Many thanks for the information about PJ33.

What 3 tracks by the Elmo Hope Quintet were on Pacific Jazz label? What is the Pacific Jazz catalog number?

This 10-inch LP is hard to find and, when you do, very expensive.

I am looking for the Japanese Bandstand label CD TKCB-70590, titled "Dave Brubeck- Take The A Train". Amazon lists "The Greatest Hits Dave Brubeck. The Cool Jazz Master" with 8 songs available on MP3, by the Producciones AR label. The 8 songs are the same ones as on the TKCB-70590 Bandstand CD. Is this MP3 set of songs the same as on the Bandstand CD? What are the details of the session? When? (possibly 1964 or 65), where, anything else? As far as I can tell this session does not show up on any Brubeck discographies. Why not? Songs are: 1. Take The "A" Train 2. Mexican Folk Song 3. Three To Get Ready 4. Forty Days 5. Summer Song 6. Someday My Prince Will Come 7. One Moment 8. Joe's Blues Players are Dave, Paul Desmond, Gene Wright and Joe Morello. Is it possible that the 8 songs are already included in another CD or LP? If so, on which one?

I just checked the "Cool Dogs & Two Oranges" MP3 listing on Amazon. 4 songs from the MGM E-137 LP are not listed: Lover Man, Diagram, Brotherly, and If I Had You. Does this mean that these 4 songs are not available anywhere except on the MGM LP?

Where does the 1955 MGM LP E3137 "Cool Europe" with Jutta Hipp and Mike Nevard fit into the previous discussions? Her songs are: Simone, Lover Man, Cool Dogs, Diagram, Anything Goes, Brotherly, Yogi, and If I had You.

The following Dave Brubeck Columbia LPs have not been released on CD by Sony. Hopefully the above-mentioned box set will include them. 1. At Storyville (has been re-issued by Fresh Sound Records) 2. Blues Roots with Gerry Mulligan 3. In Amsterdam 4. Jackpot 5. Last Time We Saw Paris 6. The Riddle (has been re-issued by Solar Records combined with Southern Scene) 7. Tonight Only! with Carmen McRae (has been re-issued by 101 Distribution) 8. Compadres with Gerry Mulligan

OK now- what is the correct answer? Red (Blue Note) or Redd (Savoy).

I have seen both ways. Which is correct? Redd or Red.

There are several Dave Brubeck Columbia LPs that have not been released on CD by Sony. Some of them have been released on European labels but these would make a nice box set from Sony or Fresh Sounds. The LPs are: 1. At Storyville (has been re-issued by Fresh Sound Records) 2. Blues Roots with Gerry Mulligan 3. In Amsterdam 4. Jackpot 5. Last Time We Saw Paris 6. The Riddle (has been re-issued by Solar Records combined with Southern Scene) 7. Tonight Only! with Carmen McRae (has been re-issued by 101 Distribution) 8. Compadres with Gerry Mulligan

I have the CD version of Overseas, not the SACD referred to by Groover. The sound is terrific and it has 3 alternate takes that are not on the SACD.

EyeSpeech- Would it be any better if I used the coaxial output instead of the optical outout?

I play SACDs with a Sony BDP-BX37 Blu-Ray DVD/SACD player via the digital optical output to an Adcom GDA-600 DAC and then into an Adcom GFP-555II Preamp. Based on the previous discussions is the SACD being properly decoded by my Preamp? The Adcom components are fairly old and I wonder if the technology is current enough. The SACDs play beautifully and sound better that the CDs of the same music.

The Oppo BDP-103 certainly looks it will do what I want- play SACD output via an HDMI cable. However, the Oppo is very expensive. Are there any other less costly players available- either Oppo or other brands?

I am looking for a Blu-Ray DVD/SACD player that outputs the SACD audio via an HDMI cable. Are there any out there?

How many Mozart Piano Sonatas on Philips label CDs did she make in the 1980's? I have 7- is that all?

I have the Japanese CD that reissues Roost rlp-401 and 412. How do I know if it is pitch-corrected?

Tom in RI- you are right- I did error by about 10 years. As I get older time tends to compress. Remember when CDRs first came out they were limited to 74 minutes? I have many of these that I made with a Philips CD recorder and they all play beautifully. When the 80-minute CDRs came out it was great because now you could record 2 LPs onto 1 disc.

Fresh Sound has reissued the Ted Brown Vanguard LP (VRS-8515) titled "Free Wheeling" on CD.

Bill Dillard plays extensively on Vibe-rations. In 7 of the 8 tracks he has a significant solo and in all tracks has give-and-take sessions with Red Norvo. He, with Red, is given credit for composing 2 of the songs ("Rhee, Oh Rhee!" and "Porsche"). You could almost call this a Bill Dillard LP instead of Red Norvo. This LP is a "must have" for Bill Dillard fans.

I have the 1956 Red Norvo Vibe-rations LP. The notes on the back of the cover say: "In memoriam- Bill Dillard, one of the great new jazz stars, and guitarist on these sessions, lost his life shortly after these recordings were made. The tragedy thus deprived the jazz world of his genius less that a decade after his idol, Charlie Christian, passed into the great beyond. These sides were Bill's last known recordings." Since Charlie died in 1942 the "less than a decade" is not quite correct but who cares? Does anyone know how Bill Dillard lost his life?

What was the label for the "Nocturne" LP? There is a picture of Bill Dillard on eBay right now. Item number 390484659479.

I collect Transition label jazz sessions LPs and CDs. I think my collection is complete. Anyone out there that also collects Transition label?

When CD players/recorders first came out I was very enthusiastic about the ability to record LPs as well as playing CDs. I was able to record much of my large LP collection onto CDRs. Subsequently I have sold or given away all my LPs. The CDRs I made in the early 1980's still play beautifully.
