Well how do ya like that? Nice find Hans...I completely missed it! Kevin, that faulty burn isn't a 'South-of-the-Mason-Dixon- Line' Special is it?

Anyone know if either of his Smash/Trip titles have been released on cd? They're both nice lps...one w/Thad Jones & the other w/Hutcherson. There was an Argo one as well that might have come out a few years back but I've not heard it.

Good idea.....I just used that e-mail 'alert' service of theirs.

Translation: I'd certainly never nail some guy in the head with a tire iron in order to score a Conn or two for my collection.....but if he happened to be leaning out the window and my foot suddenly.....oh well !

Vijay already voted.....how 'bout you?

HLK, I'm fairly certain that these titles will be coming out as promised but not all on the same date in May. In fact, a good dozen or so are now available for purchase....and some (like 9026/9027) are not.

Thanks folks.....I'll definitely add this one to my wish list (when's Father's Day? June? )

Thanks HKL. So you think that this issue has been suspended or maybe cancelled altogether? Geez David, I don't rank a 'thanks' for reciting these from memory and individually typing out all those infernal cat. numbers rather than just cutting and pasting one long long list ? Such manners! B) Well, I did forget 9026 & 9027 though...sloppy work.

Well, while you two were gazing deeply into one anothers eyes, I sure hope you reminded him to keep searching around in that closet of his for the Lee Morgan radio show tape that he stashed away----we're dying to hear it.

I've had the Herbie Harper Sextet blaring away in my car for at least 6 weeks now and have decided that I should make an effort to try to scoop up some of his other material. I saw a blurb over on the AMG about the Complete Nocturne Recordings (Fresh Sounds) and despite the fact that they sort of downplayed the 2nd & 3rd discs, it looks like a real good one to go after...particularly with those Levy and Rowles trio sessions. I've seen the set over at the Fresh Sounds site at a reasonably price.......is it worth picking up? And how is the Virgil Gonsalves material? Never even heard of him.

David, don't know where that laundry list is either but from the first 25 that appeared in the series I think they are re-pressing: 9001 (adderley) 9002 (Clark) 9003 (blakey) 9004 (powell) 9005 (coltrane) 9006 (hancock) 9007 (clark) 9008 (morgan) 9009 (Blakey) birland 1 9010 (Blakey) birdland 2 9011 (Rollins) 9012 (Morgan) 9013 (McLean) 9022 (Miles) vol. 1 9023 (Miles (vol.2) 9025 (Dorham) 9029 (T. Jones) Noticeably absent are titles like Open Sesame, True Blue, Bass on Top, etc

Chris, FYI. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...t=ST&f=14&t=678 Maybe the moderator actually locked the thread down because of your snappy photo? You & Berigan should form an ad agency.

Marian McPartland "At The Hickory House" (TOCJ-5440).

Don't you mean Bernie Green??

.....and not to forget the Jazztet's "Another Git Together" (Mercury)

Your observation is not true.. I wrote a satirical entry on this bulletin board and it was censored by B3er. Then they sent an E-Mail and told me "to consider a different jazz bulletin board". I have never posted an entry on this bulletin board since then although I still browse occasionally. Interesting, although I'm sure they had a good reason to delete or censor what you may have posted. You are the first person I've heard of who has actually been censored on this board. I've heard of threads being deleted and whatnot but only because their function was basically no longer serving a purpose (eg. Offering and Looking For threads). Jimmy Gee is correct about this and I remember exactly when it happend and also thinking it was a bit odd that the thread was shut down because..........well, just scroll back through the political threads to April 10 and you'll find his. Kind of funny actually ------ picture Johnny, Catesta, Albertson, Weizen, Ron, Berigan, Moose, Alex, Dan & Conn500 all jammed into an apartment living room yelling, drinking, turning over furniture, smoking and fighting about political stuff 'till 4:00 am on a weekday and nothing happens........but then Jimmy puts his trash can out on the curb a day early and gets served with an eviction notice.

For the umpteenth time -- Harold Land "Take Aim". If BN can work the magic on Mobley's "Flip" LP --which is one of the 'tinniest' sounding recordings I've ever heard --and spit that out as a Connoisseur, 'Take Aim' should be mere child's play for them.

I haven't yet hit a Hope disc that I disliked. There's one I've been spinning lately called "Sounds From Rikers Island" from '63 or '64 that made it to cd in Japan (Century Records) in the late 80's and features a larger group including John Gilmore (ts), Fred Douglass (as), Lawrence Jackson (tp), Philly Joe, and a few others (even Earl Coleman belting out a couple of numbers that to my untrained ear aren't anything to write home about). This is certainly no RVG recording....but it swings along nicely and Hope sounds pretty good on tracks like "Ecstasy", "Trippin" and my personal favorite, "Kevin".

I fail to understand why people are so keen on things like ignore functions. These types of cyber boards are supposed to be an eclectic combination of substance, non-substance, serious, half-baked, humorous and irritating stuff -- so putting filters in place seems to defeat the whole spirit of the thing (imo). I skim just about everything that is available regardless of who the author is. Some of the more interesting factoids I've picked up were submitted by people that I'd like to see drinking Billy Beer for an eternity.

Oh okay, I'd never checked out the domestic set and the TOCJs are without "Chant", "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and "Theme from Mr. Lucky". Sounds like this upcoming 1/2 Note set will be a good one to pick up.

Hey, I kinda feel for the kid.....I'd rant & rave too if I my father insisted on taking me and my buddies to some Count Basie reunion concert for my birthday rather than that Limp Bizkit show we're dying to hit.

That Bryd Half Note Vol. 2 will have a few extra tracks on it. Anyone know if these will actually be new/different titles or just alt. takes?

First Evans vinyl I ever purchased was that other Milestone two-fer from '82 called "The 'Interplay' Sessions"....with the Zoot Sims session and all ("Loose Bloose", etc...). Great stuff!

Aw come on Chris.....you had a good one with the "AARP" comment & there's no need to follow the lead of others and come back to take a personal shot.

Drop Tanno a line...he found one for me a few months ago.
