I don't know why a search doesn't bring up the right pages (didn't work for me either, but a google domain-search did). Here's an earlier thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=32097 And here's the Ellington corner, where I tried to link several useful threads about Ellington, including the one about the Duke Box: Addition: if you want the Fargo, I'd get the longbox 2CD version, which has an amazing and detailled booklet! Even though I got the Duke Box (which has one page of notes per disc), I kept the Fargo set because of all the documentation!

Seems to be Danish if the info on CDUniverse is correct: The Hilversum session is something different, it seems:

Devendra Banhart!

Ah, yes - sorry, misread that. Never managed to track down the two "Three Originals" 2CD sets, so I was very happy about these recent reissues!

Don't skip the Burton Greene!

How many orders by now? Mine was 211! Alas, I went the cheapest way, as my purse is suffering these days... still in a post x-mas depression

One (the Live) only has two albums, I think. Great stuff!

I might be willing to part with it eventually... will have to give it some thought. I got them fairly expensive though. Maybe a trade would be best, for instance for thePres 4CD set. But I'm not sure yet what to do... I still want a real copy of the Pacific Piano Trios! (A friend lent me his set and I made a copy, at least... but I have that, I want the actual thing!)

This is slightly off topic... about the Living Space CD: all the material from there is on the Classic Quartet 8CD set, right? And what exactly is on Infinity that one doesn't have if one has virtually all there is to have on Impulse/GRP CDs? Just a few different versions w/overdubs, or is there anything that's not yet been on any CD? Where's that little box with all of Trane's late studio sessions, please!?!

Catching up on "Lost"... Ms. ubu had the first season on rent, I ignored it... then she realized buying was cheaper and got the second, of which I saw bits and pieces and slowly got into it... now she has seasons three and four waiting, and I'm about to finish season one, which I found used a week ago... still have to do all of season one, preferredly within next week, so the Ms. doesn't have to wait too long...

Too bad. The Mangelsdorff's are the best of the lot, by a VERY WIDE margin. Yes, they're great! The two 2CD sets are around cheap though, and the live one has some of the finest Mangelsdorff around! The 5CD sets are fairly expensive (around 35€ is the best I saw), but I still had to get them, of course! Haven't made my way through all of the music yet so far. Just in case: to have Mangelsdorff's full MPS output, you need: - Originals Vol. 1 (5CDs, one album per CD, in a flimsy box) - Originals Vol. 2 (same) - Live (2CD set) - Solo (2CD set) - & Friends (this one came out back with the first batches of MPS reissues done by Universal, it's not duplicated in any of the more recent sets!)

In some local store... otherwise I'd have mentioned it, of course! But all these Universal MPS boxes come fairly cheap over here (except for the Mangelsdorffs, which are a bit pricey).

Yes, saw the trio in 2008 - one of the greatest jazz concerts I've seen! Would love to see Randy again!

Jimmy Ryan's was a jazz club. See here, for instance: http://www.allaboutjazz.com/journalists/morgenstern2.htm and Sippie Wallace a blues singer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sippie_Wallace

Anything else you might consider letting that one go for? The three Commodores?

Thanks for thinking of me... I still have a spare Shank/Cooper to trade for the Pacific Trios, in case

They've put out so few discs but made quite some questionable choices, it seems to me... too bad they're drawn that much to the prog and jazzrock side of the MPS catalogue. Anyway, glad to know they're doing better, and yes indeed, the Jazz Meets India will be most welcome! Btw, I have sealed spare copies of the Pork Pie and Mariano discs - both pretty good! And both overpayed of course... make an offer if you're interested!

Thanks! I'm in then!

Thanks... will get the 2CD version then, without the San Diego set!

That's what I thought! I was rather shocked for a moment! Hope you can fix it and bring down the shipping expenses to a reasonable amount, and I'll be in of course!

Happy Birthday, Colin! :party:

I do not have the Lonehill reissues but I have the Fresh Sound 3CD set The Fabulous Gerry Mulligan Sextet'. A beautiful reissue which incorporates the full San Diego concert by the sextet and the sextet studio sessions, complete with the exceptions of several alternate takes ('Broadway', 'Demanton', 'Everything Happens to me' and 'The Lady is a Tramp') of their October 1955 session. Gee, it's such a nuisance to figure out these details with Fresh Sound, Lonehill etc! The San Diego is the same as on one of the Pacific "California Concert", right? Because Fresh Sound also has a 2CD version with just the three studio albums and the same alternates that are on the 3CD set. It does, btw, contain two takes each of "Broadway", "Demanton" and "The Lady Is a Tramp", but none of the two known from "Everything Happens to Me". But I guess these are the takes from different sessions? And the actual alternates are then (all, or mostly?) missing? What a mess!

Thanks Ken, good to know! As my Tatum collection is sketch and shady (Definitive set, Proper..., only the Pablo material is properly covered), this will be a great addition to my collection and there won't be much overlap with what I have so far, I think.

Had a 50€ coupon from amazon.de and finally ordered it (though amazon.fr has it almost 10€ cheaper... but it will cost me less than 10€ plus some taxes, so it's quite a deal! I might have asked this before, but are the Standards Transcriptions (from the 2CD release) included in this box or not?
