Figured that out... the same two cuts ("A Night in Tunisia" and "Laker's Day") are also on the Proper set - but it seems he also appeared on a third cut ("Jazz at the Flamingo") released on Tempo TAP 5, as well as on a fourth unreleased cut ("I Want to Be Happy"). Now why is "Jazz at the Flamingo" not included? Because them bootleggers just copy what the others have dug out already? This one's more confusing... the two tracks on the Flamingo/Futurenoise set are "Beryl's Bounce" and "Odd Man Out". The first is part of the Crombie session from 1958-06-18 (which yielded five titles, another five were done 1958-07-23, including one featuring Tubby on vibes with just the rhythm section). However, "Odd Man Out" is nowhere to be found... but the 3CD set says it's from the June 18 date as well. Weird. Did they dig up a rarity here? And what about the rest of that Crombie album ("Tony Crombie and His Men") - crappy stuff, or why wouldn't they have included more of it on the 3CD set?

just a CDR - unwilling to shelve out 20£ for a used disc... And I'm afraid while I like it, it doesn't grab me as much as some of the Fontanas.

Gee, I did cave in and got the Flamingo 3CD set - the price was right... spinning it now, those Tony Kinsey sides are indeed rather on the easy side, but nice. I've got some Jazz Couriers two or three times now, but still miss other stuff by them... the Avid 2CD set will fill another gap (and triplicate or quadruplicate some). Is there a GOOD discography somewhere? Also on Crombie and Kinsey? What's up with those two tracks each from Crombie/Ronnie Scott "Jazz at the Flamingo" (Ember EMB 3337) and "Tony Crombie and His Men" (Columbia 33SX1119) that are on the Flamingo set? Are those the only cuts of these two albums that Tubbs is on, or that he solos on? Or else why wouldn't they have included the rest, there's plenty of space left on the discs! Also, more unreleased music has come out, it seems... not just the "Lament" disc pictured above (haven't got it yet), but also these: and a similar looking one by Ronnie Scott: Can anyone comment on these two? I do realise the Scott is off-topic here, but they're both on Candid and from Les Tompkins archives (or so they say) hence I though I'd ask about it here as well. There's so much Tubby around, I'm really at a loss where to continue... got the Propoer set, the Flammingo set, "The First and Last Words" and "Some of My Best Friends are Blues" by the Jazz Couriers, "Down in the Village" and "Late Spot at Scott's" as well as the five Fontanas I needed (skipped the one with Moody and Kirk, got that in the Rahsaam box). Also got "Addictive Tendencies" most recently... So, what else do I need?

Thank you for all the music! r.i.p.

But now... am I still allowed to enjoy the music of Elvis (one of my big discoveries of this year) - or do I automatically turn into a lie then... and even worse, get a member of the SS? (Will they find that I signed entry papers in 1933, even though I was born a mere 46 years later?)

I'll gladly take the download, Jeff!

You might be thinking about this one: The liner notes give the date as November 2, 1949, but the actual date (as asserted by a poster on the old BNBB) was February 11, 1949 (2/11/49 rather than 11/2/49, in American parlance). No, I thought there was one release with a date given that must be some years off... could it still be the London recording? Coleman Hawkins died in May 1969 and I read somewhere that his final recording stem from 1966! Ah yes, mystery solved... the London set is from November 26, 1966, it seems. So says the (german) book on Hawkins by Teddy Doering (one of these Oreos "Collection Jazz" books subtitled "Sein Leben - Seine Musik - Seine Schallplatten", in english: "his life - his music - his records"), p. 221: My own translation: "This concert recording's CD release gives March 1969 as date of recodring, hence the title of the CD is "In London 1969", which can't be correct by any means. In March 1969, Hawkins' health wasn't strong enough to allow him to go on a JATP tour through yurp, and even less strong enough to play so well. The original double LP came with correct information." So I might not have read it on the webs anywhere but right there in that book... But thanks mjzee anyway, wasn't aware of the US/euro date confusion with the 1949 set! So, it's this one that gives a wrong date:

Bumping this one... wasn't there a Pablo package that's not from the date it said? A search here didn't turn anything up, I thought it might be the "J.A.T.P. in London 1969" set? Or was it the Stockholm one (which I don't have yet)? Just dimly remember something but can't bring it together anymore...

Yep, all the best to everyone! Will have some celebration with family tonight and tomorrow night... will bring the June Christy with me

Would that be Bob Cooper providing the tenor fills and occasional solo? Anyone has any info on the line-up? Sounds like a band full of cracks!

Ok, just got mine and am 15 minutes in by now - nice!

I guess I'll get mine in time for x-mas 2012 It's been in the mail since Dec. 9 but not trace of it yet

Happy Birthday! :party:

Will definitely get it, the IoW performance is terrific! And just as Mike, I'll be happy to have it audio only, as I rarely put on DVDs... Most people seem to have remembered the Tiny Tim show and switched off when Miles came on ! There was a documentary on TV the other night showing some IOW 1970 footage (a bit of Miles) with one of the local old ladies serving tea and cucumber sandwiches to a gaggle of hippies. As a freebie too. Some fun documentation is in the Hendrix IoW film, too... similar stories... also how the small population of that island was virtually run over by the thousands and thousands of people attending these concerts (and they all had to get there with a ferry, I assume...)

Sad news - don't have any books of his, but what I've seen was always mighty good! r.i.p.

Got this one recently... it's much warmer than the "cool" noir sounds you might be looking for, but it's fine, nostalgic, recreating 40s LA, somehow (I guess that's the general idea behind Quartet West? Or at least the original one)... incorporating some music by Django/Grappelli, Jo Stafford, Chet Baker and Coleman Hawkins, as well as a short opening and closing bit from... you guessed it, "The Big Sleep", it works almost like an audio-film... very nice album!

sad news - r.i.p.

Congratulations! Time to spin the disc again, I guess...

No. The stuff on disc 4 of the #1 band set was out before (on Masters of Jazz) and it's worth the price of the set alone! It's absolutely fabulous, some magic Pres there!

50 now... waiting for the Herman Capitol... 8 Selects (Weston, Green, Brookmeyer, Amy, Williams, Tyner, 2x Hill) 1 Single (Wiley) That's scary, so many more in just 3 years... an a few hundred other discs, and a dozen or more other box sets... 69 big suckers 23 Selects 9 Singles again three more years gone by... the additional Selects mostly happened because of the great mosaic catastrophe that took place in the meantime...
