I've been super excited about finding a CD before.
Me too.....I walked into a record shop (remember them?) in Manchester many years ago and found these....
Boy, was I excited.....

Alors! with John Surman and the Trio - reissued on CD a few years back is definitely worth hearing (as mentioned by mjazzg above)

Yes, that one is indeed very good....

To those who've purchased a copy — does it come in a jewel case, or is it a digipack? I'm not a fan of digipacks, but I'll be getting it regardless. Too bad it's not on International Phonograph, but at least it's out.
It comes in a jewel case, the sound is excellent as is the artwork. IMO it's a "must-have".

Just finished this one myself last week. Very easy to read, as was the previous volume about the war in North Africa. I'm now awaiting delivery of the third and final volume about the invasion and liberation of Europe. He's an excellent writer....

Unfortunately death got in the way for me. I've a funeral to attend otherwise I'd be there.

......... "a country singer with long blond hair down to her ass."
... did it come with photos?

I wonder why this one has never been reissued on CD?
..... I really like it.
I believe it came out on CD in the 1990s - have definitely listened to a CD copy of it before. Really good one.
I've never seen a cd copy of that. . . I'd buy it in a heartbeat, a great ECM record. I've a cdr of my lp somewhere. . . .
saw CD release in Japan in the early 90`s........
Well, if that's the case perhaps it will get reissued again........

Hello,
Has Verse/Solid re-issued any more in this series?
thanks in advance
baker
To answer your question: no more Bethlehems since March 2014.
Do you know if there any still awaiting a CD re-issue, Lon?

I'm reminded of when the Rendell-Carr reissues appeared in the noughties. Brian Morton wrote a piece in Jazz Journal International saying he was underwhelmed. The irrate letters to the editor that followed...
I know how he feels. I tried so hard to like "Shades of Blue" and "Dusk Fire" as much as their reputations suggested. Nice enough but I couldn't hear anything desperately original (cloth ears?)
Dare I say the same about "Hum Dono" (ducks for cover) which again didn't really live up to its build up. Whereas I thought both Harriot's "Free Form" and "Abstract" surpassed their reputations on reissue
I rather like 'Hum Dono'. Agree on the two Harriotts - they did live up to the promise.
It wasn't JJI...can't recall the name of that rather studious Jazz mag Richard Cook used to edit.
Was it Wire?

Many thanks for that, Mori. I've ordered a used copy for not very much!

I've started buying quite a bit of Japanese jazz recently and I wondered whether anyone knows of an authoritative book on the subject...in English, of course!

Lucky you...looks like a good evening.
I've got my tickets for the Gateshead Jazz Festival.......Joshua Redman is nearly sold out but plenty of tickets left for The Cookers. I'll be in touch a bit nearer the date to arrange a meet....

(don friedman - hope for tomorrow)
Didn't think a lot of this track when I listened to it... perhaps the rest of the album is better.

I've liked the sound on their recent jazz reissues. Granted, they don't sound quite as good as those from IP, but still very good.
... I agree

My favorite entry in the series is not in this box that I can tell, and is possibly more technically gospel than blues: "The Complete Blind Willie Johnson."
These 30 sides really get to me. I can recommend them. . .though this one 2 cd release is about half the cost of this set of 20.
The Blind Willie Johnson recordings are in a class of their own as far as I'm concerned..they really hit the spot for me.
I bought them originally as a Folkways LP way back when and have since bought both the Blues 'n' Roots double CD mentioned above and also the collection that came out on JSP a few years ago. It's magnificent music and should be in any serious blues collection.
BTW the 'Blues 'n' Roots' doubler is going used for less than £10 + shipping at Amazon... pretty good value I'd say. The JSP collection "BWJ & The Guitar Evangelists" seems to be OOP and going for a silly price.
Oh, and I don't have any problem with the sound on any of the above sets.

Not even composer credits?
Sorry, yes, I meant it includes composer and publisher credits, but neither dates of recording, nor personnel.
F
I suppose that's something. Still pretty sloppy though.
Strange, since all that information was on the original releases.....
