EKE BBB

Brownie: Your package arrived yesterday evening. Wonderful catalogue! Thanks a lot! Agustín

This is.... Grant Green

And just to clarify my mind: Having up until now these Tatum releases: -Complete Pablo solo masterpieces -Complete Pablo group masterpieces -Complete Capitol recordings -20th Century piano genius -God is in the house -Virtuous (Jazzlab compilation with material from 1944-49) -and one cheap compilation with earlier sides Should my next purchases be: -early recordings: Classics (for a "complete approach") OR the Proper Box (for a "fairly comprehensive approach" for the 30s). Guess the 2CD Decca "Classic early solos 1934-37" is duplicated with both Classics and Proper releases -Standard Transcriptions -the Storyville Live Tatum series (by now up to Volume 3 out of 8) ???

Guess there´s some duplication with this Storyville "Tatum Live 1934-44" and the HighNote "God is in the house"???

Since this afternoon... God´s in my house too. Astonishing playing! And sound quality is not as bad as expected, when you´re used to hear early jazz recordings.

I´ve entered the site right now without any problem, brownie.

Thanks a lot for your interest, Brad! I´ve just received discographical information for that record.

Thanks, PDEE. I finally got your 14 mails with those data (accessing to my personal e-mail via remote server from my computer at work, cause my computer at home´s been seriously damaged). I have updated my first post. I´ve deleted the Classics I´ve received information.

I couln´t agree more: Proper Boxes have very good booklets, as well!

I bought it yesterday -Blue Note Rare Groove series! I will give it a couple of spins today... Here´s the cover:

Re: Hall of Fame boxes I only have the Lionel Hampton. Packaging is cheap, but more or less passable. As far as I remember (don´t have the CDs here) it includes some discographical information: personnel listing and date for every session. Nothing more (no reference to labels, name of groups/ensembles...). And it seems there´s no criteria in the selection: some sessions from the 30s and 40s.... and some from the late 70s

Thanks, Jim I´ll add some of these to my "next-purchases" list.... too many discs there, I´m afraid!

It´s back on business. No idea of what happened...

So soon! I´ve just found some CDs for 5,5 € at a local store and haven´t been able to resist it: -Lester Young: Le dernier message de LY -Stéphane Grappelli & Stuff Smith: Stuff and Steff -Chet Baker: Broken wing

Rollins time again! Could anybody choose some CDs from 1966 on? Looking at my collection, there are many pre-1966 recordings.... but just one after 1966 (from that year I have "Alfie" and "East Broadway went down"): it´s "Sonny Rollins +3" (Milestone, 1996).... and the guy could still blow!

Reviving this thread Ubu: regarding his nickname "Jelly Roll" I remember I read somewhere it was a typical New Orleans cake with a cylindrical shape... and, of course, it has double-sense with a sexual meaning! But I must check this story. I have the RCA/Bluebird "Centennial" box and it´s wonderful music. It´s a bible of that era, IMO. Those Red Peppers´ recordings must be up there in the top-five early jazz recordings. And the sound´s good for me (haven´t heard the JSP release). And for some Jelly Roll solo recordings, there´s a King Jazz release (2 volumes) called "The complete piano heritage 1923-29" with piano rolls... great music! But it may be hard to find... I´ve always been very interested in Jelly Roll as a capital figure in the development of jazz... (did he actually invented jazz??? ) ...and his was an interesting life indeed! I haven´t read his biography but it´s on my next-purchases books list. Maybe some of our more knowledgeable members could give us their opinion about the importance Jelly Roll had as a catalytic figure, as a composer/arranger, as a leader of various ensembles... and as a pianist too.

Pierre Michelot "Round about a bass" Songs: Cherokee Gavotte Akkilino Elephant green Sous les ponts de Paris Chet Bye bye blackbird Sweet feeling Klook´s shadow Collective personel (I don´t have the CD here to give you details on sessions): ts: George Grenu bs: Pierre Gossez, Armand Migiani as: Michel Portal tp: Fred Gérard tb: Charles Verstraete, Raymond Katarzynski, Benny Vasseur fl: Raymond Guiot b: Pierre Michelot d: Christian Garros p: Maurice Vander

I love this collection too, with those wonderful photographs! I have about 15 of them and have planned to buy another bunch as soon as possible! Jaspar, René Thomas, Blakey, Byas, Hines, Henri Renaud.... are some of my favorites!

Hope this is Mike Ricci restoring the site and the board.... and not those f*****g brasilian bastards again! Still down!

Looks like it´s down again! I haven´t been able to enter the site for the last 10 hours!

Thousands of thanks, brownie! I´ll e-mail you
