put in a pre-order with amazon.fr: https://www.amazon.fr/Movin-Complete-Verve-Studio-Recordings/dp/B005CAAUGM/

yowsah! great spotting, thanks! just ordered it... with the euro worth sh*t in my rich scumbags' country (hey, at least Polanski didn't get arrested again!), it's really quite a deal!

I seem to have totally forgotten about this thread... no pm sent to Big Beat Steve back then - but bringing it back up since I found that RCA LP myself. Looks pretty great! Does the third Bechet 2LP set contain the ENTIRE Panassié sessions? Or is there any other COMPLETE release of them? I've found the first Bechet 2LP set (and could have picked up a second copy since) in very good (vinylingo says NM- or some such, I guess), but haven't had any luck on the second and third LP sets yet... so in the meantime, the RCA LP will suit me just fine!

Love Budd Johnson! Not so sure about that Terry album though, to be honest. Favorites are many... the Quincy and Gil Evans sides, the late recordings with Charlie Shavers that brownie mentioned, then there's a great Basie jam with him and Jaws (who really has to be on guard there!) The two Riversides are fine, too - I think I prefer the one with brother Keg over the trumpet galore one: There's some fine Johnson (and lots of fine music) on this twofer by Claude Hopkins, too: Then there's this fine one from Black & Blue (with great soprano!):

Went on with this one... into CD4 by now - great! Blargh ... yet another set on my 'bypass' list that I now feel an insatiable urge to own. Returning for a second round... won't finish it today, I think, but I'm about to finish disc 3 now - amazing stuff! As Zan Stewart says in his notes, some other excellent, even outstanding stuff (the sessions w/Bud, the Cobblestones, some of the stuff w/Jug) notwithstanding, this group of records may be the very best chunk of Stitt's huge oeuvre! And that says me, who generally prefers Stitt on tenor...

Thanks. It probably is the same performance, although INGO of course provides only the sketchiest details (operating in that manner requires, let us say, a certain amount of reticence Just trust the folks here... and the research done by all the Trane experts. There's just ONE full live version of "A Love Supreme" and it's from Antibes/Juan-les-Pins and included in pretty good sound on the 2CD reissue of "A Love Supreme" (which is an essential reissue anyway, if only for the studio outtakes!)

That sounds cool, thanks! (Sorry for taking some time to reply, forgot to check back in here earlier.) And thanks Larry for the news from Jonathan. Got to put in an order for that disc somewhere, soon!

Don't miss the Herman Single from Mosaic! It's from just after the Philips material in the Select and nearly as smokin'!

Happy Birthday, Ronald! :party:

Me too... "Crisis" is GREAT, the other two are GOOD. And there was more recorded from where "Crisis" came from, it seems (same with "Town Hall") - though to my knowledge, none of that is "in circulation". Would love to see it all reissued and expanded!

What's that? Where's it been out before? Would be cool, of course!

brownie, what's that CT - this one here? (Entry #11 here) Don't think I've ever heard it, but looks great! Here's a cover (for a Mingus boot), think they all look similar: link in case it won't show:

Not sure... but I still hope it'll be included. Other than the short blurb it looks like nothing much has been updated on the amazon page. Also, there's post #10 in this thread, where Jonathan Horwich states the following:

Played the whole Tolliver yesterday - very good one! A bit on the short side, though... they could have easily looked for a fourth session to include (guess there wasn't any fitting with the concept of "Big Band" and the time frame of the 70s?) Will there be a third Tolliver Select with "Compassion", "Live in Berlin at the Quasimodo" (and bonus material) and some? Would be cool! Anyway, now playing disc 1 of: The Blue Note Stanley Turrentine Quintet/Sextet Studio Sessions - disc one holds "Comin' Your Way", the only album I already have (in its vinyl configuration, thus missing "Just in Time" and an alternate take).

Ordered from amazon.fr... best price I found - but there it's only released in a week!

picked up my package at the post office first thing this morning - Turrentine, Hampton, Benedetti/Parker and this one, which I'm into disc 2 now:

so I guess this is the one in question? very cool cover!

And Victor Feldman is the other (other than Eddie Costa, that is) piano/vibes doubler that is equally proficient on both instruments (he was also a drummer, of course).

I know I did... sort of my own version of "Booby"

Bags is also on piano, of course, on Barney Wilen's great "Jazz sur Seine"!

my "default" beer these days is czech and great:

yeah, and more Lacy and some Mal Waldron, too!

Yeah, the torrent title made me think of scatology several times... as for Pops:

"Mingus in Wonderland" is ever-amazing! It was both Handy's and Booger's recording debut, wasn't it? That long, fast blues with their exchanges is amazing!

Is that white or black magic?
