Wolfgang's Vault have just released (download as MP3's or FLAC's) a number of artists from Newport June 1976 (Carnegie Hall, NYC) 1. Anthony Braxton - Composition #70 (8 parts) Dedicated to Duke Ellington - 40 mins of music (musicians - Abrams, Lewis, Altschul & Holland) 2. Ted Curson Septet - 50 mins 3. Elvin Jones Quartet 4. George Coleman Septet

Looks like Set #5 is being released on September 20 can't find any individual album listings methinks this is an error - that's the same date of release as Vol. 4 A few sites have this release listed as Vol. 5!! this is getting confusing check the MTV site http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/coltrane_john/albums.jhtml?albumId=2740715 it shows Vols 4 & 5 (different covers) but both being released on Nov 1 So, is there a Vol. 5 in the wings??

pm sent on Coleman Hawkins - At Newport (Verve 50th Anniversary Edition) $5 J.J. Johnson - The Brass Orchestra (Verve) $5 Cecil Taylor - Algonquin (Bridge) $8 Cecil Taylor - All the Notes (Cadence) $8

What prompted my initial interest was the cover to Double or Nothin' - In small print was Liberty Lighthouse Series, Vol. 1 then recently I found an image of the cover to Drummin' the Blues & again in smaller print, Vol. 3...... Check this site - page from Billboard discussing the new deal between Rumsey & Liberty http://books.google.com.au/books?id=KiAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=liberty+lighthouse+series+jazz+records&source=bl&ots=OsPsD8a6yO&sig=8VKY81fbuyRJBupuOGKizldyo48&hl=en&ei=rwZNTvjcDOjhiAKH28l3&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=liberty%20lighthouse%20series%20jazz%20records&f=false Maybe the only to find out is to search relevant Liberty covers

Don't you think they would have made an exception for the "colonies"

In the late 50's (and beyond?) Howard Rumsey & Liberty were involved in releasing a series of LP's I know of 2 Vol. 1 - Lighthouse All Stars - Double Or Nothin' (recently released as Japanese TOCJ CD) Vol. 3 - Lighthouse All Stars - Drummin' The Blues (On Lonehill Jazz CD Jazz Structures) Anyone know how many were released in this series

wow - thanks for the link : I've never seen any footage of that show with FZ, only stills

what a coincidence - just been listening to "A Loose Kite .... " today & would you believe it or not the 40th anniversary "Wake of Poseidon" last week (slowly upgrading my KC vinyl - the 40th anniversary efforts are amazing, especially the DVD's) I have never understood the mixed & generally poor ratings attributed to these jazzier Crimso efforts (Lizard, Islands, Poseidon) - they contain a stellar cast of British Jazz musicians. Critics claim Islands has no cohesion but I totally disagree - it flows beautifully for me!

If this topic has already been covered elsewhere, maybe someone could merge this Wolfgang's Vault recently released (VOA recording?) the TM Lincoln Center Newport concert as a download (FLAC or MP3) I have the RLR (Spanish) double CD containing the concert but there appear to be marked (on some titles) timing differences between the two the WV timings generally are longer than the RLR CD - is the extra material just applause etc? Anyone have both of these & compared. I'm wondering what the source material for the RLR CD is (radio broadcast?)

that's great - with the VAT removed & free shipping to Australia it'll cost $22-23 Aus

totally agree - that footage is magic - as far as I can recall there is no audio for that section (havn't watched it for a while)

My treasure trove of CD's (17) reached Australian shores yesterday All in beautiful condition A pleasure dealing with you Eric

Just looked at my CD & it has 16 titles - 10 of these from Cabin In The Sky & does contain In My Old Virginia Home (3:42) - They're all there

I agree with Jeffcrom - all of those he has mentioned are recommended The Evidence CD label has a lot of his Saturn recordings(rereleased in the early-mid 90's). The other label worth mentioning is Art Yard (UK based - I think Chris Cutler is behind this - a spin off from Recommended Records). They have been releasing more of the Saturns since the late 2000's - great packaging & remastering. A recent double CD from ArtYard/Kindred Spirits is a Paris 1971 concert (THE PARIS TAPES - legitimately recorded)released last year for the first time - the music & sound quality are pretty darn good (actually spectacular). The other label of interest is Transparency - lots of unreleased material surfacing for the first time - they (Michael) did the mammoth 28 CD 1981 Detroit set - for the real diehard Ra fan. Sun Ra's music is so varied (even within a set decade) it's hard to pinpoint a few releases

Bertrand you're right on that my mistake!!

