Everything on the Condon Mosaic has come out on Collectables twofers. Nothing from the Buck Clayton though, and I wonder if that may have to do with the plentiful and tricky edits that were on the original LPs? Mosaic released complete takes as they were recorded as far as posssible.
Re Eddie Condon
Could you point me in the right direction. I am aware of 3 two-fors. That takes care of 6 LPs.
But what about
1) DIXIELAND JAM ($50.00 being asked for used LP)
2) NEWPORT Jazz Festival 1956
3) CHICAGO my home town
4) JAZZ OMNIBUS ($24.00 being asked for used LP)
Are the above also on two-fors?

Seamen?
? Why do they call the camel the ship of the desert?
Answer: Because it's full of Egyptian semen! Oops! I mean Seamen!

Where do you get the information Universal Music Group distributes these in the US?
For example:
Bix And Tram (Rm) [bEST OF] [bOX SET]
Universal Music Group; ASIN: B00006BT4G
Away from Basie [bEST OF] [bOX SET]
Universal Music Group; ASIN: B0009HBEVI

Yes, I also bought the O'Day set plus the JJJ one.
Now! Yesterday there was a thread re. the JSP label, so I looked over their Web site and eventually I got to Amazon and saw this:
Start of quote:
"ILLEGAL RIP-OFF, June 8, 2005
Reviewer: Scott A. Wenzel
This box set is a rip-off of the Mosaic 7 disc set which can be found at www.mosaicrecords.com. JSP and other labels like Proper, take the hard work our engineers do (JRT Davies, Doug Pomeroy, Vince Caro) and without giving them a dime, burn their own CDs of Mosaic issues and this is one of them. The tune selections are the same as the Mosaic box which are the Vocalion, Brunswick and Parlophone sessions of Berigan. The Mosaic set is the size of a LP set with lavash pictures and massage discographical entries not given on the cheapo rip-off labels."
End of quote.
I find this very strange as JRT Davies's name is prominently displayed on JSP boxes, and those box sets are distributed in North America by Univeral Music Group. I thought there was a tie-in with Mosaic and Universal, but maybe not.
Anybody care to comment!
Based on the above review I bought the JSP set. I couldn't resist a bargain.

Are the meese gay?
I am not aware of any studies on gay mooses.
You would have to go into the bushes to find out.

I have picked up three Sagajazz discs since I posted last.
Milt Jackson, Early MJQ - I don't have it at hand. It has, if I remember correctly, one Prestige date, two DeeGee dates, the Blue Note date with Lou Donaldson (also on the Jackson RVG) and one date for another small label whose name escapes me. A very nice collection. Much of Jackson's playing is very bluesy. Kenny Clarke is on drums (I don't remember if he is on all the quartet sides, or not), so this is Jackson before Connie Kay. While I have not yet (YET stressed) explored anything later by the Modern Jazz Quartet, I love these early sides.
(There is a similar reissue of four of the same dates, and one other, on Definitive, by the way.)
Then I just picked up "Count Basie Septet & Octet - On Film & Live". This has the following tracks:
Hollywood, late August 1950: Clark Terry - t, Buddy DeFranco - cl, Wardell Gray - ts, Basie - p, Freddie Green - g, Jimmy Lewis - b, Gus Johnson - d, Billie Holiday - voc (-1)
GOD BLESS THE CHILD (-1)
NOW, BABY, OR NEVER (-1)
FELANGES
ONE O'CLOCK JUMP
Universal film shots, directed by Wil Cowan.
NYC, prob. October 1950: same personnel, Holiday out, Helen Humes - voc (-1)
ONE O' CLOCK JUMP
BASIE'S CONVERSATION (BASS CONVERSATION)
BASIE BOOGIE
IF I COULD BE WITH YOU (-1)
I CRIED FOR YOU (-1)
Snader Telescriptions (short films)
NYC, poss. December 1950: unidentified - t, Marshall Royal - cl, Gray, Basie, Green, Lewis, Johnson
3:15 A.M. BLUES
DONNA LEE
C JAM BLUES
ROBBINS' NEST
Live recording, unknown broadcast location
NYC, April 20, 1951: Terry, Royal, Gray, Basie, Green, Lewis, Johnson, poss. Symphony Sid - mc
ONE O' CLOCK JUMP
MOVE
BASIE BOOGIE
BLUEBEARD BLUES
ONE O' CLOCK JUMP
(Note: Bluebeard Blues is announced by the MC as Golden Bullet)
Stars on Parade, WNEW Broadcast
Birdland, NYC April 28, 1951: same personnel as April 21, add Buck Clayton - t (-1), omit Sid
JUMPIN' AT THE WOODSIDE
HOW HIGH THE MOON / ORNITHOLOGY
OH, LADY BE GOOD (-1)
BLUEBEARD BLUES (-1)
ONE O' CLOCK JUMP
WNEW Broadcast
This is a very good collection. Some of the tunes (from the live sessions) are quite long. How High The Moon Clock in at 8:42. Wardell Gray is BAAD! And DeFranco, Terry, Royal are not bad either.
It's quite intriguing to hear Basie doing tunes as Move, Ornithology, or Donna Lee.
Check it out!
In the liner notes, another Basie "CD featuring all the other studio recordings of the Count's small groups in 1950-1951" is announced.
So, does this disc above include all live / movie dates by Basie from 50/51?
The other CD I have picked up: Stan Getz "From Long Island to Stockholm". This collects various quartet dates for Prestige and Roost (all available in their complete forms on either some OJCCDs or the fabulous Getz Roost 3CD set released by Blue Note some years ago - one of my very favorite box-sets ever, by the way!). The reason why I bought this lies in the sessions following those quartet dates (none of these is complete on the CD, I think, and I'd not have bought it for that only, actually): There are all (?) eight sides Getz made in Sweden in March 1951:
Stockholm, March 23, 1951: Stan Getz and his Swedish All Stars:
Stan Getz - ts, Bengt Hallberg - p, Gunnar Johnson - b, Jack Noren - d.
ACK VÄRMELAND DU SKÖNA (DEAR OLD STOCKHOLM)
S' COOL BOYS
NIGHT AND DAY
I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU
PRELUDE TO A KISS
I'M GETTING SENTIMENTAL OVER YOU
Stockholm, March 24, 1951: Stan Getz and his Swedish All Stars:
Same personnel, add Lars Gullin - bari, Yngve Akerberg - b, replaces Johnson.
FLAMINGO
DON'T BE AFRAID.
I never saw these Swedish sides on a Getz CD (well, I have not looked for them either...).
Big
for the production of these Sagajazz releases! The team includes people involved also in the Jazz in Paris reissues. Alain Tercinet, for instance selected the tracks for the Getz CD. Remastering seems to be as good as it gets.Cover art is quite nice as well, notes are in French and English, and while they're usually rather short, they contain some rather relevant information.
By the way, both of these discs come from the probably rather recent new batch, numbers 51-60.
You can find the whole listing of the series on the website, sagajazz.com (it includes track listings and years of recording for each track, but no personnel information).

