And try running some anti-malware stuff, too... Malwarebytes' Anti Malware is what I have... also got this after I'd been attacked (by one of these make-believe anti-virus things that stops your virus-programme from running - that was a nuisance!)

There's a whole run of these twofers coming from Universal over here... so far, word has been out on these: Albert Ayler - Love Cry / The Last Album Art Blakey - Jazz Messengers!!!!! / A Jazz Message Alice Coltrane - Universal Consciousness / Lord Of Lords Duke Ellington - Meets Coleman Hawkins / And John Coltrane Coleman Hawkins - Today And Now / Desafinado Milt Jackson - Statements / Jazz 'n' Samba Ahmad Jamal - Poinciana Revisited / Freeflight Elvin Jones - Illumination! / Dear John C. Sonny Rollins - On Impulse! / There Will Never Be Another You Pharoah Sanders - Village Of The Pharoahs / Wisdom Through Music Shirley Scott Trio - For Members Only / Great Scott!! Archie Shepp - For Losers / Kwanza Gabor Szabo - The Sorcerer / More Sorcery McCoy Tyner Trio - Inception / Reaching Fourth Too many contain one recently reissued album, alas, combining it with a rarer one (Shepp, Coltrane, Rollins) The Ayler is silly... would have made sense in this case to combine "The Last Album" with the companion album... also "Love Cry" had some fine bonus tracks that will be missing here for time (and "original album" crappity) reasons.

Yes, best wishes from me, too!

Interesting, thanks! Looking forward to hear those transfers, Mike!

Happy Birthday, Bertrand!

Thanks a lot for sharing that, Lazaro! Much appreciated! (Got to wait till I'm on my own computer to watch the video, alas - but thanks for that, too, niko!)

Enjoy Hans! A mighty fine disc!

I don't buy many DVDs, but amazon UK has some good offers that I now and then go for: The Jean-Pierre Melville Collection Prices tend to go up and down quite some... there's a Chabrol box that went for under 10£, also a Rohmer box was very cheap once. Worth watching if you're interested, and with some patience you might get some good deals. I also got some "artificial eye" DVDs for very good prices (the Tarkovsky Companion, the Vigo Collection, and some single editions) - I haven't been able to see a pattern with regard to the prices going up and down, but it seems sometimes they also sell of last copies of a whole bunch of stuff cheaply (the Tarkovsky set - this one here - has gone OOP and expensive now).

I don't have my discographies with me, but I don't understand why you're asking this in the Flip Phillips thread then... it's not Flip on your version then, and there's no Tjader on the Esposito session with Flip (or the whole Flip Mosaic)... your basic question was to try and find out if your single version is the one with Flip from the Mosaic, I gather? And who's Claude Gilroy? Never even heard his name! Just found your old thread which has prompted this all... Fascinating!

What mikeweil said above perfectly echoes my initial reaction to reading your opening post. I wish you all the best, Shawn! And I hope you'll get things settled and will be back very soon!

Of course not... I was just kind of bemused by Sangrey's (and some others) posts in the thread on the new Woody Allen flick... I thought you were talking about "art", not Woody Allen movies. don't hack on a non-native's choice of words, please... i meant arts, culture, music, literature, painting, religion, whatever... Not hacking on you, just at Woody Allen movies. Ok, but his films are part of what may be called "cultural practises" or some such... and I guess those could be looked at as escapist in general... or as evolutionary sensible (same with religion, btw)... either way, I'm on the run (gotta watch a commie film about Cuba... escaping from drab daily life )

I know - and would prefer that, too!

gongs?

I'm thinking if there's a difference between consuming arts as escapism and (pretending) not to.

the advanced search function has never really worked anyway... better go the google route, put in "[search terms] site:organissimo.org" and ye shall find what yer seeking.

Hmm -- Grappelli on piano also shows up as "Unique piano session - Paris 1955" Sounds like a bit of a novelty act frankly, so I will refrain from purchasing Improvisations for the third time. But still good to know. Probably not a deal-breaker but neither of these newer releases have the three bonus tracks which are on the JiP CD. Forgot to mention the lack of bonus tracks, yes... got the "Improvisations" Heritage Series (or whatever that series was called again) from the bins one day, and the piano music is fun but totally inessential.

You can buy "Improvisations" a third time, too... this edition here adds a ten inch trio album with Grappelli on piano ("Piano à Gogo" with Guy Pedersen and "Mac Kac" Reilles).

