UCCV 9326(DSD Mastering)(2 CD) Konitz,Lee(as) & Bill Evans(p)/Live at the Half Note* 3900
I noticed this one also. How do I order this (sorry I'm so out of the loop on this
)?Why not e-mail Hiroshi Tanno: hiroshi@earlyrecords.com - he takes PayPal and his shipping rates are quite reasonable.
And you get the cds quicker than you would ever think possible!

I always go for the USPS option as, in my experience, I always end up paying duty if anything is shipped DHL. Very rarely do so if shipped USPS.
It is also much more convenient to pick the parcel up from your local Post Office rather than DHL depot. And I don't think that the Royal Mail fees are more than the DHL ones.

Diggin' the Cheltenham Fest this weekend:
Yesterday - Gwilym Simcock Big Band, Claudia Quartet with John Hollenbeck and Mat Moran, Ben Allison Quartet with Ron Horton and the Bob Brookmeyer Quartet.
Today it's the Ingrid Laubrock Group, Bennie Maupin Quartet (
), Charles Lloyd Quartet and the Hans Koller Octet with Kenny Wheeler and Bob Brookmeyer.I saw Bennie Maupin and Charles Lloyd last night at the Barbican and they were both fantastic. I wasn't really in the mood to go to be honest but Bennie Maupin very quickly won me over! He seemed like a really humble guy. The shop really missed a trick by not having any of his cds available. There was a big rush for Charles Lloyd cds after he played though.
I could watch and listen to Eric Harland all day. And it is the second time I've seen Jason Moran (the first was with Dave Holland) and was blown away again. Will definitely be searching out his own albums in the near future.
You are going to really enjoy yourself

I'm sad to hear this of course, but the news makes me happy that late in life he was able to enjoy the recognition that his life's work deserved.
I had the same thought.
Very sad news. I was fortunate enough to meet him very briefly before his concert in Paris last year. We ere both eating at the same restaurant and I was able to tell him how much I loved his music. He'll be hugely missed.

John, I don't think that is true, their shipping page mentions checking to see a dropdown list of countries. . . .
It was true the last time I checked the list - no EU countries are on there.
However Dusty Groove and the Soul Music Store do ship to the EU.

Cecil Taylor is playing with Anthony Braxton at the Royal Festival Hall In London in July. Ornette Coleman is playing the following night.
"Piano genius Cecil Taylor, alongside Ornette Coleman, is acknowledged as one of the major innovators of the 'Free Jazz' movement of the late 1950s. After nearly 50 years, this pianist, composer and poet remains one of the most controversial figures in jazz - continuing, in his 77th year, to compose, write and tour. At a time in his career when most artists of his stature could sustain themselves with a victory lap of regurgitating the past or to slip into silent retirement, Taylor continues to push new boundaries with his art. For this concert, Cecil Taylor will be reunited with percussionist Tony Oxley on drums, William Parker on bass, and will play, for the very first time, with master saxophonist Anthony Braxton."
Tickets available here.
Although this is a first I'd be very surprised if this sold out. I went to see them in a double bill at the Queen Elizabeth Hall a couple of years ago and I don't think that it was anywhere close to sold out. It is smaller I believe than the RFH as well. Hope I'm wrong though.
I've booked tickets for both concerts just in case!

Time Out London said that he'll be playing two sets each night - one of "grits-and-gravy '60s hard bop, one of '70s style electric funk".
-
I had some confusion with my order (they sent me out the wrong cd) but it was easily rectified. Their customer service seems very good - you actually feel like you are dealing with a human being, which isn't always the case.

pisses me off that Volume 7 has no "index". i mean WTF! it's a freekin' sourcebook. lazy sods ...
i stayed away from the 7th edition due to the absent index. to be fair, it wasn't the authors' doing. from what i remember, the publisher put restraints on the length of the book, limits that would have been exceeded had the index been included (the 6th edition's index was 127 pages long!).
even with the errors, imo it's still the best book of its kind.
I'd agree. I have always really enjoyed reading (or browsing) the Penguin Guide. Obviously I don't always agree with their judgements but I don't know that I'd always agree with my own judgements over time. Whay I've always quite liked is the fact that they are prepared to change their minds (or at least the balance between the two writers) from edition to edition.
I've always been a bit bemused by the refusal to review Mosaic sets, especially given that they often have sets that are OOP reviewed for a number of editions. For example I'd be interested to see if the Roland Kirk or Dexter Gordon Blue Note sets are still listed.
Having said that nothing in life is ever perfect and I'm looking forward to getting the new edition.

Half.com is not an option since my credit card is not issued on the US.
ps: being a silly collector, the K2s i got from yourmusic didn't come with the cardboard slipcases so if any member does not bother to not have them and is willing to sell i'd like to have the following slipcases:
Marco
Can I ask howyou manage to get cds from yourmusic if your credit card was not issued in the US? I was under the impression that yourmusic was for US residents only.
Thanks
Denis

I don't have it, but yes, it's on iTunes.com.
Thanks Hank.
Felser has kindly offered to download it for me
(although if anyone does spot an original copy feel free to let me know!). -
Donald Byrd is playing the Jazz Cafe in London on 2-4 January 2007. No idea exactly what style of music he will be playing but have just booked for the 4th!
-
I know the chances aren't fantastic but I don't suppose anyone has a copy of this that they would be prepared to part with?
Alternatively I know that Hip-o-select do make stuff available on itunes. They aren't on itunes.co.uk (presumably for the same reasons that they won't ship to the UK). Does anyone know if it is on itunes.com?

