In the vernacular of we "'merikans" as you call us, it's "ya get what ya pay for". Sure, enjoy the music. Hell, even feel free to be ecstatic about the low price you paid. But don't think for a minute that you or anyone else is owed a free ride from anyone in any business that endeavors to make a profit, especially ones in the music industry. Even Chuckie's out to make money, and if you think he's entirely in it to "give" to us fans, you are simply fooling yourself. You want a better booklet from Sony, ya gotta be willing to swallow and say 'ahhhhhhhhh'. Gee, did I ever get ecstatic or even comment on the cheap price? I would certainly not have minded to pay twice as much for this very same package without swallowing or saying ahhhhhhh! Okay? Get it?

Yeah, or you just don't get it ... whatever that means. Or the other way 'round. Zunderopsi, as I say in my vernacular.

My point should be self-evident. My point is that YOU do not get the POINT. "Stop worrying about what you didn't get, and enjoy what you DID get". It could all go away in a flash, and then, WHAT? So I am not allowed to criticise, huh? That's a weird position that I will, sorry, never ever share, no matter what subject it's about. I am very happy about both MD Bootleg releases and I clearly said so. That however does not mean I'm not allowed to voice criticisms on minor issues such as packaging, at least not in my opinion. I should "enjoy what I DO get" ... as I said, I do! "It could all go away in a flash" ... yes, it could, but I think it was a point you made that they're obviously making money out of this AND I am a paying customer, so I really don't see why I should just shut the fegh off as you tell me to. What's that crap that you merikins always carry proudly in front of you, to defend, for instance, burning crosses in front of black people who mistakenly found their way into a home in a white neighbourhood? Some amendment or some such ... I don't give much for that ... but I will always voice criticism and consider that part of being alive. Bread and butter, so to say. But that's, for me, the end of this silly discussion.

I'm not Colin obviously, but I assume he meant "New Soil", which is excellent ... ... has Byrd on it!

I looked through his discography and tried a google search - both with no luck. I never find anything on that site ... could you post a link, please?

Thanks for those details ... no, didn't know much about it yet, as I only heard the music but hadn't ready any liners yet. Will have to dedicate some time to that next time I grab some George Lewis, I love that music, but still don't play it all that often.

Dude, what's your point?

coming up on DG, can't find any details on their site yet: The John Eliot Gardiner Collection, 30CD, amazon.de pre-order EUR 62,99 could be mighty good, no? all I have is what's in the DG Baroque box (mainly Monteverdi's wonderful "Orfeo", but also some Schütz, Bach etc.)

the tetragonisation of crap, probably - sorry, but there's really no need to put liners on the back of a poster in order to put that - fold to the size of a regular CD booklet - into a slot that holds a booklet ...

Bullshit

shit! will dig up some of his music, always seemed to like him somewhat better than all those who found him "academic" (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean)

Happy birthday! Just saw her in the movies, singing the title song in Otto Preminger's "Bonjour Tristesse". Definitely one of the film's best moments!

maybe after all we should invest here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/461687407/kickstarter-open-source-death-star

Did anyone actually ever compare the Mosaic and the two discs with some of the same material on American Music? I was overjoyed to find the Mosaic some time back, but then didn't like the discovery that I've already owned a substantial part of it ... and just stacked the discs away then ... How come, anyway, that material ended up on American Music and Blue Note?

I can relate to that very much ... it's a mighty fine and swinging album, but something that's there on the Philips albums is definitely lacking here. Couldn't say quite what it was, but that's how I always heard it.

Mal Waldron with Woody Shaw and Charlie Rouse .... or with Jim Pepper. (Only "Crowd Scene" with Sonny Fortune has been mentioned so far, I think.) And thinking of Mal Waldron: ragged, but I like it!

:tup Julian Dash, too!

Great track, but it's 13:19. How about "Marchin' Along" (17:40) from Tiny Grimes and Hawkins' "Blues Groove"? Never let it be said that Bean couldn't play the blues -- at least eventually. In case Grimes is not to your taste, Hawkins' epic solo begins at the 8:26 mark and lasts roughly 5:40. Oh yes, great track!

cheers! Now back on topic ... don't think Art Pepper has been mentioned? Plenty of long tunes I love in his late recordings, but I can't nominate any favourites, would have to return to the music first ... but I do remember some particularly good stuff on the Ronnie Scott's sessions that Laurie put out (the "Blues for the Fisherman" tapes). And another bit of hard-to-believe wonder: the twenty or so minutes track featuring Albert Ayler with the 1962 Cecil Taylor trio (Lyons/Murray) from the "Holy Ghost" box!

So you found it, the quadrature of the circle!

I guess I'll go for the Perlman, Stern and Zukerman ... will have to investigate Kapell ... and if I ever want to dig into more Schönberg, give some thought. I assume the Boulez/Schönberg is a repacking of these two (of which Vol. I is OOP and expansive): http://www.amazon.de/Pierre-Boulez-Edition-Schönberg-I/dp/B002N2NDY8/ http://www.amazon.de/Pierre-Boulez-Edition-Schönberg-II/dp/B002N2NDYS/ Readable back-covers: Would those have contained texts?

more upcoming Sony/BMG sets: http://www.amazon.de/Colin-Davis-Conducts-Sibelius/dp/B00AK3X33I/ http://www.amazon.de/Yo-Yo-Plays-Concertos-Sonatas-Suites/dp/B00AK3X306/ http://www.amazon.de/Evgeny-Kissin-Plays-Chopin/dp/B00AK3X3LK/ http://www.amazon.de/Isaac-Stern-Plays-Mozart/dp/B00AL6SN5W/ http://www.amazon.de/Pinchas-Zukerman-Beethoven-Violin-Sonatas/dp/B00AL6SMX0/

I guess just about everything that came to mind has been mentioned ... took me a while to dig "Tanya" btw! One more that I love (the CD version, which I think is a bit longer?): Miles Davis - Circle in the Round Also some of Miles' 1960 tour tracks run for a while ... "All Blues" from Zurich (the recent TCB disc is terrific, as I already mentioned twice or thrice) is a favourite track of mine. About Prestige ... there's some great funky stuff on those two dates Red Garland led with Trane and Byrd - I love it! Same goes for much of Ammons' jam material. Same goes, btw, for plenty of JATP material, which some may find bullshit (which others, including me, will then call bullshit in return).

I got an email from DMG about a few copies of a Paul Dunmall/FMR 49 CD + 1 DVD set!!! Well, let's hope the per-disc-price is somewhat below the NYAQ set ...
