    I installed Internet Explorer 11 on my Windows 7 computer and it won't let me quote any previous posts on this site - there are no problems on other boards. It's a nuisance. No quoting problems here with Firefox 24, though. Posting pictures with IE 11 is also a no-no. Anyone have a solution?

    I agree. I was told Michael Cuscuna released all the bonus tracks (including alternates) he could find and didn't reject. I do have the first edition of the Cuscuna/Ruppli Blue Note discography and checked the Dolphy date; those two alternates are not listed at all.

    Great set.
  4. J.A.W.
    That's a bargain. Great set.

    Same here. I'm not buying these recordings over and over again, with the exception of the excellent Kevin Gray-mastered Audio Wave reissues.

    The big 1963-1966 Andrew Hill Mosaic included recordings released on these albums: – Black Fire – Smoke Stack – Judgment – Point of Departure – Andrew! – Compulsion – One for One; recordings reissued on Pax The remaining material on the set was indeed reissued on Change.

    Released by Solid Jazz Records, another one of those European public-domain labels.

    Source?

    Really sorry to hear that.
  11. J.A.W.
    Listened to the audio clips and liked most of what I heard (though that Blackwell drum date not so much), so I might have to change my mind about this set.

    Yep, that Kirk box is great.
  13. J.A.W.
    Seconded / daar sluit ik me bij aan
  14. J.A.W.
    Whatever.

    Our tastes in music and playback are very different. Nothing wrong with that.

    Now that I think of it, that's probably why I rank Etcetera and All Seeing Eye at the very top of the bunch, specifically because of Herbie's involvement in both. I absolutely LOVE his (Herbie's) playing on both, especially All Seeing Eye. I'm trying to think of other free-leaning dates with Herbie on acoustic piano, and other than these two (plus TW's Trainwreck), none are immediately coming to mind. Herbie's rhythmic approach on these free-ish acoustic dates is nothing short of fantastic, at least in my book. Did I misunderstand, or do you think of Tony Williams's Life Time and Spring as train wrecks? I think he's referring to an unissued Tyrone Washington Blue Note date, which, if I'm not mistaken, was described by Michael Cuscuna as a "train wreck": Recorded in Englewood Cliffs, NJ on August 16, 1968 Tyrone Washington - tenor saxophone Herbie Hancock - piano Herbie Lewis - bass Jack De Johnette - drums

    Yep, those VeeJays tend to be overlooked, undeservedly in my view. I had the original LPs, but had to sell them. Picked up the Lee Morgan/Wayne Shorter VeeJay Mosaic when it came out.

    A rather uninspired date in my opinion. Nothing special, on the contrary, a dime a dozen; a typical example of the formulaic hard bop of the time (1961).

    According to my sources the Transition recordings that hadn't been acquired yet by others went to United Artists around 1958, when Tom Wilson worked there as a producer. Blue Note purchased two Donald Byrd dates, the Paul Chambers/John Coltrane session, and the Cecil Taylor, Doug Watkins and first Louis Smith dates. Two of my sources: The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz and Ruppli/Cuscuna's Blue Note discography.

    As far as I know United Artists acquired the Transition catalogue in 1958, at least those recordings that hadn't been acquired by other labels or by the artists yet. So the real movement would have been Transition to UA, and then to BN once they were both owned by UA, correct? In which case, Aric, the answer to your question is "no".

    Thanks for the translation

    Not true, Donald Byrd's Byrd's Eye View and Byrd Blows on Beacon Hill and Doug Watkins' Watkins at Large were reissued on the Blue Note 2CD-set The Transition Sessions. Transition was founded by Tom Wilson in 1955 and remained in existence for about two years. Some recordings were acquired by other labels, others by the artists. Some were reissued on Blue Note.

    Sem van Gelder's Swingmaster store in Groningen is great for used stuff, both on LP and CD. They're now at a new address: Pelsterstraat 20, 9711 KL Groningen.
