I see your point and can endorse it for sure! It's just that with Coltrane Reference, the chronology half (documenting gigs etc) was much more intriguing to me than the actual discography half of the book. But of course I could learn some from that part, too ... some of the releases are messy (the notorius Fantasy box is the worst), and some of the chopped up late session were interesting to read up, too. The bad thing is just that any printed discography will be outdated as soon as it's fixed on paper ... I guess it would be cool to put the entire discography online somewhere. If they don't want to give it away for free, put a coupon into the book or something like that ... But regardless, it's a huge achievment (and I will buy a second edition, too, call me crazy! I went for the first a year or so ago, when the paperback was still unsure). So you're doing a Tjader book? A discography? Anyway, that's cool! And if the Gryce book really comes out again, I won't miss it this time!

into disc three now - some magnificient stuff here!

It's a great book! And while I'd love it to update automatically, I don't really care much about updates with regard to new European bootlegs of live concerts - to me, it's more interesting to follow Trane nearly day-by-day. The chronology hence is the much more interesting half of the book to me (I have probably 98% of the recorded music anyway and know on which disc to find what ... call me an ignorant, but I've always been more into having all session info there, rather than knowing that track number seventeen was on this and that various artists compilation, too ... on the other hand, it can be very helpful to actually hunt down some particular track, but then that's not an issue with Coltrane, it's almost all there anway!)

Have you tried "Coltrane Reference" and the updates on David Wild's site? Here's the 1960 additions with some info/updates on March 28: http://www.wildmusic-jazz.com/jcr_1960.htm And here's 1961 with additions/updates on the Africa/Brass session: http://www.wildmusic-jazz.com/jcr_1961.htm

Miles Davis - The Complete Lost Quintet Recordings Still there ... before played the second set from Stockholm (just put together a disc without "This", not that it would really matter ...), and now Rotterdam. Amazing stuff!

I enjoy that one pretty much, too! It was reissued on CD by Sony France (I think) fairly recently. Around the time they did those Dave Bailey and Charlie Rouse Epic reissues, too, I think.

Ronnie Scott's, London, 1969-11-02 love that stuff! Salle Pleyel, Paris, 1969-11-03 This stuff is better than what Sony chose for the (great to have and very, very good) set.

Ronnie Scott's, London, 1969-11-02 love that stuff!

Winnie the Pooh Grand Poobah Anna Livy Plurabelle (oops, Paul beat me, sorry)

Miles Davis - The Complete Lost Quintet (well no, you can't *buy* it, but it's floating like two sperm whales) right now: the speed-fix of Vienna, October 31, 1969 - pretty darn good! and the audience booed and walked out to large parts, it seems ... how I wish I'd been around in those days!

(sorry, wrong thread)

I always do google searches ... got the above hits by entering "why not site:organissimo.org" - works much better than the board search function (which will not deliver any results for three-letter words anyway, I think).

previous threads:

I agree to agree.

Happy Birthday!

Hm, tricky stuff then ... the bonus tracks would also not be PD as they were released much later?

That really sucks indeed! I've got all the impressed/re-pressed CDs (except for "Return Visit", which is in the RRK box) and the entire NY album plus that half album tagged on at the end, plus Spillett's liner notes, would have been enough for me to buy it, but like this, that's really much less that case!

previous thread: wasn't aware the NY album was part of this box ... if it had been in there in its entirety, that alone would have been reason enough to buy it!

We still don't!! couldn't care less!

What was I, member 137? 173? Took me a week to find out, but I was a newbie when the BNBB went down and none of you seemed to want and have me here

So you must know all about voicings No; there'll always be neo-jazz. MG So what is the cutoff year for "real jazz" then? If all new musicians play "neo-jazz" then that means at some point the original version ceased to exist and has been replaced by a facsimile. What year did that happen out of curiosity? Dang, MG! Smack dab in the middle! Neo-jazz is where technique is perfected, where musicians are produced that are able to perform in any setting, be it a musical pit, a telly commercial, a "real" (dig?) jazz gig, backing a bad pop singer, playing in the band of some boring tv talent show ... you know, a musician's got to make a living (huh? that's a way of arguing you often get to hear when jobs in military industry are in danger, too ... kind of a reversal of cause and effect ... same with all those jazz colleges, in my opinion). Jazz is where you get musicians expressing their feelings in their own way ... but the results might not necessarily be "jazz music", I guess

How glad the many millions of Annabelles and Lillians would be to capture me But you had such persistence, you wore down my resistance I fell and it was swell

where's the party crasher?
