felser

Isn't the Ella Fitzgerald Decca set part of this series?

anything new for this thread?

Is this the Joni Mitchel boxset that you say has been remastered, felser? I have a copy of this set - produced by Rhino & 2012 release (10 discs) the discs come in mini LP sleeves & gatefold where the original LPs had this -> better quality than the OAS series sleeves though the print is still minuscule Didn't come with a booklet & no details re remastering but it's not part of the OAS series Don't have earlier JM CDs (only vinyl) so can't make a comparison but generally I'm very happy with the SQ Thanks, Romualdo, it's just that I have all the albums in the set already, bought when they were first re-issued on CD many years ago and wondered whether the copies in this boxset would sound any better. I get the impression from the little I've managed to find elsewhere that they probably don't. The Mitchell CD's were remastered at some point following their initial CD releases, there was a second round of CD releases that had the HD remasters. I suspect that the box may be that second round of remasters, but they sound great to me, better than the original CD's. The Neil Young CD's were not doubt the remasters from that massive CD/DVD/Blue-ray project he did, and also sound great. The mastering on this series of boxes is head and shoulders over the OAS series, jumps out at you night and day.

Couple of notes on this. 1 - It does contain everything from Hotcakes and Outtakes, has a 13th disc to cover the stray cuts. 2 - $49.99 shipped from popmarket.com today, ordered mine. That's $3.85 a disc, too good for me to pass up.

If it was me, I'd go for this one of "At This Point In Time" at $6.99. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000006DGI/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

I also had tags show up on mine in October. To me, the great thing about the BFT's isn't the guessing anyways, it's the chance to share some possibly little-known things we like with one another. I have benefitted much more from discovering/re-discovering good cuts and artists than from any "aha" factors in the reveals.

Fourthed through several experiences with David!

A word on Jazzmessengers - my experiences with them have been consistently great.

PM sent on Joe McPhee: Nation Time: The Complete Recordings (1969-70) (like new, Corbett v. Dempsey) $40

Yep. 'Journey To Enligntenment' and 'Let This Melody Ring On' have always been the gems for me. 'Black Love' is less than the sum of it's parts, has always sounded underrehearsed to my ears, though I do like it. Norman Connors' version of "Mother of the Future" on the otherwise tepid 'Slewfoot' shreds Garnett's version (Garnett does play on the Connors version). The last two 70's Muse albums by Garnett don't really cut it at all compared to the first three. His comeback stuff in the 90's on Muse and High Note is very strong, but in a different style, lacking the uniqueness of the 70's recordings. Time and place.

DL pls!

I own a few boxes from this series and several of the OAS sets, and the sound quality difference is night and day. OAS is clearly just whatever was already laying around, and this series has wonderful remastering, at least on the boxes I have (Joni Mitchell and early Neil Young).

I like those WB sets, have the ones they did for Joni Mitchell and for the first four Neil Young albums. Nice sound great prices nice packaging (though no notes).

Also my first thought.

"Black Messiah" and those Riversides are apples and oranges. Glad for both, but they're totally different things.

glad to hear this!

I really liked his work,but have never heard this session, so look forward to it.

Fascinating. I love Mary Lou Williams, and that makes perfect sense since she was so able to bridge musical generations (and also explains what that cut would be my favorite). Bernie Senensky indeed. If the disc were less expensive, I'd go buy it right now. I second the recommendation for "The Producers", a brilliant movie.

Grossman was 19 years old in 1970. He did OK under the circumstances. I've never really been a fan of those Fillmore shows or the stuff that became Live-Evil, much prefer the studio stuff from that era. I also like Fortune best in the post-Shorter bands. But almost always found the bands to be less than the sum of their parts in that time. Granted, the parts were awesome, so it would have been hard to meet expectations. I really like the Grossman/Liebman front line on the Elvin Jones Lighthouse set (everybody on tenor sounded great with Jones in those years - Liebman, Grossman, Foster, Farrell, Coleman, all of them).

Hoping for those Harold Land titles with Bobby Hutcherson.
