Happy birthday!

Oh yeah and that one too... Listened to it a lot this year. For those of you who can speak the ancient language of Moses, there is a review on my website about all Dizzy related big bands. http://www.geocities.com/ztrauq22/bigband/dizzy/dizzy.htm Haven't listened to it for a while. I seem to recall though that the sound was pretty muddled? Cheers!

I'm lost. What could be a reason for NOT wanting to listen to Bill Evans? Did I miss something here? I think it's often beautiful music. Cheers!

I'm still missing that one. As far as I recall, and without checking right now, aren't there different version (Japanese) with the +1 or +3 added? Are there more alternate takes? Or what? Stupid question? What's the definitive edition to get? Cheers!

Interesting. I just thought about exactly that the other day. Without any proof whatsoever I do think that you're on to something there regarding the shifting tone. ================================================== And, Larry, your book is at the top of my shopping list, but I hope my dad will get it for me. Am looking forward to it, one way or the other. Cheers!

I could send you a couple of burns ....

Would you like to give us a ranking order or is that it? Disc three is a blast. But hell, I ain't gonna rank the set. I just love it. Fun. Fun. Fun. Cheers!

Nice to see that someone enjoys this box as much as I do. It seems to be rarely discussed or listed amongst people's favorite boxes. This is a Blue Note board, mostly (but not only!). I have absolutely no problem with that, especially because I'm getting good tips here and am learning quite a bit, but it is only a select few ( ) who actually appreciate this kind of stuff as much as we do. The Lionel Hampton/OP set is exactly what I like and together with, for example, something like the Norman Granz Count Basie Jam DVD, which is a blast to watch because everyone involved is just having clean easy fun, it embodies what I personally like about jazz. Swing. Fun. Groove. Yes, there's tons of other places to find that, and because of many recommendations on this board I AM finding it in many other places, but I always return to mostly small group swing sessions to get my motor running ... Cheers!

Agustín, you're being obnoxious. As usual.

PM sent! If it is, I'm sure you can always contact someone else from the list to get a copy. Cheers!

JimR, these 3 are kick-ass records! all 3... the charlap has, IMHO, been very underrated. look for a new new york trio record on venus next month! cheers + a very merry christmas, -e- I don't have the Higgins, but I say "Yeah" to the others. And yes, the Charlap is much better than what some people have been saying about it. Just played it today. Cheers!

Thanks very much everyone! I don't have much time to write at the moment, but I'm keeping a close eye on this thread. Dan ... yes, I need some Three Sounds recommendations. Make it a shopping list ... Thanks again! Cheers! Edit: typo

Happy birthday!

Excellent summary.

I'll check it out! Thanks!

I have that one! I forgot to mention that I have a rather large Ray Brown collection as well. Cheers!

Believe me, I'm still a Gene Harris fanatic but that was my handle at the BNBB and I decided a change was in order when I registered here. Ah. I didn't know. Cheers!

P.S.: Why "former"?
