FREE - please share some detail on that bennett date... is fontana fitting in as cleanly as mariano does? , -e-

here ya go, hans...

oh consider the irony of that spelling... -e-

somkin'? sounds like a hebrew record... , -e-

a remastering and repackaging...as well as six tracks not on the prior issue (previously available in japon as the complete somkin' at the half note). no doubt a vast improvement over previously available domestics. this was excellent straight ahead wes - to overdub it with strings would be like drawing a mustache on the mona lisa. if you're reading this and don't own it, don't hesitate! -e-

my name is etherbored and i'm a thread-killer... , -e-

i don't get it. perhaps with that elvin set the shipping may be a tad less expensive or...? -e-

JAZZMOUSE - your posts and replies are freaking hilarious. end of story, -e-

couw, i want that record! -e-

one of my very first posts indicated my jankowski proclavities... i dig all the MPS cheese (and then some)! -e-

which now brings us to a discussion about any responsibilties, ethical or artistic, that blue note/EMI may have... noone seemed to fuss over toshiba-EMI's prior reissue... -e-

this leaves either the artist or corporate (EMI)... -e-

re-read kevin's "put two and two together" as well as "it's not blue note's fault" posts. ???, -e-

it's really a rhetorical 'if'. it's fact that they are indulging the artist based on the postponed release. there's no way that the artist has any rights to the marketing (or re-marketing in this care), distribution, or release of a work from four decades ago. the ball is squarely in EMI's court as to their indulgence (or 'support' or 'respect'?) to the artist on this count... -e-

no offense intended, but oh yes it is. if they're indulging the artist at this late date... there's absolutely no contractual or atistic justification. talk a hot potato (potatoe?), -e-

i think this is my definitive version of s'wonderful (which is saying something). the sermon holds a special place in my heart as it's the furst blue note i was given as a child... there is no more magical a session in the whole catalog. -e-

can someone comment on the mastering as compared to the recent SBJC's (Super Bit Jazz Classics)? thanks in advance, -e-

ah, with a 2-year old last post no wonder i didn't see it... apologies, -e-

how about a thread for this set? i'm ordering it first thing monday a.m. after spending some time with a friend's copy today... these arrangements just aren't to be believed. and the personnel? carmell jones, richard holmes, harold land, teddy edwards, buddy collette, mel lewis, jack wilson, joe pass, bud shank, jimmy woods, leroy vinnegar, roy ayers, herbie lewis, curtis amy, laurindo almeida, bobby hutcherson, tommy flandagan, jimmy rowles, joe porcaro, george duke... this is a lineage of los angeles musical royalty. mercy! -e-

after my dozenth relaod, the signal's now loud and clear... , -e-

or has the snowstorm short-circuited their server? -e-

YES it does... , -e-

no, but there are eric marienthal, spyro gyra, and rippingtons discs. no joke... wish it were, -e-

i'm a can-am believer. if you can afford a collection of any substance, these pieces are a solid investment. literally, -e-

i don't... but i agree that things should be kept as respectful as possible. even though i can't say my taste runs parallel with everyone around here i nonetheless respect yous guys opinions and intelligence. regards, -e-
