Better to buy more music.

The missing numbers are unissued dates. More later. Bob Sunenblick started the label and after a couple of years, took on Mark Feldman (MD, not the fiddler) as a partner. After a few years they "divorced" and Mark started Reservoir. Mark got the dates I mentioned, and unissued dates by Leitch (Red Zone), Joe Puma and Ralph Moore. Bob still has "in the can" unissued dates by Beryl Booker, Dave Schildkraut, Lennie Andrade and Freddie Redd. The Redd and Schildkraut dates are in my hands, and any delay can be laid at my feet

Thanks, I ordered 9.

Missing from the list: 27.06 JR Monterose/Tommy Flanagan And A Little Pleasure 27.16 Pepper Adams Live At Fat Tuesday's 27.21 Buddy Tate/Al Grey Just Jazz 27.24 Peter Leitch Exhilaration Some of the Uptown lp titles (27.06, 08, 16, 17, 21 and 24) belong to Reservoir now.

I have the JRVG of Demon's Dance, and it is much better than the domestic disc. I'd like to have Rudy remaster Compulsion.

Both now available for $31 plus 1.42 for Media Mail.

Rather than intrude on the other thread, I thought I'd start my own. Does this mean that we can get "deals" on Kobe beef?

After "All Music" by Warne Marsh, I'd like to see Roscoe Mitchell's "Nonaah" and Charles Tyler's "Saga of the Outlaws". Maybe after that, Wadada Leo Smith's "Spirit Catcher" an some Bobby Bradford/John Stevens collaborations. Unusual disclaimer: All kinds of commercial considerations.

I think it came from France. probably from the French capitol of Cleveland.

The Hill is the only one I don't have in some format.

The sound of the Clark is helped with a healthy treble boost. The Hawkins is a solid, but nonessential date. A good "snapshot" of Hawk at work.

I have/had all the Henze symphonies and he doesn't really move me. If there is something else I should know, please tell. I can't believe I forgot to mention a great, cheap Carter disc on the Arte Nova label. This disc combines his Concerto for Orchestra with the Piano Concerto, played by Ursula Oppens (Julius Hemphill's "partner").

Not easy music by any means, Elliott Carter is my favorite. You can ease into him via a couple Nonesuch discs, then move on to the string quartets and more recent stuff on DG.

Nothing more complicated than saying no. Money was not the issue.

Probably never been an issue on this board since it is your first posting here. After 5 years + selling to various people on various lists, I've never had a bad check. If you have had trouble, you must have sold a ton of stuff online.

Good for you and your wife Vajerzy. I admire your work and envy your emotions.

Hope Ashcroft isn't at work.

I see my last post was #1500 (viewers) for this thread. I think Jim deserves some sort of award.

All is good!

Consent is the yardstick.

How can I check your mental prostate? Where do I stick my finger?

Nice to see Shawn posting here AND I seem to have killed the thread by mentioning personal stuff. Please continue, and ask questions if interested. I've been living with the Bird material for around 5 years and some of my statements from memory are now suspect to me. I need to research my notes. I will find the exact dates of the 2 concerts, and confirm my suspicion that Bailey was the vocalist on both concerts (I think Ella was an early report later disproved). Two photos from the "other" Town Hall concert are reproduced in "Black Beauty, White Heat", a fantastic coffee table book. In these photos Diz, and Diz and Bird are shown playing with Curly Russell and Doc West and in the 2nd photo West and a different bass player. The pianinst is obscured in both photos. One word of warning for sound/continuity freaks: There are a couple of breaks where discs on the recorder had to be turned over/replaced. Seconds of music are missing.

Some of these folks have to be "teasing tiny".

If some of you did email Michael, no harm, no foul. I would like to know how many sent messages and what you said. Please contact me directly at cnessa@earthlink.net . Thanks.

I don't have the set, but you should be able to tell by the instrumentation.
