I'm interested in picking up some of his releases, particularly "Malcolm X Memorial" & "Artistic Heritage Ensemble" Are the recent Katalyst releases legit? What about sound quality Any comments appreciated

Totally missed out on this Trema vol. 3 release Did not pay enough attention to it when this was released. So many Monk concerts came out around that time and the majority of them were plain reissues. That vol. 3 looks like the real thing! Trema was a label that was part of the Europe 1 radio station company. The Monk March 1965 concerts were organized by Europe 1! What are the titles on this disc? - are they the same as the above Laserlight issue?

This is what I have In 2002 Laserlight issued the "concerts" on 3 CD's -> were these duplicates of the Trema issues? 1. Double "box" containing 2CD's claiming to be the two March 6 concerts (CD 36150 - 17425/17426) Disc 1 (was this the 1st concert?) Evidence Blue Monk Four In One Sweet & Lovely Rhythm-A-Ning Epistrophy Disc 2 (was this the 2nd concert or is it actually part of the March 7 concert?) Well You Need'n't I'm Getting Sentimental Over You Teo Bright Mississippi Epistrophy 2. Single CD claiming to be the March 7 concert (CD 17250) Rhythm-A-Ning (Actually April 18, 1961) Body & Soul (Actually April 18, 1961) I Mean You (Actually April 18, 1961) April In Paris (Actually April 18, 1961) Well You Need'n't Bright Mississippi Epistrophy I've discussed this anomaly with Robin Kelley - he also has the "wrong" titles on his sessionography Also, the concerts are reviewed in the Jazz Hot Mag (#208 - March 65 - was referenced in Robin's recent Monk tome) -> I would have to pay 15 Euros to download a copy of this mag!! - anyone out there who can get access to this?

Not sure if this has been discussed before I have detected an anomaly in the March 6/7, 1965 Paris Olympia concerts, with the help of the HowardM online discography (http://www.howardm.net/tsmonk/tsmonk2.php) Four titles from the March 7 broadcast (Rhythm-a-ning, Body & Soul solo, I mean You & April In Paris solo) are the same as those from the April 18, 1961 Paris concert (Riverside release - in Riverside box set) I have listened to these titles from both sources & they appear audibly identical (timings are also close to identical - some applause has been removed from the Riverside releases). I presume these titles were accidentally broadcast with the later date & have subsequently been left as part of this concert in discographies. It therefore appears we only have three "genuine" titles from the 7th concert - Well You Needn't, Bright Mississippi & Epistrophy. Some discographies list these concerts as May 23, 1965. Also, some list the second 6th concert as the 7th. There appears to be general confusion re these releases. The Thelonious label CD/DVD release (9316) from the early 2000's includes these titles as part of the March 7th concert - seems that the anomaly is being perpetuated. Any comments?

so it was never released on vinyl in the 70's ?

Any Nathan Davis is most welcome although this polydor LP has had one or two CD issues already

There are three trumpet/flugelhorn players on this session Lee Morgan, Burt Collins, Joe Shepley Some discographies list LM as playing on Popi (Blue Note, Lord, Masayana Matsumura) while the Jazz Discography Project omits him from this track I presume it's only ever been released as the b side of the single? Even listening to the title to discern LM may be tricky due to the number of trumpet players present

This is a long shot but I thought I'd try here I recently found a copy of Woody Shaw's "Last Of the Line" 32 Jazz double CD - ordered via Amazon Unfortunately Disc one was actually Disc one of "Dark Journey", a compilation The dealer has refunded my & let me keep the uneven set. I was just wondering if anyone out there has a spare copy of disc 1 (its the Muse "Cassandrite" LP/CD + a title from a Joe Chambers LP) I'd be happy to pay $$ or trade.

Thanks for that

I'm looking for the David X Young 2 CD set I saw someone advertising this a few weeks ago (on this site)but can't find the topic Can you go beyond the last 3 pages of listings I've done a general search for David X Young & have been unsuccesful so far

What's the serial number?

There's also one called "1976" on the Candid site - maybe it's an unreleased session - not listed in the Lord Discography

Flurin I have to agree The Copenhagen concent is wonderful - just listened to it this weekend (downloaded it from your site) I thought that the Stockholm & Copenhagen concerts were going to be on the new Hat CD but then realised it is listed as Berlin/Stockholm (had another look at the Hat site) - why double up with the AA box?

Same here - the Ayler, Braxton (Willisau) & Taylor (Garden) have been on that list for at least 2 years

Excuse me for appearing ignorant but how do you tell the difference? I've never purchased a commercially available CDr before I bought most of my Candids (except the Whynots) in the 90's - were they releasing CDr's then?

