Stunning breakthrough: CAL-3023 that had been listed for years on Amazon for $1,048 was revised to $10.48. I immediately purchased it. Now I am looking for CAL-3025 (Candoli Brothers/Leroy Vinnegar) to complete my collection. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount for the LP, although considerably less than $1,048. As an alternative I would like to borrow the LP to make a CDR. I would then return the LP and pay any costs both way. Come on someone out there in Organissimo- help me complete my collection! I have been collecting Calliope label Sessions, Live LPs since 2012. I now have 34 of the 36 that were released. I am missing 2: CAL-3023 (Harry Babasin and Barney Kessel) and CAL-3025 (Candolis and Leroy Vinnegar). CAL-3023 is listed on Amazon for $1,048 which is a tad more than I would pay. I continually look on eBay and have listed my 2 missing LPs on Discogs with no results from either so far. Does anyone have any ideas where to look? I am willing to pay a reasonable amount (considerably less than $1,048) for either LP..

Bump.

Pleased to get.

Taken care of.

Did the scratched CD play OK? If so, why bother with getting a refund. If it did not play OK then the above solutions should be followed.

Sony (Columbia) still needs to release "The Last Time We Saw Paris" and "Compadres" on CD. These are the only Columbia Brubeck LPs that have not been released on CD so far. I am aware of the story that Dave did not want "Paris" released, possibly because of a problem with Paul Desmond. I wonder if the tape still exists. As far as "Compadres" goes I have no idea why is has not been released on CD. "Jackpot" is one of my favorite Brubeck albums. It was recorded live at the Tropicana in Las Vegas and really swings. Who cares if the piano wasn't perfect.

Looking at the many Jackpot LP listings on eBay all album covers show both CL2712 and CS9512 in the upper left-hand corner. The LP cover also says "stereo". This leads me to believe that CL2712 was never released in mono as a separate LP.

OP plays piano on first 5 tracks (no organ), Lee on last 3. OP cuts were recorded in NYC at the Band Box in January 1953. Boris Rose LPs on various labels are a delightful mystery.

Looking for the following 10-inch Dale Records label LPs: 1. LP-21 Stan Getz Quintet 2. LP-22 Paul Quinechette Quintet 3. LP-23 Beryl Booker and Her Piano 4. LP-24 Wardell Gray and John Hardee Quartets 5. LP-25 Billie Holiday and Stan Getz

Maybe because of this Sony will release CDs of Dave Brubeck "The Last Time We Saw Paris" (CL2852/CS9672) and "Compadres".(CS9704).

The Los Angeles Jazz Institute (LAJI) over the years has issued 15 CDs of previously unissued West Coast jazz sessions from the 1950's. These limited edition CDs were available only to LAJI members. The CDs would make a great Mosaic box set. Also a terrific booklet could accompany the CDs. Ken Poston is the director of the LAJI and should be contacted to see if he is interested in a Mosaic set.

WUCF-FM 89.9 in Orlando is an excellent jazz 24-7 radio station. They play classic as well as current jazz. Well worth listening to. They stream on the Internet. They broadcast from the campus of the University of Central Florida.

For sure the last 2 cuts on disc 2 are unique. They are from a Lighthouse Allstars session.

Got mine today. Lots of duplication with previously issued Fresh Sound Records "Dodo's Bounce" (FSCD1019) and Lonehill Jazz "Complete Studio Recordings" (LHJ10119). I have not done a complete audit- I hope to find some unique cuts. Very nice booklet.

To me the greatest invention after the CD is the CD recorder. I have digitized about 500 LPs to CDR. I have worn out 3 CD recorders, 1 Philips and 2 Sonys. Most of these LPs have never been released on CD so my collection includes some rare jazz music.

Two developments brought me into the CD world. First was the invention of the CD recorder. This allowed me to digitize most of my jazz LP collection, solving the LP storage problem and enabling me to play CDRs in my car. The second was the 80 minute CDR replacing the 74 minute CDR which allowed recording 2 LPs on 1 CDR without losing any tracks. Tower Records was a god-send to jazz CD collectors. I especially remember the 2-story Tower Records store in Washington DC. The second floor was all jazz and literally had thousands of CDs. OJC and later Mosaic were wonderful providers of CDs in addition to the major labels like Blue Note, etc. I also remember that the industry suffered initially with a shortage of blank CDs as there were only 1 or 2 producers world-wide. This was solved quickly as the popularity od CDs sky-rocketed.

I bought this Sony All-region DVD/Blu-Ray player about 6 months ago. According to the seller a change is made to an internal circuit board that allows all-region capability. Software hacking is not involved. I am extremely happy with the unit- it will play any DVD or Blu-Ray no matter what the country code. Be sure to select the $40 option.

My favorite Jack Wilson session is his trio recording in NYC 6/4/93 on the DIW label.