Chuck that's what I thought when I looked at the CD track listings (before buying) & compared it to my discography (Lord) It appears that two tracks have been merged into one -> when I loaded the disc into iTunes & did a track search, one of the tracks had two titles Can't remember which ones - I'm at work at present

I get the impression that these are Euro only releases but I may be wrong Have picked up the Fuller (was very interested in this one), Ayler (at last his final album)& Scott so far

I always associate Steve Allen with Frank Zappa - that was my first exposure, being a big FZ fan (way before my real exposure to jazz) He was on Allen's show in the late 50's (59?)playing a bicycle wheel

Head up that "I cant' believe it's still here" with the Gato Barbieri Third World and Phenix albums. Those are great! totally agree!! - Flying Dutchman material Would have snapped them up but already have em - only looking for El Pampero (live Montreux '71) Sorry to tell you that El Pampero is the best one of all, best thing he ever did! Today was an example of the benefit of maintaining a good relationship with the owner of my local independent brick and mortar retailer. I got a call from him this afternoon that someone getting rid of their collection had just brought in over 400 CDs and he thought I might be interested in taking a look through it. In addition to about 30 other discs I picked up, I got a copy of El Pampero in mint condition for $6.

No kidding - that one is brilliant ! The Kirchin Band was a medium sized group with his Dad, Ivor. Sort of covered Ted Heath-ish showband territory but with some very good jazz soloists. Thanks for the heads up with the sale - I'm surprised I didn't get an email (buy from Dutton a couple of times a year) Went for the Garricks (Apocalypse & Troppo), Ray Russell, Thad Jones & Kirchins The Thad Jones double is interesting - was originally released on Period (other half of LP was Sonny Rollins) & Prestige (wasn't technically a TJ LP - has been released as an OJC) - did Vocalion lease these sessions? I'm interested to hear the Kirchin Big Band material - have all the Trunk CD's (big fan of Basil's) - wish his only officially released LP (WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS) on Columbia could garner a release

pm sent on Bouncing with Bud: All the Recordings of Bud Powell by Carl Smith (softcover). $5. Rat Race Blues by Noal Cohen and Michael Fitzgerald (softcover). $5. Dance of the Infidels by Francis Paudras (softcover). $5.

Anyone have more details on the new triple LP, THE MYSTERY OF BEING (non CD) KLIMT release of two of Sun Ra's Horo double Lp's ie New Steps & Other Voices.. KLIMT apppears to be associated with the Italian Abraxas label, I presume a pirate operation? (Italian equivalent to the Fresh Sound stable of labels) This has got to be a bootleg - different title & cover art work Actually, has there been any further news re the proposed legit Horo releases

thanks for the tip scored the 4CD debut set for $6.39 (with the discount) & no shipping to Australia What's the story with this operation - is all of their material second hand or is some of it "cut outs"/remaindered stock ie new (some of the jazz box sets, Prestige RVG remasters, Keepneews remasters?) I think I've seen previous discussions mentioning this

Maybe I should buy some of these more recent Vee Jays & check them out for myself Even if they happen to be of Spanish origin the sound quality should be still good There was a mention that the Koch issues from 2000 may have been taken from vinyl (but these CD's also included the alternate takes!!). Can anyone else confirm that? The caveat in the Mosaic box mentions that certain labels were not to be listed due to their dubious origins - don't think it was referring to Koch - this was an above board label.

So it appears that Fresh Sound/Absolute Distribution has licenced the Vee Jay material
