So you post all this crap just for fun?! EVIL !!!! I just try to give y'all some fodder to debate so's you can catch up. Something keeps teeling me this won't work ....

I betcha. If my wife comes home and I don't have supper ready, pray for me ...

working on that 4000 aren't we testaman? YEAH AND BY POSTING SUCH CRAP COUW HAS MADE THEM 4000 ALREADY ubu Some got high post counts, some got royalty - you can' have it all .... c'mon ubu, you'll be up there soon enough .... but couw will be higher .....

This Cd is THE ONLY way to start with, because that's where the music started. If that isn't jazzy enough, well, you're right, since bossa nova had little to do with jazz when it was created. Sorry, but that's a fact. Jazz musicians discovered bossa nova as a perfect vehicle for their impro, but it wasn't jazz or dependent on it in its appearance.

Purely rhetorical question. :rsly:

That's the broadcast I saw!

Every music vanishes into space ..... some just takes a little longer.

Howdya know? Ours were used - there isn't a single pair left!

They allowed those wooden shoes to cross the border into Deutschland?? My grandfather had a small factory near Frankfurt where they made these shoes for the local industry - no Dutch exclusivity here ...

A crazy idea just struck my mind: We all change our user names and avatars for one weekend, and whoever is identified is out of the game .... wouldn't that be fun ... on Monday, all back to normal.

B3-er should deactivate that option fast! Or I'm gonna change to "Klaatu" ...

I'm afraid that reviewer expects the perfection of a studio date from a live recording, which can't be what this one is all about. This is plain fun, like in the olde days of tenor battles and greasy organ/tenor dates, the spirit is great, I almost smell the smoke in the lounge ... Carter doesn't occupy more solo space than the others, there's a spirit of camaraderie over that record. It's a pity they couldn't include the Aretha tracks or more of the other instrumentals. How abouit a Vol.2? Bought this yesterday and enjoy it thoroughly!

Thanks for clearing this up! I knew the story from the liner about Shorter reconstructing the date and suspected he mixed something up. That Tyner session with Shorter rather reads like a mixture of the Extensions LP (which had Shorter and is excellent, IMHO) and the Sahara LP, Tyner's first on Milestone. Maybe this session was one of the kicks leading to Eric Gravatt (who was with Tyner at the time) and Mouzon switching drum chairs - I remember an interview in German Jazz Podium magazine where Shorter stated Jack deJohnette and Eric Gravatt were both interested but had other comittments at the time. No way this was a funk session - Vitous first electric bass recordings, to my knowledge, were on Weather Report's Sweetnighter and on his second LP as a leader, Purple, for SONY in Japan. I saw the band on a German TV special recorded during their first European tour, with Mouzon still on board, but Dom Um Romao just arrived in lieu of Airto, and Vitous played some electric bass on that show. I'll have to look up wether he played electric on the Japanese Live double LP.

I have the One Way reissue of Moto Grosso Feio which gives August 26, the same date as for Iska. Didn't make sense to me. I had the Blue Note BN-LA issue before with the same later date. Thanks. Now: I've read somewhere there is an unissued McCoy Tyner / Wayne Shorter session, and believe it was the same date as one of these? Is this another error or two sessions mixed up?

I know that Odyssey of Iska and Moto Grosso Feio show the same recording date in the liner, but is this really true? Can anybody verify this from the Blue Note discography? Thanks!

Just curious - no need to run into stores to check it out! The Lateef was the first that I saw as digipak, all others in that batch and all others before were mini-LP sleeves. Thanks for the input!

You bet he did! Congrats, Charlieboy!

If that Prestige Box has 11 CDs it MUST include unissued material and/or add the Jazzland date.

No wonder - all pianist/composers after Bach had their daily dose of the Well-Tempered-Clavier. Schumann had it always handy on top of the piano, it is reported. I once heard Andreas Staier play the solo cadenza from Schumann's Piano Concerto in straight tempo, non rubato, and then you can hear it. Only then. If most pianist would play more straight time (Mendelssohn was reported to require this from his students), you would hear more Bach than ever.

I have the "LPR" of Yusef Lateef's "The Golden Flute" and it's a digipak. Now I don't mind, but what the f...? Are there any others belying the series' name?

My copy has the repro of the original back cover, but it's not much: That's all there is - print it out and fold it up, put it inside. No clarinets nor baritones or altos mentioned ....

I suspect they have a techno engineer - that's the music they make money with - doing these remasterings with his right hand constantly occupied by holding Hamburgers, his right eye on the secretary's legs and his right ear on the mobile phone. I don't know what he does with the left organs - but I'm pretty sure they're not doing the remastering either!

$ 225,00 !!! No wonder I never bought it. It might be worth it, musically. The ZYX edition was too flimsy for my taste.

VERY interesting to compare these poll results with those on the other thread! Anybody here voted differently on both?
