The Chase & the Steeplechase Decca 10" (with Dexter)has been reissued today in Japan (Universal "nice price" CD) Have been hanging out for this one for some time now. The earlier Japanese CD reissue (early 2000's) was out of my price range.

Agreed, and perhaps best experienced on this disc. The Classics Hawkins series contains 44 tracks from the European stay and Neatwork issued 21 alternates. The Affinity Box set, Coleman Hawkins The Complete Recordings 1929-1941 is far from complete (eg there's nothing from the Fletcher Henderson band!) but it has 50 European recordings and 23 alternates. The 2006 Ted Kendall remastered JSP 4CD box (The essential sides remastered 1929-1939) has 47 UK/Euro titles (4 are from a Benny Carter led session) but no alts

What a pity National treasures relegated to the bin Upsets (& angers) me whenever I read this sort of outcome but alas I'm not familiar with the details of his story

Any love out there for Charles Brackeen? Hasn't recorded for a while now - is he still active? Would love to get my hands on a copy (CD preferably) of Rhythm X (Strata East) - was released in Japan (Bomba) in the early/mid 90's & also through Strata East (when?) - I never see it second hand Jonathan Horwich should reissue this on his International Phonograph label - maybe I should add this to that thread (if I can find it again) Just ordered some CD's from Nobusiness Records (Lithuania) - I mentioned Brackeen in my email & this was the reply from Danas Mikalilionis "I am planing to release Evan Parker trio next March, also will be putting out a double CD and vinyl of Melodic Art-Tet where Charles Brackeen played together with Ahmed Abdullah back in 70s. He has recently been discovered by his fellow musicians, so who knows, maybe he'll start playing again" Has the Melodic Art-Tet been previously released on vinyl or will this be a first?

Iplesti time to get out & play my "Ebony Eyes" 45

All titles (16) from the April 15, April 20 & June 20 were released in 1998 on the Vogue Digipak (Original Vogue Masters - black series) "Coleman Hawkins/Johnny Hodges - The Vogue Recordings" All titles (16) from the April 15, April 20 & June 20 were released in 1998 on the Vogue Digipak (Original Vogue Masters - black series) "Coleman Hawkins/Johnny Hodges - The Vogue Recordings"

He's on an Akira Sakata disc titled 'Fisherman.com' with Laswell & Hamid Drake. Great disc, very hard to find. Sad day!! - RIP Pete he also played on Herbie Hancock's "Future Shock" (1983)

I had previously asked (via email) Michael C about a WG set - he was non commital - that was a few years ago now

Been buying from CD Japan for the past 3 years (TOCJ's, Atlantics/Warner & Verve/Universals) Excellent prices & service with very reasonable shipping charges (to Australia) Landing a lot of these CD's for $13-15 Aussie $'s Have also tried HMV japan - shippin charges are higher here

oops!! forgot to enter the link when I posted last night thanks for covering for me

just received an email from James Accardi notifying that the site (in beta mode) has just gone up looks great - about to delve into it Best of luck James & Stuart

I have 6 or 7 cd's. I don't think the set with Pat Metheny was released. The Montreal Tapes - 6CD set (released 2009 by Universal France) Picked it up via Ebay a couple of years back (was much cheaper then) Indeed, the Metheny set was not included here Best prices now are via Amazon France or Canada

very nice!! - will be snapping that up (some overlap with the US Savoy compilation though)

received an email from Cleanfeed today with the news Sad - too young to leave us!!

finally a Promising release I've been really hanging out for!!!

OK, it makes sense now thanks

Flurin I presume that's the Black Lion session (Jan 65) It's been rereleased on the budget Jazz Colours label (subsidiary of Black Lion?) 2CD's worth (approx 20 titles) - had these on my wants list for a while

I'm going through a BW phase at present - listening to quite a bit of his material (Emarcy double & lots of his verve material) Any recommendations re this 8CD set covering the mid 60's to the early 70's - european & some NYC material Also, his Circle recordings from the mid 40's are on a Progressive CD -> looks interesting but is it worth getting?

Any comments on sound quality

Agree!!! Hopefully Cam Jazz will do a Black Saint box in the near future

Heard it on the radio on the way to work this am what a bummer - way too young to go - RIP

I bought the vinyl when these sets came out in the mid/late 80's (7 double LP's) - fantastic music but the sound wasn't the greatest but hopefully there may have been an improvement on the CDs

totally agree A small amount of this has been released on the audio CD that comes with Steven Isoardi's text "The Dark Tree - Jazz & The Community Arts in Los Angeles" I presume that's where the material for this CD came from?

Jonathan Are you having second thoughts re the Tapscott reissue or am I misinterpreting "and the Giant Awakens probably" I'm currently reading Horace's biography "Songs Of The Unsung" & he mentions (p 115) an unreleased/unfinished album "We recorded The Giant Is Awakened and part of another album that I never finished" - wonder if those tapes are extant or were they erased Would be nice if they could be added to the original LP if they do still exist

wonderful, wonderful
