Got my box today... looks okay, although the booklet starts out much better (more cover pics) than it ends... I guess there's plenty of errors in the info (the line-up for the Hakim/Jordan LP is totally freaked, for one - the Hakim line-up for the first half of the album is nowhere mentioned at all). And there's plenty of tape flutter in Lowe's "Satan in High Heels"... not nice! I wonder if that's on the Collectables edition, too? Got to check. As for the criticism voiced above regarding Dial, Everest and other label's material being used: it was used by Charlie Parker Records in the first place - there's no use in blaming Membran for including it in this box. It would, though, be interesting to know more about how it came that Charlie Parker Records put out those sides from Tampa, Dial, Savoy (which was based on radio broadcasts anyway... so maybe it was "out there" before Savoy put it out, before Savoy acquired rights, if they ever did, about which I know nothing), whatever... Also, what's Egmont? http://www.discogs.com/label/Egmont

Yes

I guess a Select of the Shaw Argos would be wonderful (albeit short)... but they don't really make the cut for Jonathan. And since Universal has their Hip-o-select label, they might just as well put them onto a 2CD set. Won't happen, I'm sure, but would be nice!

"Think!" Guess I'll have to hunt for some Shaw vinyl some day... got the dusty CD (and have heard "Carnival Sketches", too). But I'm in the Mingus camp, too... "East Coasting" is among my favorites for many reasons, several of them coming from Shaw!

to be released on Frog?

Don't you have any photos allowing you to blackmail him to take you with him... Allen Lowe feat. Marc Ribot - Really the Blues (bare bottom spanking included in price of admission)

Jazzland http://www.jazzland.at/e_index.htm great club, you can eat before the concert, too - spent a great night there listening to Sheila Jordan with the Fritz Pauer trio, doing two sets and a short third, after which I chatted with Ms Jordan for a second Porgy & Bess http://www.porgy.at/e-index.html more high-brow, I guess (wasn't there though) Joe Zawinul's Birdland seems to have closed... didn't take note of that before. Where the Porgy's is, there's also a small CD shop, Rote Laterne, where org-member soulpope was working back when I was in Vienna (July 2007, ages ago... Red Octopus was still open, the second volume of Erich Kleinschuster's 2CD set was out right when I was there).

The complete Bimhuis Rivers Tuba Trio material might be a swell thing, indeed!

Happy Birthday, Conrad!

Had no time yet to check, but ripping both versions onto the hard disk would make it fairly easy to find out. Also, apologies for the crappy English and typos in the above post - was changing around sentences once too many and didn't double check before posting.

ooops, I only now read the title... "our entire catalogue"... gee, this is tempting!

I haven't seen it either. I thought doing this kindle thing would allow for full-text searching?

sheee-it, this is expensive... but tempting, nevertheless! would be cool though to know just a little bit more about its contents *before* committing oneself! will this contain the complete (plus bonus) recorded works of ICP and related projects?

Not facebook, the one in post #42!

The poll linked to above gives me: DL: 4 4CD: 6 6CD: 52

Checking that link more closely and comparing with my CDs - it seems all of the tracks from the first two sessions that according to the link only found on the Mosaic, are on "Air" (Candid CCD79046) - except for take 5 of "Air", which remains exclusive to the Mosaic set, if I'm correct. That, again according to the site linked above, is just a labelling error - take 5 was a false start, the track labelled take 5 on CCD97034 ("Cell Walk for Celeste") and is identical to take 6 (hence either CCD97034 has takes 4 and 6, and the later is also on CCD79013, "Jumpin' Punkins"). So that leaves one cut ("Air" take 5, from Oct 12) missing from, and one track ("Jumpink Punkins" take 6, once mis-labelled as take 5) duplicated on the Candid CDs.

Best way to find that one is on the French 'America' label LP release - which is how I got my copy. An original on the Charles Mingus label though would be a pretty mythical beast, I suspect. Or look for Prestige P-24092 - Portrait, a 2LP that also includes Town Hall Concert and has liner notes by Jaki Byard. Thanks, wasn't even awre of these reissues!

Latently blatant? Or blaringly so?

to some these cataracts can get quite... orgasmic - but wait, that's not my mom! get well soon, Chuck!

What's that, her year of birth? She kinda looks like a cyborg anyway

Huh? Will the wife drive you there then, once you've hopped in?

Best way to find that one is on the French 'America' label LP release - which is how I got my copy. An original on the Charles Mingus label though would be a pretty mythical beast, I suspect. I've once spotted one in Paris (but it wasn't for sale) Will have to look for this in case it really won't be included (which, with all due respect, would be a silly call in my opinion).

Those DL certificates rarely work for me... What I'd be most interested to know though: is "My Favorite Quintet", the LP itself, planned to be included? Never, ever, saw that one around - it's one of the Mingus LPs I've never heard (I think the only official one besides the late Hampton date).

not sure if this is 100% correct (please let me know about goofs and mistakes!) - but I put this together many years ago:Mingus Candid.doc Taylor is somewhat more messy/complicated as there's multiple takes and the Candid discs don't always give take numbers. I gave up sorting that out, but this here should answer most questions: http://bb10k.com/Cecil_Taylor/CTcandid.html