Today's suggestion:
JAZZ DIRECTORY by Dave Carey & Albert McCarthy.
I'm really heavy into Volume 3 (E-F-G), the book's getting a little ratty.
I read a little every night.
I am all the way up to: "Four Nuts And A Peanut".
That's Peanuts Holland.

Thanks for that program, SP. I don't recall seeing it before--is it from a concert?
I did not record the band doing Bill Bailey. Here's what I did record:
Ken Colyer's Jazz Men
Colyer, cornet; Chris Barber, trombone; Monty Sunshine, clarinet; Jim Bray, bass; Ron Bowden, drums. - Lorry's Guldaldersal, 7-9-13 Klub, Copenhagen. April 11, 1953.
- Tiger Rag (113)
This was a live recording made when we introduced the band to Storyville Club's members. Issuing it was an afterthought. I had it on a separate reel and had forgotten about it until I came across it--by that time, I had moved to Iceland.
Monty Sunshine Trio
Monty Sunshine, clarinet; Lonnie Donegan, banjo; Chris Barber, bass; - Home of Grosserer Henriksen, Copenhagen (Gentofte, I think) - April 12, 1953.
- St. Phillips St. Breakdown (114)
Wildcat Blues (115)
Ken Colyer's Jazz Men
Colyer, cornet and vocal*; Chris Barber, trombone; Monty Sunshine, clarinet; Lonnie Donegan, banjo. Jim Bray, tuba and bass; Ron Bowden, drums. - Gentofte Hotel, Copenhagen. April 19, 1953.
- I Can't Escape (116a)
Isle of Capri (116)
Shine (117)
Sheik of Araby (118)
A Closer Walk with Thee (119)
Wabash Blues (120)
Bucket Got a Hole in It* (121)
If I Ever Cease To Love (122)
Bluebells Goodbye (123)
We Sure Do Need Him Now (124)
Gentofte Blues (125)
Colyer does not play on Gentofte Blues/
We did this in the hotel's ballroom. The band played from a small elevated bandstand and I placed the microphone quite some distance in front of them. So that Ken would be able to reach the height of the microphone, we placed several chairs from the bandstand to it. Ken very carefully negotiated those chairs to tell us about his damaged bucket.
THE PROGRAM IS FROM CONCERT I AALBORGHALLEN, 16 APRIL 1953.
I was just kidding about Wild Cat Blues and Bill Bailey. I found the reference browsing thru Grunnet Jepsen's old Jazz Records 1942-1962.

