romualdo

need to add Vol 17 (my favourtie from the series followed closely by the two Rendezvous Ballroom with Wardell Gray releases) ie Warne Marsh/Lee Konitz/Ronnie Ball/Ted Brown/Jeff Morton - "Coolin' Off In California - The Tristano-ites Invade Hollywood" The vast majority of the titles from these sets have never been previously released (LP or CD)

great read!! Thanks again for the wonderful detective work James The history of the 1953 Carlton Theatre (LA) concert (first live performance of the Chet Baker Quartet) is fascinating as the currently recorded date is erroneous (should be August 17, not August 12) plus there were other bands/musicians present & all of it recorded (cept for a portion of the first song of the concert). Bob Sunenblick purchased the tapes (not the Chet Baker Quartet, this was bought by Blue Note & released). So Uptown has the remainder of the music from this historic concert - wonder if it will ever get a release - actually, will anything more be released now that Bob has passed. Cecil set-up his tape deck backstage at the Carlton Theater on August 17, 1953. The Carlton Theatre at 5409 S. Western Avenue was a 1,200-seat Fox West Coast Theatres movie house. It was opened in May 1924 and closed in the late-1950’s. It had been demolished by 1972. When Mark Anthony rented the theater to present his “Program of Modern Jazz” it had long ceased to present motion pictures and had been advertised for sale in the classified section of newspapers. The concert got underway before Cecil had completed his set-up and microphones. The first number performed, Shorty Rogers’ “Popo” featured Teddy Charles, Jimmy Giuffre, Shorty Rogers, Chet Baker, Howard Roberts, Russ Freeman, Curtis Counce, and Shelly Manne. Cecil’s recording missed the opening of “Popo.” Teddy Charles Quartet with Howard Roberts, Curtis Counce, and Shelly Manne performed the next portion of the concert – “So Long Broadway,” “Out of Nowhere,” “Just One of Those Things,” “Curtis Counce,” “Violetta,” and “Cherokee.” The Chet Baker Quartet with Russ Freeman, Carson Smith, and Larry Bunker performed – “All the Things You Are,” “Isn’t It Romantic?” “Maid in Mexico,” “My Funny Valentine,” and “This Time the Dream’s On Me.” This portion of the concert was sold to Blue Note Records and released as the first volume of the Chet Baker Live series. Shorty Rogers with Jimmy Giuffre, Russ Freeman, Curtis Counce, and Shelly Manne performed – “La Soncailli,” “Apropos,” “I Only Have Eyes For You,” “Beau Boy,” and “Luau.” Bob Sunenblick of Uptown Records purchased the Teddy Charles and Shorty Rogers tape of the concert. The notes scribbled on the back of the Scotch tape carton were illegible and mistakenly interpreted as August 12, 1953, the date used on the CD release and subsequently in Tom Lord’s Jazz Discography. The Carlton Theater concert was not advertised in newspapers and I only become aware of the actual date when Mark Anthony Traversino contacted me twenty years ago. I had mentioned the concert online and received an email out of the blue from Mark. He had saved the handbill used to advertise the concert. During our email exchanges he shared his background growing up in Los Angeles. He said that he regretted not using his full name on the handbill.

The International Phonograph Inc 2011 edition is the definitive CD version IMHO

Lost in Translation!! Paul Bray Ted Carson John Chikai Dave Barrel Julius Henfil Same here - I checked CD Japan & HMV Japan last night & no mention on either site - from my experience CD Japan tends to lag with certain releases - they just suddenly appear on the day of release I would really go for (akin to the Mosaic wish list) a box set (CD &/or vinyl) of the complete Roling covers - they are my no 1 fav jazz LP covers - i'm sure it will eventually happen

Interesting read Never noticed on the cover of Page One the omission of McCoy Tyner (indicated by etc) due to his concurrent contract with Impulse This live broadcast (Flamboyans, Uptown Jazz), three months prior to the Una Mas session is our first recorded/available introduction to the KD/JH pairing

I have both versions (twofer & SHMs) of the State...... & agree that the SHMs are superb

I think there are three alternates new to this box - two from Page One ("La Mesha" & "Homestretch") plus one from Our Thing ("Our Thing") - none of these were released in the SHM series

So, Addey will be re-tweaking the Japanese SHM versions/masters from the mid last decade?

Yep!! what a bonus, especially on the 25 minute version of African Cookbook Another great BE performance that has been on replay at my place is the 27min track "Blues For You" on the Lamemt For Booker Ervin Enja LP/CD

Currently on repeat listening of "Monterey '66" - spectacular live recording with lots of solo spaces - one of Randy's best lineups What do people generally think of his so called "commercial" U/A release "Destry Rides again" - it was omitted from the Mosaic Select at Randy's request I don't think it sounds that bad - managed to pick up a Japanese TOCJ CD release of it

I think Sam records has a thing for Nathan Davis - quite a few of their releases have him as leader or sideman The jazz icons DVD will be enough for me. Don't need it duplicated with vinyl.

