The 2001 RVG editions had the improved sound ie Vol. 1 had all the transfers created from the original lacquer discs (to digital in 24bit resolution) https://www.discogs.com/release/4605240-Bud-Powell-The-Amazing-Bud-Powell-Volume-One

Yup!!

I'm on the Eric Dolphy group & this has been discussed over the past week Ted Brinkley "Hearing about an imminent release of live Coltrane material from early or mid 1961? A sextet with Dolphy, and two bassists. Set list includes a performance of When Lights Are Low with Eric playing the melody. Other tunes include Africa, Greensleeves, Impressions. Tapes turned up at the NY Public Library….if someone here knows more, please fill in or correct details!" Ted Brinkley "I’m told that it’s from the Village Gate later that summer, a single microphone recording by Richard Alderson (who lent the tapes to someone, never to retrieve them? When that person passed away their archives were donated to the New York Public Library, and eventually discovered.)" I found more related info in Wild (The John Coltrane Reference", p 226) Eric Dolphy joined the group for the last weekend of the gig (Village Gate: July 21-23, 1961). Dolphy had closed at the Five Spot with Booker Little on July 16, 1961. Although there are at least three reviews of the July 1961 Village Gate gig and none mentions Dolphy, it appears that all the reviewers were at the club during the first week of the gig, not the last weekend, so they would have missed Dolphy.” The complete dates of the Village Gate gig were July 11-23, 1961.

I bought a copy (new) from a local record store here in Brisbane at the time (1998) - still have the receipt - it was expensive even at the time, costing me $Aus 84

I dropped in to Amoeba in SF (Haight) back in 2017 on our US trip Never seen such a big record/CD store - picked up a handful of CDs but the cherry on top was the Shorty Rogers "Modern Sounds" Capitol box set (3 x 7" 45s) in beautiful condition - $7.99!! IMHO a bargain just for the cover alone

loved Tom & Television - played Marquee Moon today RIP

don't get me started when it comes to Asendia & International shipping (Australia) - total cockup for my last two orders (Hubbard/Tristano most recently & earlier Black & White) - probably going to happen to the JATP order too

About the Author Richard Koloda has a master's degree in Musicology from Cleveland State University (having written a thesis on the piano music of Frederic Rzewski). He was a contributor to the critically acclaimed documentary My Name Is Albert Ayler by Swedish filmmaker Kasper Collin and was a consultant on Revenant Records' ten-CD retrospective of Ayler, which has been called 'the Sistine Chapel of box sets'. Richard lives in Wayland, Ohio, where he practices law. When he is not in court, he is working on his second book (not about music).

yep, it's my fav Zappa period - so, no original Waka & Wazoo standard recordings then (unless you have Blue Ray)

back to the Waka/Wazoo box I presume the 5th "Blue Ray" disc can be also played in a standard CD player

wonderful octet session with Osborne, Skidmore & Surman

I had never heard of the '66 Helsinki Recordings - I managed to get the Ayler Rarities tracks from UBU a few years back - contained any previously unreleased material (in the Ayler "Tree") up till (IIRC) the Revenant Box (that removed many of the previously unreleased tracks) - as of 2022 all that was left in the can was the Copenhagen concert (Nov 11, 1966) & a single Burton Greene live Slugs track that may not have even included AA. No mention of Helsinki.

been eyeing off this set since I received their promo email a few weeks back. 150 euros is a bit steep for a 5LP set especially when there are only two previously unreleased longish tracks - been buying the CDs over the past 3 years anyway. Probably not worth it for me.

AFAIK FZ has been cancelled in the eyes of the younger generations (millenials & more recent) due to his homophobic & misogynist lyrics - that's what I'm told by my children (27, 28 & 30) who were well versed in his music while growing up - they still like it & accept his faults great release if you're a Twardzik fan

His general psychological state & health (including mental) issues would have been a major contributing factor from what I've read

The 72 (Village Vanguard) & 75 (Newport Festival, Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, NYC) recordings were released in 2009 on a double CD spanish boot plus I sourced a FLAC of the 72 concert a few years ago - I'm surprised no one has officially released these - the SQ sounds pretty good to me - I've heard much much worse. When Robin Kelly knew (I've communicated with him a number of times) I had these recordings he asked for a copy (he didn't have this music himself) but it was for TS Monk who played on both dates and was very very interested in hearing it, again!! I Was happy to oblige & he sent me some unreleased Monk in return.

Did anyone order the Tippett double LP "How Long This Time" - i missed out on the CD version so had to opt for the vinyl I ordered in mid November but havn't received any shipping details - IIRC it was supposed to have been shipped round December 23 - have messaged Matt Parker https://britishprogressivejazz.com/album/how-long-this-time-live-1970

just pre-ordered (credit card) & got an email invoice within a few minutes. Also a pending charge has appeared in my bank account

Currently listening to this release & enjoying, especially Detroit Contemporary 4 - this looks like the only (so far) released recordings of this lineup Charles Moore cnt/Stanley Cowell p/John Dana b/Danny Spencer dm Anyone know who was actually in the Paradise Theatre Orchestra - I know some of the Blackbyrds (Toney & Killgo) were present Need to look into Lyman Woodard a bit more - is his Strata East release "Lyman Woodard Organisation" worth getting?

Wow!! I always thought they were legit - have been buying their material (CDs) since the early 90s the bootlegging probably relates to the Revisited series (11xx) - admittedly I have been perplexed by the Blue Note & OJC inclusions https://www.discogs.com/label/171702-REVISITED

Just received a batch of the Hat Hut ezz-thetics Revisited CDs (via Tommy's Jazz & Squidco) This live Horace S Quintet (64-66) is absolutely superb (including SQ) from a stellar period in his career. It's basically a compilation of live tracks that Horace released on the Emerald label (one LP & one CD), which was a subsidiary of Silveto. The whole of Emerald CD 1003 (Half Note) is replicated (sans the Alan Grant Intro) & two tracks (of 4) from the Emerald LP 1001 (Cork & Bib) making 80 minutes in toto. For Joe Henderson fans it's a real bonus - standout track imho is The Tokyo Blues (Cork & Bib) running in at 15 minutes. BTW the Emerald CD was rereleased on the 32 Jazz label, titled Re-Entry. Looks like the two Cork & Bib titles are on CD for the first time.

R.I.P. John Pochee Legendary Australian jazz drummer passed (82) earlier this month - he had been part of the australian jazz scene since the late 50s John with fellow journeyman Bernie McGann (alto) played together on many sessions (early 60s to mid 2000s). He also formed/organised the large group Ten Part Invention https://www.smh.com.au/national/the-heart-that-shone-through-the-music-20221122-p5c0ab.html Sydney Morning Herald link above

my first Bechets were the Australian World Record Club pressings (1975) of both these LPs

One of my fav compilations is the 14CD set released by Universal France in 2011 "The Complete American Masters, 1931-53" (it does include "Days Beyond Recall"). I remember it being quite affordable/cheap at the time. Excellent transfers
