Gotta put it on the turntable again soon! My favorite Bert comes from his Savoy sessions with J.R. Monterose ... but also from those other sides Fresh Sound put out on this one: Fresh Sound also paired him with Jerry Dodgion and Carmen Leggio for a pretty good late date, issued as "The Human Factor".

Great trombonist. r.i.p.

Yep, worth getting "Conception"! Took me years to realize I need it (even though I never got the big box, still somehow had always assumed that I'd had it all).

She still couldn't sing.

Ah yes, true! But it DID turn up in the bins after that ... and I think I made a friend buy it, too!

Just got this one, finally ... any news on further volumes, Allen? I'm only four or five tracks, but most intrigued already!

Yeah! Mikeweil kept mentioning this and I eventually bought it when I had a chance and never regretted doing so!

Yep, fine album (got the Collectables issue).

Good luck! Will jump in in a week or two as well!

I prefer Ronnie

(did Storyville ever care to fix the unlistenable Boswell Sisters set?)

Yeah, the Rivers is effin' amazin'!

Got the Ross box today ... darn customs kept it from arriving for about ten days! Had a first look at the booklet - can't seem to find who wrote all the stuff about the sonatas - anyone knows?

I thought of him each time I opened this thread ... he can swing like mo-fo if he's in the right mood and has the right guys with him (Joey Baron, Idris Muhammad), but he often just plays nicely without grabbing my attention much.

several images in the first posts have vanished, not sure if these were among them: And what's this about Monk (the Prestige album)? It says Reid Miles on the cover usually!

Very good set. Now out of print (very quickly went from released to out of print, the estate dropped its deal with Concord). . . not easy to find. Quickly? blick of a freaking eye! I missed it originally, too, but I just found a copy for $60 (including tax and shipping) on J&R! They claim it's in stock (still), so if you missed it and are kicking yourself... And it's darn great! I gave it a listen now, almost finished it in one sitting, couldn't stop (only sleep made me, somewhere into the fifth disc, past 3 a.m.)

Yes indeed! Stay well, Mr. Jarman! Thanks a lot for all the music!

Is Leo and his scrapbook referenced there, too?

Big or not, you guessed it. Sorry, I just was afraid I might have missed some box (is that some kind of disease, fear of having missed a jazz box set? )

Is everybody (Allen and J.A.W.) talking of the Sony Hot Fives and Hot Sevens set? Wasn't that big, just four discs ...

Many thanks for the additional bits of information, Ricky! Ignunt me asks though: which big 2000 Sony box?

YOWZAH! Wonderful!

All the best, Dan! :party:

No need, it seems - see post #44 above! (I've got the old edition of that geat Stadler album spread on two CDs and it's several minutes short of 80 minutes ... there were days when commercial discs couldn't hold more than 74 or later 78 or something minutes ... nowadays, they go up to 81 or 02 minutes - you can do that with CDRs, too, if you use the overburn function ... but I have no clue if that might diminish life expectancy ... I don't do much burning any more these days)
