(got cut off) ...especially in the arco mode. I'd be interested to know what you think of this, Jonathan. Perhaps I'm off the mark, but that's what I hear. I think a marriage of those two incredible recordings would be enough to persuade someone to take a chance. If you like Sonny Rollins, Lee Konitz, Ornette Coleman, Wayne Shorter in NEFERTITI mode ... I can't imagine you wouldn't like the Joe Daley Trio.

Glad to hear you pressing forward with the box. Ironically enough, I would describe the Daley to someone who hasn't heard it as a cross between Sonny Rollins' FREEDOM SUITE and Anthony Ortega's NEW DANCE. The sound on that Sonny record is particularly dry, unlike the proto Energy music of the Village Vanguard material, or his late 60s trios; I think Daley, who is obviously very Rollins-influenced, comes closest to this particular version of Sonny's playing. And it shares with NEW DANCE an adventurous insider-stepping-outside vibe, a searching, wide-eyed, late night quality. I also feel a connection between Russell Thorne and Chuck Domanico. Both play insanely well on these records

1. June Christy 2. Mel Torme 3. Billie That #2 is a red herring. I love Torme, but generally dislike male jazz vocalists. Heretic as is may seem Rushing, Joe Williams, Jon Hendricks, Johnny Hartman, Leon Thomas, whoever...they drive me nuts. Though I do like Chet, and certainly Teagarden and Louis. 3 is tough, though. I love Rene Marie, Chris Connor, Helen Forrest, Peggy Lee, Anita O'Day, Betty Carter.

That's interesting to hear about Horace Silver, thanks for the info. I always found it odd that this legend-- about the only one left from the hard bop inner circle-- was still living but is never discussed as being "present", if that makes sense.

That smirking little line about AEC was about the most obnoxious thing in the series next to the jab at CT. As it is, I think the film is alright, if simplistic, up to bebop. Everything after that is a blur. I got the book version as a gift, and I have to say it's leagues better than the series. It has tons of great photos and goes some places that I think we all wish the show did, which is frustrating. There are fine essays included by Early (on Kenton, Jarrett, and whiteness), Giddins (on the avant garde-- I know, but it's decent), and Crouch (on the NYC scene of the 70s and 80s), among a few others on early jazz whose subjects i don't recall but which are interesting Why they relegated this stuff to the book I'll never know. Though, of course, I do know exactly why.

I didn't get it either

Don't know Herwig, but I'd buy this for the sidemen and the interesting instrumentation.

I quoted $100, so it's a given I'd certainly pay $60. I was highballing it anyways. Your price-point sounds about right, and fair for a deluxe, 3CD edition of a kinda niche title.

Thank you again for taking the time, money and energy to do this right. Personally I would pay $100 or more for that Daley box.

!!! You are amazing, sir. Thank you, thank you.

:tup Something from Joe McPhee's As Serious As Your Life?

I'm looking forward to hearing those Giuffres when I get some cash. I'm a huge fan of John Surman's solo ECMs so I don't think the synths will be bothersome at all.

Neat! We've been in the aera about a year and a half from Iowa City. Some adjusting to do, but it's a neat place. Since we moved it's been new job-pregnancy-hospitalization-new baby so we haven't done or seen much, but we've got years on our hands now so I'm looking forward to it.

Randol's on Kaliste Saloom. You may know it, been there 40 years. Kind of a tourist joint, but that's ok.

Boy, I'd like to know the release date for that one. There's only five weeks left to this quarter. Quarter in Hat's schedule that is. These are their releases through April, then they'll put out a new batch May-July, August-Oct, Nov-Jan, etc.

Mr. Horowitch had said he was definitely going to do Jeremy Steig's Flute Fever with Denny Zeitlin. Hopefully this is still the case.

Here in South Louisiana, I'm thankful! I'm the executive chef at a Cajun restaurant and the weekend was pure hell.

Mobley is sold.

I should note that the Farlow is the Universal edition which says Tal Farlow Concert Band on the outer box spine.

All prices include shipping in US. Paypal only. PM about international. Tal Farlow $80 Hank Mobley $75 Randy Weston Select $30 Andrew Hill Select 16 $35 Nat King Cole Hip-O Select $30

If it takes me 30 years and I have to sell off a chunk of my collection to afford it, I will have that one day.

http://www.avclub.com/articles/denzel-washington-may-take-a-break-from-being-an-a,69270/ Personally I like Wendell Pierce for this part, but whatever. I'd say there's about a 500 to 1 chance this movie gets made anyways and I'm sure we'll be all the better for it.

As far as your question about price, for some reason or another this, along with the Maynard Ferguson, is one of the most competitive Mosaics on Ebay. For a CD version you're looking at $175-250 easy, between $200-300+ for the LP.

My understanding with School Days is that Hat acquired the rights and put out their editions in 1992 and 2003. Nearly a decade passed and Davidson came under the impression that the rights were up for grabs again, so he pressed his edition on CD last year. He quickly learned that Hat still held the rights and was planning to repress it again and so withdrew the disc. But I do think it was pressed-- anybody have one?

Hm, only 3 new titles announced this quarter: Jimmy Lyons/Sunny Murray Trio JUMP UP Marco Von Orrelli 6 CLOSE TIES ON HIDDEN LANES Eskelin/LiebmanMarino/Black NON SEQUITORS Nice to see the Lyons but still still still waiting on a few that have been dangled before us for years.
