Bumping this up... got the two World's Greatest Jazz Concert discs recently (two different concerts recorded in 1947). Of course the title of the discs is pure hyperbole, but there's some fine music on both. What else would you expect with all those involved: Wild Bill Davison, Muggsy Spanier, George Brunies, Albert Nicholas, Joe Sullivan, Art Hodes, Pops Foster, Baby Dodds, Bertha "Chippie" Hill, Hot Lips Page, Danny Barker a.o. (#1), and Muggsy Spanier, Johnny Windhurst, Sidney Bechet, Bob Wilber, Jack Teagarden, George Brunies, Dick Wellstood, Baby Dodds a.o. (#2). But gee, what happens on "Basin Street Blues"? Teagarden is leading off, and Johnny Windhurst is trying to find his place more or less successfully (and contributing a good solo later), but the rhythm section... what the hell are they doing? (It's Hank Duncan-p, Cyrus St. Clair-tuba and Ed Phife-d) - they seem ride on a different train/beat or be in another, non-adjacent room!

Yes indeed. Chico Hamilton, too! I guess if these are indeed selling as well as seems to be the case, as our beloved voice of dissent has said, they'll just keep putting out their catalogue in this form. Suits me well as I only have a couple of dozen or so items yet... (I dimly remember some Soul Note/Black Saint discussion in the huge funny rat-thread some years back - but I've never really followed all the recommmendations from there).

Missed how this ended... what happened with the Stitt? I got one with a damaged booklet (the front page cut off, instead the beginning of the liners are glued in on a b/w photocopied piece of paper - good enough for me, but hey...)

So he gots paid for what? Doing nothing? Seems that even the annoying Wynetone and NoJo street team emails have stopped dropping in every other month... would wish it were different and we'd see some good reissues and some new productions that could actually be dubbed "jazz" (or #BAM or whatever).

Wasn't the 'Quintessence' session on the Quincy Jones previously issued on CD domestically? A Yusef Lateef Impulse box would be an absolute killer of a set. Top of my list ! True indeed! Forgot about that one! But I guess Hip-O would object (and send an MP3 in place).

r.i.p. Ben Gazzara

and create an additional slot somewhere in the oh-so-boutique package (hey, I like them alright!) to store the actual cd... or throw that into a garbage can (maybe the one on which's bottom someone once composed "ce soir en Tunisie")

Got to really check out Lloyd Miller... there's a Jef Gilson connection which makes for some intriguing music, such as this: Also, welcome to this site, hope you'll stick around, have recently found your blog and since been enjoying it a lot!

Yes, good idea indeed!

Yeah, but then too much has been out already and Mosaic never (to my knowledge) was allowed the use of any Impulse material so far.

The issue was previously discussed in some Hip-O or specific Getz-Hip-O thread... they included the live version of "Flamingo" (from the Shrine live album) instead of the studio version, which was included on "Stan Getz & The Cool Sounds". To make up, they are offering an MP3 of the studio version on the website (still there, last time I looked).

Have missed the Japanese reissue of "1984"! The "Pep's"... wasn't it originally just one LP and then later on a 2LP set with more? A few cuts of that were added to the GRP disc of "Live at Pep's" and the remainder then reissued as a digipack in the Master Series as Vol. 2? Never quite had a closer look - but the music is among Lateef's finest, and it's always a pleasure to hear Richard Williams play!

Teefski! Sure! I've heard three of his not-yet-on-CD Impulse albums ("1984", "Around the World" and "A Flat, G Flat and C") - would love to see any of those in the new series! The Pep's material is among his very best and has been taken care of on two fine CDs, the okay "The Golden Flute" and the mighty fine "Psychicemotus" (who can remember and correctly spell that title? I sure can, any day, early morning or late night!) have been part of the LPR/Originals series. Somehow I have a hunch these new series would take three (at least) discs to release the three "missing" albums though, they seem to be experts in re-re-re-re-reissuing one album and pair it with (more or less) a rarity.

Y'all know I complained before, so I hand you these . °.¨ : . variably sized grains of salt first Seriously: the man on the street doesn't always want to read all that street-team crap that often says very little about the music but very much about the mind-set of the propaganda folks in charge of selling it... so yes, having some meaningful excerpts would indeed be a fine idea!

There are just 2 bonus tracks (12 & 13) on that album, and both are present on my copy? Mine is missing the two tracks, too, as mentioned earlier in the thread. I have not bothered trying to get a replacement. I'll probably end up tracking down a friend who has a copy of the album with the tracks, and get a BLATANTLY ILLEGAL COPY from him. And it will feel oh-so-good. I'll sing a jaunty little song as I rip the thing. Maybe I'll even tape it. At double speed. I'm sorry about missleading you yesterday - I actually checked it out and you are right, the 2 tracks are missing from the CD. I have no idea how I missed it when I heard that CD for the first time? Mine is an European pressing, perhaps the US pressings have the missing tracks? That post is rather confusing... the US versions have the missing tracks, the Euro versions have the missing tracks... so which ones have the missing tracks? All of them, it seems

look here:

Happy Birthday, Colin!

A world without Willie Smith? Hell no!!!

There are a few other threads about Django box sets... and most recently one on the new JSP. Seems all the JSPs together cover almost the entire discography (as do the three Frémeaux boxes that compile the earlier 20 volumes of 2CD sets). As I have the Frémeaux, I can't really answer, but maybe a search for previous thread brings some answers? Here's the most recent thread:

Very interesting post, epistrophy - thanks!

r.i.p.

Into CD3 by now and mightily impressed with Chu Berry's spots!

I got my Edmond Hall/James P. Johnson/Sidney de Paris/Vic Dickenson CD set from them - excellent service, though shipping was quite steep, I think.

Lionel Hampton (CD1)

What's the rap on this one? Got it several months on me and it kept growing - rather syrupy settings, Hawk mostly sticking to themes and embellishments, but hey!
