could you figure out any of the other problems with this disc?

Got this disc cheaply in a sale and am giving it a first spin. Sounds like Tete alright on the first two titles: Wait a Second (Montoliu) 2:58 Spring Is Here (Rodgers-Hart) 7:15 w/NHOP, Bjarne Rostvold rec. between 1966-76 from the liners by Henrik Wolsgaard-Iversen: *) except for the only session that is dated, Copenhagen Jazz Festial 1982, #3 and #6 it seems Actually, why I found this thread is because I was hoping to find correct/more complete details for this very crappily presented disc (containg some very nice music, though!) Quality control, fellas!!! The "Ø"s in NHOP's name are all missing except for one, and there are obvious mistakes in the discography given, very annoying. Bjarne Rostvold is given as drummer on all titles, plus: #1-2 are listed as stated above #3 & #6: Copenhagen Jazz Festival 1982, Ben Besiakov (p), Bo Stief (b) #4 & #9: Atli Bjørn (p), NHOP (b) #5: Paris, Jesper Lundgård (b) #7 & #8: Richard Boone (tb,voc), Thomas Clausen (p), Mads Vinding (b) #10 Niels Husum Septet: Allan Botschinsky (t), Niels Husum (sax), Niels Neergaard (tb), Torben Munk (g), Ib Lund Nielsen (b) Now #3 is "Blues Blues Blues" by Jimmy Heath, the notes say, but it sounds like an over-familiar hardbop tune, I think by the Morgan/Shorter quintet version of the Jazz Messengers (or is it Horace Silver's "Soulville"?). Also, on #6 there's a very fine trombone player present, which leaves room for doubt about this being from the same occasion as #3... These are just some of the "issues" with this disc, I bet by taking a closer look, more questions would turn up... I also tried to look it up on the Storyville website, but it's not working right now.

I missed many of them... started buying in the 90s, when the Tristano/Konitz/Marsh was a new release, roughly (or rather, a few months later... in these my pre-internet days, new wasn't as new as it is today). Some of the ones I missed and regretted a lot: - the three Commodores (though back then they wouldn't have been of interest) - the Teagarden Capitol (which I think I could have bought early on, but again, lack of interest back then) - the Basie Studio Roulette (gone already, or I'd have bought it, got the live one at least!) - the Art Hodes - the Blue Note Jazzmen one (Hall/Johnson/DeParis etc, got the single discs, but the contents of disc 4 weren't reissued) - the Jimmy Smith (which I missed because of not being online back then... I sent in an order for the Smith and more, asking for the Fuller in case the Smith would be gone, and gone it was...) - the Goodman Small Groups (though I got a cheapo set with the master takes last year, for 7 or 8 euro-zlotys...) - the first Johnny Hodges The Condon I could buy recently from some seller here... but in that one again, I'd have had no interest back then... And I'm sure my list misses other sets... the Cecil Taylor Candid, the Mingus CBS (though I assume the most recent Sony/Legacy CDs are the better option anyway, with all the restored music), the Charles Brown, the Amos Milburn, etc. etc. I got to hear some of these thanks to generous friends, but I'd still love to have the real deal! reading above yes, the first Armstrong, too - another one that would have been still around, but I had no Armstrong back then and started with the Hot Fives/Sevens later on, still not being attracted to the old guys doing their retro/old-fashioned stuff in later eras... And the Nat Cole, too, though I'm not sure it would actually be listened to that often...

Hope you're doing well, Rodney! Congratulations and all the best! :party:

We got a young kitten last Summer, love her Except for chewing up the cables of about five headphones so far (30$ each time... but except for once always my girlfriend's) she didn't really do any damage, and somehow we managed to keep her wild and all but without her wanting to destroy/check out too many things. Cables are still a bit of an issue, though... I used some tape, but inevitably some are around here and there. But then I'm more afraid of her getting hurt than I'd be mad if she chew up anything else, really... oh, and she used our sofa heavily to train her claws, but that didn't bother me much, as it was a cheap second hand one (we still have it, it looks a bit... fuzzier...). One of our previous cats once tore up some book covers though, that had me pissed for a couple of days, even more so as one was a book by one of my big favourites, Robert Walser. But in the end, it's all forgiven, even if she managed to climb up the six foot and reach my Mosaics (they always were on the top shelf).

No, AntiVir is not the same as AVG. I started using AntiVir recently after reading rave reviews in consumer computer magazines. It seems to work just fine. Only drawback is that when it downloads updates it pops up a window encouraging you to buy the Pro version. Yeah, in if you then hit ALT + F4, instead of closing that pop-up, it closes the other window you've been working in... but other than that to my knowledge, I've had no problems with viruses or anything for all the time I've been using it. The only (slight) drawback is that it doesn't check emails, so you have to manually have attachments checked if you don't trust the person who sent them.

I have the free version from here: http://www.avira.com/en/pages/index.php

Just finishing a first spin of the Mighty Quinn Lovely album! Leggio has that old-fashioned sound that is at the same time heavy, full-bodied and meaty, yet light as a feather... you don't get that kind of sound with younger players any more... Joe Cohn on guitar is great, and the rhythm team of Rick Petrone/Joe Corsello hold their own (are they sort of Mighty Quinn's home rhythm section? They're also on the Steve Marcus and Ralph Lalama discs.

