Can somebody remind me what the content is on the screwed-up Mosaic "Moncur" disc, they they sent out replacements for??

How is that Ronnie Boykins disc? I've always been curious about that one... Oddly enough, there are two (different) AMG reviews... Review #1: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=Arif4zfi3eh7k Review #2: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&u...l=Apj57gjyr86iw

The great thing about Ornette, is that you can type just "Ornette" into Allmusic (and hit search), and it'll take you directly to his entry. Doesn't even give you a big list of names to choose from that all match somewhat. Ornette really is an original!!!

Another idea that would likely spark lots of deep discussion... I just realized tonight that I haven't listened to Ornette's "Free Jazz" (along with "First Take") in ages and ages, probably over two years, maybe even closer to 4 Might make for an interesting "Album of the Week", perhaps???

Sun Ra

I gave "Etcetera" a spin today, and I listened to "All Seeing Eye" last week at least three times. I gave the nod to "Etcetera", but it was a very close race. You're right Chuck, about Joe Chambers being a monster on the more 'creative' dates. (In fact, I was gonna let that influence my vote, until I remembered that Joe was on both "Etc." and "ASE"!!) I think Joe's almost my favorite Blue Note "House Drummer" from the 60's, with Elvin a close second.

Thanks Chuck, for all that info. As usual, you're a saint... (Except, of course, when you're not ) Hey, which Hill date did you vote for?? (I'm glad to see you're participating in these polls, and a little of your reasoning behind each vote.) Thanks!!

Before yesterday, it had probably been a full year since I heard "Compulsion" - or really any of those later Hill albums from the Mosaic (meaning all the the ones after "PoD".) Yesterday, "Compulsion" smacked me upside the head really damn good!!!! As much as I'd like to have "DwD" on CD, I have to say that I don't find much fault with Andrew wanting "Compulsion" back in the marketplace, since the Mosaic is out of print. Perty please, would someone with the Complete BN Discography handy, remind us all what are all the as-yet unreleased Andrew Hill sessions, who's on them, and when they were recorded?? (My BN-Disco is buried in with a dozens of boxes of books I still haven't unpacked yet.) THANKS!!! With the semi-big-band date from '69 coming out soon (hopefully in October), I'm wondering what's left?? There's the the trio date called "Chain" or "Chained" from about 1968(?). But other than that, there can't be very many others. (Especially since those extra dates came out on "Grass Roots" and "Lift Every Voice".)

I'm surprised that "Of Love and Peace" hasn't gotten a vote or two. It's a very close second for me, behind "Mother Ship" (which is my favorite). Then I rank "Contrasts" a close third. "Heaven on Earth" is OK, nothing really wrong with it - but it doesn't get me all fired up like the other three.

You also left out "Into somethin'" Nice idea for a poll! Oops, "Somethin' Else" is a Sun Ra album, I meant "Into Somethin'". Good thing I left it out!!! I'll edit my original message up above, to cover my tracks...

By the way, I chose "Speak Like A Child" because of it's subtle "Gil Evans"-ish horn writing, plus I love the tonal texture (meaning the sound) of those horns together, which are a unique combination of flugelhorn, bass trombone, and alto flute. Some of Herbie's most sensitive playing, me thinks, especially on the quiet tunes. Love the alternate takes on the box set too. Hope this comes out as an RVG here in the U.S. someday (with most of those bonus tracks.) ===== Oh, how can I remember that "Speak Like A Child" is my longtime favorite Herbie album?? It's the one I got him to sign, when I saw Herbie and Wayne on the "1+1" tour back around 1996 or so. Also had him sign my Miles "Complete Plugged Nickel" liner notes. (Had Wayne sign "All Seeing Eye", and the "PN" notes too.)

Thought I'd go a slightly different route with this one, and include all of Larry's dates - not just those on BN. I purposely left out "Unity" and "Into Somethin'", cuz we all know "Unity" would win, hands down -- and "Into Somethin'" would come in second (simply cuz those titles are the most widely available). I've never heard any of LY's albums outside of his work on BN --- so perhaps I'll learn something from the comments in this thread, or from how people voted - if one or more non-BN titles get several votes. It's much too late for me to type all the particulars about each album into the poll items, but here's a link to the AMG reviews - if that's of any help in voting: AMG: Larry Young bio, and discography

Gonna have to give this one some thought too. Depending on the day of the week, I could pick almost anything from "The Soothsayer" through "Schizophrenia". I usually say "All Seeing Eye" without thinking much about it, but I'm not so sure that's really my favorite. "Etcetera" is a strong contender for me too.

