period Records.

I'm jealous. Is it one of the best reissues you've heard? This Starker just went on E-Bay today

Not sure about Wallace Roney. I've liked some of his albums. But, I saw him live at Blues Alley a while back, and he totally phoned it in. Couldn't get off the stage fast enough and played with absolutely no heart. I realize that could be for any number of reasons, but i've never really been able to listen to him the same after that. He did some nice things on that last Miles Davis live album with Quincy Jones.

Tonight is: Pharoah Sanders Tauhid Impulse Archie Shepp/Bill Dixon Consequences BYG Dewey Redman Coincide ABC Impulse

Thanks for choosing this. I haven't heard it and don't know anything about Fontana, and appreciate your comments about him and the recording. I'll look for this (or else send Chuck some more $$ ).

Thanks for the pics! Nice job.
