Looks interesting - don't have any Drake on CD only have the 1986 Fruit Tree box containing the 4 LPs - may be worth upgrading to CD

One of my fave Australian groups "The Necks" are currently on a UK/Euro tour just played 3 sold out nights at Cafe Oto Radio Three organised a meeting between the Trio & Evan Parker (which was recorded & will be broadcast on Nov 21) - read the details in Richard Williams blog "The Bluemoment" - he was present http://thebluemoment.com/2013/11/07/the-necks-in-london/#comments can't wait to hear this I usually get to see them once a year when they do their Australian tour

The Hawkins material appears to have originated from a Modern session(s) - Only two titles (of 10) were released on a Modern V/A LP "Jazz All Stars" M7027/MST827 The Lord Discography lists all 10 titles as being recorded in 1960 (very non specific) - may have been more than one session date? All titles were initially released on Crown (AFAIK)

The Hamilton & Baker discs are from various previously released Pacific Jazz sessions (CD/Mosaic boxes) The Hawkins looks interesting though it has been previously released on Boplicity - would have been nice if they had released the whole session (2 LP's The Hawk Sings & The Hawk Swings) on a single CD (or double)

It's good - shame that Vocalion or Ten To Ten (Clark Tracey's label) have not put this out on CD. Ownership rights issue, perhaps? The LP is recorded in a studio session at Lansdowne Studio but it covers the same Tracey charts as on the TV show (which was introduced by saxophonist/critic Benny Green). Slight digression here but while on the Harriott topic & unreleased material Hum Dono - was slated for release by Universal in 2005 (master tapes are probably still in existence?) [This is what has been posted on the Amancio D'Silva site, maintained by Stephano, for over two years: "Full re-release on CD by Universal music: expected Spring 2005"] Steph is also a guitarist. http://inconstantsol.blogspot.com.au/2008/02/joe-harriott-amancio-dsilva-quartet-hum.html

Well the first two Jazz on Film sets were on the Moochin' About label, so it's pretty confusing. Battle of the PD's. I have the first "Jazz on Film" box on Moochin' About and really like it, so will stick with them. Same here - I have the first 2 "Moochin' About" boxes - very happy with them. Also they are releasing a Chet Baker Set in December (listed on Amazon UK but not on the Moochin' About site yet) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jazz-Film-Chet-Baker-ICON-Featuring/dp/B00FXWC1NO/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1383621048&sr=1-4&keywords=jazz+on+film

Actually, I've just realised I have an original Australian pressing of this Columbia LP "We Love You Madly…" Don't think it's ever made it to CD

Have just found this amazing footage of Joe Harriott soloing with the Stan Tracey Big Brass (1969) First live recording I've ever seen of Joe

Which Rivers is in the set? I didn't manage to work that out... Streams

RIP Frank perchance, yesterday I received the Basie live Roulette set - lots of listening & here's to you

Just picked up a copy of the Basie live Roulette Mosaic (via ebay) Instead of a hand written number in the booklet we have the initials/letters WBGO -> does this refer to Newark jazz radio I presume this was a promo sent to the station - anyone come across this before Musn't have got any play as the discs were still sealed

What's the chance of a Volume 2? - really hoping for that (there is plenty of material for a few volumes)

Very Nice not listed on Dusty Groove yet (best place to get the Corbett vs Dempsey releases) Looks like it will supersede the 1999 Atavistic single CD release

Welcome to the site The 7CD Mosaic set "Columbia Jazz Piano Moods Sessions" was an immediate thought http://web.archive.org/web/20070818030229/http://www.mosaicrecords.com/prodinfo.asp?number=199-MD-CD It's out of print but is currently available on ebay & Amazon - bit pricey at present but I have seen it go for significantly lower prices in the past http://www.ebay.com/itm/THE-COLUMBIA-JAZZ-PIANO-MOODS-SESSIONS-MOSAIC-7-CD-BOX-MD7-199-SEALED-CDs-OOP-/140974316815?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item20d2b95d0f

This link has a history. They're British. I've watched the whole series (would download it as soon as it was aired in the US) but can't seem to recall this Yep, very groooovy & cheeeesy has a Scott Walker ambiance in parts

go for the Odyssey set Ah yes, but is it available anywhere? buy it through Discogs / Vogel-Music-Sales (that's where I bought my copy recently) There are still copies available http://www.discogs.com/sell/list?release_id=2219594&ev=rb

go for the Odyssey set

Does anyone know the details of the "falling out" that occurred between EP & DB (in the late 70's or 80's?) - has this been covered on any of the forums here? Was it over musical "philosophical/theoretical differences"? Does Ben Watson discuss this in his book "Derek Bailey & The Story Of Free Improvisation"

???? Been there many times, and they have always been good to me as a customer. A weak joke - I mean the mind games over whether they have that disc in stock... I've had this experience with them a number of times - disc is listed in stock, I've placed an order only to be told that the item is not available I now email them re availability prior to placing an order

Sorry but no - minimal session notes for this recording except to say that it was recorded in both mono & stereo plus there was a three hour rehearsal at Nola Studio the day before the session

I've attached a scan of the "Blue Train" session taken from the JC Reference This is much more detailed than the BN Discographies (1st or 2nd editions) - don't think we can use these as "gospel" re what was unissued/rejected It's interesting to also note that Porter et all credit Michael Cuscuna for the session details (ie from the "horses mouth") - he would know about these unissued "alternates" It's probably likely that the Japanese are adding titles (alternates) that MC would not have considered adequate for release in the 80's/90's & 2000's Wonder if they consulted him Looks like they'll be releasing tk 7 of Blue Train

Import CDs has this for $44.99 I'll probably hold off on this - maybe see what the Australian price will be (they sold the Joni Mitchell box, another WB set, at rock bottom prices here) Wonder why they didn't do Astral Weeks first? - that's my favourite (probably wasn't as much a commercial success as Moondance but that's an album (Astral Weeks) I can listen to ad infinitum & not become weary)

I have volume 2. Great price, nice booklet, nice sounds. I skipped volume 1 because I already have most of those, and I believe I have everything on volume 3. I would not hesitate to buy these volumes if you don't already have the music. I have both volumes and they're excellent. Good sound and a really informative booklet. Even though I have most of what's on Vol. 3 I'll be getting it. I have both & am very happy with SQ & presentation - I wonder if the producers had access to original source material There's also a JOF Chet Baker 3CD Jazz On Film set (first in the "Jazz Icons" series) coming out in December (not listed on the JOF site yet but Amazon UK have it penned for release in early Dec) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jazz-Film-Chet-Baker-ICON-Featuring/dp/B00FXWC1NO/ref=sr_1_5?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1382397859&sr=1-5&keywords=jazz+on+film It may be worth waiting for the Baker to be released & JOF will probably do a double offer like the first 2 in the series (that's how I picked up my copies last year)

Oops!! - Should have pre read before I posted - That's what I meant

I think the alternate take (Don' Cry, Just Sigh) is on the Third Stream CD, not Slice Of The Top The CD is still available (CD Japan still has it listed)
