just sent payment last night ... had them put aside some for me ... now can hardly wait for them to get here (Hackett, Zeitlin, Handy, Mercer, Boogie Woogie and Toshiko) - will have to bribe the mis-guided self-declared "liberal" politics of monopolising imports again for sure, fegh em, but hey, the dollar is still cheap so I'm not complainin' too loudly

Apologies ... having not been aware that "Hotcakes & Outtakes" was a box set, I thought the comparison ran between "Hotcakes & Outtakes" and some un-named (the 2010 Album Series possibly) box set. Darn, why does everything always have to be so complicated? It commenced so simpil, as Krazy once said

Boulez - Complete Works (DG) currently € 36.40 at amazon.fr (gee, that "link disappearing" thing is fun!)

Thanks page!

The Hahn has been out for a couple of months (I think it was released earlier in the US than in the rest of the world). Not worth being offended by your calling her "celebrity golden goose", I guess ... girl can play! And she's alive, too. Anyway, it's a fine release, but very dense - not stuff that makes an easy listen if you have a go at all of it - as these pieces tend to be rather all-encompaassing and it gets a bit much, needs to be split up in tranches (or actually if you take it at face value, one at a piece).

Thanks a lot! And there's the Leo Cuypers, too ... too much good stuff around to keep up!

Oh, good! I thought they had to close because the state stopped funding it? I was actually wondering how long these discs might still be around, as I plan to get a few others besides the Miles (the J.J. looks mighty tasty, of course Mulligan with Eardley and Zoot, the Loevendie, the Chet). And I see there's a Rita Reys one? What's on it? The Miles isn't in the list though, and the Sassy is missing as well Here's the link to jazzmessengers.com's page of NDA offerings: http://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/27832455/complete-catalog-of-the-label-dutch-jazz-archives Besides the Miles and Sassy, there's discs by Misha Mengelberg, Art Blakey and Lee Konitz/Zoot Sims, too - they all look tasty! But they don't have the Loevendie ...

I still don't have it ... but jazzmessengers.com is selling these Netherlands Jazz Archive sets. That though is the other sorry-assed aspect of those bootleg labels growing faster then some fungus ... they get wide distribution, wider than the original often.

The "Box Set versions" being? The ones in the new complete box?

well, we don't *know* it's a boot (but still we know, don't we?) ... but that's part of their game

Can't tell you ... haven't heard any other editions (besides an MSFL or whatever those are called of the debut album that a friend once copied).

Special? Probably that it's a blatant rip-off of the recent Amsterdam set that to my best knowledge was as official as these radio archival releases get? http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Disco.aspx?id=Amsterdam60 Not sure what "complete" means, but I guess adding the Scheveningen set (another disc) would ... an oft-circulated fine recording - alas Sony feghed up with the big KoB box by only adding one title from it.

I've got the Original Album Series with the first five, plus the two-disc ediition of "Waiting for Columbus" ... guess that's all I really need. But I would be tempted if I hadn't got these already!

Thanks! Not listed here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Hampton/lwh-disc.php

Great news indeed!

Now that's some funny sh*t! Missed that thread back then ... also never caught Candy live, alas.

and yeah, occasionally I enjoy a Ragusa ... as a kid I ate this crap (ever read how the "smoky" taste is fabricated and what's added to the "glue" in a Mars? you better don't if you want to go on eating this stuff) here's another Swiss classic that I prefer to Ragusa and that's pretty much no bull-shit as well: some background in this crappy promo that acts like it's news: http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/news/feature/The_secret_of_a_Swiss_sweet_success.html?cid=7818558

Hey, good to see you around, hope all is well! Here, I think Oliver Lake leads with five appearances (Trio 3 or co-led affairs all), Bob Dylan four times ... not sure how often I saw some rhythm section players, really.

Thanks Lon!

There are a few tracks without KD: he lays out #6-7 of the first and #2-3 of the second disc. Disc two was all new/prev. unreleased in the 1997 edition, to my knowledge. So really, there's one album here (disc one, #1-4), and 12 bonus tracks.

Had never had that happen ... but I'm not sure if I ever ordered a Select on its own. Anway, the Select outer boxes always were flimsy and usually too big, for whatever reason, so mine most often get crushed a bit after a while anyway.

I know this is off topic here, but since you mention it ... I wonder why anyone really needs those RVGs of Prestige material (or the Keepnews Editions or OJC Remasters) when the old Fantasy discs in almost every case seem to sound good? (I know, some OJC Remasters and Keepnews Edition discs contained bonus material or were hard to come by or not on CD before, so I went for them ... but in general, I don't quite see the point all that much there. Care to offer your opinion on this? Lon, too?

Are they bred to do so or are they conditioned after birth? Altough I have very little sympathies for such breeds, I'm more with Jazzmoose here. I grew up around dogs, never had anything serious (actually nothing non-serious either), even though one of them was an aggressive as hell small terrier. My parents tought us kids how to behave and how to treat the dog and it all went perfectly well. Growing up I was eventually even able to pat it ... and it was incredible sad to see the tough bastard make up his mind and slowly leave us (he just stopped eating, then drinking ... and it took days, weeks even, he still seemed kinda alright, but eventually there was nothing left to do but call the vet. Much sadder was fifteen years later (about ten years ago) having to call the vet to kill our next family dog, the one I picked ... glad I happened to be there with my mother when that day took place. Some sad cat stories, too, but I told them before, I think (and I'm afraid dog-lovers will bully me outta this thread real quick, though frankly it never got in my head why so many people seem to have to take an either/or choice .... that tough little sucker I just mentioned even lived along a cat for a few months, before she was run over by a car ... that was before my memory kicks in though). And all the best to your three-legged companion, Dave!

That's great news! Seriously, that's desert island stuff! I thought it might not because in the list above it says "bonus" for some discs. Like this, I'd advise to pluck the day ... or some such. I might even be tempted myself, just because. Although with all the stuff I keep buying it's really super silly to get duplicates.

Thanks!
