I took it Kari wanted to play the actual theme for 'Red Clay', but with a new melody there is of course no problem. But it's not like the changes for 'Red Clay' are that revolutionary, so then it isn't even 'Red Clay' anymore.

Regardless how much you rearrange "Red Clay" it would still be a Freddie Hubbard composition and thus subject to copyright. To make it OK, you would have to rearrange it into a completely new composition, and there is no definitive answer for when that would be.

The box is all studio sessions, so none of the Lighthouse recordings are included. The different Lighouses you've got are probably reasonably representative for the respective year of recording - during the decade covered by the box their sound and style changed from some kind of early 60s soul-jazz, via post-bop to a rather different kind of late 60s soul-jazz.

JSngry perhaps meant the musical notes as played by Mariano?

I think Jazzmoose rather meant that truth≠eBay feedback. I'm not defending the system which has its obvious flaws, but it will sometimes turn against sellers as well. There are unreasonable/clueless bidders who leave bad feedback for reasons like "I didn't like the film". EBay will neither remove that feedback (though of course the sellers will punish the bidders by leaving bad feedback in return).

Tributes, that is.

Honestly, I thought noone below the age of 25 was a "physical album kinda guy"...

I'm no Mac expert, but I take it there are USB devices (external sound cards) which work with a Mac as well. Try a Google search for "sound card" "macintosh" and "USB", and avoid anything in the sub $50 range as it's likely to be crap. BTW, here's a 6-page review of the Xitel INport.

Miles and Quincy Jones did Miles and Gil Evans... And lots of pianists have done Bill Evans.

I wish you a very happy birthday, Porcy! (And I'd also like to echo sidewinder's hopes for a vinyl-filled day... )

Chuck's post rang a bell, and a search came up with this: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...st&p=314510 Actually I've got two of the Saba/MPS albums in the set. The "Music for 4 soloists & band" album has some good solos from Hubbard, Shihab et al. No idea why two tracks are omitted from the box. The other album I've got is "As You Like It". Haven't listened to it in years, presumably for a reason.

Happy 194th!!!

'Jazz et Jazz - Jazz Experiments, conducted by Andre Hodeir' (Philips, mono) This album has some weird stuff, for example a backwards Kenny Clarke solo! Martial Solal is prominently featured.

Could you tell something more about this session? Could this be the same recording as the Columbia album 'Jazz in Europe', recorded in Saarbrücken, Germany in 1962?

Pierre Boulez 'Pli Selon Pli' (disc one of the two LP set "Boulez Conducts Boulez", CBS Masterworks)

Tschaikowsky: Piano concerto no. 1 in B flat minor, Richter/Karajan/Wiener Symphoniker (DG, 2nd pressing tulip label)

'Hank Jones Trio Plus the Flute of Bobby Jaspar' (original Savoy)

Kenny Dorham 'Una Mas' (BN, UA) Tyone Washington 'Natural Essence' (BN, Toshiba)

Says who? Dagogo? It was wise of jazz1 not to include a link to the source for this text. I did a google search for a phase from the text and was pointed to the Dagogo site. At the moment I entered that web page my anti-virus program alerted me that it (the web page) was trying to plant a virus on my computer.

I checked, and you're right. Most certainly to cut costs. I think so - if the initial run is selling out, that is. The Sony guy (not that he knows everything, but I trust him on this) said that the long boxes are much cheaper to produce - understandably - and that further, presumably smaller, runs of previous boxes therefore are manufactured in this design.

Europe was also almost two decades behind the US in adopting colour TV.

Got this one today (not by mail, but from a friend at Sony-BMG ), but will wait until the weekend before I start to get through the box. BTW, it's almost impossible to get the book/discs out of the box.

Not an aswer to your question about Black Lion vs. Arista/Freedom, but this thread has some comments regarding the various Black Lion pressings: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=26436

Enough copies of an OOP disc will theoretically affect the possibility of a legit reissue. If it's a rare album, which is in reality not too good there will be less demand for a reissue once people have had their curiousity satisfied. For example, if everyone around here had actually heard Andrew Hill's 'Dance With Death', how many would have bought the CD reissue? To me, that album seems to be a typical example of a really obscure album which was very hard to come by, much talked about, but in the end not so exciting when ity finally came out.
