Is this the guy from Dukoff mouthpieces? (Never tried one though... and never heard any his music, either.)

I still have the 5LP box with the Savoy studio material - it's how I first heard it and I won't give it away! The funniest take is that false start that's really just one or two notes of bass...

ah well... the "Stepping Stones" LP is a bit large to be squeezed (squozen?) in there... but then with the missing track being on the bonus disc, it's superfluous. I'd still love to see a 2CD edition for those who have the Mosaic and all the other material.

Thanks a lot! That's about an hour of new music... not sure if I really have to buy all of it again, but it DOES look tempting!

Thanks for the scan!

Hm, doesn't sound too great... as I have the Mosaic and both the CD and LP of "Setting Stones", I'm really only interested in the unreleased Vanguard material. Would you be so kind and post some details about it?

Ordered it today... but seems it might take a while (went with amazon).

There's an entry on that one on the Marion Brown Discography that suggests the one Ornette track (Side 3 Track 4, "Trouble in East", 6:39) is indeed the same as was released on "Crisis". That's the most I can seem to find online...

What;s "The Complete Chicago Disc"? This one here: http://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Live-at-Pershing-Hotel/dp/B00005K3SF Contains more than was on CD4 of the Savoy live box (which is essential for what's on CD1-3... CD4 has some of the Chicago/Pershin material plus the Diz/Bird Carnegie Hall set that's also on that Blue Note CD that again is essential because it contains the Dizzy Big Band set from Carnegie Hall, while that Bird/Diz set is marred somewhat by Bill Harris' lacklustre drumming...) And before you or anybody else asks, this here's the Carnegie disc: http://www.amazon.com/Bird-Carnegie-Hall-Charlie-Parker/dp/B000005H9I What;s "The Complete Chicago Disc"? Looks like this is it: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Pershing-Club-Charlie-Parker/dp/B00008HAU7 There's an Amazon seller who's offering it new for $9.95 + $2.98 s/h. & I agree, George Freeman is great--sounds ahead of his time. That's the Spanish rip-off, of (I assume) the one pictured above (which is on Ember). Freeman... yeah, a visitor from another planet! Saturn, I guess

some covers: never saw any of these

previous thread:

It was an LP featuring Sonny Rollins - I don't remember which - and the liner notes were by Ira Gitler. Guy Sonny Rollins Plus Four I'd love to see a scan of that! Had the OJCCD but gave it away when I got the box and have missed that fun taxonomy there!

Sorry, didn't want to be disrespectful... just posting from work, wasn't even sure I got his name right. But these Ember sets sure look nice! There are two 2CD sets (one of which would have easily fitted onto one CD, timings on the tray card are totally off - hope that's not just my copy but a general error there!), then the amazing Chicago 1950, and finally the Birdland 1950/51 4CD set. Some great Bird between these! And I think Bregman wrote the notes and comments. btw, brownie, it's indeed Bregman, not Bergman!

They should have called it "Rick's a Dick" or something...

I'm not saying that... I just want to mention that it might. Another example: the Lonehill release of the Miles Amsterdam concert runs a half step wrong, too, btw... (guess the old Celluloid did already). I don't know either if the Fat Boy/Ember or what it's called (the 4CD set pictured above) runs at correct speed, but it does seem that this guy Bregman (?) who was involved with the Ember discs, was some kind of Parker authority... (he also helped putting out the complete Chicago disc with the amazing Freeman guitar!)

How do you get it? I went to that website and don't see any ordering info or prices. (They may be there but I didn't see them.) There are Paypal-buttons here: http://www.jazzedit.org/contacttb.html Haven't tried yet, though...

Have that one, too! With material of this provenance I don't see why that would be a problem. This kind: - they notoriously don't care... often they don't even wait long enough (after grabbing stuff from dime) to be able to offer better quality sources that turn up after a recording is thrown into the "pond". The first form I had this material in were two Cicala LPs... dreadful quality, but it was ear-opening stuff for the teenager I was back then! Here's the cover of the second volume (the first, I think, is identical but with pink or violet instead of yellow): I also heard the live material by Miles' tuba band on such an LP... and have a Dodo Marmarosa, too.

Got the Don Byas "Savoy Jam Party" 2LP set today One the cases where the CD (using the same cover) omitted several (seven, I think) tracks. Great to have this one!

Can't Mosaic just do a complete Panassié set and we all be happy? @BBS: sorry then, didn't want to come across harshly!

It's been a while, but I enjoyed the Uptown album with Woods! I see two albums with that title and different tracklists - can someone explain ... I'd be interested in that, too! Got the one pictured on the right (Japanese CD in my case) and it's good!

Bechet is on the LP1 of that twofer (side 1 and half of side 2), these are the New Orleans Feetwarmers sessions of October 1941 (with Chazlie Shavers) and December 1943 (with Vic Dickenson). The remaining material is from the Panassié sessions (no Bechet on those). So the Bechet parts of the Panassié sessions are on the second twofer (Vol.3/4), then? Or even at the end of Vol.1/2? Got to check this out... still would love to see a complete Panassié discography (or someone just give leaders and dates and I'll look things up myself)!

Again, there are only THREE volumes of 2LP sets in the Jazz Tribune series! Vol. 5 just indicates LP #5, the first and second 2LP sets are called Vol.1/2 and Vol.3/4, respectively, the third then is Vol.5/Panassié. This is the RCA LP I got: And this here's the B&W: Hm... is Bechet on all dates or isn't he? Don't have my files with me... got to check again tonight. That disc is just MP3, yes? (Not that it matters... sound restoration is a much bigger issue with such old music, if it's properly compressed/encoded to MP3, I wouldn't really assume that I could tell the difference...) http://www.jazzedit.org/Traveling-blues.html Guess I should get this while it's around...

No idea, but's it's one of the many Spanish boot/grey market labels... that might be all you want to know.

Wow, that's a good offer! Just recently got both this and the Ella in Japan (same sort of packaging) in disgusting local stores for rather good prizes, too, but that beats it slightly! Haven't started listening yet, but the packages look very nice!

Just had a listen - the sound Oliver Nelson gets from only four horns is amazing! Johnson's solos are enthusiastic - the themes are typical for a broadway show and a little superficial, but what these guys make out of it is very good music. Yes, that's about my opinion... nice soloing, good writing, lacklustre (to put it midly) material. Will dig it out, soon, too!
