My thoughts exactly!

So one can change the board name without having the post count being set back to "1"?

Not exactly today's buy, but arrived after several weeks since I placed the order: Highly recommended!

I almost dare not say it, but I lost most of the hard bop stuff on Blue Note after listening to it for more than ten years. I had a complete 1500 series collection and sold most of it. I still can appreciate its contributions, but I'm afraid I've listened enough hours. But this happens to me all the time with many different types of music, so it may be only temporarily.

That back cover posted above, BTW, is only the lower half, with the album title pasted in, cut to coveniently fit a CD case and still be readable.

Priester covered a wide range of styles in his career. Consider the leaders he played for as a sideman: Sun Ra Max Roach Art Blakey Herbie Hancock Duke Ellington His own records covered hard bop, electronic funk, free improvisation. I have a CD titled Quartet, a collaborative effort using free improvisation, with Jay Clayton, Gary Peacock and Jerry Granelli, that comes off pretty well. His contributions to Reggie Workman's two excellent CDS on the Postcards label are worth hearing, as is the duo CD on that label with Sam Rivers. So in his favour, I guess he had a bad night .....

I just sent rockefeller center a PM with a link to this post and asked him to decide - let's see ... B)

Now it is ... B)

Hm .... anybody here wanna buy my mint condition CD for US $ 80 ?

"You Gotta Take A Little Love" still awaits a US reissue. No wonder some people get ideas like this. Was there a Japanese reissue?

Thanks for pointing this out - I was aware of this, but am not willing to pay $ 55 for a used CD!

Don't forget the Columbia label name belonged to British EMI at the time ... These complex distribution deals are what make the otherwise nice photos in the book so useless as a discographical reference.

I got it as a present from some who thought it was great - I couldn't break her jazz heart, though ...

Portrait of the artist as a young woman ?

I have that book. When I browsed through the discographical pages or the recommendations, I wished I could cut the author's throat with a blunt knife. he seems to ignore every non-British issue made after he acquired his collection. Since most of these have different covers, titles or tracks it is almost useless to the non-British collector, and even the islanders won't have much fun considering the issues available today. Splendi isolation lives on in the head of this diehard old-fashioned collector. The text and historical outines in the book are okay, but the discographical part is a desaster, considering it is supposed to be a buyer's guide. For those interested in historic British reissues, the book is John Fordham, Jazz. I have the German translation, and the fact it was translated and "editorially worked over" by Peter Niklas Wilson, one of Germany's better jazz authors, doesn't shed a good light on the book or the budgets involved. Sonny Rollins wrote an intoduction ...

I' totally in agreement with your comment on the Verve boneheads. After the Charlie Parker Verve box set I thought they would give Dizzy the same complete treatment. But no, they did that 4 CD set called Dizzy's Diamonds. Not Kenny Washington's fault, who did a great job considering the wealth of material. I think it was the sheer quantity that made them shy away from a complete set. But they could have split it up into several sets featuring his working groups including the big band, special projects, and all star collaborations including sideman dates. They wouldn't have sold less copies than a Nina Simone set.

If it's illegal - is there any precedent? Papers etc. protect those parts of their sites with copyright protection by passwords, everything that is freely accessible should be quotable - but please all make sure you give th source of the quote. A link, IMO, functions pretty much the same way as a quote, doesn't it?

The name of the man in question is Tadayuki Naito. It is only one gull, by the way ...

Technically, this is all possible, but there is Eicher's perfectionism standing against it ...

Thanks a lot, bownie!

In addition to my saturday purchases - went to Zweitausendeins at Frankfurt once more, to get a birthday present for our godson: John Coltrane, Birthday Celebration ( ), a 3 CD selection of his sessions for Prestige and Riverside. Got the last in store copies of some more Atlantic reissues: The Blue Yusef Lateef Hank Crawford, More Soul Pete Christlieb & Warne Marsh, Apogee

Oh you lucky guy - they're still on my wish list. Please don't take me wrong - I rank Wolff among the great jazz photographers along with Leonard, Claxton, Friedman, you name 'em. It's jsut that particular photo that doesn't get me. Aren't there any others any one of you thinks it's not so great? Don't wanna put him down, but we all know the really great ones, and this thread is about the misses.

Am I right when I assume this Barclay LP licensed Monk Trios from Prestige, or was it Blue Note or Riverside?

C'mon, you were on the bright side for a long time .....

Perhaps I would like it better without that bulky piece of microphone or whatever it is.
