Import CDS have the Shorter Columbia Box for $22.45

Thanks - now noted in the book's index!

Colin I considered that before I posted Tried searching for Hat Art & Hat Hut but nothing came up - Am I doing something wrong? Generally I don't have much luck finding previous threads by searching within organissimo - have had better luck by searching via google to find the old thread Any hints/help would be most appreciated

Corbett vs Dempsey have just reissued two early Joe McPhee Hat Huts 1. Glasses - live solo (plus one duo percussion) Switzerland, 1977 2. Variations On A Blue Line/'Round Midnight - live solo France, 1977 They come as foldout digipaks with nicely done repros of the original LP covers You can get these directly from CvsD (Dusty Groove also stock them) http://corbettvsdempsey.com/CDs.html just love those digipaks - great spacesavers though not as good as digital

was given a copy of this book recently (A Power Stronger Than Itself) - havn't had a chance to read it yet but there is no mention of Zappa or Mothers in the Index (doesn't mean it's not in the text though)

Received the Japanese CD a couple of days ago & listened to it tonight (with & without headphones) - what a disappointment - it sounds like a "needle drop" with continuous background sound on many of the tracks. Maybe it's just the poor initial recording (as Brownie mentions) Regarding Japanese needle drops, they do exist - I have a DIW Ayler CD (The First Recordings, Vol. 2) that is definitely a "drop" - you can hear pops/crackles throughout most of the disc Anyone else had a listen yet?

Have the Impulse LPs "The Definitive Jazz Scene" Vols 1-3 ever been released on CD (even Japan?) I know a number of the tracks have been added to the appropriate albums that the sessions originally came from (GRP & later 90's digipak Impulses) the majority of the recent 24bit reissues (Impulse Originals, twofers & Japanese Universals) omit the extras & follow the original LP format

I've just received an email from James Harrod (Pacific Jazz afficonado) who comments on "Extension" Yes. I acquired this new release. I am puzzled why the percussion accent (sounds like a drum stick hitting a snare rim) on CANTO AFRICANO was deleted in this new transfer. It is quite prominent on the original vinyl and Fischer CD reissue (right channel) of a few years ago. Have there been any comments online about this? Jonathan, can you shed any light on this? Also, what do you think of rereleasing Charles Brackeen's "Rhythm X" - can you get access to Strata East material

been a fan of his since the early 70's but the one thing that bugged me about him was his homophobia (went beyond satire) Chuck's experience with him is a shocker!!

Just received an order from ImportCDs & one of the items was a Candid Benny Bailey CD -> looks like this is a CDr with a cheap/flimsy (almost photocopy like) slick. All of the Candids I have purchased so far (up until a month or so ago) were "proper" pressings Anyone else experienced this recently - the last entry in this thread goes back to 2008 & I have obtained quite a number of non CDr Candids in that time Maybe it's only the more obscure Candids that are being repressed as CDr runs (lower numbers)

"Folkjokeopus" - That's the title of a Roy Harper LP (1969) - probably took the name from the record

pm sent on Gerald Wilson- "New York New Sound" Open but unplayed. Hole punch in UPC $6 Gerald Wilson- "Monterey Moods" Open but unplayed. Hole punch in UPC $3 Gerald Wilson- "In My Time" Open, unplayed. Hole punch in UPC $4 World Saxophone Quartet- "Political Blues" New sealed, hole punch in upc $3 World Saxophone Quartet- "Requiem for Julius" Open, mint. Drill mark in case $4

I know this is a bit off the topic (but not too distant) I remember a hairdresser here in Brisbane in the 70's called "HAIR-OSHIMA" Their logo was a woman's head with an atomic mushroom cloud emerging from the top of it!! Won the weekly "Golden Galah" award in our University mag

Picked up two Contemporary 10" LP's last week Gillespie's "Dizzy In Paris" (C2504) -> Blue coloured coat (were there 2 cover versions? - one with a blue coat & the other yellow) Henri Renaud's "Modern Sounds: France" (C2502) I've never seen 60 year old 10" LP's in such beautiful condition before (mint -) Not something you usually find in Brisbane, Australia Actually, 10" Jazz LP's hardly ever turn up here.

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?

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
