I'm with Chuck here... stood away from the Brookmeyer 2CD set for years, hoping someday the "real" thing would be available! Would be great to have a good reissue of these "Interpretations" albums, finally!

It was a one-off in a local store... they just had some boxes they were selling for good prices, including that one! I put these boxes on the top of my book shelves... Mosaics, Fantasy longboxes etc... height isn't an issue up there.

I like their packaging. Got the Oscar Peterson and Ella sets for a good price but haven't actually played them so far, just had a look and spun a few tracks. But I do agree on the price... stuff like their Motown and James Brown singles look great though. If I could afford that, I'd be all over them! And this Dinah W. set looks great! I've got the "Swingin' Miss D" VEE CD reissue and grew to like it quite a bit (it combines several Mercury sessions - probably partial sessions - with the one Keynote session).

I'll take "The General" please... but no model trains for me... would have to cut down my CD expenses, I'm afraid... and no interest whatsoever, not even as a child.

I spot one on my shelves on a daily basis

Rolf, my sincerest condolences. Very sorry to hear this. I wish you and yours much strength in these sad times.

Would love to be there! Will you attend, brownie?

Wow, great! Thanks a lot! Will search at home later on if I can find any guitar player with a similar name...

My website is rising from sickness and disease again end of next week. With your permission, I'll include this. I've redone my page a bit but it won't be reachable until the countdown ends. Sure, but honestly I can't quite guarantee it's accurate... I'd be happy to double check it once more before you put anything up!

I'd love to hear that Chicago performance w/Dizzy and Machito, but my inquiries so far haven't led to any results... (Richard Davis was indeed there, at least for the solo/duos/quartet set w/Randy, Griffin and Blakey). Will definitely look for the new Weston disc - haven't heard anything bad from him so far! (Haven't heard Destry yet... guess that one's the most likely candidate)

What? British schools taught that Reagan's was the evil empire?

Bibi Andersson Harriet Andersson Liv Ullmann

Bibi Blocksberg Vicke Viking Pipi Långstrump (Mosley is quite big here, isn't he? )

Playing discs 5-7 of the Amos Milburn now - love it! Sure, I will most likely take it in small doses in the future (and I'll want to listen while reading up the sessions one day, too... just read the introductory essay so far).

Thanks a lot for checking! Much appreciated! The show DID happen, at least that I do know... (aural evidence )

I don't listen to that one enough. Bought it just before it went OOP. bought it last Friday, got it on Wednesday and have played four of seven discs already - new record, for sure!

Hm, on one of the early sessions (1947-10-27 to be exact), it says "poss. Gene Phillips", and it's him on the 1949-02-28 date. Then Chuck Norris (1949-07-13), then Johnny Brown (1949-1950), Gene Phillips again (1950-05-18), Norris again (1950-09-21), then another unknown band (1951-04-18), then Wayne Bennett or Johnny Moore, respectively (1952), Mickey Baker or Tom Mitchell or Norris or Jack Marshall, respectively (1954), and for the final sessions (1955-57) there are Harold Grant, Irving Ashby, Tiny Mitchell, Justin Adams, Al Hendrickson and Bob Bain. The sessions with no line-ups are from 1946-48 (plus the one 1951 one mentioned already).

Bumping up this old thread... found a new copy of this, discs still sealed, popped it open yesterday, after the postman brought it, and am playing disc 2 by now. Very nice! I wonder, who might this guitar player (or these guitar players) on the early session (A to I) be? The only identified band member there is Maxwell Davis (ts and Milburn's main partner in crime for many years). Are there any educated guesses to be found about the guitar player(s) anywhere? There's lots of good playing to be heard! Also, I assume that Willie Smith turning up on tenor on later sessions (alongside Don Wilkerson!), he isn't the alto player famous from Lunceford, Ellington, Harry James etc?

Cracked open my new Amos Milburn Aladdin set - disc 1 right now!
