king ubu

disc four - After Hours at the London House + No Count Sarah Wonderful music! This box certainly is one of my favorite reissues this year!

Sad news. Dave Douglas wrote this in 2008, after Morgan had suffered a stroke: http://www.greenleafmusic.com/pianistcomposer-nate-morgan/ Some more links here: http://stompbeast.blogspot.ch/

Ornette Coleman - The Empty Pot Hole

Yes, exactly! Sorely missed!

What was the name of that one huge used CD store that closed shop a few years back? Big loss in my eyes, I perused it often ... there's so much you can get for reasonable prices in the US but can't over here ... but with the 14 or 15 bucks shipping per item, amazon marketplace isn't quite that much of an option in many cases.

Cannonball Adderley - Nothin' Else Jackie McLean - 'Bout Dough Duke Pearson - Honey Bunny not to forget: Lou Donaldson - The Sammich

Is Mosaic planning a 'Complete Moms Mabley recordings on Chess' box? MG Watch out, the next Jazz Icons box will be the complete Whoopi Goldberg ... (she your wife by any chance?)

They started deleting some entries that remained the same over several editions, eventually (don't know from what edition on, prob. 7th or 8th). Kind of makes sense, since they operated under the assumption that most readers would have previous editions ... and in light that the book could not just grow bigger and fatter, I guess it was the only way to be able and include new stuff. (Though they could also just have done one without all the over-rated british trad jazz, mind me )

sorry, more bad news, none of those is with Abbey, you can find all info here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Green/green-disc.php the August 2001 is given as 18th, not as 1st, btw. I also just ran a search on the dime-bot list - which lists all (well, not quite, there are gaps, but ...) shows added to dimeadozen ... the only hit for the song is the Salzau one by Bunky Green - that show was televised before it came out officially and the video recording was on dime ... no Abbey Lincoln shows that include this song. This is NOT conclusive, mind me ... some shows come without or with partial setlists, but still, I guess it's rather unlikely to find anything here.

Can that be applied to aussies living abroad? I'd be happy to fill some forms ...

Not sure Ubu. Anything specifically to give this away? - looks like a regular CD to me. Well, the previous set (Tempo, 6CD, I think?) was ... the discs have a slightly greenish or blueish "tan" and no - or different - numbers in the inner circle. I'm not totally opposed to selling/buying CD-Rs, but I think that should be declared.

CD-R again if you don't mind my asking?

guess if it existed AND was in circulation, it would be listed here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/Artists/Lincoln/al-disc.php

... that's the word it seems ...

Big Ansermet box just out on Decca, 32 discs, "French Music" (can't find it on amazon nor on the Decca homepage): http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/r/Decca/4807898 might be interesting, repertoire-wise, but I'm not sure I need *that* much of it .... opinions?

Okay, so I *do* know him (from enjoying a lot those BB liners - assuming they're the same that are in the Anniversary box). Thanks for filling me in, adds a lot to the credubilality or whatever that's called. Will have to finish reading the review tonight ...

Enjoying the disc a whole lot, Jim! Quality job!

Enjoy! Lots of fine stuff to discover, including some rather obscure ... dig Barney Wilen's first album as a leader, quite a heady start, doing that Monk! And having Al Levitt on board, too ...

I only listened to albums new to me, but the whole thing is very nice, for sure! Will try and read Belden's liners soon, but so far only went through the short comments on those albums I played. Very happy to finally have it here!

Yes!

I think that's the one I saw a live version of ... and yeah, it was pretty nice ... still more often than not I thought the soloists were competent and elaborate, rather than engaging, captivating - which to my ear is one of the things saxophone players with Ibrahim should be ... Carlos Ward is the yardstick, that tone alone can sting you, stir you, make you cry ... then there's Kippie (of course! the Godfather of 'em all!), Coetzee ... then Ricky Ford, Charles Davis, John Stubblefield - you name them! Those guys from the German radio big band (was it NDR or WDR? Or did he use both on different albums?) just don't do that for me ... not putting them down, mind me, I think these are mighty good bands and I enjoy plenty of stuff they did with the likes of Mike Gibbs or George Gruntz ... they're just not what I think matches Ibrahim's "burn" best (and neither are the three sax players in his current/recent Ekaya line-up, they're much too polished and not engaging enough ... maybe, after all, all these guys are too "schooled" (or not schooled enough to forget their schooling if that makes sense) to really let go with that inspired abandon, that controlled freedom that brought out the finest in Ibrahim's music. But still, if I evern want to check out one, which is that "earlier live recording", this one here: http://www.allmusic.com/album/ekapa-lodumo-mw0000015428 ?

a few more: since these oddballs have already spoilt this thread, here's a few more: then one that is a quote/homage, obviously: and finally, since empty rails seem to fit, too (see the Garrick above):

if inside counts, too ... love this cover:

Phew, got it, finally! But packaging was a gamble! The box was shrinkwrapped, and then thrown into a large box not stuffed very well at all, and that large box was indeed pretty mangled! Glad it arrived here okay. Got to deal with the pre-paid fees that amazon added to the order now ... (it's € 7 only, but they say they might ask for more in the conditions of their AmazonGlobal which they applied to this order even though I chose the standard shipping option which is free). Anyway, even if it's just 7 euro, I'm not into paying fees twice, since obviously the mailman at the door (I don't blame him!) had no idea about that (partially) pre-paid thing. Anyway, starting to listen now, just put "Dedication" in the player!

Thanks, saw it yesterday (post #9, from smartphone thus the link didn't get linkified) ... just had a closer look at the about us page and photo gallery - these guys sure look real and all. Still a weird thing to NOT include the two FMP-only cuts and to claim the Wewerka disc didn't exist. Anyway, since I have that one (and "Voices" on L+R too), I'm not game here. The ECM 2CD set "Resonance", btw is more to my liking anyway (and nice enough I have "Horizons" on vinyl, the one from which the ECM set omits two cuts). Link to the thread about that one (started by you know who):
