  1. guess you'd better get the RCA box now, Bentsy... or else you'll roast in hell
  2. From what you hear, BYG has always been a rather shady affair in general. Too bad... I'd really love to see some reissues, but I guess the big reissues days have indeed come to an end a while ago, anyway. Would have loved to see more of the Free America series, too!
  3. Happy Birthday, David!
  4. Best wishes to Mr. Jarman!
  5. It may have been one of the moderators who did that that would of been kind of a lame thing to do, though...
  6. Yes! "Scorpio" is a fantastic album! Would love to get a reissue of that one! The only vinyl I could have bought so far was so battered I left it behind... (and it's a boot anyway, so...)
  7. That one ranks among my favorite Rivers albums!
  8. How about the Cooke compared to the earlier 4CD set? I guess I'll keep it at that (plus "Keep Movin' On").

    Not definitive, but a little research suggests it might be Talib Kibwe (T.K. Blue). Mike Fitzgerald lists his name as Talib Qadir Kibwe here: http://www.jazzdiscography.com/fitzgera/muslim.htm That was my thought, too... would be good to really know!
  10. Got mine from amazon.fr yesterday - but handed it over to my li'l sis', still sealed... will get it again when this commercial thingie is celebrated, ya know... the guy who came a second time a few years later and did all those great tricks The music is a rag-bag indeed... got much of it on various more or less cheaply made compilations (UK RCA ones mostly, I think). Some of it - the solo album, for instance - is sublime!
  11. I just was at the Bimhuis to catch Henry Threadgill and Zooid - very nice club! http://bimhuis.nl/home
  12. First impression (Ella disc 1) is good. But I need to listen again when I can crank it up some...
  13. It's back on "last chance" now... not sure about it, I've had mine for many years, but it might be worth a try to send them a mail and ask! As for the discussions about favorites... I don't have the Roulette Studio alas, love the Roulette Live a lot, although I find I listen to it all too rarely. Anyway, the Clef/Verve material is essential in its own way, I feel. The dance sessions are among the very finest NT Basie, and Gus Johnson's drumming is superior (except in showmanship) to Sonny Payne's. But yeah, maybe all in all, the Roulette sessions are a bit more exciting (for instance, "April in Paris" was always more solid, rather than great, in my book), but I wouldn't want to miss the Clef/Verve recordings!
  14. Hum, I wonder... got my Ella set today - haven't inspected it too closely yet. It's still in stock at amazon.fr: http://www.amazon.fr/Complete-Masters-1935-1955-14-CD/dp/B005NNJKF0/
  15. What I was hinting at are the Alan Grant radio broadcasts... I do assume there's some overlap? Haven't ever seen that Lonehill set you mention. Wynton Kelly Trio with Wes Montgomery New York City (USA), Half Note Wynton Kelly - piano Paul Chambers (CD1), Larry Ridley (CD2) - bass Jimmy Cobb - drums Wes Montgomery - guitar (CD1#4-6, CD2#5-7) September 24, 1965 [43:53] 1. Introduction by Alan Grant > Blues Blues (12:39) 2. Old Folks (6:08) [poss. on Xanadu 198, "Blue on Purpose"] 3. Milestones (5:58) [poss. on Xanadu 198, "Blue on Purpose"] 4. Laura (6:58) 5. Cariba (8:39) 6. Alan Grant talk > Blues (Bb) (3:28) [w/Alan Grant voiceover/outro] November 12, 1965 [42:50] 1. Introduction by Alan Grant (0:52) 2. Blue and Boogie (11:48) 3. If You Could See Me Now (7:37) 4. There Is No Greater Love (7:07) 5. Birk's Works (5:50) 6. Four on Six (8:14) 7. Announcements with band outro (1:20) Source: WABC-FM "Portraits in Jazz", host: Alan Grant I wonder, what are the trio tracks on that Lonehill set? Were have they been released before? #4-6 might be from the first Grant set?
  16. I only recently discovered "Steal Away" and love it. Great to get more of this duo!
  17. I tried this, but if you remove the zeros, media player once again puts the information while playing the music. Maybe I didn't do it like you mentioned, but I believe I did. Okay, but why would anyone remove the zeros? That would seem like cheating to me...
  18. Miles Davis - The Complete On the Corner Sessions into disc 2 now... trying to figure out the how the boots (three volumes of "unknown sessions" and some more) fit in... anyone ever tried to figure out? Losin isn't that complete here... and the box gives little info, too.
  19. Lost in translation, I guess... sorry!
  20. Sorry, but I'm astonished! Go get it then, no matter if the vinyl (sure looks fine to me!) or the CD!
  21. No idea about more RVG recordings, but more radio captured tracks are around...
  22. posted in the DVD thread by mistake: Dylan's Tell Tale Signs 3CD version for 40€ - not *that* cheap but still a whole lot cheaper than what I got it for: http://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/Bob-Dylan-Tell-Tale-Signs-The-Bootleg-Series-Vol-8-Limited-Edition/hnum/2844175
  23. ooops, got the wrong thread anyway...
