romualdo

my friend in Japan came through & managed to source two of the bonus CDs (arrived today) - The AJQ Three Penny Opera & Tommy Watt Orchestra (with Tubby Hayes) An added bonus that they sent me is a booklet of the complete series (155 discs plus the 6 bonus ones) - a pic & description (in Japanese) of each release I'm so impressed with this series that I've been slowly buying lots of 10 from HMV Japan (have almost 130 of them) - currently landing them for approx $12 (Aus) - once the batch is more than a year old, HMV drop the price to 810Yen (multi buy special offer)

Oh Yeah!! - "Mother Sky" to the max Can were my fav "rock" band throughout the early 70's (just ahead of King Crimson) Loved Jaki's drumming - always thought he was more of a jazz drummer (played with Schoof & GUO in the 60's) - maybe that's why I liked the band so much

Just received an email from Leo Records - new Sun Ra double release coming up - doesn't appear to be listed on the Leo Website yet GY 30/31 Sun Ra; Live in Ulm, 1992 The music world is marking 100th anniversary of Sun Ra's birthday. We are happy to join the celebration by releasing the performance in Ulm, Germany, in 1992. This double CD documents the concert as it happened — 100 minutes of relentless drive, 17 compositions with hardly any poses between the pieces.

My box arrived today (Australia) Have listened to disc 1 (Town Hall) & very happy with SQ (though I don't have anything older to compare it to) The booklet is a treasure-trove of information - some of Avakian's anecdotes/reminiscences are a real hoot what a gem of a box

Hey man, i haven't had a chance to catch up with my friend that went... he's not a full on jazz/improv head but knowing him i'm sure he would have loved it. Here's a review with some pictures from a local blogger: http://www.elsewhere.co.nz/livereviews/6315/peter-brotzmann-silo-park-auckland-may-3-2014/ I actually felt pretty down about missing the show, wish i hadn't been so casual about it. It prompted me to go all out and book everything i needed to book to travel to Wellington and see Corea/Burton play on this coming Friday night. Couldn't stand to miss another once in a lifetime type thing. What a coincidence - I'm seeing Corea/Burton next Wednesday here in Brisbane

Found some footage of Brotz live in Auckland (NZ) What a bummer you missed the concert, Xybert (just saw your post from May) - do you know anyone who witnessed a concert in NZ? I never did get the chance to fly over from Australia

I've been using CD inner sleeves for years - thin & very protective (sounds like an ad for condoms) get them from http://store.soundsourcecds.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_73&products_id=212 Australian LPs (70's & 80's) came in this style of sleeve

here's a second for great SQ on these Blakey discs

PM on Tenors Lovers NYC '86 Wilber Force

if anyone else is looking for this set there is a sealed copy on Amazon US for 49.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000EQH2Q0/ref=sr_1_2_np_1_main_olp?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1401693895&sr=1-2&condition=new

Not a major but Peckin' Time is included in the Mosaic set. The Mosaic is indeed great. Amen to that!!

I've ordered the Monk "It Club" LP set - had my eye on this for a while now

Wonderful slice of jazz history & genealogy - love the pic of "younger" Duke Didn't realise there was a US version of the show - we get the UK production here in Australia

Any comments on his 2 Revelation LPs, "That's Him & This Is New" (trio) & "Taurus" (sextet), 1969 & 1973 respectively These haven't made it to CD - maybe we should convince Jonathan Horwich to give them a digital release

He plays on a previously unreleased 64 Pacific Jazz session as part of the Joe Pass Quartet with Bill Perkins added (Pass Mosaic set)

wow!! what a shock I only viewed the movie last week (had known about it for some time though) & was in tears by the end of it As has been previously mentioned he was quite popular here in Australia (probably not as big as SA) - I think he might have charted both of his LPs sold well in Australia, even into the 80s Actually, this last weekend I was with a group of friends & the movie was discussed - two of the group (of 8) had owned the album (Cold Fact)

All titles on the LP were live except for "Honeysuckle Rose" which had fake applause overdubbed by Teo Macero & listed as live at the Village Gate This was actually from a trio studio date (March 2, 1965). This take (#2) has only ever been released on this LP (plus a euro CD). An alternate take (#1) from the same session was released on the 3CD "Columbia Years 62-68" set. Also, "Evidence" was listed as being from the Tokyo, Japan 63 concert (on the LP & earlier discographies) but other discographies list it as being recorded at the Philharmonic Hall with the Big Band in 1963 - I think it was the former Anyone with an original LP that can have a listen - is it a quartet or Big Band? http://www.discogs.com/Thelonious-Monk-Misterioso-Recorded-On-Tour/release/5556263

Many thanks

Firstly, is anybody in possession of an earlier CD release of Betty Roche's "Take The "A" Train" There were 2 previously unreleased alternate takes (actually 3) listed as "Go Away Blues" included on the CD The recent Japanese Solid release has 2 alternates (plus a 45 sec breakdown) of "I Just Got The Message, Baby" instead of the above I'm wondering if "Go Away Blues" is actually "I Just Got The Message, Baby" & has been mislabelled on these earlier CDs I'd appreciate someone who has a copy having a listen for me & reporting back -> will help to modify/correct the Lord Discography Secondly, "Summertime" has been listed as being part of this session but has only (AFAIK) been released a the flip side to Bethlehem 45 11054 (a side "I Just Got The Message, Baby") I'm wondering if this version of "Summertime" is they same one that is on the Porgy & Bess LP (Roche vo & Howard McGhee tp) & not part of this session (Conte Candoli was on tp) Any Bethlehem single collectors out there that could have a listen to the 45 or digitalise the track & send me an MP3 - either would be greatly appreciated

listening to the disc while burning it for me?

oh yeah!!!

Pete your books finally reached Australian shores last week via Florida All in lovely condition Thanks again

for preorders, does Mosaic charge us upfront or is the charge made when the item is available/shipped I've never preordered before

I ended up getting most of the box via the individual CD releases over the years - happy with that
