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

I am still trying to find that CD for an acceptable price. Does it even exist? Sorry I couldn't help back then ... all those shops are now closed But yes, it does exist!

what a great photo! too bad McGriff is cut off!

Oh, I didn't even notice that! But I think these "discothèque idéale" boxes are of French origin generally and it's not even on amazon.fr yet .... the site with most information is amazon.de and it has a release date of February 8, 2013: http://www.amazon.de/Vogue-Jazz-20-Albums-Originaux/dp/B0087PI57K

Well, it's not out yet, so it might indeed be rather troublesome to already find it I'll have to wait and see and hear about packing first ... only the Bechet material I don't have. Can't quite figure out which sessions might be contained, but I've got a pair of LPs of French material and the Jazz in Paris disc and I guess that's quite enough of French Bechet for me. Also have the great album with Solal of course ... but it seems that one's not among those mentioned.

I guess this one deserves it's own thread! Detailed contents can be found here: http://www.discogs.com/Various-Long-Story-Short/release/4170007 Trost is offering a subscription price of 40€ through February (not sure if "shipping included" applies to all orders, just sent them a mail myself, inquiring about details), later the set will be 45€ plus shipping. http://www.trost.at/news/

That has happened before several times ... I guess they stumble over another few dozen copies of a box they assume had sold out and just put it back up for a moment. I stroke lucky with the Herman Capitol box that way. Though I really wish the Art Hodes and the Commodores and the studio Roulette Basie would turn up again

Has the Basie Verve (#223) been on the "last chance" list for longtime? Hadn't noticed (or already forgotten again since I've long owned it). Also right now the Tolliver and Onzy Matthews Selects show up on both lists. Got my Newman/Cohn/Green and Pendulum Selects last week, so I'm safe for the moment.
