The Milt Jackson was GRP in jewel case, wasn't it? Same for some others (See You At the Fair, Sanders' "Tauhid", Shepp's "On This Night", the Lionel Hampton, Billy Taylor's "My Fair Lady"...) some more info, using shrdlu's list - just going from my collection and from memory, it's not complete!

Found James Newton's "Paseo Del Mar" - halfway through my first listen now - the overdubbed solo piece is very fascinating!

If the stylus remains in the run out groove, then in theory, no damage will be done. However, on more than one occasion, I have seen the stylus actually exit the run out groove and begin brushing up against the record label. That is not a good thing under any circumstances. Bottom line, I'd characterize the tone arm lifter as one of those better safe than sorry devices. I've turned over every rock I can find on the internet and, while there's lots of discussion about lifters, actually finding one is like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Even if you do, the cost is outrageous: http://cgi.ebay.com/Alphason-Automatic-Tonearm-Lifter-RARE-NOS_W0QQitemZ150422640664QQcmdZViewItemQQptZTurntable_Parts_Accessories?hash=item2305e35818#ht_500wt_1182. With more and more people either getting into or getting back into vinyl, it surprises me that someone hasn't recognized this opportunity and taken advantage of it. I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Hopefully, sooner than later. If I had even a rudimentary knowledge of metal fabrication, I'd give this a go myself. Ah, I see - that makes sense then!

Reissueing the hatOLOGY titles in the same series still seems silly to me. Why don't they just get 3000 more pressed and sell them as "2010 2nd Edition" or what it says on the back covers, instead of giving them new numbers? I'm a bit pissed because I went places and spent money for several of those that will now be reissued, too... I didn't expect this to happen some years ago (was Shipp's "Multiplication Table" the first one to be duplicated with new catalogue number?) The Ayler Berlin/Stockholm will be a first legit release of live material that was part of the Ayler tree. (Or was is it in the Revenant Box, too?) On the positive side, it's very good to get "Garden" back (I never managed to find it), and also the Braxton 4CD set!

Can you explain this CD-age guy here why the run-out groove would damage the needle? I can see that it will wear it down if you let it run for an hour, but why would it do any damage?

Hat is just one label, with various series of releases (such as currently hatOLOGY and hat[NOW]art). Would love to have "Push/Pull", too! Got "Jump Up" on CD some years ago - excellent one!

Not to my knowledge; it is excellent. I paid about 4€ for the Berger Went back today after consulting someone to get Lyle Mays self-titled album (Geffen) and also got some new ones that weren't there last time: Pat Metheny Group "American Garage" (ECM), Hugh Lawson "Colour" (Soul Note), and what looks like a very nice one, James Newton's "Paseo del Mar" (India Navigation). In addition to that, I got a 180g vinyl of Ornette's "Skies of America" from amazon, delivered in a box large enough to hold a cabbage head or some such... as I was expecting a CD, I was quite astonished by the huge box! (I didn't check the details on the amazon site closely enough... this is the one I got: http://www.amazon.com/Skies-America-Ornette-Coleman/dp/B0017R5SMA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1268522279&sr=1-1 - might be out of stock now w/delivery given as 1-4 weeks... it says limited edition on a sticker on the cover)

What's New (1956-01-23) There are also a title with Bags but without Lucky there (Can't Help Lovin' That Man).

35.90$ for me (that is, 18 for the DVD-rom, 18 for shipping) - just got me one, thanks Chris!

Yes, and by including the Atlantics it would probably justify a 3CD set... and please they should NOT omit the one trio track from those sessions! I bought a cheapo Avid 2CD set just for that one!

There's a duo improvisation in the fine film about Haden (Ramblin' Man I think, by a Swiss director, discussed elsewhere on the board). It's painful to watch Jarrett... a CD might be interesting, though.

PM sent about Mingus and Getz Anniversary (had to double check if indeed Serenity is the one I already have... have kept off from buying the other one for years as I could never remember...)

How about Turrentine? -EEN or -INE?

