A farewell to another of the masters

OMG!! A new Joe Harriott twofer "Movement" (1964) & "High Spirits" (1965) - remastered from the original stereo tapes & claiming to be the first stereo issues of both these sessions - made my day

Unfortunately I cannot download it - there is no download function on the page Have emailed them - wait & see (currently a WVIP member) Anyone else been able to download this? I record their streams into FLAC while playing with Ripcorder Audio. Works pretty well for me. here's the response I got from WV Hi Stephen, Right now, this Miles Davis, Newport 1967 concert is only available for streaming. We are doing our best to make as much available as we can, taking into account the need to establish all proper agreements, rights and permissions from artists before doing so. If you click on the link below, you'll see an download icon on the concerts that are available for purchase: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/miles-davis/ Thanks, Evan

Remember that series well - even bought the book that mirrored it (& still have it) He almost didn't make it in 1999 after his horrific car accident in Northern Australia - a lot of recuperation was required after that I'll miss him

I have a few times but I'm trying to track down the original Daagnim CDs, not CDRs that are available from the site I have a few of his CDRs (eary Daagnim LPs) & a couple are faulty/distorted

The UK sites are even better (Rarewaves & Zoverstocks) for us in Australia Monk - 13.49 & 13.51 pounds Mingus - 22.84 & 22.86 pounds

Going through a DG phase at present Was wondering if anyone has DG Daagnim CDs they would like to part with Already have Nile River Suite (09) & Home (06) He has a terrific website with lots of digital (& the occasional analogue) goodies You can still pick up Daagnim vinyl - have a couple of his early LP's en route to Australia

Start here: I'll second that. But don't stop there! I highly recommend all of his recent "Pi" recordings

1-0QA+19, Duet, Colors In Thirty-Third, Family Talk, Song For All Muhal was at the top of my list (with Julius) so I'm overjoyed I was afraid they wouldn't do a full Abrams set - looks like these are mostly large group/orchestra sessions

CDs arrived - all in lovely condition thanks again

spelt wrong (again) & he's not in the picture!!

Just been informed by Mosaic (Fred) that the Mingus set won't be released till mid October Looks like my big order (Goodman, Hawkins & Mingus) won't come till November now!!

RIP Larance - he had such a standout name Didn't realise I had so much material containing his drumming

There are 8 titles (7 live - some edited, 1 studio) on the Columbia LP (2416/9216) I don't think the Columbia "Misterioso" has ever had a US CD release possibly all 8 titles have been released on US CD's Honeysuckle Rose was released on the triple CD box "The Columbia Years" That just leaves "Well You Needn't" - quartet live at Brandeis Uni (Feb 27, 1965) -> lots of unreleased tracks from this concert (I'm surprised Sony has never released the lot) That may also be in the 3CD box - there is a version of this track on Disc 3 but I don't own this set & don't have more details - can anyone check? The "Misterioso" CD is now included in the Euro/UK Monk set "Original Album Classics, Vol 2" - 5CDs - Misterioso/Live in Tokyo (2CD's)/Monk/Monk's Blues This refers to the Riverside "Misterioso" - we're discussing the Columbia one

just got an email from Hazel & my copy was shipped yesterday (will take a week plus to get to the Antipodean shores)

Just received an email from Hazel Miller (Ogun) - she attended Lol's funeral today Very sad day for her

Can't find any reference (Lord Discography, jazzdisco) to SG performing Steeplechase (even Easy Swing) - maybe the title is wrong?

Any advice/input on the Goodman Orchestra Okeh/Columbia set - Is this worth getting? Have earmarked the Hawkins & upcoming Mingus (got a fantastic tax return this year) plus or minus the BG box - how essential is this Looking at the Lord Discography most of the sessions in the box have missing titles (all vocals) - some included in other sets (eg Mildred Bailey) Never been a huge fan of BG though I do have the Mosaic Capitol Small Groups - my particular interest with him is the Wardell Gray connection (have a lot of this material) & Charlie Christian (have the 4CD box plus the JSP live set & the uptown) Is the big band/Orchestra material on par with say Basie or Ellington? (or is this a chalk & cheese comparison)

$26.00 "used-like new" is a little more reasonable. You may want to put it on an Amazon wish list and watch it over time. I picked up this set used but the discs were mint for $16.00. I wanted it but wasn't "hot" for it so I just kept an eye on it from time to time for over a year when I got it at that couldn't pass it up price. Have been doing this for a couple of years now - have created Amazon (US & UK) wish lists which I add to (and subtract when I score) but also check every other day - picked up some great bargains (especially via Zoverstocks)

Thanks romualdo. I e-mailed Hazel yesterday about this and am waiting for her to confirm the price. In her email she noted that she would not be available from july 11 to the 18 (medical reasons)

You can buy this directly from Ogun (Hazel Miller <ogunrecords@googlemail.com>) for 11 pounds (includes shipping) Received an email from Hazel only last week

Please excuse the ignorance but would some kind person explain what "tape print" is & how does this "contamination" occur I bought this CD when it was first reissued - may have to listen to it again
