Thanks Scott for the review! Re: Black Dahlia, a question: How is just the SACD stereo mix?-as I use only the Stereo layer on my SACD player-I have only 2 speakers, so multi-channel is of no use to me. Thanks, Jeff

Anybody bought/ or heard the Blue Train SACD yet? Still wondering about how good it sounds!!

As someone who has both the lp and CD of "Blue Train", I've been wondering if it is truly a "must buy" to get the SACD version being released tomorrow? Looking forward to hearing just "how good" the SACD is... Thanks, folks!

Is this Jazzmessengers-formerly Planet Jazz- owned by the folks that own Blue Moon/Fresh Sound? I could not find the URL for jazzmessengers so I went into the Blue Moon site and found their Spanish Blue note re-issues. The same ones mentioned in this thread were listed there for 5.75 euro. I found "Cliff Jordan" (as opposed to "Cliff Craft") a 1957 session in which Lee Morgan, John Jenkins, and others play on. Was this session only issued as a TOCJ? I've never seen it mentioned as any other title. 5.75 euro was a great price but they wanted 11.75 euro as shipping Sounded a little outrageous to me!!! Is "Cliff Jordan" definetely worth getting?

I found out that the actual issue is Jan. 1959-not '58. Still have not found the issue-but thanks to Michael Fitzgerald's advice I did pick up a copy of the book, "The Great Jazz Day", which is all about that day in Harlem! It's a great book!

Which internet dealer has the best advance purchase price on the Hodges Proper box? Doesn't the Blue Moon Hodges set have ALL the same material as the Proper set? Any help out there with the discography differences?

MANY THANKS, MIKE! Glad I did not buy the Jan. 1958 issue! I'll look for the book as well.

Thanks, Tod! I posted on the Harlem site-should have thought of that site earlier! Hopefully, someone there may have some leads! Has anyone on this board ever seen the Esquire issue?

In the video of "Jazz in Harlem"-showing the famous photo by Art Kane-there is reference to an Esquire Magazine edition-Jan. 1958??-in which the photos taken that day were printed. Does anyone out there have this edition of Esquire? I'd sure like to get my hands on a copy-or even at a minimum just see the magazine article! So far E-bay has had no offerings and local old periodicals shops in my area-Portland-have had no copies. Any help/leads out there? Thanks!

I saw Rhoda Scott at last years Monterey Jazz Festival where she played with Houston Person-one of-if not the best-Hammond B-3 live sessions I have ever heard. IMHO, it was the highlight of the whole festival. Greezy organ and soulful tenor of Houston's-life doesn't get much better! Her Jazz in Paris cds are great-but live is where it's at! -jazzkrow (glad to be here!)
