New CD reissue on Liberation Hall with the two bonus tracks, seems to be properly licensed. Excellent sound.

My preference, too. I really can relate to what you are saying.

Once more for the morning coffee - I love this music and the way he plays it.

I do, and it is an improvement, but not the same as before, of course. At least I cannot afford the high end models, and what I want is not available anywhere. A high end multi-band equalizer would serve me better.

... and me. With my hearing loss, sonic upgrades make little sense.

Anyone heard this? https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/ronnie-cuber-albums/1886-cubism.html

... only the Coronation Anthems.

If l had it, l certainly would be.

That was my impression, too.

To me, one of the indispensable jazz books.

Exactly!

The only complete CD issue of Shearing's Savoy recordings. All others omitt "George's Boogie" that was on a rare 78. BTW: The track listing on the tray card is nonsense. Discogs shows the correct sequence: https://www.discogs.com/release/4719602-George-Shearing-So-Rare

https://museum-wiesbaden.de/zwintscher Excellent retrospective on a neglected Saxonian painter, Oskar Zwintscher (1870-1916) whose portraIts are stunning.

I just received a newsletter from Dutch label Challenge that looks like they are continuing the Criss Cross label. "Teekens' family intends to sustain the label and keep the legacy alive" https://www.challengerecords.com/catalogue/1184071128/Criss Cross

I think it depends more on our local internet providers than on the forum's server. I have noticed respnse speed varies, but is pretty fast most of the time.

Jim is a busy man and on the road, me thinks. Just be a little patient.

romualdo bet me to it. 👍

The OJC CD was the first issue of these three tracks.

I have this set, too. The sound on original LPs or Verve CD reissues is only slightly better. What bothers me more is that it does not include the piano solos and the few tracks where Shearing plays accordion. I have these on two compilations. Together with the Savoy material it would be even better. I just happened to order a copy of an oop Vogue CD that includes the one track US reissues always omitted, "George's Boogie Woogie".
