oh no!! RIP JJ

I just wondered why he re-issued it with a new catalogue number if it's exactly the same as Emanem 4107. Anyway, I can live in hope, can't I? Are they remastered ?

totally agree - I much prefer the card sleeves to plastic jewel cases also terrific sleeve designs & essays

I thought the Gheim CD is a straight reissue of the previous CD release - that's great if there is more material I'd actually been looking for a second hand copy of the earlier OOP CD

Just heard the news on the radio, immediately thought of Dead Poets Society & teared up RIP Robin

Emanem will be releasing (September) a double Lacy CD set "Cycles" (1976-80) http://www.emanemdisc.com/E5205.html Mostly unreleased but 5 titles were previously released as part of the double Hat Art LP "Ballets" There are also 3 unreleased titles from this session (Dec 18, 1980 - Porrentruy) completing Disc 2 Also, later this month we'll see "Avignon and After - 2" (1972-77)

Many thanks Jeff pity we don't know who the other musicians were

The same version of "Count Every Star" was released on 3 US CDs plus the Mosaic Green/Clark - there wasn't an alternate take 1. Complete quartets of Green & Clark (2CD) 2. GG's "Born To Be Blue" 3. IQ's "Blue & Sentimental" (McMaster & RVG)

I've had nothing but good experiences with them (6 orders since late 2012) They always reply to emails Will order items (that are not listed) on request Promptly replaced a damaged (cracked) CD plus even replaced a damaged CD that I hadn't purchased from them (no response from the original vendor)

Umar Ali !! I've had my copy for over a week now (ex Jazz Messengers) - SQ is much better (official tapes) than the incomplete spanish version (taken from the radio broadcast) If it's Rashied and Muhammad's brother, it's Omar. Unfortunately the booklet has the misspelling (multiple times) i.e. Umar

got a batch of the UCCQ's (75th anniversary) last week - just trying to fill the gaps but I also had to try out the Greens (Oleo, Matador & Gooden's Corner) & Mobleys (Poppin' & Curtain Call) They do sound much better than the 90's pressings Listening right now to the extra unreleased material on the Patton "Blue John" disc - surprised it wasn't released back in the 90's

Just received the email from Pop Market It's Black Lion material remastered by Bernie Grundman They've chosen 3 artists - Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis & Johnny Griffin - each has a 3LP set (one 33rpm & 2x45 rpm LPs) - technically not MD but actually Ann Hathaway & Earl Coleman sessions It looks like the 2 45rpm LPs contain the same material as the 33 rpm LP - appears to aimed at audiophiles OTT IMHO!!!

I see they have the box for 185 euros - not too bad I got my copy from Amazon UK (last year) when they spot dropped the price (got it for £154) but now its back over £250 (appears to be the long term standard price for Amazon UK) It may be worth keeping an eye on the UK site if you are keen - they may do it again

From my experience when an item is not in stock, it disappears from the database then reappears once they reobtain it So, if its listed there is a highly likely chance that its in stock

Umar Ali !! I've had my copy for over a week now (ex Jazz Messengers) - SQ is much better (official tapes) than the incomplete spanish version (taken from the radio broadcast)

i was lucky enough to meet & converse with him when he played here in Brisbane in the late 90's He had that special "aura" about him Really miss him - can't believe it's 10 years since his passing

wow!! - never heard of this one - not listed on Michael's website or the Lord Discography looks like the sort of thing Johnny Trunk would rerelease on his label would have been even nicer if Joe Harriott was present

looks promising & "official" but appears to be vinyl only??

Gerald (Duke's nephew) has just posted this on his Facebook page I asked him how he was progressing with his "lost tapes" "Still researching them.Some are outakes and spoken words in the studio.Might have stumbled upon a treasuretrove of some mighty hip grooves.Anyone out there with,a 8 mm reel to reel !"

Great - I'll be picking that up

what a shock - didn't realise he had been unwell RIP Charlie well put ep1str0phy

Buck Clayton Jam Sessions - Wow!! this is sooo good Many thanks for the sale Hank

Still waiting. Seems a natural fit... It would get my vote. Same here but I'm still hanging out for the Giuffre and/or Konitz Verve sets that were mentioned by Michael years ago

I'm surprised this material wasn't picked up by the "Lounge Core" scene of the 80's/90's (Martin Denny, Melachrino, Esquivel etc etc) Maybe they just weren't available at the time (as CD reissues)

Currently listening to the two recent Frank Minion Bethlehem (Japanese Solid) reissues - mighty impressive - really digging him what a vocalese discovery for me Any other takers out there? Also going through a Bethlehem vocal binge - more obscure favourites are Terry Morel, Audrey Morris, Sallie Blair, Marilyn Moore (recorded very little material)
