In the online Tom Lord disco the line up is the same.

I recomend this set. If only for the session with Benny Carter. Nothing wrong with the collaborations with Dizzy either.

The Coleman Hawkins box will be a no brainer. Would love a Lucky Thompson Box (select or big box) any year . Chick Webb/Ella Fitzgerald box glad that will be 2012, financialy speaking.

Of the 10 names to choose from I like Ben Webster most folowed by Chu Berry and Dexter Gordon. Not on the list: Don Byas, Stan Getz, Lucky Thompson, Paul Gonsalves. But me liking these players does not mean they are influencial. I read somewhere that at music schools saxophone pupils have to learn Gonsalves solo's by heart.

The LP as such not but the whole session is on Solo Art SACD 21 "Then You'll Remember Me"

If you want to hear more of Fess' stuff there are the following CD's Retrieval RTR 79032 Pre-Victors The complete set 1925 - 1927 and Jazz Oracle 8041 Fess Williams 1926-30 (2CD) This Set has the Victor's and some alternate takes to the Retrieval.

No nothing like that happend to me. I don't use Pay Pal much and am living in the Netherlands.

The European Commission who issued the directive was not democratically elected, as no European government is in a parliamentary system, but the directive was approved by the European Parliament, wchich was democratically elected. Besides, the directive will have to be turned into legislation by all national parliaments of the EU member states, which are all democratically elected. Yes your right. It won't be easy to reverse this directive. I don't think it will play even a minor role in the next election for the European Parliament. But I'll stop here discussing Europian Union and democracy that would belong in the Politics section.

Why is it a bizarre decision? Because it will affect Hep too? I would name it bizarre because it's retroactive. Products that have been on the market legaly for years now become illegal. If record companies would keep their entire catalogue in stock then I wouldn't object.

Question: Who voted for the people who took that decision? Right answer: Nobody

Sorry -- don't have strong memories of it. I do very much like the "The Big Sound" date on Verve and the RCA Hodges-Strayhorn big band album, plus the Hodges 1956-61 small-group things that Granz recorded and that came out in a Mosaic box. The The Big Sound date is included in the Hodges 1956-1961 Mosaic set. Talk about failing memory -- I bought "The Big Sound" separately a good many years after I bought the Mosaic set. From 'The Big Sound' only the second session of September 3, 1957 is on the Mosaic Set. The sessions of June 26, 1957 and the first session of September 3 1957 are big band recordings and thus not included on this small groups set. So you were right to buy the Fresh Sound.

Yes it has a 24 page booklet.

Thanks all of you. I had a very nice day and just had a very good meal (here it is 10:40 PM). Now listening to Isham Jones on Timeless Historical.

The Jazz Oracle "Jelly Roll" Morton is not on the market yet but there is already an announcement for a next one. http://www.worldsrecords.com/cgi-bin/storeR.cgi?specific=itemcode&phrase=72656 The Merritt Brunies sides were issued last year on Retrieval sandwiched between a lot of recordings already available on Timeless Historical. The newest Jazz Oracle has all of them plus some tracks from New Orleans that have not been on CD before. Like the Scranton Sirens Orchestra. The Red Nichols sets have arrived safely. :)

Soon On Retrieval: The California Ramblers on Edison. http://www.challengerecords.com/product/1308823413

Frog just announced DGF77 Johnny Dodds On Paramount. A 2 CD set featuring all of Johhny Dodds recordings on Paramount. Track list: http://www.frog-records.co.uk/_pages/dgf77.htm

Hip-o now has the studio version of Flamingo as a free MP3 download. Downloading doesn't work in Firefox but it works in Internet Explorer.

I think he's one of the best with Ted Kendall and Nick Dellow to name a few of the great sound restorers. For a partial list of Hans Eekhoff's work I refer to post 43 in the Jazz Oracle tread.

Well how about the 4 Ragtime to jazz volumes on Timeless. I find this stuff fascinating. I am looking forward to the Jazz Oracle collecting all early Jelly Roll Morton Band recordings. The Retrieval solo piano disc and the JSP Victor set are not to be missed either.

Mark Tucker writes in Duke Ellington The Early Years page 95 "He had become friendly with Willie "The Lion" SMITH, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller and other musicians whom he had met at clubs and jam sessions. So friendly not friends Fats is named a number of times buit always as being similar in piano style and once as a tutor to Ellington. Tucker´s book follows Ellington upto his openingnight at the Cotton Club

Once in a while I wonder about Bozy White's Bunny Berigan Bio/Disco. Today I found this on http://www.jazz-book.com/news.html "White, Bozy: Bunny Berigan bio-discography. This project has made further progress. To be published in 2 volumes later this year. " I hope this comes true. It would be a fitting hommage to both Bunny and Bozy

Today it is 80 years ago that Bix Beiderbecke died. The New York Times features an article: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/05/a-cornetist-celebrated-80-years-after-his-death/?scp=1&sq=bix%20beiderbecke&st=cse