Yeah, and all those London LPs... different covers is a long tradition anyway, but it used to be mostly (or muchly) legit stuff, distribution deals and stuff like that. Nowadays it's just crappy pirates... and some less crappy ones... after the demise of EMI, Concord, and Universal's lack of interest in reissuing a broader selection from their vaults, by now I'm mostly pro Fresh Sound and less anti-Lone Hill then I used to be... at least someone cares to release the music, after all! But there's not the slightest need for all these silly ones doing original albums with different packages, and mostly of stuff that has been in print forever!

Sorry to say, but hearing her show on NPR once will be ample proof that she's "quite full of herself", I'm afraid... not saying she's a bad singer or anything, but she tries hard to make me not like her! (Best I've heard was a radio broadcast of her Mali project live in concert.)

Well, the ABC Sessions and the date with Sammy Price seem to be complete on first sight. Thompson was only on one of the Modern Jazz Society sessions, so that is complete as well. Not sure about the Dizzy and Cleveland dates, and there were a few more cuts from the Cats Meet Chicks session, but possibly the ones included are the LT feature plus the group track (while the other tracks featured the other present horn players). Don't have the discs and discographies at hand to check, sorry. But either way, the centerpiece here are the four magnificient ABC dates!

So who else will be there tomorrow night to catch Abdullah Ibrahim in Basel? Amazing concert, wow! Deeply impressed! They played two hours and twenty minutes with no break, Ibrahim starting solo for ten minutes or so, then a trio piece, and then the horns joined in. Wonderful, wonderful music! At first it started like a celebration thing, but as they went on it got livelier, and that dude on baritone sax was terrific! The line-up was: Abdullah Ibrahim - piano Belden Bullock - bass George Gray - drums Cleave Guyton - alto sax & flute (and musical director) Keith Loftis - tenor sax Jason Marshall - baritone sax Andrae Murchinson - trombone All four horns were marvellous, Guyton doing creamy lead playing in the big tradition (they did one very Ellingtonian piece and he almost sounded like Hodges...), Loftis was terrific, robust sound, Coltrane plus more rough edges, more volume, and plenty of ideas, Marshall as mentioned blew the roof a few times, and Murchinson was mighty fine, too - very vocal sound, soft and warm, building solos like a conversation. Ibrahim obviously enjoyed it a lot, often just leaning back and listening to his band and smiling. He also has an obvious connection to Bullock, who often sought eye contact while playing. Bullock/Grey turned into a fine, fine rhythm section over the years, and I think w/horns they're even better as in trio (where they played second or rather fifth fiddle to the master, when I saw them several years ago). Ibrahim too was pretty good, thanks to the horns carrying most of the melodic and "groovy" lines, he was pretty free to just add some colours and do some here and there, which was pretty cool. But he was very mellow mostly, and I'd have enjoyed one more trio piece where he'd dig into the groove a bit more... Anyway, great, great concert!

I guess the concept in this case is just to have a spotlight on a great musician in his prime years, compiling some sessions that many won't have (because the CDs are OOP, Japanese only, rare, hard to find, whatever). Good enough for me - sort of similar to the Pres w/Basie set (which I still have to get).

Happy Birthday!

Found that Ibrahim/Ward duo album, Live at (somewhere) Vol. 1 (Ekapa 004) - there was never a Vol. 2 as is announced on the back, or was there? Great album, to be sure! Also found some cheap and clean ECM Vinyl (Metheny's "New Chautauqua", Bengt Berger's "Bitter Funeral", Gary Burton's "Dreams So Real", and Kenny Wheeler's "around 6")

I just wish they'd restore it to running a half step slow on the one side, too! Now that would be something!

found some goodies in the used CD store yesterday... James Newton - African Flower (Blue Note) Ray Bryant - All Mine... And Yours (EmArcy Japan) Kenny Burrell - Soulero (GRP) and also the OST of "Round Midnight" (not sure how rare it is, only had the Dexter Blue Note disc so far)

That's a fine choice, and mine as well... or mine would have "Black Saint" instead of the "Great Paris Concert", but I can't quite decide... three Mingus recordings are about 10% of how many I badly need!
