I've got "Legrand" and "Communication" (which was reissued as part of the Jazz in Paris series) but haven't heard the Rodges and Shank ones yet. And I think I can deal wiht some of that Columbia stuff, too... Btw, Legrand just made an album with Natalie Dessay ... guess I gotta check out that one soon, too!

Yeah, the Brooks is wonderful! Even though I got all the CDs as well, I still cherish it! Got that one, the Pepper 3LP and the Buck Clayton from a great local record shop, in the very late 90s, I think. Was hooked by Brooks very much and instantly!

Maybe those used in the recent French box?

Ah well ... guess this is the only way Universal sees fit to do anything with their Legrand holdings ... I'd be in for single releases à la "Jazz in Paris", too - but they're not going to happen, so I'll gladly take the more is less box then

That's a gorgeous one ... and yes, since in Europe Universal is distributing what used to be Fantasy material, they maybe could have found a way to sneak it in. It's around as OJCCD though, that's how I've got it: http://www.amazon.fr/After-Rain-Michel-Legrand/dp/B000000YZW/

hardly know his work, but still, sad news

and here's the missing Vol. 34:

That one was gone when I "joined" (1997 I assume, maybe 1998 - the TKM came somewhen in 1997, but it took me a few months after reading and clipping a rewiew to figure out how to get hold of it ... and then surface shipping took another pair of months).

Does look nice for sure: But then I've got way too much to be in for this, I guess ... unless that live concert turns out extremely tempting. Can't find any more specific information about it yet though.

Budvar yes, Budweiser no.

Not surprised by these reactions, but for folks who bought the recent Demy/Legrand Intégrale, this might be a perfect companion piece. I'm quite sure I'll get it!

Ha .... if I had any Bud in my house I might indeed accidentally burn it after all the music had been rescued

Tristano/Konitz/Marsh ... first one, bought while in high school, huge hassle (and expenses) then, had to pay by sending an IMO (took two weeks or so to arrive, then I waited 2-3 months for surface shipping - which turned out to be the safest way and the one most often to slip through customs without causing any additional expenses, so I gladly - yet impatiently - waited). After that, I started picking them up in groups of two or three to six .... other ones I got early on include the Basie Roulette live, the Giuffre, Chico Hamilton, Lee Morgan, but I'm really not sure about the sequence after the TKM which kind of caused an avalanche

Just stumbled over this on amazon.fr - 40€ only http://www.amazon.fr/Anthology-coffret-15-Michel-Legrand/dp/B00F570JN6/ Coffret 15 CD + livret 72 pages accompagné de photos rares et inédites. CD 1 : I Love Paris / Legrand in Rio CD 2 : Legrand Jazz / Michel Legrand big band plays Richard Rodgers CD 3 : Hommage à George Gershwin CD 4 : Stan Getz, Communications '72 / Bud Shank plays Michel Legrand CD 5 : Arrangements et chansons originales CD 6 : Michel Legrand chante et s'accompagne / Sérénades du XXème siècle CD 7 : Michel Legrand & Jacques Demy CD 8 : Jazzic in Classic (album inédit, pour harpe et orchestre symphonique) CD 9 : Ouvrages symphoniques CD 10 : Interprètes internationaux CD 11 : Spectacles musicaux CD 12 : Dessins animés CD 13 : Hommage à Alain Delon CD 14 : Michel Legrand & Joseph Losey CD 15 : Films américains Guess this should make a fine companion piece to the Too bad though they didn't include the pretty good "Live at Shelly's Manne-Hole", a 1968 live album with Ray Brown and Manne, and a Verve release, so it would have been available/eligible, I assume.

Yes, me too! Very happy that I was able to get it a few years back! (Got the CD version though)

LP 1 (Ammons + duets)

... been there plenty o'times and it still hurts our european minds and always will, I'm afraid - huge cultural gap there.

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

Coleman Hawkins - Live Sessions at the Savoy Ballroom, Harlem, August 1940 (Musidisc)

Mine, too - yesterday. Still waiting for all of them though ...

Jason Adasiewicz' Sun Rooms - Spacer (Delmark)

Living By Lanterns - New Myth/Old Science (Cuneiform)

Nice The booklet seems not to be included - like with the reissue of Badura-Skodas Schubert - but the PDF is around for free, so ... not sure yet, but I held in my hands and "shook" a sealed copy at the shop today and it seemed far too light to contain such a substantial booklet (as does, for instance, the Café Zimmermann Bach box).

They're fairly cheap @ jazzmessengers.com, or via marketplace vendors on sites such as priceminister.com I'm a big fan of the series ... striving to have all of it, but in the past few years I couldn't alyways quite keep up the pace. The sub-series with the Jazz Live Trio is very much worth your attention, too! And obvously the new Q with Nat Cole is gorgeous! Mostly, they're not playing together, and the Q material, unlike the early TCB release of a Lausanne set, is not part of the cheapo PD 4CD Q live "Complete 1960 European Concerts" set (which I did buy ... there's another disc in it that was out on Q's Quest, but I guess ripping of Q a bit is rather okay, he's had it coming )

Sun Ra - The Antique Black (Kindred Spirits)
