Interesting, wasn't aware of all this, thanks! Got around two dozen ECM LPs at least, but I think they're all European pressings.

Yes, Woods' head was photoshopped onto a pic of Freddie Mercury's.

Thanks, just threw it in with some other stuff I was ordering from amazon.fr anyway! Will get the disc from Mike/Reel, I guess. Always like to support the source if there is that option!

The DVD that came with Vol.1 was region-free (and NTSC unfortunately, to my eyes PAL is better) and I think it's very likely this one will be too. And one track, Walkin', included in the Complete Columbia Album Collection was excised for undoubtedly no good reason. I read somewhere something to do with the Carpenter estate, a person only credited with composing the song in question? Still pisses off. a dick is a dick is a dick ... ?

Floyd Standifer (who was that guy anyway? I've heard his name before, a name you'll never forget!) and Benny Bailey aren't bad either ... but what the hell's the problem with Shihab? Must be the flute ... glad though he's not mixing up with the chorus boys at the back! Also, as far as shoes go, the alto sax sections winds hands down!

yep, that's just what crossed my mind, too! great photo!

I like it, but you'll need opinions from Soft specialists, I guess ... don't know how it compares to the wealth of other live releases around.

Only catching up with this right now ... Reel has the disc for 20 Can$ until end of January (instead of 22) it seems. The book can be obtained from amazon, too - is it worth getting, anyone had a thorough look at it or even read it in the meantime? The disc looks terrific! I'm a big fan of Reel Recordings and own the entire catalogue (hurry and grab the Elton Dean Ninesense set, it's still around on various amazon sites and from marketplace vendors!) and gave away a few of their releases as gifts to friends, too! I did send Mike my orders and wishes for the freebies, and he was very kindly providing me with what I wanted, since I had ordered his entire catalogue ... I'm thinking of ordering two of the new discs and getting another give away in addition. That offer has been running for at least a year or so, seems to be a constant thing.

Was there ever an RVG of that? Only of "Meet You at ...", wasn't there?

Doesn't look like, but the info from amazon.de doesn't make sense in all cases (the Konitz disc would be what, 20 minutes?), there must be some more in that new box. Let's wait until further details turn up!

what's this all about, distributors?

Who cares, all that will be extinguished soon - learn mandarin, urdu, hindi, arabic ... that's the future But seriously, thanks for bumping this thread, will have to order this one, too!

That's the date the computer spat out when asked: "when will The Beatles be entirely forgotten?"

Remember even according to the new EU regulations anything recorded and first released prior to late 1961 remains in the P.D. in Europe and even by U.S. standards anything recorded prior to early 1943 (currently) is P.D. in the U.S. (70 years!). And even a 1943 cutoff date covers quite a lot of those "Chronogical" platters. In short, most of the swing era definitely has gone P.D. by now. I know ... I was just having a joke on forum rule # something (which I do understand, but it continues to lead to absurd situations).

(it's bootlegs, so no links please)

Yeah, I know you're new ... forgot about the disgusting Hitler stuff, but I generally prefer to see older threads revived rather than having multiple threads on the same topic. I do use this site as kind of an archive every now and so often, and the more threads you have on one topic, the more difficult it gets to locate any information. But anyway, it's no biggie

Sorry, but I kind of don't get the point why this thread goes on when there's another one with lots of discussion. Might just be me though ...

It's a nice one. They could have added another album (Cohn's "Mr. Music", but then it has only Newman and not Green). While there's some sameness, there's plenty of nice stuff going on, mainly by Cohn and Newman of course, but trombonists Frank Rehak and Urbie Green have their spots, too, and Henry Coker (on the Green album only, alas) made my head turn several times ... also Gene Quill on Cohn's "Jazz Workshop" album, which closes the set (and I think is it's highlight). Not essential stuff by any stretch, not even very good all the way through - but enjoyable, Basie-inspired, swinging small group jazz.

Yes indeed!

Yes, I enjoy some of it very much. I think Roulette Basie is overall a bit more to my liking, but the early sessions with Quinichette are mighty enjoyable and the band with Gus Johnson might have been the best edition of the NT band ever ... so, yes indeed! But the eight CDs do have some sameness and I'd probablly not want to listen to it all in one day.

(I'm glad to help with questions regarding amazon.de - drop me a pm)

disc one, but I guess I'll just go right through it all!

I'm playing my Cohn/Newman/Green right now ... also had to get the Pendulum on top of that, was good on the rest. The Ellington single is nice, but I still wouldn't want to miss the expanded edition of the actual concert as a companion! Oh, and as usual I even posted in the that announced to the world that the Basie Verve box was running low, so everything's okay

Okay, the pre-order price of € 40.- includes shipping in Europe and is good until the end of January only! Will get me one before then! For those reading German, there's also this book that's just been published: there's a preview on amazon - link
