You can get "Big Chief" http://www.honestjons.com/shop.php?pid=34108&LabelID=15913&g=1 http://www.50milesofelbowroom.com/artist/147-sunny-murray.html

very sad recently got hold of this beautiful solo disc, will give it a spin tonight:

Watched "Magic City" 1.1 - 1.3 - pretty nice and stylish. No subs, so at times a bit difficult to follow (I'd hate watching in dubbed though, they always have the same four or five guys and gals dubbing all the films and series, it seems ... like Gaby from "Desparate Housewives", or rather her German dubbing speaker, is all over the place and it's quite a nuisance really). Anyway, missed recording 1.4 but will try and catch the remaining episodes - and if Season 2 will be aired, I'll be in, too. This is the kind of short thing I can squeeze in between the other things I want to do. Terrific!!! Oh, wow, that's cool indeed! I'm way behind, but we've got the DVD box of Seasons 1 and 2, only caught a few episodes of the first on TV ... Hopefully they'll air season three on some channel that offers original soundtracks (guess not though, German tv stations are too dumb for that and I don't think Swiss tv ever had any "Luther" on).

same for the beautiful cover ... no info in the booklet (unless it's in the notes, but I don't want to re-read them all just to find out)

errors? what, are you out of your minds?

Great, thanks! Here's a link to that post:

Rooster, is that just about a casual conversation after concert, or do you intend to do a real interview or something? Yes indeed! What's that black plastic thingie stuck to the trumpet right in front of his face? Is that a smartrumpet or something? Hate to see it when good musicians have to play such lousy things as Billy Gault in that long video .... Some comments to this video here with statements about Gault ... thous this being the intterzone, ya never know:

r.i.p.

Shipping was 12.50 - guess that's just what it takes these days. I wanted the disc, so it was fine.

Some beautiful Lyons here, indeed! Available from Cadence, that's where I just ordered mine.

Hm, this is a bit weird ... if they want to do it right (and I'm sure they want!), why not postpone it, even if by some years (okay, the future isn't safe, I guess, but ...), and wait for the metal parts to become accessible again? Or does such stuff take decades with the LoC? I'm not sure I'll get this, it's one I'd rather jump for at the last moment, I guess, if at all ... the Ella sides, master takes only, are covered in the French Complete Masters box, for Webb I've got Chronos which probably can't complete with other releases soundwise, but still, I guess I've got 90% of the music and this isn't exactly a cheap set, so ... Seems, btw, to be 49 tracks taken from CDs (my browser gives 53 hits for "(CD)", four in the discography, the rest in the list of sources used - btw. those lists are a nice idea, play it open, I sure appreciate that! And I wonder how often in earlier sets they actually might have done the same, might have even announced it in the "producer's note", but it's somewhat hidden in there, the detailed list is a nice new addition, I've only seen it once in a box, I think .. is there on in the Hines? A friend got this and I was there when he opened it, don't have it myself yet.)

Very moving indeed. And extremely sad news.

Happy Birthday, Dan!

Playing this for the first time right now ... "Red Snapper", that is - intriguing!

okay, nothing to see here, move on folks

Try and get the OOP Juan Calle disc, too - that one is great as well! And yeah, the Barry Sisters, too! But I guess that's not to everybody's liking ... there's a previous thread here:

@sgcim: I love "Sweet Smell of Success", too! A small label called Reboot Stereophonic did a wonderful reissue of the Folk album - I know you saw the line-ups and stuff, but they've got the entire booklet up on their site - some good notes and all info there is avaiable (who did the fine cover painting, though?): http://idelsohnsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/far_out_folk_songs_liner_notes.pdf There's also a sound sample (Store > Albums): http://www.rebootstereophonic.com

Eleven thousand five hundred twenty one, right? I'd buy two if they'd pay me that!

Why not just order from amazon.it? I'm aware you don't get free shipping liki I do, but are their rates ridiculous and much more so than those of marketplace vendors?

Universal Europe does, but not the Brownie box

Why use commas with numbers anyway ... we use apostrophes here, and all that's at the bottom means it goes to the next smaller unit 53'342.98 is fifty three thousand three hundred forty two point ninety eight. Sometimes all those anglo-saxons just don't make sense

I'll definitely try and be there at Rote Fabrik! If you feel like having a chat before or after the concert, I'd sure be in! They haven't yet put the October concerts on their site, so I was not aware - great news!

Sheesh, guys, you have me falling into a coma ... The box is a straight reissue of the Koyama-produced "Brownie" box that has all the EmArcy material. There's even a line on the huge backcover that says so. As for Universal, yes ... ex-Fantasy material is indeed distributed by Universal in Europe, for quite a while already (probably after Concord took over ... before that, we had those crazy sales when the previous licensee, ZYX sold off its remaining stock - the forum dinosaurs fondly remember that, I'm sure). These sets are legit ... and yes, the stuff's PD, so that probably explains why they're cheap - no payments going anywhere, as with all the pirates, but you get the music from the source (or well, closer to the source an in usually better fidelity than from the pirates). But then it is my understanding that the same applies to Japanese reissues which are so fondly treasured here, so no one dare and complain, m'kay? There are many italian boxes around and some of them have been discussed here ... Coltrane, Rollins, Miles Prestige, Monk, Baker Riverside, Ellington Carnegie Hall, Evans Riverside/Milestone ... they have the albums and nothing else. So the Rollins is smaller, only including leader dates (not sure about co-led/jam ones ... there's a much nicer German reissue of the big box with all of it and with a booklet, too, this one, while this is the Italian one - it says 12 discs there - but these will be 40min discs, one album per CD). I guess the cheapo Universal repackings (JATP, Pres - both very OOP) are from Universal Italy as well. Not sure there have been more of those, but the big Billie Holiday box has just been re-done, too (I mentioned it elsewhere): Mind you, I don't have any of these ... bought the Rollins once, since I'd mis-placed the booklet of the small-scale ZYX Complete Prestige Recordings set ... only to find the Rollins had no liners whatsoever, all very basic, a nice colourful booklet with a double-page on each album, cover on one side, info on the other ... all you really need to know, but none more ... after the missing booklet turned up in the empty house of my parents again, just before they started tearing down ... I presented the other box to a friend. @Lon: do go for the Konitz Milestone if you don't have it! The four albums pesent Lee in a variety of settings and they're all very good! The two later duos w/Alan Broadbent haven't grabbed me really yet (I'm not even sure I've heard the second one at all). I got all of them in single editions.

Half an hour of disc seven to go ... as great as expected ... and "A Lonely Day in Selma, Alabama/Freedom" on the final disc is definitely a highlight!

Coin Coin Chapter 2 is indeed to appear soon: http://cstrecords.com/cst098/
