Remember there are two Monterey sets in the box. Totally agree with you about the 1964 Monterey performance, the "Meditations on Integration" from that is epic. OTOH, the 1965 Monterey performance is a mess, and Mingus himself seems to have known that, cutting it off short. Oh, I indeed forgot about that! All I heard of that 1965 Monterey set is the track on that Malpaso 3CD-set (which actually I got for that one track).

Well, that's not HOW IT IS but HOW (I think) IT SHOULD BE. So no wonder you're not seeing it :-) Would still be useful though, I think! And it's in work on other forums.

Not replying ... tags should be displayed at the bottom of each thread and everybody ought to be able to add them (or delete/edit his/her own).

Very sorry to hear this. Lots of love for his playing!

disc one right now, but will be playing more of it tonight and tomorrow that Bailey/Nistico/Goykovich set looks great - wasn't aware of its existence at all!

Shouldn't everyone be able to add tags later on? I already wondered where they were ... they make sense if people keep adding relevant ones (and they're useless good fun when people add fun ones) whilst a thread derails ...

I'm somewhat amazed about the bashing of "Mingus at Monterey". To me, the long piece with the expanded band is prime Mingus and good enough to make me held the whole album in high esteem!

my two latest finds: damn, what a tone!

Oh, yes!

I love this 4CD set, at least the three solo discs in it!

Seems Mr Vilburn will do his new drumparts during holiday season and they're aiming for a late January release! http://www.amazon.com/Live-In-Europe-1969-Bootleg/dp/B008YCMM2A/

Found this one: http://www.goodidea.lu/en/living-decor/high-tech-luxembourg/goodidea/black-records/#0 Not made it there, maybe tomorrow, or else second week I'll be here (leaving on Friday afternoon and invited to office drinks tonight - and late work for the past two days - everything seems to close at 6:30 p.m., not very, uhm, cosmopolitan).

Belated best wishes, Rolf!

Here's the cover: I've got a Konitz disc with Mark Masters somewhere,not sure I've really listened to it yet ...

So the subletitles are gone but we still don't get tags? Quite a change ... I still fondly remember the orange days, but I will get used to it this time, too!

Art Farmer/Benny Golson and the Jazztet doing "Django" on their John Lewis album!

Can't do that as I'm not even registered there, never cared to get a feel for that place, but thanks anyway, Hans!

nook as in nucular?

On the way up, tomorrow, I'll go and hear Yusef Lateef and Archie Shepp (with Mulgrew Miller, Reggie Workman and Hamid Drake) in Ludwigshafen ... and on Monday Nov. 26, I'll be at the Philharmonie Luxembourg, listening to Grigory Sokolov (link)

Oh, that's too bad, but that's one week after my second stay ends! No gigs in Switzerland?

Belated best wishes, Jeff! :party:

Jones/Smith Inc "Lady Be Good" Teddy Wilson (w/Billie Holiday & Lester Young) "Foolin' Myself"

Will spend next week and the last week of November in Luxembourg and wonder if anyone knows of any cool places to hang, listen to some music, have drinks, whatever ... and also if anyone knows of any rekkid stores with dusty old vinyl to flip through or some of those crappy silvery thingies, new or used ... finally, is anyone actually based there and would care for an afterwork drink? (Claude, are you still around? Still based in Luxembourg? Is it true that all shops close at 6:30 p.m.?) Will be there from late on Sunday until Friday afternoon ... only planned/booked activity so far is Grigory Sokolov at the Luxembourg Philharmonic on Monday, November 26.

Sheesh, the "owner" doesn't own anything really, does he? I'm not one of the pirates or anything, but bootlegs belong to the musician or else to everyone or whatever do I know. And demanding (sorry if I misunderstand your first sentence, Mr. Marcello!) a high price (i.e. wanting to make some money out of it) is all the more sorry-assed, I'm afraid to say, even if this is a treasure. I say let's hand it to the Library of Congress or some such institution, at least it should hopefully be conserved then! Anyway, on topic: this 4LP box looks pretty tempting to me, indeed! Has anyone gotten any of the recent Mosaic vinyls, how is quality?

So, will there be a download coupon for the alternate takes?
