disc 5 of the Hackett

Maybe it lulls people who are just handling it into a sleep? I'd say not if they have ears to listen ... but then that pretty often proves a rather rare treat if you exit this place and enter real world. Crossing my fingers, Mike! If bad comes to worse, let me know ...

Same here! I guess those plus the White ones would have just about been enough to fill a second volume as Fresh Sound had it planned once.

Wouldn't say "fan", but yeah, I like some his stuff. Got te Blue Note box (just filmsy cardboard wrapped around the single discs) way overprized many years back ... and frankly some of it is dreck - the trio with Shorter/Hall is nice, so is te Ellington solo album and the first one, "Pianism" (w/Palle Danielsson, Eliot Zigmund) ... there's a wonderful duo with Lee Konitz on Owl, on the same label I have a nice trio disc with Jean-François Jenny Clark and Aldo Romano simply titles "Michel Petrucciani" (they didn't properly reissue their Petrucciani recordings on disc, rater did a 2CD compilation which I never got) ... and finally Blue Note reissued two really nice ones when they did those few Elektra reissues, "100 Hearts" (solo) and "Live at the Village Vanguard" (w/Palle Danielsson and Eliot Zigmund), both recorded live. Guess i should try the (semi-)eletrified albums on Blue Note again ... or maybe not (they're "Music", "Playground" and "Live" ... there's also "Michel Plays Petrucciani" with Gary Peacock and Roy Haynes plus John Abercrombie, Eddie Gomez Al Foster, Steve Thornton ... not really electric other than Aberzombie, but I never connected much to that either). As a sideman, there's of course the wonderful "From the Soul" by Joe Lovano ... and a much less succesful but still nice one co-led with Steve Grossman. He might play too many notes a bit too often, but he certainly had it going!

discs 3 and 4

Okay ... so it was just the two discs by/with White - that rings a bell. I guess I should have another try. So there must be more material that is on either Vol. 1 or the single discs, as the White material alone would not have made up another 3 disc set ... there's no listing here and a web search doesn't help much either. But I stumbled over this: http://jazztimes.com/articles/9065-the-complete-noctourne-recordings-jazz-in-hollywood-series-volume-1-herbie-harper-with-bud-shank-harry-babasin-bob-enevoldsen-virgil-gonsalves-lou-levy-and-jimmy-rowles and this helpful thread here: EDIT: there's more ... by looking for "NLP 1" to "NLP 11" here, you'll find the details: http://www.jazzdisco.org/fantasy-records/discography-1953-1954/

post #30 here: too bad!

Don't think so ... all Dutch recordings.

It's a great one! from my list: CD 1: Ben Webster At Ease (1969 - Frans Wieringa, Gerard Holdgrefe, Tom van Steenderen) + For the Guv'nor (1969 - Cees Slinger, Jacques Schols, John Engels) CD 2: Last Concert (live 1973 - Irv Rocklin, Henk Haverhoek, Peter Ypma) rhythm sections aren't always up to Ben's standard, and the sound on the live disc is muddy, but ... I love late Ben!

Well no, those single discs on Fantasy contained a variety of sessions not in Vol. 1 (I guess they'd have been in Vol. 2) - but I've never really tried to get those (I remember I once figured out which ones I'd have to get, but I forgot). Anyway, guess you got the Rowles, but not generally "all Nocturne", sorry if I got you wrong and you know that

I think you're right And I think that's where they (Mosaic) did a less good job than the Nocturne box (didn't yet try to find it).

I'sn't the Rowles the same that's in the Pacific Jazz Piano Trios Select? I've not got the Nocturne set around to compare ... but yes, there's more around. Too bad this lovely set didn't sell enough for them to do Volume 2, it's one where they did things right! (There's even something they included, I think, that Mosaic missed ... need to dig out the Nocturne box, no clue where it could be though). Now playing: That box kinda took me by surprise, I had no idea it might even be around as a possibility ... I'd hardly known any of the material before (I think the lone one I had as OJCCD is "The Panther" - excellent quartet date w/Flanagan). Anyway, I've not nearly spent enough time with this and since I get a kick out of LTD right now, it's the time to give this (or parts of it) another spin. Now discs 4 and 5 (the larger parts of both), the Left Bank recording with Bobby Timmons - messy stuff, but I love it! Afterwards probably the Montreux set with Junior Mance and then "The Panther" (which goes into disc 7) ... oh, the set has plenty of previously unissued alternates. Not that I could really point out any merits or say they're superfluous at this point, but still ... plenty of prev. unissued alternates around ... from the Power/Tower sessions, there's one new tune and six alternates all previously unissued, plus one alt that was on some Dex plays the blues thing. There are also three newly issued alternates from "The Panther", one from "The Chase" with Jug (plus one already on the CD reissue), four from "The Jumpin' Blues" (plus one on that blues thingy), one from the "Generation" session (plus two already added to CDs), and finally an additional tune from "Blues à la Suisse" ... (and the tune added to the CD reissue of the Montreux set is of course there, too, as are all prev. unissued titles added to previous reissues, I reckon). Anyway, great set, a true treasure trove!

Yep, that series was excellent, I got about two dozen of 'em ... another one to look out for is the Pacific half of the McCann/Turrentine bargain ... and they did "Tenorman", too!) I'd still ove to see the missig one of the Lighthouse Crusaders ... wouldn't that be one for Dustygroove? They never did EMI stuff though, as far as I know, only Universal and lately Concord?

Yep, I agree ... though as I mentioned I'm still tempted by the "all in one" package in order to have it all in chronological order (does the 16 disc set also omit the handful of cuts sans Coltrane from "The Cats", the Draper album, the one w/Lady Q? anyone knows, I'd need to bether my friend again, but he's usually away from his CDs over the weekend, so ...)

Mine's under lock and key 1500 miles away (I hope) played the end of disc 2 again ... the one with the three vocal singers ... even there, there's some delightful trumpet/conret playing to be heard looking forward to the jazz stuff (discs 3 and 4), probably make that today's late night listen ...

Constipation

getting my first taste ... perfect for tonight (disc one, probably disc two as well afterwards)

I've got the Miles on order now ... guess I'll know more in about a week's time

afternoon and evening, into disc 4 (ending with all the fine Power/Tower material)

meretricious

Not sure ... I only just got it (I'm not saying "got aware", since I might have seen it and forgotten again years ago), but that's indeed one of those about which that thread initially was intended to be about (it got, of course, derailed as well).

missed this in the earlier thread ... I'll ask around, haven't seen/heard this though, so I guess chances are rather slim

Remember this thread? (And look who started it )

just got it ... can help you if you still need it, just drop me a note and I'll tend to it over the weekend!
