That Gil Evans sound great on that disc, even if one doesn't have a SACD player - someone should grab it. IIRC it was the first stereo release of that session from the original session tapes.

He can also be heard on the two albums by Lennie McFrowne & The Four Souls.

She does it the right/hard way by memorizing boppish solos and even setting lyrics to them - she will be the next scat and vocalese giant. On her facebook page she regularly posts videos of her singing, one has her singing along with a very complex Hermeto Pascoal solo. Check out her albums (I have yet to get the second): http://www.sunnysiderecords.com/artist.php?id=535&Bertault&Camille She also has a track on a vocalists' Bird tribute: https://www.camillebertault.fr/

His abilities as a composer were on the same level of excellence as his competence as a chess player. He just wasn't performed beacuse he was classified an amateur due to his great reputation as chess expert. Whoever actually played his music was impressed. Not to be confused with Francois André Philidor.

Thanks for your elaborate response. Could it be the tapes of the Vault label are lost or destroyed? I see unissued recordings in the Lord Disco.

Bet I have more harpsichord CDs on my shelves than you do? I bought the Tramier disc long ago.

Got a box with ten bargain priced CDs from JPC today, all early music. This is the first I opened: I have other recordings of these pieces, but Mme Dévérité plays very well and the sound is great.

I just cancelled my order of "The Jazz Organs" after reading your post. The same label reissued Wilson's "Brazilian Mancini" - did they mess it up, too? Another needle drop, I suppose?

I'm with you here - I linked this listing only to give some examples for others who are not so familiar with the label's history. The problem with discogs is that they have no personnel supervising the listings, it is the decision of each member posting a release to classify it as a new version of an existing release or an independent issue - if they are not discographically inclined and check other entries such duplicate/triplicate etc. listings are bound to happen. That said, the issue/reissue policy of Prestige was just another mess, in some respects. It seems that every generation of reissue compilers did not give a damn what had been done before them and never did any serious research. After the publication of Ruppli/Porter's label discography it was easy, although even that is not without mistakes and omissions, but I doubt that the label executives had a copy at hand.

Prestige had several LP series compiling sessions from the 1950's in a more completist manner than the so-called "orginal LPs", which often were scattered collections of material first released on 78s, EPs, or 10-inch LPs. As with other labels tracks were left off for time limitations, or simply overlooked, or takes were exchanged. So the "Original Jazz Classics" copied all those often haphazard compilations, just like the Japanese had done. There was a "Jazz Classics Series" of which the Miles LP JSngry pictured is a fine example, because it presented a complete session spread over several earlier issues, and there was a "Historical Series" that also completed sessions from the pre-12-inch era. The OJC series was a child of the LP era and modelled, as I said, after Japanese reissue concepts approaching the LP like a fetish. In the CD era they often seized the opportunity to complete sessions by adding bonus material, but more often they didn't. The more famous a musicians, the more likely it was they left an "original" (12 inch) LP intact; The James Moody Prestige sessions are a prime example for a perfect completed reissue. Here are examples for the "Historical Series", which also reissued older music recorded for other labels: https://www.discogs.com/label/305455-Prestige-Historical-Series The Jazz Classics seies could be seen as a precursor the the OJC series: https://www.discogs.com/label/316918-Jazz-Classics-Series

I really dig Pass during the sixties - sharp attack, great groove. I never regretted getting the Mosaic box although I was on the fence for it for so long.

I have that reissue, sound is good, and it has four bonus tracks. They didn't make that availale in the US? Duh ... The cover of the new issue is a clear reference. Be careful when ordering this one, earlier CD versions did not inlude the bonus tracks. This was a US CD release, According to discogs, "Summertime" is missing, but the Lord Disco says it has the complete LP plus the four bonus tracks. https://www.discogs.com/Jeanne-Lee-Ran-Blake-The-Legendary-Duets-/release/6555141

Just one? That's real hard. But then: a disc of solo piano pieces by Déodat De Séverac - but only this recording: Jean-Joël Barbier breathes that music! I have a different edition, it is on a defunct French label, Accord.

Correct: it includes the Stockholm, Sweden, November 8, 1966 session reissued on Fresh Sound as well as a never before issued session: Studio I, Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie, Brussels, Belgium, October 21, 1966, and a session labelled "Live, Brussels, Belgium, unidentified date, 1967". The label linked above accepts PayPal, so this issue should be available the world over (@ ubu). When you click the PayPal link a whole page of releases opens, leading me to think Ran Blake had a hand in this. Many of his releases are offered.

These two received rave reviews in the latest volume of Germany's leading early music magazine, Concerto:

The tempos can be justified by research on early 18th century performance practice, but it takes excellent musicians to stay relaxed - and especially when taking the high level challenges of Bach pieces.If some players in the ensemble tend to drag the tempo, the leaders/soloists want to pull them, and this never sounds good. I haven't listened to them in a while, but mostly because I dislike the instrumental balance in the room where they record, rendering the harpsichord inaudible in many passages. And they use harpsichord types never available to Bach. I have practically everything they recorded on CDs by other ensembles in more satisfying versions.

I love the cover of the first LP sized Prestige box:

As long as it's not too much .... https://www.giordanovini.it/andrea-vino-rosso

I have that one, too, and think it does the job very nicely. Indeed a fun band.

Take a look at the Tom Lord Discography. 8 studio tracks she recorded for Columbia remain unissued - they all were re-recorded at later sessions. Looks like the United Archives box is copied off the Columbia CD releases. Shame on them. I didn't see the bonus material was from other labels. The ten tracks missing are studio tracks issued on 78's but never on "albums". Some examples: If you wanna hear them, you need the Classics CDs. They have them all, except for the alternates from the sessions with Miles.
