The name of the Swiss city is Montreux. And there I always thought it was Montreaul

Should turn up sooner or later... I bought the recent Storyville releases from amazon.fr most often, they offer the best prices - best just to keep watching...

Actually, I just got the "Pure Ella" CD and that one's wonderful for sure! Sorry, I forgot to bring my album ... Who dat anyway?

I guess the line-up for the concert is: Miles Davis (t,org), Bob Berg (ts,ss), Adam Holzman (synth), Robert Irving III (synth), Robben Ford (g), Felton Crews (elb), Vincent Wilburn Jr. (d), Steve Thornton (perc) Ah yes, here's Losin's entry for the (never released) Warner box: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=860720

Got the two Olympia concerts today - thanks for the recommendation, guys! (The two LaserLight cardboard packed sets, each with two regular jewel cased discs, in case anyone wonders.) As for the Impulse album... we just discussed this elsewhere today - along with "Percussion Bitter Sweet" and "Into the Hot" it was one of three projects Creed Taylor had intiated before he left to Verve/MGM, but there seems to be no actual production credit given anywhere (I only have the CD and searched the net a bit, don't have an original vinyl to check if Creed's signature is there or not). Did Blakey and/or Shorter handle this themselves? (Roach did so with his album, while Gil Evans supervised the Johnny Carisi and Cecil Taylor sessions that formed "his" album... he then followed Creed to Verve, but only in 1963 was his next album to follow, "The Individualism of Gil Evans"). Ashley Kahn gives no production details for the Blakey album btw, neither does he mention that Fuller was an extra at that time (did he join immmediately after or only after a while? When he joined for good, Morgan and Timmons were gone, replaced by Hubbard and Walton). I'd love to own a real copy of "Into the Hot" one day... got to check some stores for it!

Great deal, great set - whoever got it ! You don't happen to have any spare vinyl ones stacked away in your Alpine redoubt, do you? Alas no... the only vinyls I ever saw used (or rather: new but standing in a store for at least a decade when I bought them) are the Tina Brooks, the Art Pepper and the Buck Clayton. Other than those, even my OOP-Mosaic findings (online, mostly) were all CD sets. Right now playing the Complete 1950-55 Illinois Jacquet... wish it existed! Don't have all tracks quite yet (the chronos went through the roof, pricewise, and I already have the "Kid & The Brute" VEE twofer and the useless Quadromania 4CD set, so I went for "Jacquet à la Carte" on Ocium and the Membran reissue of "Illinois Jacquet & His Orchestra", which leaves me with a gap of "Lazy Blues", "Pastel" and "All of Me" from the Clef 1951-01-18 session's quintet part... the first of the four tracks cut, "Speedliner", closes the Quadromania - how silly! Guess they just copied some Chronos there).

Don't think I've seen this mentioned here so far... released today, it seems: Disc 1 (Remastered Album) 1. Tutu 2. Tomaas 3. Portia 4. Splatsh 5. Backyard Ritual 6. Perfect Way 7. Don't Lose Your Mind 8. Full Nelson Disc 2 (Nice 1986) 1. Opening Medley 2. New Blues 3. Maze 4. Human Nature 5. Portia 6. Splatch 7. Time After Time 8. Carnival Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe two CD edition of this 1986 album from the Jazz great, the most important album of Miles' late career. Features the remastered album and a previously unreleased performance from the Nice Festival of 1986. Warner. some more info from amazon.fr:

Guess this would belong into "recommendations"... there was a similar thread (including the years 1985-1990) which was in "reissues" but had the same subject you're asking of, really:

Storyville has announced a new 2CD set combining "Wise in Time" and "Home Run". I guess that package contains all of the music, then: WISE IN TIME HOWARD McGHEE / TEDDY EDWARDS 1. I Want To Talk About You (take-2) 2. If You Could See Me Now 3. Crescent (take-1) 4. Ruby My Dear (take-3) 5. Time Waits (take-1) 6. Relaxing At the Camarillo (take-1) 7. Reflections (take-5) 8. Blues In the Closet 9. On a Misty Night (take-4) 10. In Walked Bud (take-4) 11. Yardbird Suite (take-3) 12. Moose the Mooche (take-2) HOME RUN HOWARD McGHEE / BENNY BAILEY SEXTET - HOWARD McGHEE / TEDDY EDWARDS QUINTET 1. Get It On (take-3) 2. Nostalgia (take-1) 3. Blues For Helene (take-1) 4.

