cash, lol.

I heard a full length "On Green Dolphin Street" on artistdirect.com, I liked it. I will be picking this album up later though, I ordered "Metheny/Mehldau Quartet" instead, and of course the JOS TOCJ's.

wow, thanks Kyo! that's a lot of stuff, wouldn't that make it closer to 3 or 4 CD's if there was a "complete" set? "Mitch's Movement"? funny title. Its interesting because quite a few of the rejected takes/unissued were attempted and released on studio albums later. Also makes me wonder how complete the Groovin at Smalls RVG is, which is 13 tracks total. I also wonder if the version of "Tunisia" done at the Baby Grand, is the same arrangement as the Jan 1960 trio version on "Crazy Baby!"

right on Soul Stream! Kyo, can you show me where you see all these unissued takes from the Baby Grand? I searched jazzdiscog.org and found these, all of which are the issued titles: Jimmy Smith (org) Thornel Schwartz (g) Donald Bailey (d) Mitch Thomas (ann) "Club Baby Grand", Wilmington, DE, afternoon 2nd set, August 4, 1956 Introduction By Mitch Thomas same personnel "Club Baby Grand", Wilmington, DE, night 1st set, August 4, 1956 tk.12 Where Or When same personnel "Club Baby Grand", Wilmington, DE, night 2nd set, August 4, 1956 tk.20 The Preacher (The New Preacher) same personnel "Club Baby Grand", Wilmington, DE, night 3rd set, August 4, 1956 tk.23 Rosetta tk.25 Sweet Georgia Brown ** also issued on Blue Note BST 81528 (pseudo stereo).

Kyo, that would be an excellent RVG. However I bought TOCJ's of "At the Club Baby Grand" vols 1&2, on half.com, over the weekend, couldn't wait any longer!!!! I think the rejected July 3rd tracks are additional ones where Jimmy plays piano, which I remember hearing on this board sometime. The entire "Cherokee" session was going to be on piano but JOS stuck to the organ instead for the released tracks

I really wanna check out her albums, the energy she has is really amazing I think.

I hope its a good session, sessions like "Bucket" with that trio dissapointed me. Although my favorite album with this group is "Crazy! Baby"

really, more revelatory than some of JOS' 1957-8 sides? I think the sides like "Groovin at Smalls" feature some of his most stunning playing on records.

right. The power of positive thinking has cured people from disease before.

I have the Blakey/JM's "Midnight Session" from this series.

yeah! Stanley isn't as dismissive of free as I thought

Kyo, I believe both are JRVG's.

looking forward to the JOS

Tokyo Live would be a great Connoiseur. I'd like to retire my CDR's of that album with a real copy!

Masabumi Kikuchi solo disc? Manfred, get he and Jarrett in the same room. what a moan fest that would be!

oh, that weird European twofer? my "Keep on Comin" is on Wounded Bird. Jimmy's piano playing there is more advanced than what most would think of his organ playing or aren't knowledgeable

back to the music. Its a nice session, "Cha Cha J" is definitely a JOS oddity. the piano solo reminds me of a nervous chihuahua or something

I won it on ebay for $14. The seller says the front cover of the CD is in bad shape, and the CD label has an imprint from the insert but that the disc plays fine. I just want the session! Should be here soon. I can just use a HQ scan of the front cover anyway and put that in if the cover is too dogged up.

hmm, is this JOS session mostly ballads, mellow standards? looks like it. I am glad they are putting it out though

JOS: Straight Life? is this the unissued June, 1961 session? if so I am ALL over that!

I love the 2nd alternate of "Africa". Definitely one of my fav. Coltrane sessions.

I'm listening to PM radio right now waiting to hear a preview of "The Sound of Water" which I heard is Pikasso and piano. I just wonder if the "Complete Sessions" package has anything extra because you know me Joe, I will go get MM Quartet on release date. just heard it........ its great! Its such a Pat tune with those changes you know but they sound so damn good!

wasn't that sweet when Dwight Howard stuck the sticker on the backboard and then dunked? Green doing the Dee Brown over Nate Robinson was too much though!

wow, cool information.

Keep on Comin is a good recording, worth having for the solo piano feature as a historical curiosity and because its the only JOS record with Johnny Griffin.