Not sure if a thread has already been commenced on this wonderful label Over the past 2 years or so Candid (UK) have been releasing titles from this mid to late 70's Japanese label (some were recorded in the 80's & released on other labels). I've picked up eight of these, mostly the predictable titles - Air, Walt Dickerson, Ted Curson, Don Pullen (wasn't a Whynot LP release), Muhal Richard Abrams but recently I had a go at two of the more obscure artists ie Monty Waters & Charles Sullivan - both have a very small recorded legacy (Sullivan was also released on Strata East which was reissued on Inner City - currently available) but both of these sessions are tremendous. Charles Sullivan sounds a tad like Woody Shaw. Wonder why these guys never had greater exposure? Other releases include Chico Freeman - Lord Riff & Me, Morning Prayer Donald Smith - Luv George Cables - Why Not Joe Lee Wilson - Shout For Trane Joseph Bonner - Triangle Kenny Barron - Live Manhattan Graffiti Four - MG4 Sonny Fortune - Invitation Walt Dickerson - 1976 Any comments on these releases would be most welcome

It's the next Transparency release - was originally planned as a 4CD set , then 14 but has now blown out to 20CD set HELLO ! Part One of 'The Eternal Myth Revealed' will be at the CD pressing plant and book printer/binder in two weeks -- and I have recently been told that the album will be about TWENTY CDs (rather than the previously estimated fourteen discs). Sun Ra Archive editor Michael Anderson has slightly expanded his excellent project demo to 56 minutes -- now on two handy Youtube links (directly below my signature here.). Most definitely worth spending an hour with. Thanks to all who have ordered this box set --- and as release date approaches, we really need for EVERY person reading this to order the album. Please listen to the demo and get back to me! --- PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT BE CHARGING A HIGHER PRICE FOR THE TWENTY-CD VERSION OF THE ALBUM. This is still advance offered to mail order customers for just $65 plus shipping. (Please see the paypal ordering info at the end of this e-mail.) All the best, Michael Sheppard / Transparency Does anyone know how to sign up for the email? Sorry about not putting contact details (email) here - looks like I've been beaten to it anyway I've been dealing directly with Michael (Transparency) for the past 2 years or so - usually prepay (helps finance the pressing) & we receive the discs before the issue is released to the shops Also, his prices are a bit less than what the dealers/shops charge

Totally agree - all of the Art Yard releases (originally Saturns with extra tracks from the sessions) have great sound quality I'm currently listening to the two CD Art Yard/Kindred Spirits set - Live At The Theatre Du Chatelet 1971 (Paris) - one hell of a live set & stunning sound to boot My Favourite Transpariencies are 1. Detroit Jazz Residency 80/81 -28 CD -> need to be in for the long haul to listen to this 2. Live Toronto 78 + Interview - 10 CD 3. Live Electric Circus 68 & Newport Jazz Festival 69 - 2 CD 4. Sun Ra All Stars 1983 - 5CD (includes Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, Lester Bowie, Famoudou Don Moye, Philly Joe Jones, Richard Davis) 5. Helsinki 71 - - 2CD + DVD (great footage) 6.

Re: Modest Jazz Trio - see post #205. Red Mitchell does indeed play piano on this album, Red Kelly plays bass. The Eddie Costa/Vinnie Burke is excellent. Thanks for the link & yes the Lord Discography lists Red Mitchell as the pianist & Red Kelly as the bassist.

I've just ordered the following from the latest release list Eddie Costa Memorial Concert (Clark Terry, Coleman Hawkins) Eddie Costa/Vinnie Burke trio (Jubilee) Joe Puma - Jazz Quartet (Jubilee - with Bill Evans, Oscar Pettiford, Eddie Costa, Paul Motian) Howard Rumsey - Double Or Nothin' (1957 Liberty - amazing lineup - Lee Morgan, Conte Candoli, Wynton Kelly, Frank Rosolino, Benny Golson, Bob Cooper) Les McCann & The Jazz Crusaders - Jazz waltz (Pacific Jazz) The Modest Jazz Trio - Good Friday Blues (Jim Hall, Red Mitchell piano?? - Pacific Jazz) Tony Aless - Long Island Suite (1955, Roost - interesting lineup - JJ Johnson, Winding, Schildkraut, Seldon Powell, Billy Bauer - Any Dave Schildkraut sessions are most welcome) John Handy - No Coast Jazz (1960, Roulette - Don Friedman piano) comments on any of these would be appreciated - any stiffs here? Also interested in the following Ethel Azama - Cool Heat with the Marty Paich Orchestra (includes Art Pepper & Russ Freeman), Liberty, 1960 - looks like she only did one LP Junior Mance - Straight Ahead - Capitol, 1964

Roscoe Mitchell LRG/The Maze/S II Examples – 2 lps on one cd ncd-14 Recorded July/Aug.1978. w/Leo Smith, George Lewis, Thurman Barker, Anthony Braxton, Douglas Ewart, Malachi Favors, Joseph Jarman, Don Moye and Henry Threadgill Chuck I've noticed that the Roscoe M CD "The Maze" is a Nessa release - my copy is a 1989 UK Chief pressing with a US slick/card Has this been remastered/reissued as was the Leo Smith "Procession Of The Great Ancestry" recently (originally a Chief CD release)

I've had a good search for the DIW & it is circulating (Amazon, GEMM) but at massive prices (around $150) I'd hang on for a while One possibility would be to contact Hiroshi Tanno <hiroshi@earlyrecords.com> - he has a Jazz shop in Japan (vinyl & CD's) & can search for you - more likely to find an OOP DIW in the country of origin I've checked his current CD catalogue (http://www.earlyrecords.com/) & the DIW is not there.

Hello from Brisbane & glad to have another "Strine" on board Cadence (recently changed name to Klompfoot - https://www.klompfoot.com/) has Solo Ballads Two for $14 US (in stock) - they ship to Australia They have a special on Fresh Sound CD's at present (just placed an order last night) I've been dealing with them since the late 90's & never had a problem - great online dealers & carry a massive range of jazz/improv If you ask to have jewel cases removed shipping is $8.50 for up to 5CD's - the way the Aussie $ is at present (1.07), buying from the US, Europe or Japan is very much in our favour
