It doesn't seem to have too many friends here - but I know that brownie and me, we both like it a lot! Just be aware that a few cuts that turned up later on from the "I Dig Dancers" album were missed by Mosaic. They're currently available on the reissue that's part of the Jazz in Paris Collector's Edition.

I agree very much with this sentiment!

Sad news. I like what little I've heard of Ferrara's... some with Konitz, Mulligan. Allen (and anyone else interested): there's some fascinating and interesting discussion of that "school" of trumpet players (Joseph, Ferrara, Fruscella) in the Tony Fruscella thread.

I'll need it, too... although the bonus as so often is wasted... it was already on this fine Fantasy twofer: (how did it end up there, after all?)

for typographical reasons? also because this might have come out in a time when he was a bigger selling point than Bird or Diz?

The Brownie date can be found on a CD, paired with the Gil Evans material (but about a third of that album is missing - which is a drag since the music would have easily fit in, but it seems Evans wasn't involved in one of the three dates).

constipated Jesus!

received today already halfway in - lovely stuff! Given the discussion elsewhere, that's pretty good mail service. Ordered Feb 1 from Toronto, arrived in Zurich on the 10th... And I'm delighted you're enjoying it. I've had a couple of buyers come back to me for another copy -- they want to get a copy for a friend. Now THAT'S a trend I have to encourage. Yes, that was pretty fast, indeed! And yes, I think I'd know at least one friend who'd enjoy a copy, too...

Coltrane with Bert Kaempfert (felt creative tonight...)

received today already halfway in - lovely stuff!

would you please put the Shepp aside for me? PM coming!

In case the pics above disappear one day... the other two Pyramids albums I forgot to add the titles are "King of Kings" and "Birth / Speed / Merging 1976". Played the Gene Ludwig 45 that's on sale at Big-O-Records with the final Ludwig album (coming on CD). Weird one... but enjoyable! Now playing Helen Humes - Helen (Muse) - very good one, with Buddy Tate, Joe Wilder and Norman Simmons!

Got "Jobim" and finally a real copy of "Elis & Tom" in today... a few days ago also got "A Certain Mr. Jobim" - beautiful, but way too short! One that begs to be repeated after 25 minutes!

Just finished my first spin - very, very nice disc! Will put the 45 on now!

I'm not sure, but I think a claim could only apply to their use of cover art and to US distributors. Anyway, lots of them are rip-offs of the most blatant kind, but some (Al Cohn for instance) contain some stuff that I've never seen around here. They're good for filling some gaps now and then, that's how I look at it.

Just delivered! Thanks, that was fast! Will check out both the 45 and the CD later today!

I've got an alto MMO LP - I think it's by Konitz - got it in a long since closed vinyl store as a freebie and haven't held it in my hands for I guess 10 years... got to hunt for it! It has Konitz soloing with the rhythm section on one side and just the rhythm backings on the other. With it, there's a booklet with transcriptions of Konitz' solo, as far as I remember... no idea where it is right now.

Got the CDs today as well, John! Thanks a lot!

the new arrivals.... yesterday: The Complete Helen Merrill on Mercury today: The Pyramids - Lalibela scheduled for tomorrow The Pyramids - The Pyramids -

You weren't the only one (I'm running this at the same time on a German forum) - and to me, it happens each time that I fail to recognize something I have... and of course there's no reason to expect two cuts from the same album! Thanks Ronald! Glad you enjoyed it!

I love late Pepper, but have the "box set syndrome" concerning his Galaxy albums... can't say anything about the original albums as I got to know this all in bulk, but as has been mentioned, all highly consistent, and in my book, all very good to great!

Yes, I just got the second and third of the Brubecks to fill some gaps... got half of it on Legacy CDs, and actually got enough Brubeck anyway, so these were good value, after all. Also got the Tubby Hayes because of one Tubby album on it that I didn't have elsewhere (the rest is mostly Jazz Couriers material).
