Note sure I'll be ending up as a NORK dork yet, but I just snagged this up cheaply (from JPC) and am looking forward to hearing it!

Yeah, I was sort of waiting for a new one to appear in the sales bins, as that's where I picked up "Sweetnighter", "Tale Spinnin'", "Black Market" etc, all in their new masterings and all pretty cheap... but I always felt I should fill up the gap and get the first album, as these "beginnings" of fusion music and jazz rock or whatever you want to call it, are highly fascinating to me (while much of what comes later is quite completely beyond my interest... muscular chops show-offs etc... though I love the Zawinul Syndicate of roughly Joe's final ten years, got some glorious videos off TV, too! Richard Bona is great, but Joe was always the main attraction, with his "invented" world/roots/folk stuff, the great rhythms, his crazy vocoder vocalising etc.)

I see - and is it ok? Also how about "Heavy Weather" - I only have the old one of it, too... what do the experts say?

Has the very first album been remastered as well or not? I have albums #2-6 I think, plus "Heavy Weather", "Live and Unreleased" and "Live in Tokyo", and that first one I'd like to get, but the entries on Amazon are confusing, Amazon.fr has a 1992 CD and Amazon.de has several editions (including one that is not availble but is listed with a March 2009 release date), but all of them look like old Legacy CDs do:

This was on a Japanese CD when they reissued a bunch of Basie's Verve albums some years ago (for the centenary, I think). I wonder if they will just use the same remastering to keep costs down. Remastering shouldn't be allowed at all, as it spoils the original (vinyl) album effect bigtime!

Here's an earlier thread I started, where, among other things, I asked if anyone has any news about the upcoming reissues of the Pyramids albums: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=50580

Going back to my earlier post regarding the lack of end note numbers in the essay I wrote for the new Uptown CD, I neglected to take at least partial responsibility for what happened. To make a long story short, in retrospect, my submission was not formatted ideally for a CD booklet. I wouldn't worry , as a huge LT fan I found it a most interesting essay. There seems to be very little written about Lucky and what there is seems mainly to add little to the, talented but difficult character who played with everyone especially Martial Solal then withdrew from the scene altogether, repeated in most of the potted bios I've seen on Thompson. Yes, I enjoyed reading the essay a lot as well! It's just that I've been dealing with too many of these formal issues and I don't quite get it why some never get it right, so I was wondering a bit what happened there. But probably I was most annoyed about the fact that the thick CD booklet of the set I got wasn't fold straight and in the middle... I guess I'm anal, but hey, I love the music, and that's the most important thing about this release, of course!

I'm Bidin' My Time - one of my favourites from Gershwin!

Time to Smile (by Freddie Redd, from "The Connection", also performed by Steve Grossman on the album titled after this song)

Time Remembered (Bill Evans - performed many times by him)

Sham Time (Eddie Harris, on "The Electrifying Eddie Harris") The Time of My Life (Carl Burnett - performed by Eddie Harris on "People Get Funny") It's Time To Do What You Want (on "The Versatile Eddie Harris") It's About Time (Eddie Harris, on "Yeah You Right") Time Off (Curtis Fuller - on Art Blakey's "Ugetsu") weird, new posts get incorporated into the previous one with a big double line-break and no "edit"-note or anything... is that a new feature? On Jimmy Heath's Landmark album of the same title, the song (I assume it's the same one?) is called "The Time and the Place".

Living Color - Time's Up

Time on My Hands (Youmans-Gordon-Adamson) sung by Lee Wiley:

Yes, belated best wishes! :party:

A Time and a Place (Jimmy Heath - performed by Harold Vick on "Commitment" and also by the Heath Brothers)

Powell's song was also performed by Roland Kirk!

Time (Richie Powell) (by Roach-Brown Quintet, rec. 1956-02-16 w/Rollins & Morrow, EmArcy MG 36070) Time (Walt Dickerson) (from "This Is Walt Dickerson")

Just in Time (Jule Styne-Betty Comden-Adolph Green)

Bumping this up... I've played some of these discs over the weekend, starting with the two Chambers albums, Shorter's first, "Kelly Great", and also the the first to Lee Morgan albums. These two sets together really form a great body of work! Besides the four co-leaders, there's some mighty fine Clifford Jordan on the Morgan sessions! And as I said before, Adderley plays very, very fine on the first Chambers album! Wonderful music, and I'm looking forward to hearing the "Young Lions" album and the remaining Shorter dates next!

My version has the original notes (as well as Schapp's). They're not very edifying. I see... lots of those 50s Verve albums have notes that say little, in fact!

Yesterday: Circulasione Totale: Frode Gjerstad, saxophones/clarinet; Sabir Mateen, saxophones/clarinet; Bobby Bradford, cornet; Børre Mølstad, tuba; Kevin Norton, vibraphone; Anders Hana, guitar; Lasse Marhaug, elctronics; Morten J. Olsen, percussion/electronics; Nick Stephens, bass; Per Zanussi, electric bass; Hamid Drake, drums; Louis Moholo, drums Quite intense, and with many good moments! Bradford has a beautiful and strong sound on trumpet! And the three drummers were quite something... also Lasse Marhaug did some great stuff and it really made sense having him in this band! Kevin Norton was terrific as well!

Yes, belated best wishes! :party:

Hmm - Bern has at least one jazz LP place (pricey, I recall) and Vancouver is heavily depleted on the LP front in recent years. Used to be good for CDs though with 'A&B Sound's' 20% off deals on everything on Canada Day. Not sure on Zurich but maybe The King can pipe in..? Nothing too useful, but we got them nets for that, don't we? There's a great used record store 20 minutes outside of ZH though, it used to be right near where I live but moved away several years ago. Jazz exclusively, too! You could easily spend a fortune there, and I'm not aware of any similar stores in the surroundings or the rest of Switzerland, so on that account, Zurich should win

"Perceptions" is great indeed!

For Musicians Only is indeed great! I have the old US CD, was there a Verve Master Edition reissue of it? (There was of "Diz & Getz" and of "Sonny Side Up", the later of which I have as VME.) To my ears, the old CD sounds very good! The drag though is that except for some silly Schaap sage-isms on the bonus tracks, there are no notes... or wait, that's on "Duet", I think, yes... still weird, having "additional comments" but no "original notes"...