I know, of course! But then we can add Boyd Raeburn, Stan Kenton, Duane Tatro... just thought that wasn't what the thread-starter had in mind, originally! And of course the not yet mentioned George Russell!

Well, I thought from the opening post bands like Gil Evans, Jones/Lewis etc weren't "modern" enough for what you're looking for... if that's not the case, add Gerry Mulligan's Concert Jazz Band. And add the Clarke-Boland Big Band! Further worth mentioning are the various editions of Dizzy Gillespie's big bands (with the forties one being the most amazing, of course, but the 1956/57 and the 1968 ones were mighty fine as well). And big from me for the BoB of course! Also for the previously mentioned ICP Orchestra and the Italian Instabile Orchestra - those two may well be the favourites among the currently performing ones! Brötzmann's Tentet as well! And Michiel Braam's Bik Bent Braam is worth listening to as well! Then there's Barry Guy's New Orchestra (and before his London Jazz Composer's Orchestra). Further, Alexander von Schlippenbach & Globe Unity George Gruntz with "The Band" (co-founded by him and Daniel Humair as well as Flavio and Franco Ambrosetti), later known as George Gruntz' Concert Jazz Band. Then until recently, there was the Vienna Art Orchestra.

What are you missing? One of the best ever recorded jazz albums! Simple as that!

no one mentioned the Willem Breuker Kollektief yet!

Bought the new CD set yesterday - looks and sounds good to me, but I've not compared to the late 90s disc I've got (never had/heard the earlier complete edition). The disc is around so cheap, I guess it won't do much harm to get it! What's that other 2CD set with sons and fathers of Johnson? Worth getting? Anyone has an opinion on it yet? Tracklist

I don't know that record. She's great elsewhere on any number of albums IMO. Love that record - including her singing. Different strokes, I guess. Love it, too! Interesting, never looked at them that way!

Very sad news! Bad way to start the weekend, for sure... dammit!

Are you sure about the access part? I was disappointed by the Coltrane release which still has the fake applause in... which suggests that either they didn't go back to the original tapes, those tapes were lost, they used a later generation tape, or they don't have access but are another shady enterprise (operating of course anyway within the 50 years limit).

That Wes looks cool! How would ABC/Thiele have gotten involved with this? Did they license Riverside stuff for a while after Riverside had gone belly-up?

Yes, Antibes is a favourite here, too! Booger adds quite a lot to it, it has a looser, more open feeling than "Mingus Presents Mingus", which makes it rather different... quite clear why the studio album got to be the classic, but I love to have both!

So between my old post and this thread: do we agree that the four Mingus Candid discs hold the entire output? Not sure I ever compared the versions on CANDID DOLPHY with the Mingus ones (speaking of "Body and Soul (Take 2)" and "Reincarnation of a Love Bird (Take 1)" on CANDID DOLPHY and "Body And Soul (alt)" on MYSTERIOUS BLUES and "Reincarnation Of A Love Bird (tk 1)" on REINCARNATION OF A LOVE-BIRD, respectively). Other than the CANDID DOLPHY disc and this recent disc pictured above, I see no overlap between the Candid disc and with regards to your karma recommend you buy the four Candid discs instead of the new copycrap 3CD set!

Enjoying that I've helped a friend to get a mint Curtis Fuller CD-set for under 50$ - very nice one!

Thanks, halfway into reading this Opera keeps crashing (installing updates and doing stuff without asking me first)... and now as it seems to work again, of course the tune coming from my stereo is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Yes, the Bley site is wonderful! Love it!

Ok, guess I have to hunt for that CDR... maybe the timing in my list is just off by a few minutes, or the speed is different.

Well, seems I bumped up the wrong thread (a search didn't bring this one up at all). Happy Birthday, second time, Jim!
