A note in the Mosaic set says the Blue Moon Cds were not licensed properly. But they reissue some stuff - most of their CDs, actually - that's not available elsewhere. The other labels usually concentrate on the albums promising higher sales, the Shorter, Morgan, Kelly, Chambers and MJT stuff. So I'd say get the others from Blue Moon - and they often reissue two LPs on one CD. Anybody compared sound quality? I know the Buddy deFranco VeeJay sounds better on Blue Moon.

Still noone who compared the two Koller/Zoller/Pettiford/Pratt releases? I always wondered if they might be identical when reading the entires in the discographies. The Black Lion is indeed marvellous, so I'd buy any additional material on the spot. The Vienna Blues session was recorded January 12, 1959 in Vienna, and the song titles with their accurate composer credits do not look like some foul deal or mixup - I'd say both are different. Off to the shops!!! The Zoller/Koller/Solal has an excellent reputation - it is a great tribute to one of Europe's great jazz musiciand that these Koller recordings are finally available again.

Forgot there is a Lucky Thompson solo on his Candid CD, where he switches back and forth between tenor and soprano.

Billy Pierce did two nice saxophone solos on his 1991 Sunnyside CD "One for Chuck", "Solar" and "I'm getting sentimenatl over you".

They (or more probably Vitous) were changing their mind somewhere during the recording process, and perhaps had to meet a deadline ... And one certainly would not expect overdubs from these musicians in this combination! I'm sure they would have had a ball playing live together in a studio!

The Decca "Classic Early Solos" is a single CD and includes the following: August 22, 1934: 38387 Moonglow 38389 When a woman loves a man 38390 Emaline 38391 Love Me 38392 Cocktails for two (all -A takes) August 24, 1934: 38426 After you've gone 38429 Ill wind 38430 The shout 38432 Liza (all -A takes) October 9, 1934: 38388-C I would do anything for you 38389-D When a woman loves a man 38426-C After you've gone 38427-C Stardust 38428-C I ain't got nobody 38431-C Beautiful love 38432-D Liza November 29, 1937: 62822 Gone with the wind 62823 Stormy weather 62824 Chlo-E- 62825 The sheik of Araby (all -A takes) These are the correct dates and master numbers, the October 9 session was held primarily for re-takes.

No need for shipment. It's already there - everywhere!

No!!! I vote for Brazil played with some New Orleans funk rhythm underneath ... The Ape Women would be nice, and that Zappa tune from Zoot Allures someone mentioned in that jazzy Zappa thread. Go ahead, you will sell more than of the first CD, I can feel it coming.

Simply too many to choose from, so get them all ... Some rarities that merit attention: Johnny Griffin - Change of Pace Les Spann - Gemini ... both have Julius Watkins, as do the Jimmy Heath Riverside Sextets Blue Mitchell's Riversides Budd Johnson I love the Cal Tjader Latin Jazz sessions, but his straightahead dates are fine too Vince Guaraldi Trios with Eddie Duran (watch out, one CD is a compliation of the other two!) any Don Patterson!!! he coaxed the best out of Sonny Stitt!

Certainly not - it only shows your sincere love for the music and its creators. But they would want you to listen to it, for sure!

... and go broke and wreck my marriage even faster ... B)

Chuck, I happened to revisit these posts just a few moments ago - I understand better now.

Koch was bought by one of the bigger ones - so get what you can from the reissues they have done and don't expect any new ones. They were an important classical label here in Germany and the new owners deleted substantial parts of the catalogue with no regards to musicla value!

Has anybody heard and can recommend this one?

Among many other things, this is what I found there:

I thought I'd post these here, for those who don't know (yet) - any others or comments are welcome! The Hammond Grounds Theatre Organ Home Page

Thank Ya!!!

Broom expressed some dissatisfaction with his two Criss Cross Cds in the liner to Modern Man: they were one shot deals, six hours in the studio to get it down, that was it. "The magic was not there", he put it. But if you find them to be that good, imagine how Modern Man grooves ....

The Criss is a soild effort with plenty to enjoy it's a quintet with guitar , bass, drums, piano/ organ . Very well recorded. The French studios really seem to have got their act together by this point (1963) There is an additional Criss session on the JiP "Saxophones from St Germain..." set. I wouldnt go out of my way to get hold of "Mr Blues pour..." as it really shares allot in common with other Criss session more readily available such as the Alladin 2CD set. One of the original issues of that Criss material from Paris even included one track from his Imperial sessions, mistitled etc. There was a nice Fresh Sound box set in the 1980's with the complete Paris Criss sessions, it would easily have fitted on one CD! The Max Roach is, of course, part of the Mosaic set.

Here 'tis. My web search to his site led me to the wrong pages. Oh my God, one more to get ...

I had this but couldn't bear the sound: Blythe wanted a "hard cut" for it as with the popular soul music of the time, and this made it sound harsh, overly bright, although the playing of all involved was good. I hope they remedy this on a Legacy CD reissue - if there will be one, which I doubt.

Is it this one you're talking about?

This is finally listed on the Savant website. Any new opinions on this?

I waited six months to get this: and it was worth the wait. Someone (Soul Stream?) recommended this in another thread (Rodney Jones?) and I ordered this from Amazon.de, but they were unable to get it! I ordered it from Delmarks mail order partner JazzRecordMart and got it within ten days ..... Jim Sangrey would like this: with Ronnie Cuber and Lonnie Smith Broom has two members of the 1960's George Benson quartet on board, and the former has not been playing with such a groove for years. (Broom acknowledges the Benson LPs as a source of inspiration.) Idris Muhammad handles the drumsticks. Well, I like it too and recommend it and invite discussion of this and Broom in general: I also enjoyed his playing in Kenny Burrell's three-guitar band, so could it be there is another great player that hardly anybody talks about?! This organ records swings as hard and is more inspired than most I've heard during the last ten years! (If it had the slightly crisper and warmer sound of Javon Jackson's last Palmetto CD with the Turbanator, and this the groove of Broom's, we would be in Hammond heaven ...).

As I have those too, I think I can do it ...
