P.D.

Giuffre and Edison are indeed on Ellis in Wonderland, but I think that's it.. maybe they may be found together as part of a Big Band date, but that is the only small group The tenor on Sweets, is Ben Webster. If Mosaic did a " Mosaic" they would most likely leave out thr Ellis recording as it's Ellis' date not Giuffres.. maybe a Select An Ellis on Verve Mosaic would be quite nice with a good varity in the music.

O.k I obviously don't like Verve.. as a CD producer..it was all we talked about on the Old Verve board.. but their reissue program was much better a few uears back when they put out those 2cd sets, example the Dizz Big Band, The Ben Webster,Sweets , Carter etc usually three lps plus extras, even the Swung Trumpets was a plus.. to get the Sweets plus Clayton date. Then we had the really bad Finest Hour years. I agree, at least now they are bringing out some rarer items.. this Hodges / Mulligan hasn't been reissued much.. only once on LP domestically.. and not too much elswhere. and as I've been able to pick up copies of the ones I wanted for$6 -$9.00, my verve boycot has ended.. sort of. and Dr J, I suppose ollectors like to Collect and Cdr's of music unavailable elswhere, are better than nothing As to Grainy labels... well I guess I should swap something with you

It's not a matter of thunking Stephan, Verve have lots of great albums... all locked away. Though it does seem as though the drought of the last couple of years is coming to an end Now if they would only issue them well compiled, packaged and at decent price levels.. we'd be more than happy.

The spindle is more solid, not teeth.. it resembles a spring type washer in appearance.. It is not the press and release type found in many DVD cases. Give me Old Fashioned, repairable jewel cases anytime.. they store better, stand up to wear better, and can be replaced better than any of the artsy fartsy digi pak / mini LP rubbish Question..... Why was Verves Mini Lp of the Brubeck Desmond duets.. bigger than their other mini LPs????

Brownie did it for you I too, wish Masters had continued.. especially the Wardell set There's a couple of Lee & Lester recordings from the same or similar source, but without Holiday, on the Pres discs too.

How complete? The majority of Billie with Pres is included in the Sony / Columbia box alternates "n all. Probably the best tracks are here, but if you really want it all there are some broadcasts with Basie, Studio recordings on Decca.. just a couple of tracks I think. Some JATP on Verve and a couple of radio shots with the Lee Young band. Plus the Sound of Jazz recordings. I don't think any bootleg or legit issues combines these in total. So the Sony /Columbia box is the best way to get most of it, possibily these are the tracks you are seeking. There's a lot of great music in the set that Pres does not play on, well worth the investment.

Mine arrived today.. thought I'd thank you publicly.. The Eager is another first class production When you've been listening to, and collecting Jazz for awhile, this kind of issue is very important.. hope you have similar projects about to germinate. If you missedout on Chuck's deal... buy it anyway, an amazinly produced bit of rare Jazz history.. and great music besides. More Please.

Jazz at Cal Tech.. Bud Shank on PJ... dumping already? the Select isn't due for a long time yet Zen the Music of Fred Katz with the Chico Hamilton Quintet PJ.. does he know something I don't? and for Fun Mat Mathews with 4 French Horns... Elektra $5.00 each All more or less in good condition.. the "less" is for one split sleeve.

A German translation. or just an English translation of the English, like in the Hodges?

I am interested in this from the Dave Burns aspect.. Would it fit alonside his Vanguards????

What would be REALLY pathetic would be an American Ploughman's Lunch....... Bad Bread, Bad Beer, Bad Cheese... not to mention the lack of Branston Pickles.... Damn I'm getting homesick trust Jim to start something.

I just commented on this in the Mulligan/Hodges thread.. guess it came without the insert.. maybe the disc should have cost $1.00 less than the Hodges, but hell, it does have the fake Obi strip

Provided the price is right.. I have avoided Verve because I don't like their packaging, nor their pricing. These last I bought because I wanted the music and at $8.39 O. K. But why the fake Japanese issue look Fake Obi strip????? really makes you wanna buy.. true collectors item..... folded up note sheet which no doubt is an English translation of the English notes ( they left it out of the Giuffre.. on purpose???? or was I short changed???? The Bastards.... The Hodges was the only Verve " Mulligan Meets" that I never owned.. in the Lp days I thought it was overpriced... really short playing time I know it's the music that counts, but about 30 mins music??? thank the big Guy it wasn't one of their $18.99 specials. That being said I agree with White Lightenings review of the music Question why is the photo quality of the Giuffre cover so poor.. was the original LP that bad????

Another Couple who will go to great lengths for a GOOD piece of Cheese Double Glouchester.... anyone?

Well as the thread has gone beyond Tenors and Alto's The Mulligan meets Getz album on verve.. the two switch instruments for half the album. So well known, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. Also on the Limelight Mulligan.. Something Borrowed, mulligan plays alto.

As Berigan, the addict, points out this is more of a historical set, allowing you to follow the development of Berigan the trumpet player. I for one am glad to have this collected together. I used to buy Frank Froeba etc. collections just to get the Berigan bits.. believe me you get a lot more dross that way.. so the Mosaic is a plus for me Remember these were not necessarily considered Jazz or even Swing bands.. most of these records were attempts at the POP music of the day.. our Moms 'n Dads liked some strange songs.. or the writers and record promoters thought they did. We are interested because occasionally a major Jazz star to be, gets to blow a chorus ( or half chorus). Once again buying this because it is a Mosaic and if you are unfamiliar with Berigan and the music from this era, can be a dangerous purchase. Disc 7 is some of the best Berigan on record, and closest to typical Jazz, but unless you want to examine to Bunny's recording career, the tracks can be found on many single and two disc comps. Mosaics are for collectors of specific artists.. Berigan is worth collecting that way. I read that part of Berigan's Big Band failure while at RCA was because the company had at least two other major Big Bands.. Miller and Dorsey, and they gave the best songs to them, not wanting Berigan to record the same tune and hence dilute sales by the " stars", so even though the music does improve and become of more "jazz" interest.. Berigan seemed plagued by crappy songs throughout his whole career.

Candid have just reissued the Lee Konitz album.. Tenor Lee, A trio album with Lee exclusively on tenor supported by Jimmy Rowles and Michael Moore.

Yes you are. The comments were not laid at your doorstep because of your battle with Aric, but because of your stupid multiple posts of the album... uselesly eating up space and basically destroying a Warne Marsh thread... which might have been your intent as it was started by Aric. Your response was that you were just " having fun".. but now that you have a supporter in Mike.. you go back to the self righteous mode... Had you posted once.. your point would have been made.. as it is.... you named it. funny ...isn't it

perhaps

I see your level of humour is about the same as those you rage against.

been saving it up??????????????? rather like coming to the end of constipation... once would have been enough.. tell you what , to save the board.. pm me your address I'll send you a copy.......

Name a lousy Warne record??? Even in the middle of Supersax he offered up good solos but still... Music for Prancing.. all those Storyvilles.. the two tenor sets with Christlieb Sal Mosca... and on and on....

Jabbo Smith.. much later in his career

and the other O.P. or at least one of them, the female one
