I'd love to see the Richie Kamuca recordings on Concord make it onto CD. Is this too much to ask?

I can't comment on the putumayo label but for compilations I can really recommend the ones compiled by Charlie Gillett, who used to have a weekly 'world music' programme on the BBC World Service until he had to retire recently due to ill health. He issues a 2xCD compilation of the best tunes from his programme each year with the catchy title 'World 2001 2002 etc.' They have been released on a variety of labels - 'Virgin', 'Wrasse', 'Narada World' etc and cover music from virtually every country in the world. They are absolutely terrific and I would recommend that you try one and if you like it, buy all the others. They started to be issued in 2001 so there are six to choose from. If your interested here's this years compilation on Amazon: Amazon.com

I don't think it was ever a legit release. The French CBS twofer was a legitimate release. The production of the album was supervised by Henri Renaud. DMG has a copy of the French CBS release and/or a CD-R copy for sale: DMG

Many thanks, Mark.

I've been buying a lot of 70's music recently, including: Charles Tolliver - Impact (Enja-remastered). A terrific live set recorded in Germany in 1972. Ted Curson with the George Arvanitas Trio - Pop Wine (Futura). Recorded in Paris in 1971 & MUCH better than I'd hoped for. I'm still awaiting delivery of the 'live' Dizzy Reece CD on Futura - 'From In to Out'. I expect this to be another good 'un! Also been buying a lot of Henry Threadgill including a great session from 1982 - 'When was that?' Finally, I got the new 'Atomic' CD in the post today, 'Happy New Ears'. Another great recording.

What's any of this to do whether he's a good singer or not? I don't have any problems with someone not liking him but really .............. Anyway my question was 'Does anyone know whether he has a new record deal?'

Perhaps he gets confused as to where the decimal point should be!

What does this mean???????????????????????

Does anyone know what Kurt Elling is doing nowadays? All his Blue Note recordings are terrific, especially 'Live in Chicago' but he doesn't seem to have released anything since 'Man in the air' in 2003. I presume his contract with Blue Note has been terminated but why hasn't any other label taken up this unique talent?

I'm with the other 33% who don't want to live in either France or Britain. We'll manage it one day, maybe. MG Where then.......Mars?

and the remaining 4/5ths are ..............what?

Thanks for the heads up. It looks a very cool session!

No, it can't! According to AMG the track is actually 9:06.

Sorry! I'd just returned from vacation & posted a copy of Hiroshi's e-mail without checking all the forums. I always post mine under 'new releases'. Mea culpa! However my query still stands - does anyone have any information on the two Toshiko Akiyoshi releases.

Quartet Live in Japan' & 'Many sides of Toshiko'?

Yes, I have the two Ted Daniel CDs. Both became available about three months ago and I believe Ted Daniels himself was responsible for getting them released. 'In the beginning' was recorded at Studio WE, NYC on April 12 & May 21, 1975. It is issued on the 'Altura Music' label. Since it has a number of ALT1 I assume that it is the first and only release. The two tracks from the April session are 'Hassan' & 'Illusions' and feature: Oliver Lake (alto sax) Arthur Blythe (alto sax) David Murray (tenor sax) Charles Tyler (baritone sax) Hassan Dawkins (soprano sax) Kappo Umezu (alto sax, bass clarinet) Richard Dunbar (french horn) Melvin Smith (guitar) Ted Daniel (trumpet) Tatsuya Nakamura (percussion) The two tracks from the May session are 'Folley' & 'Greeting' and feature: Danny Carter (tenor sax) Charles Tyler (baritone sax) Charles Stephens (trombone) Hassan Dawkins (soprano sax) Kappo Umezu (alto sax, bass clarinet) Richard Dunbar (french horn) Melvin Smith (guitar) Ahmed Abdullah (trumpet) Ted Daniel (trumpet) Richard Pierce (bass) Steve Reid (trap drums) Tatsuya Nakamura (percussion) It's a typical 1970's 'free' recording - if there is such a thing. You know, some ensemble work and plenty of riffs, solos and group improvisation. I would say that if you know the players concerned then you will know what to expect and won't be disappointed. I like it! The second recording has a title of 'Ted Daniel' on the front and 'Ted Daniel Sextet' on the back of the cover - so take your choice. It's on the Ujamaa Records label and look 'home-made'. It was recorded on October 15, 1979 at St Pauls's Chapel, Columbia University and has five tracks - 'Congratulations', Pagan Spain', 'O.C.' , 'The Kicker' & 'Otis' Song'. It features: Ted Daniel (trumpet, flugelhorn, french hunting horn & Moroccan bugle) Otis Harris (alto sax) Hakin Jami & Richard Pierce (basses) Kenneth Hughes & Warren Benbow (percussion) Again, it's a free blowing session and reminds me very much of some of the 1960's ESP recordings like The Noah Howard Quartet etc. Again, it is well worth buying if you like that kind of music. I seem to remember that that neither of the titles were widely available. Cadillac Records in the UK were advertising them both but I got mine from Downtown Music Gallery in NYC.

I find that mostly anything by Paul Bley is worth listening to. No, that's not absolutely true. I don't like 'Barrage'.

You're right Lol. According to the 'HMV Japan' website HMV Japan the 'international' box set is due out on 19 September with the Japanese box set on 18 October. Both sets are three CDs and a DVD. I'm not an expert on Weather Report so I'm not sure whether its a 'best of' or new/unreleased tracks - or both?

C'mon then, tell us all about it! Also, can anyone give any info on the two Jim Hall CDs ie who is on them and are they any good?

Great to hear that so many of you are buying the Elvin Jones set before it disappears. I managed to obtain a copy on ebay a few years ago but without a box or booklet so I've been trying to get Mosaic to sell me them since then. However, I keep being told that they won't sell until the set has gone out of print, so the quicker that happens the quicker I'll get my box and booklet. BTW I agree with tranemonk, this is terrific set with no weak CDs. I was very surprised with the quality of all the sessions and it's a great mystery that hardly any of the CDs have been released individually.

The CDs are marked as being re-released by Henry Threadgill, so I think we can assume they are legit. BTW what label were 'Air Raid' & 'Air Song' released on?
