... so as far as I can tell, the Jazzland LPs Southern Horizons and Free Form were never reissued on CD by Fantasy? Strikes me as odd, because IMO there was already a revival of interest in Harriott by the mid-to-late 1990s, when Fantasy was reissuing so much of the label catalogue under their purview, and they could have paired these albums together on one CD, as they did for so many other artists. 

Might be because these were originally Lansdowne Series productions from the UK with Jazzland given US rights at time of original issue. Lansdowne Series ownership went to Universal.

Great, I have them all. The first one, is that live (I only know the Milestones double album "Fats Navarro with the Dameron Band")? And I have a Musidisc "Tadd Dameron-Fats Navarro" mistitled "Birdland 1949" (actually "Royal Roost 1948). And of course the studio stuff , All the Savoy and BN Material. 

From the 1956 records I love most "Matin Call". 

The last thing "Magic Touch" , I have some difficulties with it. IMHO it´s more "smooth" than the great Dameron of the 40´s , and I really miss Dameron´s piano. He had that special style of his own, but I think that at that time (60´s) he was already so ill he couldnt finger the piano anymore, like Mingus on "Me Myself an Eye" where he couldn´t play bass anymore).

I don't believe so, not on the BC page at least.

Its a nice document, not the greatest SQ, bit boxy

Disc 7 of the UHQCD version of this set from Japan.

The George Adams / Don Pullen Quartet - Live at the Village Vanguard Vol. 2 (Soul Note, 1983)

 Andre Hodair - American Jazzmen Play Andre Hodeir's Essais (Savoy, 1953)

Looking at Discogs, I'm surprised at the very low price for which this one goes. Most of the records that were referred to in the recent European jazz modernism thread seem to go for inflated values (possibly due to be highly prized rarities in the Japanese market, as someone noted on that thread). This one goes for £3.

No. It's a "special" on bandcamp only, like the Dewey Redman thing from the same source. Approved by Billy.

Not expensive though, good recording and as you can expect, everybody plays well. It's Billy!

Ella Fitzgerald "The Lost Berlin Tapes" Verve cd, recorded in Berlin, 1962 but not released til last year.

This is helping put some pep in my step. I lost a few hours of sleep this morning due to one of the heaviest rain storms I ever remember here in Ohio and an anxious wife and dachshund in the middle of the night. But despite high winds there's no damage to the property or cars and we didn't even lose power, which is unusual for this type of storm--usually a tree or tree limb in this forested area takes down a power line.

Ella is so chipper and energetic and amused and amusing that I am getting some energy back for a spell.

Going way back. . . Duke Ellington "Vol. 3 1926-1927" Masters of Jazz cd

I like this series as the transfers are very good with minimal processing, and things are in chronological order which in Ellington's case usually means a handful of labels each disc.

Ellington of any period is interesting to me. I've stayed away from the earliest period for too long. . . I'll make up for that.

Charlie Parker "The Birth of the Bebop--Celebrating Bird at 100--Rediscovered sides from the Dial Recordings"

I usually reach for Savoy sides with Bird because those were where I first encountered him and I love the sound of the discs I have but today the Dial called out to me. . . . Great music on both labels!