I hope that this means that Storyville will carry on even though its founder has died.
At Storyville it's business as usual--at least as close to usual as it could be without Karl Knudsen. Fortunately, Mona Tanager, Karl's right-hand woman of many years, is running things. She knows the company inside out and I feel comforted by the fact that she is hanging in there (she had talked of retiring a few years back).
Eventually, of course, the company will be sold. I fear the worst when that happens and Karl's spirit evaporates.
As some of you know, my association with Storyville goes back over fifty years, to the time I used my early B&O tape recorder to make the label's first recordings (Ken Colyer's band). For that reason, and because of the close friendship I maintained with Karl through all those years, I almost feel as if I were losing a part of my life--but not yet. Let's hope Storyville is taken over by someone who cares, not a corporation.
Here's a little memento from a few days after you recorded "Wild Cat Blues" in the toilet with Monty Sunshine. Was "Bill Bailey" rejected because of toilette noise?

I solved it myself. The files are hidden ????
BUT
Musicmatch ripped it ok, no problem.
Over and out!

I was finally able to get some of the old MGM titles with Woody Herman. Or so I thought. It's Woody Herman, Standard Times.
I play most of my CDs on my computer. I have an expensive 5.1 speaker system hooked up, and that sound is much better than my other book shelf one. Now, the CD will not play. It's a multimedia Ocium with Macrovision file. I also covert to MP3 for my Creative Jukebox, but of course am unable to do this with this stupid CD.
CAN SOMEBODY GIVE ME A HINT WHAT TO DO?
I didn't know the Ocium label was from Spain. Imagine copiers putting copy protection on their CDs.

I met Karl Emil in Aalborg in early 1950's. His concert was Henrik Johansen's Jazz Band. Kind of harsh New Orleans in those days. I recorded some of the music on a B&O tape machine, the one with the 3 speed turntable on top. Quite a machine at the time. The recording is so so, but not balanced properly. It was forgotten until recenly when I dug out some old 7" tape reels.
Thanks for your ealier Storm P quote about the saxophone. Maybe you have some more? Write them in English for everybody to enjoy.

I just saw Cayman's offer on the Basie Set: $112.64 new.
But, get this! The current Roy Eldridge set: $274.36 new ????
Who is this Cayman, is it a store or what ?

I have searched for this LP for a long time.
Has anybody ever heard about it?
Argo LP 4006
Morris Grants Presents Junk.
Personnel:
Miles Morris, Morris Ferguson, Bet Taker, trumpets
Mon Cherie, pocket trumpet
Can-E-Ball Naturally, Sol Desman, alto saxophones
Ornette Morris, plastic alto saxophone
Merry Julligan, baritone
Morris Brewbeck, Theloneliest Monk, Morris Garner
alternating pianos
Gene Blooper, drums
It was recorded at Boston's Grove Hall Philharmonic early 1961.
Some of the tunes: Le Tup, Jumping with Symphony Sid,
Making Whoopee, Creative Love, 'Round Lunchtime.
According to Morris Grant, at the time, the idea was to create CHAOS.
The musicians were told to like, just blow. Then, when all the engrems
had ben expelled from the cortex of the horns, the CHAOTIC principle
had been achieved.

These are the CDs that cover the late 40's and early 50's Benny Goodman:
1) Undercurrent Blues on Capitol
2) Complete trios on Capitol
3) "Complete small groups sessions" vol 1 & 2 on Blue Moon
available either as singles or double album
4) "New sextet sessions" on Ocium. That's the group with Teddy Wilson and
Terry Gipps (misspelt on purpose)
You will then have the same and more than the Mosaic set except alternates and perhaps unissues.

Just bought Nat King Cole 10 CD box, cost $18.00.
10 CD's with 24 tracks on each. I think it's a rip off the Mosaic set.
I can't find the Mosaic track listing anywhere. I would like to cross-reference.
Anybody kind enough to post them (I know it's a few pages or more)
Thank you.
The box is the German "Documents".

I am just looking at a l0" LP - "Albert Nicholas" in Poland (live concert)
recorded 1957 or 58 I think.
MUZA Polska Nagrania L 0161 sealed, never opened.
I understand this is a collectors item in Poland. This is from the communist era.
Sopot Jazz Festival 1957. Not much of a collectors item I'd think; I had two copies and gave one away... Strange that you mention its being sealed, I can hardly imagine these were ever sealed originally. Is it in one of those flimsy generic covers?
No, it's in color, abstract design by Roslaw Szaybo.
I still think it's a collectors item (in Poland).
dunno who designed it, but mine looks like the attached pic. The other one had a different cover I remember, but similar. Also without any specific text and a hole in the back so you can read the label. Were there more than one release with different looks maybe?
