The Fletcher Henderson disc (Vocalion & Pathe 1924-5) looks interesting but unfortunately 11 of the 25 tracks have been previously released on the Henderson/Armstrong Forte 3CD set, making it less appealing to me
-
This relatively recent AA release (5LP/4CD) should certainly be up there

The Complete Crazy Sunday at the Lighthouse. 6-CD set of Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars in 1953 released by the Los Angeles Jazz Institute in 2023.
I second that as this would have to be in my top 5 from this category

OMG I'm shocked - he was a vital force in keeping the Blue Note label (and many others) alive - whenever I see those twofer BN LPs from the 70s I think of him
I have a number of letters from him sent throughout the 90s, pre email days
RIP Michael

For full coverage of Beckett's recording career, the book by John Thurlow of Jazz In Britain is very useful. Long since sold out though, unfortunately.
also good coverage in Wickes "Innovations In British Jazz"

Last time I saw him live was in that Mingus tribute group with Chris Biscoe. He must have been at least 80 but was still playing very nicely. Apparently Harry was several years older than his publicised age.
a contemporary of Joe Harriott though a bit younger

I don't think Harry ever did a recording that was less than good !
you're right there - everything I have him on (his sessions & as sideman) shines
-
been listening to Harry Beckett's "Joy Unlimited" from 1974 on the Cadillac (John Jack) label
A strong session with Ray Russell's guitar playing a real standout - the last track Not Just Tomorrow showcases Russel really "going for it"
Highly recommended imho

extract from Burning Ambulance for up & coming CT book (thanks for the tip William M) - not sure of the author's name - doesn't appear to be mentioned in the article
In the Brewing Luminous: The Life & Music of Cecil Taylor,
Untitled painting by Martel Chapman
It’s official: my next book, In the Brewing Luminous: The Life & Music of Cecil Taylor, is in its final stages of production. Thanks to the efforts of the brilliant and generous folks at Wolke Verlag in Berlin, it will include an index; photos from Val Wilmer, Dagmar Gebers, and others; and a foreword by German jazz journalist Markus Müller (author of FMP: The Living Music, also published by Wolke).
I had originally planned for the image above, a painting by Martel Chapman, to be the cover. I commissioned it from him because I loved the work he’d done on Victor Gould’s albums Clockwork and Thoughts Become Things, and Nduduzo Makhathini’s In the Spirit of Ntu. But the Wolke folks said no, that they couldn’t make it work from a design perspective. They sent me a cover mockup using the painting, and they were right; it didn’t look nearly as good as some of the other ideas they offered, using more traditional — but still quite vivid — photos of Taylor. So we agreed on one of the other options, and as soon as the typography and color scheme are finalized, I’ll show it to you.
At this point, we’re hoping to send it to the printer by the end of May, and have it done by sometime in June. (They turn things around fast on their end; I have no idea how, but I definitely appreciate it.) How long it will take to reach distributors and bookstores after that, I have no idea, but as of now, I’m guessing at a late summer/early fall street date.
So right now I’m starting to drum up publicity for it, since I don’t have the budget to hire someone. If you’re a journalist reading this, and you have any interest in possibly reviewing In the Brewing Luminous: The Life & Music of Cecil Taylor for a newspaper, magazine, website, your own newsletter, or anyplace else, hit me up and I’ll send you a PDF. I am also very available for interviews about the book, or anything else.

are you referring to this?
Big Band Modern : Ernie Royal (tp) plus following poss. pers. : Walter Williams (tp) Melba Liston, Henry Coker, Robert Wagner, Trummy Young (tb) Sonny Criss, Willie Smith (as) Wardell Gray, Zoot Sims, Stan Getz (ts) prob. more unknown (reeds), Gerry Wiggins (p) Red Callender (b) Lee Young (d) Gerald Wilson (arr,cond,tp-1)Live, Los Angeles, February 8, 1954 Note: The Jazz Factory (Sp)JFCD22880 [CD] lists recording date as San Francisco's Veterans Memorial, San Francisco, early 1950 and that this session was recorded in stereo, a new technology in 1950. However, according to research by Alun Morgan and Malcolm Walker with help from Don Maggin's biography, the recording date is much more likely to be Los Angeles, February 1954. James Accardi's online Wardell Gray discography gives "Concert, San Francisco Veterans' Memorial, San Francisco, CA, Monday, February 8, 1954".
See prob. mid-late April, 1954 for the rest of The Jazz Factory (Sp)JFCD22880 [CD].
(1) This title also on American Jazz Classics (Sp)99070 [CD] titled "You Better Believe It! + Moment Of Truth".

Grant Greens "First Session" was released in 2001, so the interview must have taken place in the year 2000.
According to Richard Cook, the interview was released in: Doobop, No. 5 (2000).

7 hours ago, Peter Friedman said:Mike and I are in agreement in that we like Doug Watkins more than Paul Chambers.
Here is my brief story about the time I met Doug Watkins.
I spent a year and a half in Germany while a member of the U.S. Army. In 1958 I had a leave and traveled to Paris. Donald Byrd and Bobby Jaspar had a quintet at a club on the Left Bank. The rhythm section included Walter Davis,Jr., Doug Watkins, and Art Taylor. I went to the club to hear that group. In between sets I spent a bit of time sitting at a table and talking with Doug Watkins and also, as I recall Art Taylor. Doug seemed to enjoy having a chance to speak to an American jazz fan from his home town of Detroit. Unfortunately, as that was so very long ago, I can't remember what we actually spoke about during that brief time together.
After leaving the Army and returning home to Detroit, I was very saddened when I learned a couple of years later that Doug Watkins had died in an auto accident. Thankfully, I have the recordings of that Byrd-Jaspar Quintet in Paris which brings back happy memories of the time I heard the group (with Doug Watkins) in Paris.
wonderful!! & thanks for sharing

Happy birthday, Mr. Shatner! While I am a hopelessly committed Trekker, I still think his best work was with James Spader on "Boston Legal"!
my fav Shatner (happy birthday by the way) would have to be the Twilight Zone episode (1963) "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet"

1. the recent "Newest Sound You Never Heard" Blake/Lee double - 66/67 European recordings

I really lost track of these now. I ordered and wanted them to ship them all at once. How many volumes are there yet to come now?
AFAIK of the 11 sets in the series, 5 have been released/shipped (#1, 2, 6, 8 & 11) so far (including the first one which is not part of the subscription series of 10 sets).
I'm in the same boat, waiting for the series to be completed before shipping
