in case anyone wonders why I'm posting this: seems the box was pulled by the heirs or some such, price for new copies (if available at all) are high, and the music is excellent ... carpe diem!

Let me repeat this here - I'm not the seller, but if anyone's interested, let me know today (I'll be at the office for around 6 hours from now and could drop by the shop on the way home, afterwards, it'll be in two weeks time and obviously I can't guarantee the box is still there ... can't do so for tonight either, but the odds are good): If anyone is still looking for "Singular Genius" and prepared to pay 60 Swiss Franks (64 US$ or 50€) plus shipping*, let me know by writing a PM tonight or tomorrow (by latest at noon US time) and I'll grab the copy that's at the shop where I got mine! *) shipping estimate ... just weighed mine plus some old amazon box and it's around 500 grams, which makes a big price difference, I'm afraid - rates are: to 500 g / Europe: CHF 15.50 (economy) or 20 (priority) / overseas: CHF 18 (eco) or 26 (prio) over 500 g / Europe: CHF 18.50 (eco) or 26 (prio) / overseas: CHF 24 (eco) or 36 (prio) I can do my best to pack it that it's below 500g but can't really promise anything ... but I guess it gets to expensive for US anyway. And in my experience economy shipping within Europe is fine (takes ca. 2 weeks usually) - I'm quite sure these rates are up to date. Compared to the few new copies up on amazon, that's quite okay a price, I think (not sure it will be sealed, CDs often aren'tt over here, but I can of course check and get it only in case it's in perfect shape - I will not guarantee that it arrives in such, though, but I will do my best to pack it nicely, though that will probably mean it goes over 500g., adding some bubbly stuff etc.). I'd take a Mosaic or amazon gift certificate in ways of payment. So, if anyone's interested, let me know! (can make it to that shop tomorrow, if not, only in two weeks again - but I guess chances are that it will still be there by then - not sure where they got another one from anyway)

I went through the ordering process with a fake Credit card # just so I wouldn't get charged before I saw the shipping charge. $15.00 to Canada; too high, nearly doubles the cost. Will wait for a better deal. I suspect it will be even higher to Europe and elsewhere. Tried the same but was told to enter a valid credit card # ... 15$ I guess would be okay for overseas shipping, but if it gets even higher, it's kind of ridiculous, we're talking a paperback book, right?

Well, any solo Derek Bailey fits the bill perfectly well for me - not just the late-career standards album "Ballads" (which is beautiful!) but also discs like "Domestic and Public Pieces" or "Aida". Also some of his duets, like the wonderful one with Joëlle Léandre on Potlatch. But then Derek Bailey isn't free jazz ... but who the hell gives a damn anyway, he was great and absolutely one of a kind.

eat dat chickin!

If anyone is still looking for "Singular Genius" and prepared to pay 60 Swiss Franks (64 US$ or 50€) plus shipping*, let me know by writing a PM tonight or tomorrow (by latest at noon US time) and I'll grab the copy that's at the shop where I got mine! *) shipping estimate ... just weighed mine plus some old amazon box and it's around 500 grams, which makes a big price difference, I'm afraid - rates are: to 500 g / Europe: CHF 15.50 (economy) or 20 (priority) / overseas: CHF 18 (eco) or 26 (prio) over 500 g / Europe: CHF 18.50 (eco) or 26 (prio) / overseas: CHF 24 (eco) or 36 (prio) I can do my best to pack it that it's below 500g but can't really promise anything ... but I guess it gets to expensive for US anyway.

disc five - the "Oh Yeah!" session - love it!

Intriguing! Had no idea Sulieman played saxophone, too!

Has Joe Harriott been mentioned? "Free Form", "Abstract", "Southern Horizons" ... they all fit the bill for me. Some may find it quirky, though...

Toronto 70 (still totally clueless here, but thanks for the invite, GA!)

okay, will see then...

as far as Coltrane goes, I think my favourite - if I understand the original poster correctly - would be "Sun Ship" - some of the starkest beauty to be heard in music (but that's purely subjective, of course)

very good, will definitely order! shipping is 3$ no matter where to?

I quote that lovely poetic piece from above: "Still, he's old man went to Cambridge..." (sorry, couldn't resist )

Cheers on that! (And on the rest of the post and your other posts here, too!) As for Lieb w/Miles, there's also the Montreux set, officially released though only in the huge (but worthwhile) 20CD box.

Elmo Hope?

Posted a little review (in german) of the great Elina Duni concert here: http://ubus-notizen.blogspot.ch/2012/11/elina-duni-im-moods-zurich-20-november.html

Elina Duni and her great little band (Colin Vallon, Patrice Moret and Norbert Pfammatter) - wonderful concert!

Very sorry to hear, though it was expected after the recent bad news. Will play some of his music again later on.

Okay, thanks! Will hand my faulty set over to someone and wanted to make sure!

No. They'd need to pay for a translation and they don't pay for unnecessary things Seriously: we all speak engrish of some kind and major label releases should be identical (except for some of the small print, I guess). Vol. 1 only has english notes.

I just went through like ... four pages up here (w/40 posts a page, in case) and couldn't find the info on exactly which discs of the Murray box were faulty - "Ming", it seems, "New Life", and I think there was a third? Was it "Hope Scope"?

Love Chapin, will get this!

So what are the room rates in Aubrey Plaza?
