  1. that is nice to see again..cannot remember where or when I last saw that
  2. Not many over there actually seem to listen to the music... What has sound ever had to do with it?
  3. That is the problem with this reissue policy, and the agressive marketing of Steve "mr know it all" Hoffman and his distinguished colleagues. They will always tell you that this one is better than previous, ths state of the art, etc... buying every kind of reissue will eventually make you spend the equivalent of the price of the original. Yes I can just read the advertising blurb....whilst we have taken great care over these reissues, they are not as nice as the TOCJ releases nor are they as good as the LPs BUT they are better then a not having one b having a cd burn c a cassette recording So order now here:
  4. .... sounds like someone doesn't have a clue about beauty Try this music when you develop your tastes a little and have time to enjoy listening to what for me with Harold and Bobby n exquisite pairing. I saw this live material and pounced because of what I had already by the pair of them
  5. actually I had forgotten how good this set was as I had it out the other day listening to the Booker Ervin flavoured tracks...really good...it was always a shame that the 100% excellent were always gonna be 98% without the covers to see what they were like..despite the gorgeous booklets...I also loved the artwork and 12" colour copies would have made me 101% happy
  6. Yup picked one (japanese copy) up years ago when filling the Freddie Roach collection...got all of his cds now. check your pm
  7. thats the jobbie! Just been listening again to it ...I do like Bobby Hutcherson from this period and when he is with Harold Land...cool!
  8. I have three of the tracks of this session...dunno why not the forth Juan-les-Pins, 07/26/69 Same Shame (Bobby Hutcherson) 14:14 The Peace-Maker (Harold Land) 13:57 Spiral (Joe Chambers) 15:21 But I also have this : Bobby Hutcherson/Harold Land Quintet Hamburg, Germany, May 29, 1970 and August ??, 1969 1. Oleo 11:58 2. Four 10:39 (5/29/70) 3. Same Shame/Blow Up 35:58 4. Oleo 7:17 (8/??/69) Harold Land- tenor sax Bobby Hutcherson- vibraphone Hal Galper- piano Reggie Johnson- bass Joe Chambers- drums and also a file with Bobby Hutcherson and Harold Land Live in Sweden July 28th 1969 Man on Mercury Theme from Blow Up The Peace-Maker Total Eclipse The one I have from earlier is Bobby Hutcherson and Harold Land Live July 25, 1969 with : Bobby Hutcherson (vib), Harold Land (ts), Stanley Cowell (p), Reggie Johnson (b), Joe Chambers (d). Blow Up Herzog Maiden voyage Man On Mercury Spiral anyone else got stuff from then?
  9. and it is bloody fab and about time too! Really worth hunting down a copy in my humble opinion
  10. Here is Bertrand's post. I had to delete the thread to which he appended it because it was spamalicious: We need to make the entrance exam harder. Here are some possible questions: 1) Who wrote 'Jimerick' on the rejected 3/8/59 Art Blakey Blue Note session? 2) Who is the organist on Grant Green's 'Iron City'? 3) Who almost subbed for Lee Morgan on 'Evolution'? 4) Who wrote 'Off Spring' from 'Here's Lee Morgan' I think we should go back to having one of these per day ...just to keep the shrinking grey cells a little more alert!
  11. I liked the "scent free environment" plan Looks like ol' trumpet trousers here will get barred in the future parp
  12. I know...I remember being told about it and driving past thinking I ought to get out when I was going to a mates near Bodmin...it was the same for the House of Bruar up north on the A9...Never went back to either of 'em
  13. Ended up getting the Three Sounds as well as the Reuben Wilson and time must have mellowed me. I really enjoyed all of them.
  14. I thought the new stuff was better than the original lp if you want to try the last three tracks perhaps cliff englewood as they seem quite different and reminded me more of other Hutch dates As for the opinion of others or another or les autres...maybe others may confer or confirm or conform
  15. One word...WOW! I used to have Head On on Lp then burnt it and sold the lp when my lps went. This latest reissue is fantastic both for the original material but more so for teh extra 3 bonus tracks which are longer than the original LP...it is as the notes say like having a whole other new LP for free AND The bonus tracks are absolutely brilliant, really strong and how they never saw the light the first time around .......well I know why but they are very very good. Gradually picked the later BH material on CD to replace older Lps and they are really enjoyable I would recommend this cd to those who like Bobby H and need more and to make it even better it cost me 5 quid shipped and sealed!
  16. I have this and it is some parts good too.....good to hear BJP anyway...you got his other Muse work...hmmm mean streets no bridges etc?
  17. April...........that is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not fair
  18. they are up there a long time and the blood does thin somewhat
  19. that trovar site is a really neat little site Gradually over the last few years I have battled to try to find as many of the ECM titles as possible and I wish this Touchstones series had been around years ago. Same with other labels. Much nicer that not having it, much nicer than downloading it as well. As for bad packacing it stands to reason at the price. I wish a more sustainable option than jewel boxes had been pursued along way back. That way I could have snuck more cds on the same old shelves....as it was I tried getting cheap Japanese Blue Note Mini lps when I could to thin things out a little so I could get some more!...however that policy backfired when it was discovered to be a ruse to get more cds per shelf ECM have to move fast as there are many sites that offer most of their catalogue to download. This way and with the beautiful book they released earlier this year Horizons...I am still captivated
  20. Well of course it is down to whether you went to Oxford or Cambridge
  21. Seriously? That sh*t still happens in court? Anyway in jury matters in the UK we assume two principles 1 They (defendants) are always guilty if they make it to court (forgetting of course miscarriages of justice ) due to the sheer paper work now involved 2 The new UK gov principle adopted from the high street of Try one Let one free. We only have so many places in prison so we have to let someone out to let someone in....let too many people out and then the next trials all have to end in a custodial sentence or prison would have spaces, which would lead to cut backs, which would lead to strikes, which would lead to riots etcetc
