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.

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)

only what is "the"? I'm hoping for plenty more until "the" is reached!

But TCB does such a good job restoring sound, I guess it will be pretty much of an upgrade over the compressed FM or Digisat sources floating around!

It IS around since RSR broadcast it after Roach's death ... they did a 3-part-programme with later stuff included, too.

Dude? Or is that: doooood?

Oh, I see ... I never really looked at their DL only page.

You speakin' of Keith "No End" Jarrett, right?

well, in that terminology the Impulse albums would be - in my view, which probably needs correction anyway - the smooth jazz years

It's good! Got to spin it again very soon, but the first couple of spins were most enjoyable! There's a remark I caught in the notes (which I've not yet read in full) about the "low end theory" that Weston and Harper share - makes lots of sense to me ... there's a constant low rumble to this, even when it's quiet on the surface, there's much force and power hidden beneath, kept in reserve, it seems. I like that! And as one not too well-versed in Harper's discography, it's great to have some recent stuff of his, his tone is gorgeous here! Somehow this album reminds me of old singers and how they (take Sheila Jordan for a prime example) can do almost whatever they want, how they can losen up and pull stuff that would just sould weird or even wrong with a younger voice ...

I gulp with you - and I have my strawberry wine now and shut up ...

There have been several discussions, even entire thread, dedicated to Tyner's health. I hope he's doing well! Saw him live in 2011, in fact sitting right next to his piano on a bar stool, thus able to watch his hands all night long - and close enough to hear him very lowly sing along most every line his left hand was playing. Wonderful concert (with Gary Barth, Gerald Cannon and Joe Farnsworth - a German report i wrote can be found here) and very fond memories. The only time I caught him live though, at least so far. He seemed frail and was moving slowly, but once at the piano, he was highly concentrated and definitely in the mood to play! And yes, much love from me for the Mosaic Select, that was what I meant when I mentioned the "late Blue Notes" in an earlier post here! (Plus of course "The Real McCoy", too, which was my first Tyner album, besides some sideman recordings with Coltrane, but "The Real McCoy" was among my first 25 or 30 jazz CDs, I think - still have that one, an old McMaster.)

Great news! And note it says "Vol. 1", there'll be a second one! Love this particular Roach group a lot!
