Jimmy Smith Live in '69 - Dec 1, 1969 - live Salle Pleyel, Paris - Trio - Eddie McFadden guitar & Charlie Crosby drums (2 sets, 90 minutes in total) Jimmy Smith Bonus Disc - November 1968 - live Copenhagen - Trio - Nathan Page guitar & Charlie Crosby drums (1 set, 28 minutes) Havn't watched either of these yet Art Farmer Live in '64 - June 6, 1964 - live BBC studio, London?, UK - Quartet - Jim Hall guitar, Steve Swallow bass & Pete La Roca drums watched this last night - both the music & visuals are excellent - lots of close ups of Jim Hall working his fretboard Interesting to see how young a large percentage of the studio audience is (& the sartorial styles of the time)

It's actually the CD I was referring to - both LP's on 1 CD released by MPS Germany in the late 90's

Nathan Davis did not make it big as a jazz musician in Paris or in Europe. He managed to make appearances in clubs and recorded several albums but none sold well. Heard him several times in Left Bank clubs (once with Larry Young on piano) in the mid-60s. Good musician as he was, he nonetheless remained essentially a figure on the periphery of the local jazz scene here. That's interesting - I always thought he was much bigger/better known in europe than the US That's probably why his records (& CD's) command such high prices today I've been trying to get his MPS twofer Happy Girl/Hip Walk for quite a few years now - always goes for big bucks (Amazon, Ebay) - I still remember it sitting on the shelf of one of our music shops here in Brisbane in the early 2000's

What did you think of Nathan - was he well known in Europe at the time?

Received the 4th Jazz Icons Box as a Christmas present this year & have just finished watching the Blakey Live in '65 disc & what a bonus seeing live footage of Nathan Davis & Jaki Byard. This version of the Messengers (part of George Wein's Newport In Europe package) was put together at short notice (Freddie Hubbard, Nathan Davis, Jaki Byard, Reggie Workman & AB) & only existed for the 11 concerts they played. The recording was made near the end of the tour & the band are tight, hot & cookin'. AB actually offered Nathan a position in the Messengers after the tour but he declined due to the recent birth of his daughter in Paris. Highly recommended for Nathan Davis fans (don't think there is much live ND material circulating).

finally - I am excited!! started a thread on this in August

Thanks

looked like a good deal until i found out that shipping was 25 bucks! should have considered that as a factor for those in the USA/Europe Shipping rates here to Australia are very reasonable Have been buying from this crowd for the last 3-4 years

tocj 5611-5615. Fascinated by this set - have never seen it before was it the complete LP (15) series 500 to 514 on 5CD's (5611-5615)? - hard to imagine they could have put all that material on 5 CD's maybe it was just the 5 LP's Jazz West Coast Vols 1-5 I've been slowly trying to obtain all of this material via PJ CD releases over the last 15 years

You can order this from CD japan (only 951 yen) http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/search3.html?q=vi+redd&media=&r=any&step=20&order=score

was only looking at a photo of him a couple of days ago (Fargo booklet) & thinking of the memories he would have had of being there on that night Requiescat In Pace Jack

Okkadisks on Australian soil - arrived today, all safe & sound Thanks Chuck

LOL!!! I'm currently reading the book

email sent on Drew ,Kenny – Talkin’ and Walkin’ (Pacific Jazz/Blue Note) $9 Coleman ,Steve – The Tao of Mad Phat (Novus) $7 Holmes ,Richard Groove – After Hours (Pacific Jazz) $7 Miller ,Mulgrew – Hand in Hand (Novus) Garrett, J.Henderson $5 Smith ,Tommy – Beasts of Scotland (Linn) $2

I don't think that one will come out in the remaining days of 2010; maybe in 2011. It might be one of the sets that's been put on the back burner. Upcoming sets are always announced on their site weeks and sometimes months before the actual release date. There's been no mention of this one on their site. I've been wondering whether there have been second thoughts (by Mosaic) re the content of the LT set - there was a lot of material that has been previously released. Still have it on my hit list even though I have most of the material

Not sure if this has already been mentioned but the radio broadcast of David Murray & Milford Graves (plus Alan Silva & Joe Bowie on a couple of the titles) from the Sant' Anna Arresi Jazz Festival (28 August this year) can be downloaded from the Big O audio Archive - can do this via the Ayler site http://www.ayler.org/html/what_s_new.html or the Big O site http://bigozine2.com/roio/?p=633 There's also a nice cover/slick you can download/print also & sound quality is excellent

bummer - US only!

Anybody else get a shipping confirmation yet who ordered before last Friday? I got the "24-48 hours" e-mail last Friday, but no shipping notice yet...hoping that it goes out tomorrow. received my 24-48hr shipping confirmation on the 11th (ordered on Oct 18) Didn't realise that an actual shipping notice email follows that - have gone through my previous order emails & have never received a second email Maybe that doesn't happen to international orders?

I remember trying to get the Document set from Leo a few years back (I think there were one or two sets left) - the cost of shipping to Australia was astronomical. In a return email to Leo Feigin I commented that it must have been made of lead for that price - I think he got a bit pissed off with me & never replied to any of my later emails - well I missed out on that one (lament++) Those elusive Po Torch releases (were they Paul Lovens label? - wonder if he still has the tapes) - The Ericle has to be my favourite LP name - wonderful word play. None of them has made it to CD yet except part of one (Globe Unity) is going to be released in the upcoming FMP box I think.

Caveat Emptor - the booklet from the Euro edition is written in German - bought this set last year -> I ended up getting an original booklet from Mosaic after unsuccessfully trying to get an english booklet from the UK

1. My most "special" jazz item is not vinyl/CD but an autographed Thelonious Monk Australian tour program from the 1965 world tour - picked it up at a record fair a few years back for virtually nothing. I found it at the very end of the day as things were winding down. No one had shown any interest in it!!! 2. Again, not strictly jazz (to some) - An Australian pressing (1966) of Frank Zappa's first 7" 45 rpm single (Help! I'm A Rock/How Could I be Such A Fool) on the unique red/yellow Verve label (use an image of this as my Avatar). Less than 100 of these were pressed. It was given to me by a friend who owned a second hand record shop here in Brisbane in the 80's/early 90's - he understood its value to me (I'm a big Zappa fan). He could have scored a lot of money for that but instead gave it to me!! - amazing altruism. Would never part with this. 3. Andrew Hill Mosaic box - he autographed it for me ("You Bought The Big One") when he was touring Australia in 1998 (I think) & finally I would have to add the Cecil Taylor FMP box (seems to be a favourite here)

Anyone out there with copies of either or both of these French Vogue 10" LP's (LD 132 & 134) There are titles on both of these LP's that don't appear on the Lord discography or Jazzdiscography or on any of the Gillespie Vogue (black digipak) CD releases I'm sourcing these from images of the front covers Vol. 1 - Exactly like you Vol. 2 - How High The Moon, My Blue Heaven, Sweet Sue & All Of Me Maybe they have alternate names? Any help would be much appreciated

Does anyone what titles were on each Period 12" LP (1211, 1212, & 1213) - I'm getting conflicting results from different discographies some claim that 1211 was equivalent to Swing 10" 33.320 & 1212 the same as 33.321 - I don't think this is correct