Not entirely sure, but perhaps the Grappelli Sextet is also new to the JiP series. There are a few Oscar Peterson/Grappelli collaborations but as quartets not a sextet. I'll definitely take a closer look when Dusty Groove gets this in stock. The Grappelli was out as "The Nearness of You", the one-off that appeared a while after the original JiP series had stopped! Oh, that's the one that took me forever to track down. They never did get it at DG, and I finally ordered it from Amazon.fr. Yes, I remember! For me, amazon.fr is usually the very best source to get these anyway! The new Collector's disc sell at 8€ a pop... with VAT deducted, I just ordered the Louiss, Simmons and Nathan Davis for €20.04, meaning it's 4 cent over the minimal sum to get free shipping!

in a nutshell, the second batch (#31-40) of the Collector's Edition seems to be: Art Blakey - Olympia Concert (#69) Art Simmons Quartet (#61 + 8 new tracks) Barney Wilen - Jazz sur Seine (#26) Blue Stars - Pardon My English (#19, adding the Blue Stars EP from #94, but omitting the Henri Salvador-EP from #19) Eddy Louiss - Orgue (new) Memphis Slim / Willie Dixon aux Trois Mailletz (#36) Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'echafaud (#3) Nathan Davis - Rules of Freedom (new) Stephane Grappelli et son sextette (#113) Zoot Sims & Henri Renaud - Night Session in Paris (#1-4 from #25 and the afore-mentioned Ducretet-Thomson album from the "Americans Swinging in Paris" series) the first batch was: Art Blakey - Paris Jam Session (#40) Bernard Peiffer - Piano Et Rythmes (#93 - titled "Plays Standards") Bill Coleman - From Boogie to Funk (#7) Bobby Jaspar - Modern Jazz au Club Saint Germain (#27) Chet Baker - And His Quintet with Bobby Jaspar (from the Barclay sessions - various editions) Django Reinhardt - The Great Artistry of Django Reinhardt (#91 - titled "Nuages") Donald Byrd - Byrd In Paris (#4) Donald Byrd - Parisian Thoroughfare (#5) Elek Bacsik - Guitar Conceptions (#15) Guy Lafitte - Blue and Sentimental (#24) Jazz At The Philharmonic - Les Tricheurs (#50 - partly on "Jazz et cinéma vol. 2", including some never before released tracks) Jean-Luc Ponty - Jazz Long Playing (#43) Lionel Hampton - And His French New Sound Vol. 1 (#45 - Vol. 2) Lionel Hampton - And His French New Sound Vol. 2 (#44 - Vol. 1) Lucky Thompson - Modern Jazz Group (#28) Maurice Meunier - And His Orchestra (half of #54 - Clarinettes à Saint-Germain-des-Prés) Max Roach - Parisian Sketches (#96 - also part of the Max Roach Mosaic) Michel Legrand - Paris Jazz Piano (#32) Multi Interprètes - Jazz Boom N°1 (new) Pierre Michelot - Round About a Bass (#29) Quincy Jones - I Dig Dancers (new - includes a few cuts Mosaic missed when they compiled their Q-box) René Thomas - And His Orchestra (#16) René Urtreger - Joue Bud Powell (#67) Ronnell Bright - The Ronnell Bright Trio (half of #61 - titled "Piano aux Champs Elysées") Sarah Vaughan - Sarah Vaughan à Paris (#83 - titled "Vaughan & Violins", new version adds four alternates) Slide Hampton - Exodus (#10) Sonny Criss - Mr Blues Pour Flirter (#23, adding most but not all of Criss' tracks from #55, "Saint Germain-des-Prés") Stéphane Grappelli - Django (#87) Toots Thielemans - Blues Pour Flirter (#17) Willie Smith - Willie The Lion Smith (#64 - titled "Music On My Mind")

Addition/correction to Zoot/Renaud: The Ducretet-Thomson album as linked above, with seven tracks (here) ist just MP3... the CD version has eleven tracks, adding the Zoot/Renaud date (#1-4) from the old JiP disc (here) - the new CD version is thus this one: Again: #1-4 have been on JiP #25 #5-11 represent the Ducretet-Thomson album previously out in the "Americans Swinging in Paris" series.

Not entirely sure, but perhaps the Grappelli Sextet is also new to the JiP series. There are a few Oscar Peterson/Grappelli collaborations but as quartets not a sextet. I'll definitely take a closer look when Dusty Groove gets this in stock. The Grappelli was out as "The Nearness of You", the one-off that appeared a while after the original JiP series had stopped! That's weird... and unlikely. EMI owns the material that was on the "Americans Swinging in Paris" series, while the whole JiP material comes from Universal's vaults. Got to check this... The new one: http://www.amazon.fr/Zoot-Sims-Henri-Renaud-Orchestre/dp/B0045R749O/ The cover says "Ducretet-Thomson"... and that's indeed the one that was out as "The Brother" in the Americans Swinging in Paris series (here: http://www.amazon.fr/Zoot-Sims-Americans-Swinging-Digipack/dp/B000065BSD/) The old JiP one, for reference: http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B000051TKK/ That is super weird! I was always assuming Ducretet-Thomson recordings belong to the EMI ownings... maybe brownie knows more? If the JiP crew has access there, what else could they bring to the fore that has not appeared in the Americans Swinging in Paris series?

Interesting, didn't notice about the additional material on the Simmons yet (but didn't do a track-by-track comparison of the latest batch yet).

Thanks guys! I checked for some history on the site but didn't find the page linked above... so AM is just one piece of the whole thing... didn't want to derail this thread, but I guess some GHB releases would fit in here as well, and that "Marie La Veau" is easily recommended in my book!
