romualdo

was on my hit list as soon as I saw it last Friday (Squidco weekly update email)

Lord only includes material that has been "released" (shellac/vinyl, flexi, tape, cassette, CD, official download etc etc) unreleased live sessions (on the whole) are not listed

Here's Ornette's discography taken from the current online Lord over the period 1979 to 2010 - there are 30 entries hope you can open it (it's in "Open Document Text" format - opens with microsoft - the only way I was able to load this under 100kb of data - Microsoft text/document & PDF were too large) The 100kb limit can be unbelievably frustrating at times Ornette Coleman Lord 79-2010.odt

I think that version is the long (18:40) live one from Haarlem - different LP/CD release as noted above ("Live In Haarlem - Blood" as opposed to just "Blood") Also note that the original Dutch LP release in 1966 did not sport a Marte Roling cover. I think that only started with the Japanese reissue LP in 1984

been buying UK (Jazz in Britain) & Euro (SAM, NoBusiness) releases via Dusty Groove - shipping is markedly better to Australia (than the UK/Euro route, cept for Honest Jon's in the UK) New Billy Harper SAM LP (Antibes '75), Sam Rivers Archive series (most recent two), Tubby Hayes & Ray Russell JIBs

Those two missing tracks (from the ECM double) & originally on the Fusion LP ie "Trudgin'" (tk #5/mst) & "Used To Be" have been released on the UK Emanem double CD "Bremen & Stuttgart 1961" (another stunning release) Truly "Desert Island" material the ECM set - bought my copy in the mid 90s (new)

from Lord Discography

I'm holding on - CD Japan eventually released the first two series of the Freedom Paper Sleeve collection so I'm hoping/confident that they will stock the third

Some of my favourite jazz recordings come from the Dolphy box ie the complete Five Spot recordings - what a lineup (Little/Dolphy/Waldron/Davis/Blackwell)

you mean 18? I've had 17 for a while now

it has to compete with the IMHO better/later (2011) CBS 6CD set "The Complete Columbia Albums Collection" - includes live material (Village Vanguard) that wasn't in the Mosaic box plus a bonus CD of previously unreleased live VV material

That's it for his official recordings as leader He died in 1988 from a ruptured aortic aneurysm "In the mid-1960s, Shorter moved to Europe, leading his own avant-garde gigs in Geneva and Paris. His style of free jazz sometimes proved to be too far-out for European audiences (his brother remembered that Shorter's gigs in Europe would often end with him responding to the crowd's boos by yelling, "You're not ready for me yet!"), but he generally found European audiences more receptive than those in the U.S. Eventually, he returned to the United States, where he taught briefly at Bennington College but otherwise faded into obscurity. He died of a ruptured aorta in Los Angeles, California in 1988, at age 56, shortly after becoming engaged to Ruth Ann Hancock, a cousin of Herbie Hancock".

received my shipping notice/email today - hopefully a safe journey to Australia

RIP Curtis always loved listening to his opening dialogue on the enhanced section of the "Ultimate" Blue Train CD (1997) " Trane should Live......"

Yep, I suggested that to Michael C a few years back now my fav O'day track

#18 hasn't been released yet Discogs is way behind with its LAJI releases - only up to Vol. 5 Here's the cover to LAJI 17 - my favourite release so far even has one track (prev unrel alt take) from the Marsh/Pepper Contemporary session from Nov 56

CD Japan will eventually get the releases - they're carrying the two previous Freedom batch releases from last year - The Roling covers batch is #3 That's where I'll be sourcing them Yep!!

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?
