    New Miles Box?

    Right, thanks - that's what I was tying to express. Just a sense that it would be nice to have all of the quintet material together.

    New Miles Box?

    I think the Prestige 'Round Midnight is a different recording and was originally released with most of the December '24 '55 session with Monk. I presume that it will be included in this box set. (It would be cetainly be incomplete otherwise.) Sorry, I mis-spoke - the Columbia 'Round ABOUT Midnight was recorded at different sessions (Oct. 1955 and June 1956) than Cookin', Relaxin', etc. (May 1956 and October 1956). I suppose the intent of the box is to tell the story of the May and October 1956 sessions, but it's a shame that the 'Round About Midnight sessions can't be included. One of them took place between the May and October 1956 sessions, after all...
  3. What jazz do you have and like?
  4. OK, now you've done it, Mister Threadkill.
  5. Ah, well - Mozart's very cool, deserves his day (or year), and is moving to me on any given day...and not, on any other given day... Like a lot of others.

    New Miles Box?

    I've long thought this group of recordings needed a good remastering/lavish box treatment, but without 'Round Midnight - which was culled from the same set of sessions but offered to Columbia as Miles's first recording for that label - the story of this quintet will be incomplete.
  7. All very different, of course, and all astonishing (as musicians and as omissions). Compensatory confession: I have no Jackie McLean.
  8. I admit it - neither do I. Not a one.
  9. PROUD?!? This is no place for pride, mister. This is a place of shame. No Basie, you say?
  10. You can't lord it over the rest of us like that, GK, strutting around the thread with your fancy-pants "very little" this and that. Surely there is some jazz giant by whom you have nothing?? CONFESS!!
  11. So, time to 'fess up - which major jazz artists are completely unrepresented (as leaders, let's say) in your music library? I mean, you have not a single disc by that jazz giant, and find it bewildering and shameful. I'll go first, tremble though I must, and admit that I have no recordings by Ornette Coleman. None. Zilch. I don't know why. Don't leave me hanging out here lookin' the fool all by myself - CONFESS!
  12. I've been enjoying Lady Day: The Best of Billie Holiday, a two-disc cherry-picking of the 10-disc complete Columbia box. I actually don't know her Verve material much at all. Hmmm...
  13. "wind" with a short "i" (like what you do to a watch) or with a long"i" (like moving air)? I think you've got those backwards... Quite right. Reverse that.
  14. "wind" with a short "i" (like what you do to a watch) or with a long"i" (like moving air)?
  15. At one time, they were widely referred to as "the only band that matters." And the wide referrers were right.
  16. $25 donation made, Jim, via Paypal. Rooster and the others are exactly right - don't delete the thread. We need to be reminded.

    Gotcha. I haven't heard the album - just trying to get a sense, since I dig Allison and Wilson a lot.

    Ah. Well then - that's much clearer.

    So you knew someone was going to ask - what kind of trumpet is that, exactly?
  20. Off topic and forgive the grumbling, but I still can't believe that Chattanooga, Tennessee, birthplace of Bessie Smith, Jimmy Blanton, and Yusef Lateef, doesn't have a single dedicated jazz club. But here I sit.
  21. What kind of pricing do you have in mind, felser?
  22. • What are you listening to? • What music did you buy? • All Things Emusic • Yourmusic.com • Dark Star - Grateful Dead I also check in often in the Album of the Week forum, just to see if I can add anything...which isn't all that often.
  23. Just received from yourmusic: Moussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition • Byron Janis (piano), coupled with Ravel's orchestral arrangement by Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra/Antal Dorati (Mercury SACD) Strangely, the disc itself is labeled as containing cello concertos by Schuman, Lalo, and Saint-Saens...though the music is definitely the Moussorgsky.
