Well, google translate says the phrase on bokus.com means "This edition of the book is temporarily out of stock" - which again could mean there'd be more, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

His discs were all over the place when I started frequenting music stores (their jazz corners mostly). While I did enjoy some acid jazz back then (Incognito mostly, but some other things as well, Urban Species for instance, also Buckshot LeFonque, Guru/Jazzmatazz, the Brand New Heavies), I don't think I ever consciously heard Jordan play, ever.

Damn, just remembered this ... and the book is sold out already! Here are a few more pics, including the one below with Pres and Miles: http://jazzsufiern.blogspot.ch/2013/10/jan-allan-minns-sitt-femtiotal.html

have some Salt Peanuts

perusing romualdo's post above: 334 titles in the LP box 230 titles released in the CD series (including a few that were not on the LP box) 104 missing from the CD series (only 6 or 7 of those 104 are alternate takes) 243 in the new CD box 91 titles more in the LP box ... but since the new box adds a few things not in the LP box, it's probably some more (100?) assumption: those 100 are all alternate takes now what? the old CD series held plenty of alternate takes ... 97 master takes not on that CD series 243 titles in the new CD box 146 masters shared between the new CD box and the old CD series 84 takes from the CD series missing in the new box - all alternate takes? So, what's with the assumed ~100 and then the assumed ~84 alternate takes - what causes the gap? Hmmm ... and now where's this leading to, the road to nowhere? What did I forget? The new box is out of stock again everywhere by now, btw.

congrats! looking forward a lot

It's all very weird indeed! I bought my Why Not discs (and rather recent Candids) all via amazon (european sites) and they were all CDs. Crossing my fingers it will stay like this, I still want to get a few more of the Why Not releases.

Don't remember the details (I know this has been discussed somewhere on this board) - but could those be regular amazon on-demand CD-Rs or did you buy them elsewhere? As I said, all I've seen and bought (including the Bailey, that is Benny, if that's the one you mean) have been regular CDs.

Hm, always found that one quite a bit weaker than the line-up would let you hope (and assumed that was one of the reasons it wasn't released initially). Not saying it's bad, but ...

I sure hope not! And I don't think so, since those Dutch Jazz Archive sets seem to consist not of widely bootlegged usually (and this one was, as you said yourself - I got parts of it from dime years ago - the nine tracks part, not sure if the other tracks are around, but since those Spanish/Andorran labels regularly grab stuff from dime, it would only be fair to bring this back there, then).

Those Why Not albums were since regularly reissued on real CD by Candid. But there was talk here about some being CDRs but all I've seen or bought were real CDs.

uhm, not sure who those "out here" are, but *in* hiere, right in this thread, you'll see that most people react in a way that you should actually sympathize with?

They added a piano for (some of?) the album with Abbey, I think. The Enja disc is my favourite so far, looking forward to hearing the two new TCBs.

Tis indeed, but look at the "pretty good to very good" list in mjzee's most helpful overview, with which I agree ... alternatives would be aplenty in an ideal world, but as it is, there's some on Collectables (licensed, I guess) and some on Fresh Sound and the like ... and yes, I do have the official Pepper and Moore abd Paich discs. Also look at the other thread for plenty of info, including some discussion of sound that's not all that unfavorable.

Taylor Ho Bynum wrote (yet another) great tribute: read the full article here: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/culture/2014/01/postscript-roy-campbell-jr.html

Thanks indeed! And now that I read through your notes - I remember the Apollo material is definitely new to me indeed, and I did find out, but totally forgot to check it out so far.

here's a great tribute, including a run-down of a ton of records: http://www.freejazzblog.org/2014/01/roy-campbell-jr.html

Losin does not list these releases at all, I think? ... I never tried to figure it out - if you do, please post your results here! (Same goes for the Pres discs.)

(sorry, that's a pun I can never resist )

Happy birthday! But, but ... no microtones! - Though at least you did get the time signature right

This one? http://www.discogs.com/Dollar-Brand-Don-Cherry-Carlos-Ward-The-Third-World-Underground/release/3613693 Cherry's also on this: http://www.discogs.com/Abdullah-Ibrahim-Dollar-Brand-The-Journey/master/529781

Very much like the recordings of the Max Roach quintet with the Turrentine brothers snd Julian Priester, too!

disc two now

I don't wear 501s as often now due to the evolution of my waist line from 1980 through 2014. In the 'eighties they were all I wore if I had a choice. 510 here ... not that I'd fit into those Levi's ...

I've really bought it for the things other than Prez (Duke Jordan, Cecil Payne etc.) ... there's a ton of Parker (10 or 12 or so discs?) and some Pres (3 or 4 discs?) ... it was discussed in some detail here: I never tried to find out what exactly the Pres and Bird material is in detail (and haven't played any of it yet, either) ... but I think there's not much new to today's listener (i.e. Bird's Rockland is there, but I think at wrong speed ... but check the thread linked above for more).
