Oh, thanks a lot for finding and quoting that! The usual half-baked job then... having new stuff in there is great, but duplicating the Scandinavia set and including fewer tracks than previously issued of that other set is moronic, to put it mildly... still, it's of interest to me as I have only got one Storyville CD of Pops, other than the Scandinavia box.

I quite enjoyed the bits from the Bechet that I've heard so far... true, my ears are lacking - and the comparison I've got is the crappy Membran 10CD set (got the Mosaics as well but haven't yet compared with them).

Fairly old news... but I can't remember where on the board it has already been discussed. Lon: are you sure it's all been out before? I tried to compare tracklistings from allmusic with one for the new box and couldn't quite piece it together.

How many novembers will come and go before we see any Horo release? (Answer: innumerably many... unless of course you believe in some kind of end time religion such as Christianity)

Serious question: what's "this month's"? January, February? Merikins are always ahead of the pack... will look for it but got to know roughly when to look

The West Wind omits "Lover Man" and "Ismaa"! KD is on "A Night in Tunisia" (KD, Fuller, Mann, Ball, Tucker, Bailey, Mantilla), but not on "Halley's Comet" (Al & Zoot w/Ball, Tucker, Bailey). Me, I'm still confused about the "other" (?) existing LP(s?)... Chris Connor? Where are her tracks to be found? Any legitimate release? Another West Wind boot? And how many different LPs were there ever made from these dates?

Oh, thanks for helping my lousy memory, Chuck!

guess that story I remember was about another concert at the 1986 (or 1987) Mt. Fuji Blue Note festival... some recorings have shown up over on dime years ago. Must have been a comment there? Or a comment in the Moncur Select's booklet, maybe?

That's the concert where the wind blew off the arrangements from the music stands of they fellows, right?

I know the copy I have of that Vol. 2 is a first pressing (bought directly from Prestige as soon as it was released). It looks like yours. No real deepgroove, cover photo is slightly darker. Dead wax includes VanGelder stamp plus the following indications NJLP 8288 (A/B) and PRLP 7294 (A/B). allow this learning neophyte a question: isn't that a deepgroove right there in the small black "ring"? well, "ring"... the area between the inner yellow circle and the LONG PLAYING MICROGROOVE yellow area at the bottom...

Tammi Terrell... the Hip-O 2CD set is wonderful!

Interesting! I only recently discovered these two albums - got the Fresh Sound CDs of both of them. Easiest way to get the music - but of course I'd love to have some original vinyl, hence my question about the weird LP yesterday!

Okay thanks! Good to know I needn't go back to the store and grab another duplicate

Okay - weird... found this entry from Paris Jazz Corner: http://www.parisjazzcorner.com/en/dis_fiche.php?ArtNum=38127&LANGUE=uk Which suggests it's from the 50s. Clueless about it, myself, which is why I'm asking. So this here's the original Jazztone cover: correct?

question... didn't buy this one: "The Big Challenge" Never saw the cover before (got the Fresh Sound CD)... is this the original cover? Or are there various editions with this cover? Should I walk not run to grab it?

I'm okay, sure!

Since I'm rather sure it's an original 1956 pressing now: Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book Love the music, great to have the LP as well now!

Oh, wow, that's sad! Caught her live a few years back, short but sweet concert... r.i.p.

just found this and am spinning side 1 (of 6) right now: I *so* love Fred Astaire!!!

Forgot to mention his great collaborations with Stan Getz!

Oh no, this is sad news! He was on so many great albums, played in so many great bands, from Mulligan's quartet and sextet the CJB, the Giuffre 3, the Jones-Lewis Orchestra. Love his playing! r.i.p. and thank you so much for all the great music

No one would really know which one to give to me... or care to find out either. I will however get the Phil Spector box and the Nina Simone RCA albums box... both upon my own wish

r.i.p.

Guess I won't be the one to tell you... found what I might have needed them for has to be finished too soon to get and read them in time. But if anyone has some insight about either of the books, I'd still be interested! Fox' book has appeared in various editions over the years - but then that needn't be a good sign, necessarily.
