nothing on Braxton and Douglas yet, but if you check the Taylor listing on the CAM Jazz site, you can see the note that the albums are also part of the 5CD box (the link is yet a dead end though): http://www.camoriginalsoundtracks.com/site/index.php?site=&path=artist&idartist=6726

Have you actually seen any of these? I got acceptable offers for both the Peterson (Duos) and Ella (in Hollywood) sets, and seing them I kind of understood why they're priced in such a big league. They're nicely presented, in a 45 single format with booklet and all. I guess that manner of presentation has it's price!

Probably has some connection to the Weber/Winckelmann split up. Each of them got one volume for his label. Don't have the discs with me, though. As far as I know, the LP cover of Vol. 2 (Enja 3077) had a small "Volume 2" printed below the album's title. On CD we've got "Mingus in Europe Vol. 1" and "Mingus in Europe", which should allow folks to notice the difference, after all...

Great news, Chuck!

Don't have it at hand to check, but did you look at the back of the booklet (producer's note or something like that?) - usually they're quite accurate to note such mistakes, same as on other Blue Note discs, where there are notes about "phasing cymbals" etc...

Now: Cecil McBee - Compassion

Yup, have those 3 LPs of the Amsterdam set - good sound there! The Bremen, if it's the "usual" source (Ingo, 3 LPs) should sound quite a bit worse, but maybe they found a better source?

Spinning my new vinyls... and before: Also, is an 80s LP of Booby's "Total Eclipse" worth around 15€ or so?

Thanks a lot! So my hunch that all the trumpet players are heard was correct - much appreciated! I hope sidewinder sees this before he starts his expedition

bought today: with performances by Jaki Byard, Dave Samuels, Bill Frisell, Steve Lacy (all solo), the Carla Bley Band doing "8 1/2", a suite by Muhal Richard Abrams, Sharon Freeman etc, a David Amram quintet track, as well as a William Fischer-conducted medley feat. Wynton & Branford Marsalis, George Adams a.o. the later cost some, the others were all fairly cheap!

The Amsterdam also has Coles. Beats me why they have to dub this as Mingus/Dophy Quintet/Sextet. http://www.onttonen.info/mingus/1964.html

would be much appreciated if you could check!

Anyone? Do the original liner notes contain the info I'm looking for? They're not included with the CD!

Gee, reminds me I still got a half bottle of Glenlivet at my parents'!!! Happy birthday, Chuck - and thanks for all the great music you produced!

In an ideal world, everybody would love everybody. (I think) nah, total harmony is the end of it all...

Does anyone have soloists listings for this date? I'd be most interested in identifying the trumpet soloists (the trumpet section consisted of Donald Byrd, Ray Copeland, Idrees Sulieman and Bill Hardman - quite a trumpet section!), but I also wonder about the 'bone players: all solos by Cleveland, or does Frank Rehak (or even Melba Liston) have a spot, too? And the alto sax? They're Sahib Shihab and Bill Graham... who'd be the lead player? I have the Bethlehem 2CD reissue (John Coltrane - The Bethlehem years) that combines the Blakey Big Band album and the Pettiford part of "Winner's Circle" on disc 1 and contains a second disc with a ton of outtakes from the big band session(s). The CD contains new liners (how new I don't know) by Art Lange (best known for longish and boringish liners on hatOLOGY discs) that weren't proof-read and contain some embarassing fluffs (Griffin instead of Mobe on "Tenor Conclave"...) Would be happy about any additional information!

Yeah, in an ideal world, everybody would love Hank Mobley (and Lucky Thompson... and Pres!)

Yeah, I guess I need a fact-check or some such... the world can be such a drab place.

and he knows how to drop down from palm trees...

"Poetry" is mighty fine!

yup - scheduled for late May it seems is: hatOLOGY 679 Vienna Art Orchestra A Notion In Perpetual Motion I'll have to get that one. Recently bought "Tango from Obango" (but as a single LP - seems there's a 2CD or 3CD set of that?) Their discography is actually pretty big: http://www.vao.at/v2/display.php?id=61

It was part of this 3CD set: (the other discs are a ballad album with various guest singers, and a "serious" composition album by Rüegg, which I think I played but once or twice) No leads as to where to find the Dolphy disc, alas.

Love the Dolphy disc, like quite a lot most of what I heard by the VAO! The Satie disc (Minimalism of Erik Satie, Hat Hut) is excellent! Most of their stuff is OOP alas (more than a dozen albums on what I think was/is a Universal Austria sub, Amadeo or something like that).

The owls are not what they seem...
