Picture quality is excellent, IMHO could not be better.

Consider an all-region player. For example several are offered by International Video & Electronics (220-electronics.com). I bought a Sony from them for $139 three years ago. It works perfectly on Blu-ray and DVD discs and has HDMI output.

Lord has 159 entries for Sonny Stitt, none playing soprano sax or clarinet. Many entries where he sings.

Another solution: Play your CD on a DVD player. DVD players are less picky. That is what I do.

LF 3 Roads To Jazz LP. American Artists label ALP-100. Would be happy with a CDR. Finally got the LP.

.

Maybe started 3/20 at 10pm and lasted until after Midnight into 3/21?

I collect rare LPs by label. I almost have a complete collection of the Transition label. I still search for the long lost TRLP-18 "Jazz Down Beat" by Jay Migliori. This LP is shown in the Lord Discography.

LaserLight CDs 17409 and 17410 show date of 3/20/1960; Youtube shows date of 3/21/60. Which is correct? The session is not shown in the Lord Discography.

LF biographical information. Patchen played piano in early Howard Rumsey Lighthouse All-stars sessions.

Amazon has just listed a new Dave Brubeck CD and LP titled "Time Outtakes- Previously Unreleased Takes From The Original 1959 Session". It includes two tunes not on the original LP- "In A Dancing Mood" and "Watusi Jam", as well as alternate takes of "Take Five" and others. Release date is December 4, $17 for CD. The label is "Brubeck Editions" This leads me to hope that the Brubeck archives are beginning to release more Brubeck sessions. Another hope is that "The Last Time We Saw Paris" and "Compadres" will finally be released on CD. In any case this is a welcome happening!

Arranger is Willie Maiden. Players: Maynard, Bill Chase, Larry Moser, Jerry Tyree (trumpet); Slide Hampton, Don Sebesky (trombone); Jimmy Ford (alto sax); Carmen Leggio, Willie Maiden (tenor sax); John Lanni (baritone sax); Bob Dogan (piano); Jimmy Rowser (bass); Frankie Dunlop (drums). Solos are by Maynard and Maiden.

Is this box set available? I do not want to be on a back-ordered list if it is not.

LF "3 Roads To Jazz" LP (ALP-100) released by American Recording Artists many years ago. Would be happy with a CDR.

LF CD Titled "Jazz Rarities" volume 1. Released by IAJRC many years ago. I would be happy with a CDR.

How much Brubeck is on the additional tracks in "The Real Ambassadors"?

The unissued 30 April 1950 session at Mills College is a tremendous find. Hopefully a tape will show up. As a long-time Brubeck collector I would love to have a CD of this session.

If you want to get rid of them I suggest listing them on eBay. You might be surprised what they may be worth.

Jazzbo- I just checked Amazon and they list a CD containing Southern Scene and The Riddle. Issued by Solar Records.

Columbia/Sony have issued most of the Dave Brubeck catalog on CD except for "Compadres" and "The Last Time We Saw Paris". It is about time. On another subject- Jordi Pujol of Fresh Sound Records deserves great credit for issuing CDs of many, many LPs that otherwise would never been issued on CD. He continues today.

I have learned to live with clicks and pops from 78s and LPs. Trying to eliminate them always seems to affect the music. The big guys, like Sony, can do a good job but IMHO not the typical collector.

Lord shows the 2 songs on Rex 26000 but with different players. Ray Vasquez and His Be-boppers- probably Vasquez on alto, Lucky Thompson on tenor, unknown p,b,d.

I bought a region-free DVD/Bluray player in 2018, from 220-electronics.com. It is a Sony BDP-S1700. 220-electronics makes a hardware modification to the circuit board to make it all-region. I actually talked to the technician who makes the modification. The modification costs $40 on top of the $99 non-modified price. No codes or anything else needed to play any DVD/Bluray. Since my purchase I am extremely happy- I have played all kinds of DVD/Bluray discs with no problems. I highly recommend this company.

A Doug Carn LP was issued in 1969 on Savoy label- "The Doug Carn Trio". Has been re-issued on CD.

I used listening booths many times in the 50's and early 60's. LPs were not sealed in those days, most were mono. Typical price for an LP was $3.95 or less for 10-inchers. LPs were produced on heavy vinyl and were fairly resistant to scratches caused by playing prior to purchase. I think the emergence of stereo and sealed LPs and lighter vinyl LPs helped the demise of listening booths. Also in those days if after purchasing an LP you found scratches on it while playing you could return it to the record store for a refund or exchange.
