Chick Corea "Tones for Joan's Bones" (Vortex). Joe Chambers is amazing on this album, never heard him play like this elsewhere!

I second this! "Summertime" has everything that "Troubled Waters" lacks. Good Sebesky arrengements and CTI production - still on the A&M imprint at the time - at its best. It's exciting to hear the rhythm section of Hancock, Carter and Leo Morris or Airto behind Desmond; despite the big band and the reverb they are quite audible. Only offered as a download from the Verve site, but it may still be possible to get this from Japan, and not too expensive. Or get the LP!

I recently returned to eBay after some time, and to me it appears as if the prices on jazz LPs are about as before. But I noticed two differences: lots of Japanese pressings, and sniping en masse. If you're measuring in Euros the reason might be that the dollar has dropped about 30 percent in a couple of year.

"Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 weeks", which means they don't really have it in stock. But it's cheap anyway...

This is more up to date: http://www.jazz-book.com/disc1.htm

The complete version for those who are not already subcribers (and paid a lot from the start) is much more. But I take it it's better than Lord anyway.

The fifth trio session in the UCCJ-9082/86 Corea box will be with Hadrien Feraud and Richie Barshay.

My opinion is that saying that prayers won't do it is no more in place than accusing someone who wishes George Cables all the best for not praying. That said, I really hope George is going to get well.

It would be an understatement to say that I don't give much for Clementine's posting style, but actually there was no bunch of guys; only one - albeit very hostile - post, following a possibly uncareful question.

No, he was covering Mary Martin. The movie was made in 1965.

Recently I bought a CD from Aebersold's (rather new) eBay business. After a couple of weeks I got an email asking me submit feedback. I responded that I had not recieved the item, that it's not unusual with an overseas shipping time of more than two weeks and that I assumed that I'd gotten an automated message. I received no comment on my response, but when I finally got the CD it turned out it had been posted two weeks after the end of the auction; in fact the day before I got the email...

I think at least the Quincy Jones (a nice, but ultimately lightweight album) was, but there are a couple of other releases as well. CDUniverse gives October 9 as "street date"; Verve's website has them as "upcoming" on both September 18 and October 9, but a search in the catalog will only come up with the old reissues, or even none at all. http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/buzz.aspx?bid=37 9.18.2007 Diana Krall - The Very Best Of Diana Krall - Verve Billie Holiday - Lady Sings the Blues - Catalog/Reissue - Verve Duke Ellington & Coleman Hawkins - Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins - Catalog/Reissue - Verve Stanley Clarke - Children Are Forever - Catalog/Reissue - Verve Ella Fitzgerald - Ella in Hamburg - Catalog/Reissue - Verve Ella Fitzgerald - Live at Mister Kelly's - Catalog/Reissue - Verve Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Porgy And Bess Gato Barbieri - Ruby Ruby - Catalog/Reissue - A&M Jazz George Benson - The Shape of Things to Come - Catalog/Reissue - A&M Jazz Gil Evans Orchestra - Out Of The Cool - Catalog/Reissue - Impulse!

I think "Study in Brown" is the best Brown/Roach album. It has it all.

Porcy, check out these threads (a bit old, but...): Bruyninckx A-Z completed Bruyninckx or Lord?

Great info Reinier, since I was planning to order the individual CDs!

Yes, I also think it's boring. I actually traded it back to the record shop after one day.

Does this analogy hold? If my favorite spy novel author writes a cookbok - do I have to like, or even read, that?

Welcome back, brownie! The trick with Caiman seems to be to only order titles which are known to be in print. Caiman can list anything as "In stock" on Amazon marketplace, but if it's an OOP title they will not have it, but charge your credit card anyway and then you'll have to ask for a refund. Usually no problem, but if there's currency conversion involved there will always be a slight loss.

While Tatum sat at the Disklavier? Maybe it's no match for Tatum, but I've tried a Disklavier, and didn't think it was like playing a real piano.

Le=the, if that's what you mean.

Thanks, Reinier!

Anyone know what this is? Cat.no. is in sequence with UCCJ 3018 "From Miles" and UCCJ 3019 "Monk's Mood, so perhaps more of that (according to Reinier trios with Gomez/DeJohnette and McBride/Ballard).

This is likely to occasionally cause scratches. When the disc is loaded, the surface of the disc is in contact with the loading mechanism. If done right (reliable software for extractning, high quality CDRs etc.) you will not hear any difference. A decent alternative could be a HTPC with a good external D/A converter (for best possible sound). That way you could play back anything you want directly from the hard drive. No, it sounds reasonable enough. I apologize for the totally humour-free answer.