I have that same live recording (Paris) on a Jazz Icons DVD (4th box set) - just watched both versions & they are identical. The DVD lists the recording date as Nov 3, 1965 while the RTBF site uses the date of March 16, 1968. I'd say the 65 date is correct - also supported by the Lord Discography that lists the recent French Sam label release of the same concert on a LP only (Art Blakey & The New Jazzmen - Paris '65) set using the Nov 65 date.

what a find!!! Just watched the complete performance - film/video quality is superb what a lineup - Curson, Nathan Davis (great to see him but only flute), Pony, Booker (Ervin), Drew, Woode & Bateman

Octave Lab label (Japan) has issued some of the Tribe releases on CD early last year (March) plus two later, non Tribe, Wendell Harrison releases & a Doug Hammond one 1. A Message from The Tribe (Complete Edn) - double CD that contains the three different LP versions - interesting history (listened to a recent interview with Phil Ranelin who remembers the first sessions for A Message... & Evening With the Devil being recorded in a Grosse Pointe basement in Detroit) 2. An Evening with the Devil - basically same recording date as #1 plus the first side of this LP was included on half of the initial (first) version of A Message..... (gets confusing). This CD also has the bonus "original" versions included 3. Doug Hammond - Reflections in the Sea of Nurnen 4. Harold McKinney - Voices & Rhythms of the Creative Profile https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTLCD-2475 https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTLCD-2476 https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTLCD-2477 https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTLCD-2478

Subscribe (£24 for a year), download (as they are released) & burn to CDr (AIFFs) - that's what I've been doing with most of the JIB releases

The JIB vinyl is just too expensive for me (mainly due to the shipping costs to Australia) Don't understand how Honest Jons does it - I buy all of my UK vinyl through them as shipping to Australia is very very reasonable (much cheaper than JIB). Pity HJ's don't carry JIB vinyl. Also Dusty Groove in the states carries a lot of the UK releases (CD & vinyl) - again their shipping prices to Australia are great too.

I used to order by phone (late at night) from here in Australia - I always spoke to the same person - she's been mentioned on this board previously. Can't remember her name but she had a lovely voice. The Tina Brooks was one of my earlier purchases. IIRC the Mingus & Cecil Taylor Candids were my first buys. Shipping would take 12 to 16 weeks via surface but it was cheap (compared to today)!!

Finally a CD release of the Stan Tracy Big Brass "We Love You Madly" session - have had to rely on my aussie Columbia LP for years

Wonder if the tracks (I never found out what they were) from the flexi & 7" single that came with The CP graphic novel (from 2020) "Chasin' The Bird - Charlie Parker in California" will be on this upcoming Verve release

This is a wonderful set - I have the Mosaic vinyl plus Japanese CD equivalents The Mosaic set is the only place you can find the previously unreleased 7 minute version of "Between the Devil & The Deep Blue Sea"

Came in the mail today & it definitely doesn't disappoint This is superb music with an absolutely killer lineup - live in LA (Bing Theatre), May 1985 - it soars!! I got quite emotional listening Roberto Miranda ensemble (x11) - includes his brother & father plus Bobby Bradford, John Carter, James Newton, Horace Tapscott - first time all 4 played together (Roberto mentions this during the concert) I'd say this could be a contender for my release of the year Get it pronto!!

"Space Is The Place"

I would have really liked the Harriott & Garrick LPs as I'm a big Joe fan but alas I was too late - they sold so fast

listening to the latest Jazz In Britain full download ie The second Ray Russell release ie Live Vol. 2: 1970 - Forget To Remember (Sextet this time) Recorded for the BBC (London) in Jan 1970 & broadcast (4 titles) soon after. This is wonderful stuff - fantastic SQ & the playing is superb from a lineup including Harry Beckett, Nick Evans, Tony Roberts, Daryl Runswick, Alan Rushton The download/CD has significantly more material than the LP - again, I've burn't my download to a CDr (AIFF files) for better sound This £24 yearly subscription with a year of downloads of any new releases plus 4 previous releases is a no brainer IMHO Have looked into getting some of the LPs but once shipping costs to Australia are added, i'll be paying approx $75Aus per LP - not worth it IMHO plus the downloads/CDs often have more recorded material than the LPs

Second the Open Door, Rockland Palace. The Tristano/Parker material is also a favourite
