It is a matter of taste and preferences, but I'd say that over time Jazz on 3 has presented a pretty excellent and informative set of concerts.

Kjell Nordeson plays some mean vibes on the Vandermark date!

As I mentioned BBC Radio 3 the other day I thought people might be interested in this online service where you can hear the latest broadcast of the BBC's various jazz programs. BBC Radio 3 Player Start by checking out Jazz Legends - a great survey of Pepper Adams. PS The playlists ARE posted, but soemtimes arrive a week or two after the broadcast goes out...

Don't kid this guy! Kuisis, The price of new sets is generally $16, sometimes $17 per CD. The price of OOP sets on ebay is almost always higher, sometimes very high indeed. A few sets are very much in demand (Nat King Cole, Basie, Andrew Hill) but I doubt whther your friend would ask you for fancy collector's prices.

Apparently it will be released. It gets a mention in the Jazztet thread if I remember correctly. Cool. Well let's hope it comes in at the same price as the Tal Farlow. I'm going to wait and see.

Good point, Bill. Some of it is Landmark but the issues invovled are no longer clear to me. By the way if no-one downlads my list I'll be very upset!

As ever the moneybags who already have everything get to joke around while the rest of us can only dream about owning a record like this. Anybody do me a burn?

This is now the full list - I had missed off Pat Martino.

There were twenty of those camden titles. I don't have a list. The Donald Byrd was the best seller, though the Shaw was musically more convincing. The camdens mix-and-matched whole and part albums to fill two CDs, so their appeal to completists may be limited. They are no longer in print, AFAIK. PS Tell a lie. They have a website and some of the titles still seem to be listed. PPS A recent sale list from The Woods showed these titles as in print - this may or may not correspond to the Camden website listing: BARRON, KENNY Sunset 74321 61089 2 BOWIE, LESTER Mirage 74321 61090 2 BURRELL, KENNY At The Village Vanguard 74321 61084 2 BYRD, DONALD Attitude 74321 61085 2 CORYELL, LARRY Confirmation 74321 61087 2 HOLMES, RICHARD GROOVE Plenty Plenty Blues 74321 61073 2 JONES, HANK/RED GARLAND Master Class 74321 61083 2 MILLER, MULGREW Milestones 74321 61077 2 SHANK, BUD/AL COHN/ZOOT SIMS/PHIL WOODS The Summit 74321 61082 2 SHAW, WOODY Solid 74321 61079 2 STITT, SONNY Constellation 74321 61091 2 STITT, SONNY/LOU DONALD SON Keepers Of The Flame 74321 61076 2

A lot of people endorse burning OOP albums but I personally see it differently. If everybody burns an album that is OOP there is no incentive for the company to reissue it. The more burning goes on the less commercially viable reissues become. On another topic, I think quality of reissue masterings is another matter. There, quite simply, if people want issues remastered from original tapes they will hav to go to the owner of those tapes. That is a market matter. If they don't want that, then they needn't. That is not an argument for changing PD law. In the end, tapes will get destroyed, not everything can be preserved. And lets remember that the best reissues in terms of sound quality don't always come from the companies that own the masters.

Mosiac? Is that like the evil parallel universe version of Mosaic who rip off European masterings and refuse to replace faulty discs and dented boxes? It is cheap to pick on a typo, I know. I'm sorry. The amazon.co.uk price is pretty user friendly. Do we know whether the Jazztet is slated for euro-release?

Yeah, but blink again and they're back in print. But now they have got CARDBOARD SLEEVES! I mean - just think - real, actual 100% cardboard...!!! It's a sort of technological miracle.

Too good to be true! The only references to Pigeon Hole Oklahoma on Google are links to one version or other of this story.

In Britain we have several jazz features which run on Radio 3 (the classical music wing of the public broadcasting sytem). It means that over time you can sample quite a lot of music for free. How many people outside UK can use radio to get into things? Does everyone rely on buying things in order to hear them at all?

Didn't realise how easy it was. Listed a duplicate book I have and suddenly realised I am sitting on a gold mine! They charge about 20% if you sell, nothing if you don't, and the listing lasts 60 days. This is a good idea, right? Or am I missing something? PS Uggh - it appears I am a Marketplace seller not a z shop - same difference, right?

Horace Silver comes to mind. Definitive has issued some of his BN recordings. As I've mentioned in other threads, the general public will buy what's on the shelves at the cheapest price possible. Public domain reissues are an unknown to most people. The point gets missed on these early fifties issues from Definitive that you can be certain that EMI are no longer paying performer royalties on these in the issues sold outside America [corrected - I had previoiusly written 'Europe'] - since in law they do not have to. Only American consumers have the moral dilemma when they see Definitive in the stores. EMIs idea is to compete with the alternate versions by making a superior product - hence RVGs - and also to compete on price as far as possible (see their Euro-Callas editions.) By the way, as an author whose books are read in libraries and no doubt photo-copied if required I seriously wonder whether anyone participating in these debates can say they always bought a book (thereby ensuring the author got his/her royalty of 5-10%) and never borrowed or copied. As far as I can see copyright images and texts appear on this BB every day. The issues are similar.

This one?

I was scammed, years ago, with the old money for bus fare scam (it was in New Haven Connecticut - the guy was supposedly going to Alabama). Funny thing is, like you, I gave him half. Half!!! It meant I didn't believe him but I gave myself a 50/50 chance of being mistaken. Duh!

John Do you know Brighton at all? There is one down the road near the station - I can't remember what it is called maybe you can - and there is another a little further on, also good for LPs. I haven't been for a few years and can't remember what they are called. Do you know them and can you give any detail? The road in question is, I think, Trafalgar Street - down from the station in a weird going down into hell type way. Look here for some addresses and maps - there are other shops than those listed - he could always phone around these shops once he gets here and ask about others they may know of - Brighton is just about worth scouring for LPs, I'd say. PS More info here and here and here. With the tel. nos. he can phone around a bit in advance and confirm what kind of stock places hold (it will have changed since I last went.) Brighton is fun for shopping!

Anyone heard this recent release on Concord? Really fine, and it just grows and grows on you. Valuable supplement to the Mosaic, maybe? Also dusted off Three Little Words on Jazz House Records, a 1965 Les Tomkins recording from Ronnie Scott's with all the problematic sound and intense musical interest which those tapes have so far had.

Verve site lists this set: 9/20/04 The Jazztet - Complete Verve Sessions - Box Set - GRP Records

Did anybody mention George Russell? 'The African Game' and 'So What'.

This thread has just skipped a year. No wonder they call it cyberspace and not cyber time.

Truer words and all that... There is a real value in moving on too! But if you think there are any you might be sentimentally attached to, or something that on a lonesome night with a bit of alcohol inside you might just hit the spot, then keep that one back! My method with an artist I once liked but have grown tired of is to keep one title, the one I think is best, and lose the others. Then if I play that title again and realise I don't really care for it, that one goes too. I'm very systematic!
