there are 4 titles (alts) from the Black Lion / 1201 CDs not in the Mosaic set while the latter contains one title not in the 3 individual discs

I can see in the near future the Andorrans releasing a double Dolphy CD (stealing/adding this release of alternates to the 2004 Lonehill Jazz CD "Complete Memorial Album Sessions") & calling it what? "The Absolute Complete……. Sessions"

that's bizarre - why would someone just steal the discs (unless you kept them separate from the box/booklet)

588 (& 134 for the Dolphy)

Just thought I'd share this photo of the 1965 tour programme that I've had for a number of years (just posted it on the Monk Facebook site) No, I wasn't at the concert (was only 9 years old then) & my parents weren't jazz fans

let's hope they both run side by side The earlier set is a UK release (that's what my copy reveals) The new set is a euro release

that's a pity - the earlier release contained 36 bonus tracks (non LP 7", BBC material etc) pertinent to each original LP

you bet!! received an email promoting this film a few days ago http://us4.campaign-archive1.com/?u=a7086e7d975e1148d1dd0a557&id=a5b1d4cd3f&e=5ec531ed07

thanks

the liner notes mention an augmented quartet but only list 3 of the rhythm members & no guitarist A guitar is evident on virtually all of the tracks Laurindo Almeida was a consultant for the recordings - maybe he also played the guitar?

mine is on the way but may take some time (surface shipping)

I agree that the packaging/presentation is over the top & space wasting but it's the music (in digital format) that I want. Also, I hadn't previously heard any of the early material (Cambridge Uni, Aix En Provence, home demos etc) Interestingly, there are titles on the "Time Of No Reply" LP excluded from this set They're also pushing the Molly Drake angle & influence on her son - have released an entire CD of her home recordings (not in the box) http://mollydrake.bandcamp.com I remember seeing the doco "A Skin Too Few" in the early 2000's - was shown on the ABC here in Australia (my partner found it utterly depressing & couldn't watch it to the end)

Any Nick Drake fans out there? connected with his music in the early 80's & have dug his small output ever since - can listen to "Five Leaves Left" & "Bryter Layter" ad infinitum Have never had any of his material on CD (except a couple of tracks on the "White Bicycles" compilation) - only ever on LP (Fruit Tree box & individual discs) Island/Universal have just released a 5CD box set "Tuck Box" at a very reasonable price - perfect for me http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tuckbox-Limited-Box-Nick-Drake/dp/B00FWCFNN0/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1387782640&sr=1-1&keywords=nick+drake+tuck+box Interesting to note that Chris McGregor plays on one of the tracks from "Bryter Layter" (Poor Boy)

my import CD order for this CD has just been cancelled - marked as unavailable Did you have to cancel it or did ImportCDs do it automatically? I e-mailed them a couple of days ago to cancel but have not yet heard anything. Unfortunately I paid via Paypal so the money's already left my account. they have a 21day rule that if the item is not available within that time frame it automatically is cancelled even though it was a preorder (also used the 10% disc) & only came available on Dec 10 -> it was cancelled on Dec 16 have to watch out for that in future

sorry about the doubling up of threads - did check before I posted but it must have been a "boys" look Any chance of merging this with the earlier post - I can't delete it as it has been already added to

just received an email from Dusk Fire They're releasing Norma's 1st LP "Edge Of Time" (Argo, 1972) in Jan (2014) what a stellar cast - Lowther, Wheeler, Pyne, Griffiths, Rutherford, Osborne, Skidmore, Themen, Ricotti, Taylor, Boyle, Laurence & Levin arrangements by Ardley, Surman & Warren This has been previously released on CD Dusk Fire will do a good transfer job as usual

saw him with David Murray's group (he replaced John Hicks in the "Black Saint Quartet") back in 2008 - played live here in Brisbane I was impressed & actually did a bit of net investigating & reading after the concert - put him on my to get list (but still haven't got around to sourcing his CDs - only have him on David Murray discs)

a big second for the Fontana New Jazz Series with those stunning Marte Rolling covers re the Lacy "Scratching" set - picked up my copy in 1999 from Forced Exposure for $40 - I remember it being not easy to source (for Australia) even then

That was my assumption and why I posted the link. I emailed Eastwind yesterday & received a quick response - they will be getting in copies of this & the new Eric Dolphy CD (Muses) ASAP - were released on Nov 25 in Japan Maximum Rare Records has copies listed (Japanese online dealer - been dealing with them for the past 2 years & service is good plus shipping rates are low) http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUD-POWELL-LIVE-BIRDLAND-1957-JAPAN-ISSUE-CD-999-Ltd-Ed-G00-/271332405871?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item3f2cabf26f I bought this from this seller on 11/29, still have not received shipping notice (or product) and have just sent my second request for an update (or refund if the item will not be available)...what is your experience with this seller's communication? My copies shipped yesterday (Powell & Dolphy) from Maximum Rare Records - there can sometimes be a delay between purchasing & shipping with this mob but they have always come through for me (including replying to emails) Thanks. Do you communicate through eBay, or is there another avenue? both (ebay & direct email - see below) "eBay Member: ftfym65" <ftfym6_evn2758qjo@members.ebay.com>

sounds pretty good to my ears - check this blog site http://intoabluehaze.blogspot.it/2012/12/white-house-jazz-festival-live-in.html

I'm waiting for this too from the same vendor - have been keeping an eye on this daily for the past week or so & status keeps changing - you may suddenly find it'll be shipped in the next day or so (has happened to me before with Import CDs) can't imagine this will do a "hemphill"

the next batch of Japanese Bethlehems were released yesterday (Dec 11) & already a number are OOP on the CD Japan site (Shavers/Sullivan, Sachs, Jonah Jones, Socolow, Mann - Flamingo) hopefully they should all be available via Dusty Groove (listed but not yet available)

many thanks for the link fitting accompaniment to the music
