Actually, King, I think that since you started the wayward threads, you can go back in and delete them without invoking the Fist.

Thanks, Dan, but I only see the Report, Quote and Edit buttons, no delete button in the first post of a thread... wrote Use3D a PM.

However, big sorry from this part. (when writing that PM, I got a message "Mail Error" when I mailed it, but being a little bit wiser, I did NOT re-send it again... We had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago, too, I seem to remember)

----

on topic:

I thought we could discuss this series in general - favorite reissues, recommendations etc, how we like them in general...

I have so far picked up most of the first two and the fourth batch, and all of the third. I plan to get as many of them as I can afford, but you know...

Some favorites so far are the Buddy De Franco Mr. Clarinet disc, the Herman, Gillespie and Ella (Whisper Not - love the title-track!) as well as the Brubeck/Desmond are very good ones, too. And as a sucker to Tormé I obviously like that one, too, and wait for the next to come soon. Then the Willie Bobo was a pleasant surprise for me. I like those lengthy jam tracks real good!

Now they could bring us all those Buddy De Franco albums with Sonny Clark, couldn't they?

My favorites of these are the Diz, Newman and of course the excellent Lateef, and there are others too, right, like the Kirk in Cophenhagen (essential!)? Are are these above, and others, not really part of the same series?

I believe this list is complete:

vervelpr

I need to pick up more of these before they inevitably begin drifting out of print. How's the Michael White, that's one I've been wondering about? And Al Grey (glad to see you mention it Lon)?

So far, my favorites are the Billy Mitchell, Getz (Cool Sounds), and Lateef (Psychiemotus)
