If only amazon marketplace wouldn't ask such insane amounts of $$ for shipping! Why can't they make the costs for the second, third etc. discs that are part of the SAME order just 1.5$ more, instead of the full effing amount again? It's ridiculous to order five discs for less than 10$ but the total order sum is somewhere around 50$!

Are those couw's ECM designs? Or AfricaBrass'? Both are missed here! I disagree with most of the others... the types used are so much mor accidental and uglier than ECM's! Not that I'm a huge fan of ECM's design, but 99% of their covers do achieve a clarity that is rare. Even with covers I don't like it's usually like - no denying that!

I've not yet been able to completely find and sort out all the Tadd boots, I've got at least three of those Boris Rose LPs around... all mighty fine music! There's indeed an aircheck (or maybe even two?) from the Royal Roost with the "Big Ten" with Miles in the band. I think Leonard Hawkins was the other trumpet player who's been documented as part of the band. Too bad Fantasy only documented the tracks with Fats! And even worse they don't give exact recording dates. This stuff is a mess, as some of the tunes (The Squirrel, Tadd Walk...) turn up on every other date.

Sad news - way too young indeed!

Except he and everyone else here forgot this one, which to me is THE essential Dameron set to have (or the essential one besides "Fontainebleau" and the Clifford Brown "Memorial Album" and the various live sets from Fantasy and Boris Rose...)

Yep, found it: That doesn't of course mean it isn't Amy on "Soulin'"...

Amy is, I think, on that unreleased session included on the Capitol best of - will have to play "Soulin'" again though, it's been a while and I don't remember how the tenor there sounded...

Have a copy on the way now, thanks for the alert!

I do know... but forgot which album it was as I gave aways the OJCCDs once I got the Prestige box.

From the liners of which album is this again? Chewy and his crappy thread-titles... "Tenor Madness" or "Plus Four"?

Gee, I loved that one, but have sold off the single CD a long time ago and didn't think to make a photocopy...

Thanks for the reminder - I read about it somewhere... just sent an email!

Bright Moments! Bright Moments!

Hey I just love Eddie's stuff - nothing wrong with that I hope!

I'd have loved a huge Eddie Harris set, too! Probably 15ish? Also Roland Kirk, of course! Would have been a great companion to the Mercury box, but having all the 32Jazz discs and some more on Rhino is cool as well!

BTW, the Ornette box set on Rhino/Atlantic is fabulously done also, sort of along the same lines as the Coltrane box set. Yep, the Mingus too. [...] Yup, all three great boxes! But with the Ornette, the booklet might eventually fall apart...

That box was my very first box set and has remained a favourite... no sound issues as far as my admittedly bad ears can tell...

The true "Duke of Dubuque", I guess Nice site!

Good luck! I got one off Ebay recently - worth looking for, definitely!

Whenever you're ready to reply, I'll be listening

Yes, it was the strong reaction that made me react in the first place... So you'd recommend looking for the Dixon discs like they came out earlier... which ones are the ones to absolutely check out?

gone and on their way to me :-) sorry for not posting here...

I haven't even gotten an shipping notification from grooves yet - not that I'm worried, but they're shipping from the country I live in, so a parcel should take maximum two days... I ordered on March 26, probably they couldn't handle all our orders. Btw, I'd be all for a Ran Blake - and I don't quite see why adding three angry smilies is necessary if you don't like his music...

Happy Birthday, Allen! :party:

Wouldn't a Bill Dixon set be really, really cool? 9 CDs, and I have none of them so far
