J.A.W.

I know, I added a line to my post.

Chronology: arrangement of events in their order of occurrence. From the ancient Greek word for time: χρόνος (chronos) "chronogical" as was printed on the cover is clearly an error.

Probably as long as these labels are doing what they're doing...

Mind you, I didn't say they used MP3s - see post #40.

Some of these labels also use needle drops or even MP3s (the owner of a public-domain label said so on a bulletin board).

Yep, if you must classify jazz, "Classic Jazz" = pre-bop, mostly 1920s jazz Some call it "Early Jazz" and some hardline purists even call it just "jazz". It's certainly not the bop-based "modern" jazz you were talking about. On the Hoffman board bop-based jazz from the 1950s and 1960s is systematically called "Classic Jazz", often by members who never seem to listen to pre-bop jazz or even don't seem to realize that there was an older kind of jazz.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Horace Silver is still with us He's 83.

Yes, and? ...and there's no guarantee of superior quality, or if they actually pay the artists or their heirs. How many times have these big labels reissued the same titles before we actually got to hear the original masters? And how many times have they butchered recordings with horrid remastering? The answer is over and over. What's that got to do with public-domain labels? Anyway, those labels have been discussed here (and elsewhere) ad nauseam, to no avail.

So? [edit] Just saw Sangrey's post above.

To each their own.

These recordings are modern jazz, not classic jazz. These sets include Blue Note, Riverside and Verve recordings and I prefer to hear them on their official labels.To my ears many of the official labels' masterings vary from decent to good, though I don't like RVG's remasters either.

They're released by Real Gone Jazz, a European public-domain label. They don't have access to original sources like master tapes, so don't expect too much of the sound quality. The recordings are in the public domain in Europe, but not in the United States, where these sets are not legit.

So I take it this session is in stereo on both boxes? I've had the mono LP for ages and was really disappointed when I got the stereo CD; the bass is buried. On the Complete Riverside Recordings - at least on my Japanese box - it's in both mono and stereo.

The 2010 Universal 16CD-box All Monk - The Riverside Albums is a repackaging of Monk's 16 OJC/Riverside/Jazzland CDs in album order, so there's nothing new; the same OJC masterings were used. The 15CD-box The Complete Riverside Recordings has more extra stuff than was included on the OJC CDs.

Yes, those are the three Heps and yes, the sound is so much better, at least to my ears.

Despair not: http://www.organissi...-at-newport-63/ The link in the first post is still live. http://www.archive.o...Live-Newport-63 Thanks. The music sounds interesting, but I'm still not sure I'd spend $60 for a box, the more so since it'd probably be insanely expensive to have it mailed to Europe - and I'm not even talking about any tax/duty that would be payable...

I wish I could listen to it first, but I guess there's little chance of that...

Yes, but that set is marred by noise reduction and that's why some people prefer the John R.T. Davies-mastered Hep CDs; they are the ones to get, even if they don't include the small-group sessions. Those can be found on Vols.8 and 9 of the French Masters of Jazz Count Basie series; I don't know if they are still easily available (and affordable), though.

To shell out $60 for someone whose music I've never heard... Not sure I'd do that.

Wow - a BIG welcome back ! Last time you were logged on, the economy was still on a roll, credit crunch not an issue, Greece was solvent and Blair/Bush still in office. Another world ! I'm not so sure Greece was solvent at the time, they were just hiding their problems and covering things up as we later found out...

Welcome back, Jeff!
