It also took forever to come out. I placed a preorder as soon as it was announced, and, IIRC it took about a year (or more?) to actually be released. For such great, seminal (albeit in slow motion) music, Columbia has been stingy with it.

not jazz Disc Two

DubModal, you are right on Billy Bang, Mingus and Charlie Haden, none of the other names match up. 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 10 and 11 are identified so far by artist and title.

In any case, I believe that many of us have the set, and at least I haven't found a defect in any of the discs. FWIW, Discogs is listing SID code variations, indicating that there was a repress of the 1995 set. An interesting sidenote is that mould SID codes were introduced in 1994~1996. This means that discs that lack such SID codes were produced no later than 1996-ish, unless there has been a one-off mistake (or they are counterfeit). But looking at these SID code variants, it appears that all discs within the set have one variation without SID code (presumably the initial pressing) *except* discs 4 and 5. This suggests that these two discs were pressed in a separate run (while it might still have been as early as 1995).

So if we order this from Bandcamp do we have to pay tariffs on it? And is there a delay because of that?

Charles Lloyd: Lift Every Voice. ECM Records ECM 1832/33. [Germany 2002]

I do love Lester with John Lewis.

The set came out in 1995. I have a really good memory and I don't believe this idea of a defective disc was discussed on the Blue Note Board or anywhere else I was present at the time.

Thanks, Marcel. As suspected, nothing new here.

When did the previous release come out? If it was before 2003, the discussion would have been on the Blue Note board. I know I am not dreaming. I was waiting for a second, corrected pressing but the set went OOP real fast. Speaking of that, whatever happened with the Kenny Dorham Brooklyn set? Did Resonance ever admit there was a problem?

I'm going to hold off for a little bit in case some new people want in.

1. Love the intro. Theatrical. Even though I dig it, it's not even necessary. Great playing. Pianist seems to be the leader. Reminds me of Andrew Hill in one of his straight ahead moments. But also maybe Cedar Walton. The interplay with the drummer is great. This is starting to sound familiar but damn I can't think of it. They reprise the intro at the end and I'm getting Moncur vibes but it ain't him as no trombone. Solid (if short) tune. 2. Violin and cello? Abdul Wadud? Billy Bang? Maybe too "jazzy" for Bang but I don't know. I dig the urgency in the playing. No guesses on the horn. Nice song but I'm whiffing again. 3. Big band but with a Rhodes? Reminds me some of the later years Sam Rivers big bands? But he didn't typically have any keys right? And I'm not sure he ever played or led a band with a Rhodes. Loving the drummer. Love when a band is loose but also tight like this. Whoever is leader was adept for this session. Digging the bassist more and more as the tune goes on. 4. No idea but I've liked all four songs so far. No keys on this one. Super crisp rhythm section. Sax definitely has a style. Ok maybe this is Rivers? But again it's not necessarily how he played, at least in my basic understanding. 5. It's either a Mingus band or a band playing/inspired by a Mingus tune. Excellent. 6. Sounds really modern, almost in the r&b jazz sphere. Like, some unseemly producer could have made this a smooth jazz hit. Hmmm...it reminds me of that Shorter album from the 90s, High Life (which I enjoy!) I'm not sure it's Shorter, so did Hutch ever do an album like this? 7. Pianist is on fire. Like Bud but I don't think it's him. Corea? There's no way. 8. Joe Henderson comes to mind. 9. I'm stumped on this one. Great tune. There seems to be a similarity of styles throughout this bft, and I have to say I dig it. The rhythm section sort of stopping and going behind the sax is an interesting element. 10. Somewhere over the rainbow? Ben Webster? 11. I've heard this before I think, but no guesses. Love a vibes ballad. Ok if I have to guess - Bobby H. 12. Three straight ballads to close out! Nice. Love the bass in the intro. I don't know many bass/piano duos off the top of my head. Haden on bass? Great set all around. Thanks for the bft Randy!

I'm a palate cleanser like liquid drano.

FWIW, the bad disc/CD-R replacement thing sounds vaguely familiar. But I don't recall the details at all. And again FWIW. I find the Plugged Nickel the most compelling of all Miles live recordings although I own and enjoy lots of others too.

At this point we're very lucky to even have them at all. My assumption is that the vinyl editions subsidize them, otherwise I doubt they would even make the investment back. Not great, but still better than what you see with Elemental or Blue Note where the vinyl pricing outpaces the CD by 300% or more