For years and years I've always said "Speak Like a Child", so that's how I voted here. But, given my more recent interests - I might be inclined to consider "The Prisoner". Damn, they're all great - hard to choose a bad one!!

PS: I included the lengthy descriptions of the sidemen, cuz if you're like me - you get all the Hill dates confused. I'll venture that most of us know most of these dates though the Mosaic box - and the dates all run together, with no strong "album" identity attached to each date. At least that's the way it is for me. Hope it helps people in voting, and in fostering some further discussion about the man and his music...

I just listened to three Hill sessions today: "Andrew!!", the 1965 session from "One For One", and "Compulsion". I hadn't had my Hill Mosaic out in quite a while, and I had forgotten what these sessions were like. (I plan to listen to the "Involution" date with Sam Rivers" within the next couple days.) And, I was specifically curious about "Compulsion", since we've heard from Kevin that Hill (himself) would like "Compulsion" released on CD first, before "Dance With Death". Gave me the idea for a Hill poll. I purposely did NOT include "Point of Departure", cuz we all know it would win, hands down. Some people really love it, it's probably the best selling Hill disc (by a long shot would be my guess), it's the only Hill disc available as an RVG, it's the only "non-limited edition" Hill disc currently available, it's the only Hill disc "in stock" in most stores (if there are even any at all), and as an RVG title it's the only "nice-price" Hill CD that's been available any time in the last 5+ years, etc... (So, no matter what, it'd win this poll - trust me.) ( Plus, the board software only allows 10 poll choices, and there were at least 11 Hill albums (depending on how you slice and dice them), so something had to be left out. ) I'll vote myself, after I listen to some more Hill later this week. I thought I might say "Black Fire", but having heard several more today that I wasn't as familiar with - I may surprise myself and vote for something else.

Probably not incredibly 'influential', but two unique jazz women that I really like are... June Tyson (vocalist for Sun Ra for nearly 30 years) Ingrid Jensen (who I think is sometimes a supurb trumpeter) And also, Joanne Brackeen, who is probably slightly more 'influential' than either Tyson or Jensen. Oh yeah, how could we forget...

The only other fairly late (post-1967) Pearson-lead date I've heard (and have) is "I Don't Care Who Knows It", which is OK - but I'm not much of a fan of vocals in jazz, so I don't spin it nearly as much.

How is Pearson's "The Phantom", from 1968?? I never realized until recently that this title had come out on CD - in Japan only (I think). The AMG review is decent enough (HERE), but I'd love to hear some other feedback. Is the TOCJ the complete session, or are there any alternate takes or unreleased tunes from the same session, that presumably aren't on the TOCJ?? Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, one of my personal favorites doesn't have a unique enough first or last name to do this with... Joe Henderson (Several other Joe's and a couple Henderson's too.) ===== And then there's poor, poor Bill Evans (both of them!!) - neither one of them has a unique first/last name combination!!! ( )

Includes one-word nicknames... Miles Trane Monk Ornette Tolliver Herbie Pops Duke Gotta be hundreds more... Don't know where this is going, but this thought (and thread topic) occured to me as I was typing various names into the eBay search engine. I mean, you really don't ever need to type "Ornette Coleman", since there ain't gonna be no hits on "Ornette" that don't apply to the Ornette. I also thought of this when my wife chided me for refering to so many jazz musicians by just their first name, as if I knew them personally. (Me: "Herbie this", and "Chick" that, and - well you get the idea.) In some ways, it's kind of like an 'insiders code', between jazz fans - when you don't need to mention full names in order to be completely understood. Ever meet somebody for the very first time, find out that they're a jazz fan with some reasonably semi-deep knowlege of the music - and instantly start talking about common musical interests, using the shorthand names (either just the first name, or last - whichever more uniquely identifies the artist in question), that we all know and love?? And, how easy that is to do, without even giving it a second thought??