Wow, they're all OOP? I got Turn Out from French Amazon two years ago or so at a pretty nice prize... can't remember, but must have been around 40€.
For the rusting along Verve I payed a lot, though (Barnes & Noble was where I got it from, about two years ago, too).
Both last Fantasy boxes have been available from 2001 half a year ago, no idea if they're still there...
Anyone knows about the status of "Secret Sessions"? That's the one Evans box I still miss... French & German Amazon list it for 90 something euros - pretty steep for 8 CDs. Also German Amazon has 4-6 weeks or something that makes me think it could be on the endangered list, too (French has 6-12 days).
Flurin, only "Turn Out the Stars" and the Verve box appear to be OOP. "Last Waltz", "Consecration", and "Secret Sessions" are still in print. I was going to tell you about the sale price on the Concord site (although I don't think they ship overseas), but Matthew beat me to it.
I think it is also reasonably safe to say that the Riverside box is going as well. Maybe the Fantasy too? I wouldn't be too confident about the others being reprinted but maybe I'm just a pessimist.
-
Turn Out The Stars is OOP. Not even listed on the WB jazz site. Collectors Choice has copies of it on sale; that's where I bought my copy two weeks ago. The box sets Complete Verve Recordings, Complete Fantasy, Last Waltz, Consecration, Consecration part II are also OOP. I'd say get these by the end of the year to avoid a major cash drain, if you can.
Wish you'd not told me about Collectors choice! I suppose of there is one place I don't mind overpaying it is with True Blue/Mosaic.
For what it is worth True Blue also have the Complete Riverside in the last chance category.
-
Does anyone know if the Turn Out The Stars cd set is actually still in print? It has been on my list for a while and this thread prompted me to check its availability again. There didn't seem to be any on ebay (!), cduniverse was back-ordered and amazon seemed to only have a couple of marketplace copies. True Blue had it but when I emailed to check they said they only had one in stock (and if that was true they don't have any now
)It may be just a temporary shortage but it might be worth bearing in mind if you come across a copy.

Dat Dere is right certainly in saying that Drum'n'Bass is considered old hat but I think that it was only really considered in fashion for a very short period of time. By the time Roni Size released his second album it was yesterday's news!
I have New Forms - it won the Mercury Music prize here when it came out and was intrigued. Have to say though that it didn't get too many spins in the end. I'm more a Tricky & Massive Attack man myself (I think Roni Size is from Bristol too). I may still have it somewhere (although I may have given it to our local charity shop!).

All quibbles & kinks aside, a big thank you for bringing Sonny into the cyber age. This may well be the homestretch, if you know what I mean, and it's encouraging to see that he's got somebody around him who both cares and knows. Doesn't always happen that way, now or then...
Amen to that. It is fantastic that he is releasing new music - regardless of the format!
Thanks Bret.

It's amazing to me that they've had this sale for going on two months now and there are still large numbers of things that haven't sold out. What are they going to do if all this stuff is still sitting in the warehouse in October, discount it to $.99 per CD?
If I were them, and stuck with CDs I wanted out the door, I would not lower the price below $2.99, but instead I would lower the number of discs needed to be purchased in order to obtain that price.
Or they could just sell overseas. -_-
(I'm sure there are some licensing restrictions that are preventing them from doing so but with them and Hip-o-select it can get a bit irritating. Thank goodness for Dusty Groove and the people on this board!)
-
OTOH, the entire album, plus one bonus cut, is being offered for $10.00 as a download.
http://www.sonnyrollins.com/music.php
But if you bought the album at one of his concerts in Europe is it possible to just purchase the bonus? I have to say it really annoys me when they do stuff like this. A bit like releasing a special edition dvd a few months after mugs like me have bought the original.

Just listened to Volume 2 for the first time today and really enjoyed it. I have the first volume but couldn't seem to get past the poor sound quality. Wasn't a problem on volume 2
. Will have to give Volume 1 another go tomorrow. -
I have it on cd so have also never thought about it in terms of sides but I think that Lucky is easily the best thing that they have done so that swings my vote. Side 2 it is!
-
I would like to know precisely which collectors this guy thinks would be interested in this.
Obviously the huge Andrew Hill/Queensryche audience!
Ebay craziness
in Mosaic and other box sets...

As with any of these things though you can sometimes pick one up cheaper if you get lucky. I managed to get mine for less than $300 including shipping in February. I really only went for it on the basis that it wouldn't cost me that much less to buy the individual cds (assuming you can pick up the FMP CD 0, which I have seen a couple of times since on ebay).
Still haven't had the chance to absorb it properly (or in fact at all really) - feels like it'll be a lifetime of listening.