I've been using AntiVir (free - is that the same as AVG?) ever since Norton almost freaked up my computer completely (it was the 2006 or 2007 version). Some with more knowledge about such things than I told me that Norton upon installation spreads stuff all over your computer and can indeed do considerable damage and freak up all your settings in the worst case. I had my computer setup a new after that and never used Norton anymore... (and I wasn't even mad for paying for a year more than I'd actually used it, the relief when things were working again was too big for that!)

Yes! Played disc 1 yesterday and liked it a lot! The music isn't presented chronologically, and it's all over the place, jazz, blues, ballads, kitschy strings stuff.... but it's good!

I'd definitely get this if it came out!

Very good one! It's more organized than most of Dexter's recordings, no doubt because of Slide Hampton. The playing is well-focused and everybody contributes to the success... and of course it's nice to have Dizzy Reece in the mix! This is a cheapo reissue series, btw, 9$ is about the max these should cost... (there you see it again, 9$ is probably our continental version of what you call the 1$ bins...)

haven't had time to listen and don't know if it's a good selection or not, but I got this recent cheapo 3CD compilation based on the discussion here... no line-ups given, no liner notes, but you get recording dates and release info, at least: Disque : 1 1.

Great and at the same time sad thread here - thank you for sharing these remembrances! And thanks Allen for reminding me to listen to some of the music w/Triglia again! I first heard him on "Tijuana Moods" and I guess by now I have all or most of the discs/sessions that have been mentioned... love all the Fruscella material!

Got "I Told You So" in the current Universal sales... I think "On the Road" is in the bins, too, but I opted for some jams and the "First Time" trio date only, so far... the jams I got are "Basie Jam #2", "Kansas City 7", "Mostly Blues... and some Others", as well as "Loose Walk", an album co-led with Roy Eldridge. I have "Get Together" (with the great Budd Johnson!) and recently also found "The Bosses" (with Joe Turner) on vinyl. Also finally picked up "Chairman of the Board" before it vanishes, as well as the Joe Williams/Basie Roulette album that re-appeared as part of that great Capitol Vocalists reissue series (is Williams' own - ballad - album in that series any good ("A Man Ain't Supposed to Cry")?

Yeah, I'm really having a hard time imagining that... Zawinul wasn't just present in the glossy US jazz press (which certainly is "sanitized", no doubt about that), but also in the daily papers, and if you read interviews with him or articles about him, that's just not a thing that would ever come up... of course you can now say that he himself hid it, but then we're off into paranoia and conspiracy...

I stopped regularly reading and re-reading the liner notes, but I like having proper documentation, mainly, and I live with the illusion that lossless files burned to CDR actually do sound better to my very ears than MP3s from my analogically hooked up MP3-player...

Just to explain my scepticism, as I don't regularly take part in those MP3 downloads threads and debates... I'm still hoping that some day the labels will offer lossless downloads (preferredly the majors who hold all that material in the case of many of the labels included in the Chrono series and other such reissues - preferredly that is, in cases where any kinds of "masters" still exist). I mean, for a lossless 7CD set of Bessie Smith's music (of which I own nothing so far, alas) in lossless format plus a nice PDF with all the documentation (do you get any kind of documentation with e-music or Amazon MP3s? I'd not buy Classics downloads without that, I think! I'm anal, I know...) - I'd be willing to pay a far bit more than 40$ for that, I think. But there's no one offering that, so...

Columbia made those recordings, and they were not released because Columbia ended their contract with Mingus. I believe I read somewhere that Columbia gave these recordings to Mingus as part of their settlement. If that's the case, they should have come out on Revenge/32Jazz in the late 90s, I guess

Yup, the Reece and Jenkins are great! And so is the Richardson, indeed! http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=37591

Thanks for your comments! I guess the Poole goes on the list, then! Alas, no sign of these discs in local stores yet, but if they'll be sold for discount prizes, I won't think twice!

found used yesterday: Naked City - Grand Guignol: also recently: ordered some Tyner OJCs and already received: - Michael Blake's tribute disc to Lucky Thompson (Stunt, 2007) - the Zawinul live set from his own club in Vienna (double disc) - Billy Cobham "Spectrum" - New Orleans Rhythm King (the NORK dork 2CD set)

Major Holley

Seems Fantasy (and now Concord) owns some of the rights... also the rights to "Mingus at Monterey", which would be overdue for CD reissue, it's another mighty fine album (another meant in addition to the UCLA one). I found the double LP set about ten years ago and like it a lot! Would anyone know who owns the Town Hall 1964 and "My Favorite Quintet" recordings? It's all quite irritating, as Sue keeps blurting how important all of this is, and how many reissues she'll put out (remember the notes for "Revenge!" on 32jazz? And then after that first one, how many years had to pass until a second one appeared...) The Ronnie Scott 1972 sessions are "around" - did Mingus record those himself, or were they done by a label? And why were they never released in the first place?
