  1. Oh, that's sad to hear! But then i guess not even he could go on and on forever. Thanks for all the fine music!
  2. Be aware that the issues run at a wrong speed... so if you care, you better look for it in collectors' vaults, if I'm allowed to say this here.
  3. "Paragon" is a great one! And so is "Waves"! I'd love to see a Select or a big one with Rivers' Impulse sessions (haven't checked what there is, just know "Streams" and have that Trio disc pictured above). Will definitely be interested in another Rivers Mosaic!
  4. Stick-Up is among my two or three favourites by Hutcherson! And I must have mentioned "Mirror Mirror" several times, but it seems not in this thread... it's actually an MPS album, and a mighty fine one.
  5. today at the used store: Lambert, Hendricks & Ross - The Swingers
  6. ouch! same here... but at least we now know we're drama queens
  7. Sad if that is so, I love the Selects and think they were a great idea!
  8. Yeah, definitely! I held off buying Spanish and Andorran Jamal discs for many years now... didn't want to come across as the kill-joy above, just in case!
  9. Thanks for bumping this thread... played a whole lot of Air last week, as well as the recent Soul Note/Black Saint Threadgill box from CAM Jazz (including two Air and two New Air discs, Song Out of My Trees, Spirit of Nuff... Nuff, and Flutistry), as well as the two About Time discs again. "Just the Facts and Pass the Bucket" was my favourite among them all! The Nessa Air is totally fabulous, too, though, and most likely the best of the bunch of Airs that I played! Oh, and "Just the Facts..." would win just about about every "best album title" contest... now pass the..."
  10. So did he learn it from Juliette Greco or from Jeanne Moreau?
  11. with a sammmich? seriously: thanks for sharing, great story indeed!
  12. Also the Hodges 56-61 has some unissued sessions (or mostly unissued sessions). And I think some of the Pacific jazz sets may also have included some unissued or partly unissued sessions (the Chico Hamilton live, maybe?), and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis contained more from the Village Vanguard dates than was on the Solid State LPs.
  13. Hey, I didn't mention that to suggest you ought to read old posts instead of writing new ones... after all, a google search just turned up the thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1943
  14. Thanks, I have had the Nefertiti set on Revenant for some time, and was wondering if the Montmartre set was of the same classic quality. It's the same... there's only one (details in my previous post). In addition, there's one track with Albert Ayler added on the Revenant Ayler-Box.
  15. There were short silent tracks, I think, but I never heard about anything being defective! It's all there, the Revenant has 12 tracks! I think the story went something like: they had the covers printed already, but then found two more titles, and tagged them to the end of the discs with a pause track. Also I think they mixed up something about titles (though there are none given on the CD - maybe it's just AMG that has them mixed up... a search here would help, it was all discussed several years back) source: http://www.webmutations.com/ceciltaylor/1962.html
  16. Grachan Moncur Select - CD3 (again, to give the "Hipnosis" date another spin)
  17. What they said - but make sure to get the full set, with bonus tracks and all... I think around 2 hours of (mind-blowing) music!
  18. Racine Corneille Molière
  19. Buster Keaton Dolly Buster Dolly Parton
  20. Digging this set now! Yowzah, this is good! Will take me a while to read all the booklet... got set #4055, so this indeed seems to sell pretty fast!
  21. Yup, in "Walkin'" from the "Amsterdam Concert", 1957-12-08, with Barney Wilen & the René Urtreger trio.
  22. As for the "Plugged Nickel", I guess the cheaper used copies on amazon are roughly in the price range I paid for the set back then, 15 years ago... I guess everything up to 200$ is a no-brainer for such a terrific set!
  23. Dunlop not expressive? I respectfully disagree! I can see how you feel about the "routine" that settled down in Monk's music at a certain point, but the quartet with Ore/Dunlop still recorded some of my favourite Monk music!
  24. Yeah, Dunlop may be my favourite Monk drummer!
  25. Very fine indeed! I finally took out my Grachan Moncur Select tonight and had a very first listen to "Evolution" (played discs 1 & 2). Don't think Morgan adds that much, all in all, and Cranshaw is less interesting than Khan and Ridley. I think among the three McLean/Moncur/Hutcherson albums, "Destination Out" will remain my favourite - because of Roy Haynes and because of the great compositions! But it's a very close call! And of course "Some Other Stuff" is excellent, too - but pretty different in mood, more... sombre, dark. I love it! Will play it tomorrow, along with the "Hipnosis" session, which I've never heard either!
