This is exciting - I have no Beehive material & looks like most of the material is quality - looking forward to this one

The earlier copies of the 50th anniversary disc released in June had the bonus track at the wrong speed - It was repressed in September with the 5th track at correct speed So, there are going to be a few dud CDs circulating. Martin carries the corrected version http://www.emanemdisc.com/other.html

What a read - funny & disturbing - we even have/had Radio Shack stores here in Australia love the Bill Gates Spider joke at the end

There are MANY photographs in circulation that make you think so. OTOH, if a young Earle Warren and, above all, Lena Horne, are found to be African American when looking at their pictures, then there is no reason why Jackie McLean isn't. Wow! - I never realised that Earle was African American

A complete "Four Days In December" would make a great box set (Mosaic?) - probably too difficult to get all of the material together - wonder how much of it was recorded - I think Jerry Newman did some of the concerts Sun Ra, Paul Bley, Cecil Taylor, Bill Dixon, Jazz Composers Guild Orchestra, Archie Shepp Quartet with Charles Tolliver & Marion Brown, Free Form Improvisation Ensemble (Alan Silva, Burton Greene), New York Art Quartet Four NYA4 tracks were recently released on the Triple Point 5LP set plus other material has been released on the Fontana LPs (JCO) ps: found some more info in Campbell's "Earthly Recordings Of Sun Ra" - The complete series of concerts was recorded by The Jazz Composer's Guild who were planning to release a sampler on their own label & possibly all of the material but the Guild broke up & the releases never came to fruition but there were plans to release material on the Fontana Series. The Sun Ra material (in part) from Dec 31 was released on Saturn 165 with 5 extra titles added to the 2009 ESP CD "Sun Ra Featuring Pharaoh Sanders & Black Harold"

here's a link to the Electric Jive site - appears to be still available http://electricjive.blogspot.com.au/p/ibh-audio-archive-posts.html

wow!! don't believe it - just made my day So, they must have had the tapes all along - hope it's not going to be a needle drop - that's not something that Dutton/Vocalion would do

Just found a copy of the above with my Charlie Parker literature - I'd dated it Oct 1, 2003 - this must have come with my corrected disc to replace the "Chipmunk" version as it was called at the time.

yes please!! love his work Picked up both of those late 90's releases at the time when we had shops here in Brisbane that had a good jazz repertoire His recent Lithuanian "No Business" releases "Solo In Vilnius" (2CD) & "The Complete Short Stories 1998-2010" (6CD) are highly recommended IMHO

On The Sunny Side Of The Street. Same as Back at the Chicken Shack RVG? many thanks looks like I'll give this a miss as I have the "Back At The Chicken Shack" RVG plus the recent "awful cover" LT series "On The Sunny Side" - don't need it a third time

Does anyone know what the extra title on Jimmy Smith's "Midnight Special +1" is The RVG of this didn't contain extra material - I know the titles were from two sessions that also yielded the LP "Back At The Chicken Shack"

At last ! Great that Vocalion will be doing the CD issue, if that is the case. They did wonders with 'Movement/High Spirits'. Here's hoping - if the original LP release was mono only, Vocalion will probably do a first time stereo release as they have with a few of their reissues, including Movement/High Spirits

I'm interested in the Sergey Kuryokhin live USA 7CD set & the Nabatov Herbie Nichols tribute

Giant is finally up on Import CDs though not in stock at present

Thought I'd revive this 10 year old thread Been listening to the Vocalion CD twofer "Harold McNair" & "Flute & Nut" - didn't realise he was a contemporary of Joe Harriott (both attended the Alpha Boys school/home) It's a pity Island hasn't made much of an effort on their jazz back catalogue i.e. SME's Karyobin (has been on Chronoscope but now OOP), Basil Kirchin's Worlds Within Worlds and of course the above McNair session with Ornette's sidemen Has anyone heard this? This 2006 popsike auction netted £351 (pic of LP included here) ps - just found another copy that sold for £670 in 2009!! http://www.popsike.com/Harold-McNair-Affectionate-Fink-RARE-UK-JAZZ-LP-ISLAND/380174959975.html

You can (in Australia) - the problem is that portable oxygen cylinders are small & don't last long One of my sons was a 25 weeker premmie & was on oxygen, at home, for 6 months after spending 5 months in neonatal intensive care post partum I used to take him on public transport without any issues, but that was back in 1992 Maybe with new terrorism issues since 9/11, an oxygen cylinder could be considered a weapon (not the case here AFAIK)

Just had a listen to the powerman 5000 track sounds like they are coming from a similar vibe as Dave Graney!! (amazing songwriter & totally cool dude) One listen & Dave came immediatly to mind http://www.thedavegraneyshow.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Graney He's one of Australia's lesser known gems - been around (with his partner Claire Moore) since the late 70's - contemporaries of the Bad Seeds, Go-Betweens etc Various Bands he has led: Moodists, White Buffaloes, Coral Snakes, Dave Graney Show, Lurid Yellow Mist, The Mistly He's mixes a combination of folk/rock/jazz/lounge-core - Claire plays drums/vibes/xyl I usually get to see him once a year during one of his Australian tours - he's been on the road for over 35 years now You should be able to find a lot of his clips on YouTube - one of my favourite titles is "I've Got Dimensions" - below is a YouTube link of a live version in 2005 ps. That Serge Gainsbourg clip with the dancer is an absolute scream

Still no mention of "The Giant…" on Import CDs though it's available through Amazon US & UK, Dusty Groove (currently OOS), Downtown Music Gallery & even Ebay I've bought all of Jonathan's previous releases through them & the CDs have all been advertised weeks before release date - wonder what's happening here DMG lists it as a limited edition of 1000 copies!! - more hype or is that the case Jonathan?

One of my favourite M's !! That was my second Mosaic (after the Mingus Candid) back in 1993 - can't believe that's over 20 years ago now I managed to get Steve Lacy to autograph the booklet (smack bang in the middle of Denis Charles bass drum ) when he played here in Brisbane sometime in the late 90's

Just got the email too - looking forward to that NYA4 set I got that e-mail too - BUT I can't find the CDs on their website. E-mailed - waiting for reply. This is often the case with their new releases listed on the catalogue/brochure - they may not be on their online database for a few days to a week or so

Many thanks - just ordered a set - had this on my wants list !!

Just got the email too - looking forward to that NYA4 set

Wow, this is going to be a hard call - I've got all of this material except for Garner Bird Savoy/Dial Atlantic set & the UK Spotlite CDs

The Mosaic set has 21 tracks (from 5 live sets) Sing Song Room, Confucius Restaurant, NYC The Gambit CD contains the 18 tracks that were released on the Double LP "The Lennie Tristano Quartet" (Atl 7006 - 13 titles) & the single LP "Tristano" (Atl 1224 - 5 titles) - excludes the three titles released on the Mosaic set (further 20mins of music )

The French "Fou Records" label has just released a live? recording of this quartet at the Theatre Dunois, Paris in July of 82 http://www.allumesdujazz.com/albums/Bailey_Leandre_Lewis_Parker_Dunois_82_1888_68_5
