romualdo

Like others here, I picked up my copy without a slipcase (early 2006) Just looked at the hand written receipt by Hazel - it was only £13

Any updates on the Savory collection? I've just read that the collection contains recordings of the first Randall's Island Jazz Festival (May 29, 1938) - 25 Swing Bands played including Ellington & Basie Hope Mosaic (or similar) can get involved & hopefully release this material before the end of the decade

There were 334 titles in the LP box & 230 titles released in the CD series That leaves 104 & of these there are only 6 or 7 alts (take into account my mathematical error) So there are 97 or 98 non digitalised titles (apart from some released on other labels - Washington, Willie Smith) & these are all in the FS box (just checked) - definitely worth getting if you don't have the LP set

Just had a look at the track details at the Fresh Sound Site Unfortunately (or fortunately for some) there are no alternate takes (that's over 90 titles missing) I'm wondering if the take of Coleman Hawkins "Cattin' At Keynote" on this set will the the 78 master take that was omitted from the 21LP box?

RIP Stan have fond memories of seeing him live here in Brisbane sometime during the 90's (got a tape of the concert somewhere) I think it was a tour to promote his Blue Note CD "Portraits Plus" his work with Evan Parker on his psi label is worth a listen (good late period material)

Sam has so many single word "C" albums, it confuses me Concept, Contours, Crosscurrent, Crystals, Culmination, Contrasts Any more??

got a reply from Chris Albertyn who runs the Electric Jive blog (what a great site) regarding the "Ian Bruce Huntley" tapes (56hrs) think I'lll probably purchase the book too There is already quite a bit of the audio up on the blog site - but blogger as whole seems to be having issues with its search function. However if you google "IBH Jazz Archive" you should find quite a few of the links referenced. I am hoping that the full audio (the full 'discography' is printed in the book) will become accessible and public by the end of January 2014 - depends upon how much time I can steal from my day job. There will be a full set of pages dedicated to the IBH jazz archive, (visual, written and audio) and over time Ian and I have agreed that we would like to get more and more of his photos up on the site - the book contains 120 images that Ian selected - but there are lots of other important photos, including Dizzy Gillespie live in Lesotho.

You're welcome, Mike! I forget his name at the moment, but as I recall the violinist for Caravan later joined Penguin Cafe. Geoffrey Richardson

someone needs to snap up that RRK box

use the site frequently - recommended

My copy has all 24 tracks

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 also the Dolphy http://www.ebay.com/itm/ERIC-DOLPHY-MUSES-JAPAN-ISSUE-CD-999-Ltd-Ed-G00-/370952491518?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item565e7dd1fe these ain't cheap (all prices are 2600-2800 yen or $30 to $33 US on all dealers I've come across) - still think they're worth it, esp the Dolphy with the unreleased track (Muses) & alternates

just saw this in the Dolphy newsgroup - RIP Chico recently watched his interview on the Jazz Baroness DVD

check the photos for sale (ebay) from Burt Goldblatt's collection Lots of bidding for the Lester Young proof sheet, also some nice Eric Dolphy http://www.ebay.com/sch/roundagain/m.html?item=221322187607&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

RIP Nate had been listening to you recently on a Kamau Daaood CD (Leimert Park)

bringing up the Lenox School of Jazz thread again can anyone verify what vinyl was originally released from the 59 date (Aug 29) - an Atlantic test pressing has been mentioned & for sale (see above - unfortunately the link to ebay no longer exists) The Lord discography also mentions a "special LP, not for sale" - I wonder if he is referring to the test pressing? Discogs also mentions a privately pressed LP & a repressed Italian facsimile (does this reuse the original LP cover) - if it was only a test pressing, I can't imagine a properly designed cover was made) http://www.discogs.com/Ornette-59-Lenox-School-Of-Jazz/release/4368556 Were all 11 titles (in circulation on the 2 CDs) released on this mysterious LP (LPs)? So, was there a private pressing with that amazing cover plus a test pressing for Atlantic Michael Fitzgerald's site does not discuss the LP/LPs (AFAIK)

No, that was genuine - my copy shipped today (was on backorder) & at that price

Yep, we've got it pretty good here (apart from shipping costs) I've been buying LPs & CDs internationally since the mid 80's & have only been hit with customs duty once (back in 86 & it was the Frank Zappa Old Masters Box 1) I remember being slightly apprehensive when waiting for the Ellington RCA box but nothing eventuated

Even their colonial cousins weren't spared - anyone remember the Australian table wine sketch I remember at University & parties in the early 70's people reciting verbatim various MP skits (in retrospect, they were probably on the spectrum)

And its available! Gotta get it. Required listening if you're into the "free" stuff. there are excellent live WDR quintet (including Tchicai) recordings that fill the gap (70-74) in his discography - should be officially released

What I suspect they'll eventually do is to sell both as a significantly reduced double set (Amazon US is currently offering this but at $105 i.e. the same price as the individual items)

Here's a screen shot from my Lord Discography looks like it's the 6 titles from the Dec 66 session (confirmed by Grooves listing) but no Kuhn material that was on the Avantgarde CD Looks like The 2 titles from Sept 67 (also on the FMP LP) haven't had a CD release
