I was always hoping for both a Giuffre and a Konitz Verve Mosaic - but I guess that will never happen, as so much of the music was released on Lonehill, Gamit etc. The O'Day/Giuffre session was in the O'Day Mosaic, so including it in a Select would be against the usual Mosaic policy... but that might be a pretty nice Select, indeed! The Ellis meets Giuffre is mighty fine, too!

just what I thought! another one that went unjustly neglected: I heard that his ad-libbing on "Regina Coeli" was pretty jazzy... comparable to Coltrane on "Interstellar Space"

That's indeed a nice one! Found it used a while ago... any of these jams with Budd Johnson turning up seem to be good! MG, that Milt Jackson looks interesting! These two are great as well: Milt Jackson (vibraphone); Teddy Edwards (tenor saxophone); Cedar Walton (piano); Ray Brown (acoustic bass); Billy Higgins (drums) Recorded at Kosei Nenkin Hall, Tokyo, Japan on March 22 & 23, 1976

Me too (from amazon.com, most likely their last copy of the set). Whew! Yeah, big relief! And I'm of course excited to finally get to hear "Soundin' Off", too!

amazon.de (and since a few months also amazon.fr) offer free shipping for orders totalling 20€ or more (after VAT calculations). So I always attempt to create orders of a value between roughly 20 and 35€, as they'll be shipped without charges AND cheap enough to come through without custom taxes and fees. That's rather difficult with box sets and overseas orders though, as the shipping usually is so steep that it makes no sense to order just one or two discs... Anyway, I guess Amazon is offering that since they have no Swiss site.

I'll do so... I'll also upgrade "Workingman's Dead" eventually, which I just played on the ipod on the way to work - it might be my favourite right now! I love the simpler approach they take, yet with some of the guitar madness shining through here and there, and some good funky drumming, too... and I'm a sucker for the steel guitar... (I also recently got the three first Emmylou Harris albums, love 'em!)

The new edition of French "Jazz Magazine/Jazzman" (they merged a few months ago) has a disc with a few unreleased tracks! ha, since posts created within a short time are merged into one post, both attachments (more than 100KB) are in one post now! funny!

23.50€ for me, free shipping! Thanks a lot, just ordered one! 23.50? How did that happen? Are you sure you didn't order the old 2CD edition? Nah, that's because they take off the German VAT (and I think add the Swiss one, which is about 10% lower). This is nice now and then, as this will be cheap enough to slip through the customs without additional tax, but believe me, this is the exception!

John Coltrane! Maybe they could inject some of his stem cells to Kenny G or some such?

I recently bought a few Basie Pablo albums, the "First Time" and "Second Time" trios, jams and big bands, as well as several of the Basie/Peterson collaborations. Some very nice stuff there! One of the outstanding among them is "Basie Get Together" with Budd Johnson!

23.50€ for me, free shipping! Thanks a lot, just ordered one!

bought some of the 2001 Rhino remasters at the used store yesterday: The Grateful Dead Anthem of the Sun Aoxomoxoa Live/Dead American Beauty Three of those I just bought in the old versions, ain't that crazy? Anyway, they look great and they contain quite some bonus material (except for Live/Dead, which I nevertheless upgraded). Now it seems like I'll need to upgrade Workingman's Dead, too... same for History of the Grateful Dead Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice)... Gee, someone could have told me not to buy these old CDs in the first place

and one is a much appreciated disc in this house here now!

Got a shipping notification, after all! Hope it doesn't yet get caught up in the x-mas mail and will be duly delivered in a week or so!

JPC is a fine vendor. I think they don't stock it all, but this is most certainly there within the time frame they give (while with Amazon "1-2 weeks" often means never ever, that's not the case with JPC, from my experience). Also you could cancel it by logging back in, and order from Amazon.fr (see brownie's link) - the price is about the same.

Well, it's not been that long since I started drinking wine, but going by glasses, it seems in the past ten years the prices have risen quite out of proportion compared to how wages have risen... same for beer, of course! They even made the glasses smaller a few years ago (a regular tap beer used to be a third of a liter here, now it's mostly a fourth, at the same price initially, but by now of course at a higher price). There's a save value though: a pint of Guiness - the thing that sucks about it is that it costs almost as much as the cheapest sales bins disc we can find here (about 9$, usually).

NORK - mentioned in the first post... I got the Retrieval recently, still need to play it!

another great one that I already have: Henry 'Red' Allen 1929-1933 (Chronogical Classics)

any relation to?

Barney K, I guess?
