You are my kinda guy, Ronald! @MG: the question is about the new release, I assume ... and Don Moye, to most of us, is he who was the drummer of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, of course

Okay, thanks ... the technicalities ... not too good in these things, but too bad about the boxes, I'd have loved to see them all! Not too far with Volume 1 yet, but it's been very revealing to me, in many respects!

Sure they do ... but what I'd wish for was a complete Hancock release, with all his music, indepentendly of what was actually used in the film!

That's quite a load ... reminds me I've got barely any Kenny Drew leader stuff ... any recommendations from amongst those above? Anyone knows more about these, recording dates, playlist ... are they of the Japanese smoothed-down variant (thinking soft standards on Venus) or are they the real thing?

I'd be all for a complete edition of this, two discs filled with all of it, or at least all of the Herbie material ... I could live without the rest, I guess. Doesn't bother me, but I don't feel like having to revisit.

prices on amazon.fr just dove ... and cheap me put in his orders (still missing all but the Muhal from the previous batch though): Bley (26€) Cyrille (19€) Farmer (18€) Lake (18€) and: Gaslini (24€) the two I really wanted to get soon were the Bley and Gaslini, but dammit, the Cyrille and the Lake look mighty good, too (and I don't know any of them but the ones with Cyrille and Lyons - there they made a weird omission ... and hey, here's one where I can listen and see if I can hear how these new remasters destroy all the music ) Oh, the Murray is down to 19€, too - but not in stock at the moment (didn't order it yet)

This has been asked before, I think, but I forgot the answer ... those 800 examples, they're the replacement of the further three blues boxes? Or will those appear as well? And are those tracks downloadable (for MP3 player or anything) or just for streaming?

seems to be for real: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/art/Keith-Jarrett-No-End/hnum/3403329 but it has the feel of darn gread practical joke

Yep, but if it's half as good as I hope, it does easily deserve its own thread

also here, with no need to open drop down lists: http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/de/cat/4791043 will have a closer look, but most likely I'm not interested - got some that I want and will rather get a few more single ones.

what's an MD, a doctor of medicine?

Thanks! Will definitely try and find it ... how does the CD relate? Does it contain music actually heard in the film or is that an alternative/later recording?

Thanks. There seem to be various issues with this same cover .... guess I'll nose around local shops (which will ask too high a price, but if I get what I want, that's okay).

Okay, to get back on topic ... or rather the real topic which the disc linked in the original post is only teasing us with ... What about this? What DVD edition is it that you're talking of, I'm sure there are various around?

Don't think any of these euro official pd releases were remastered ... nor had any new material. But at least they started including real booklets, it seems.

If it's indeed the two previous boxes (and not the silly "original album" stuff), it's great stuff! Some of my favourite Jarrett, hands down (which of course has something to do with the sidemen involved ...)

That's actually how it went with me (albeit in the 90s) ... the Rollins above thus was meant only half jokingly, as it helped me appreciate Shelly Manne bigtime! Among the first things I've heard were the Chico Hamilton Mosaic box, then soon after the Bud Shank - I went for the West Coast Classics on Blue Note (well, most of them, somehow two of the best, the Curtis Amy and Earl Anderza escaped me for rather long time, our own brownie rightened the Anderza situation later), and I went for several of the Mode reissues by V.S.O.P. - bought that stuff along with Mosaic boxes from True Blue - loads of it, and there was some West Coast material included pretty often - Conte Candoli, Art Pepper, Frank Rosolino, lots of Chet Baker, also Mulligan ... then it was Shelly Manne whose stuff I started chekcing out. Got the Gioia book here by now, but didn't start reading it yet. That sounds good! It seems it's being reprinted and to be out again in three weeks: http://www.amazon.fr/West-Coast-Jazz-Alain-Tercinet/dp/2863646656/

Not an expert, but I snatched up each and any Connoisseur LP I could get for an okay price and I'm pretty glad I did, even though it's just half a dozen (mostly a CD guy).

and what to you wear while they're drying?

Weston's page says the Enja reissue of "African Night" omits two of the titles: http://randyweston.info/randy-weston-discography-pages/1975africannite.html @Milestones: do look for some of those LPs in those years ... some of the finest Weston around! Besides the Owl solo, I partucularly love the solo on Freedom ("Blues to Africa") as well as the album he made with Harper in that same year and also on Freedom, "Carnival".

well, your loss ...

Have you already heard it? If that's indeed so, the news is all the better! He's heard for too short a time on most studio cuts, but time restrictments wouldn't apply live, so yeah ... sounds great!

it's the same recording as on the Owl one ("African Nite"), but Owl sounds much better. Thanks for confirming ... I'd often wondered how that might have ended up on both these labels, anyone knows the story behind it?
