bumping this up in connection with the currently active other mps thread here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=42958 this is, I think, the full list of the earlier mps reissues done by Universal (in roughly 2003/2004): Charly Antolini - Drum Beat - 06024 9808191 Clarke Boland Big Band - All Smiles - 981 479 0 Clarke Boland Big Band - More Smiles - 981 478 9 Clarke Boland Big Band - Fellini 712 - 981 480 5 Wolfgang Dauner Trio - Music Zounds - 06024 9808190 Art Farmer Quintet - From Vienna With Art - 06024 9811443 Friedrich Gulda - Fata Morgana - Live at the Domicile - 06024 9811447 Horst Jankowski Quartett - Jankowskinetik - 06024 9808189 Horst Jankowski - Jankowskeynotes - 981 480 6 Hans Koller - Exclusiv – 06024 9813440 Hans Koller - Relax With My Horns – 06024 9813445 Hans Koller Big Band - New York City – 06024 9813437 Hans Koller Free Sound - Phoenix – 06024 9813438 Volker Kriegel - Spectrum - 06024 9808699 Joachim Kühn - Hip Elegy - 06024 9808186 Albert Mangelsdorff - And His Friends - 00440 0673752 Don Menza - Morning Song - 06024 9811446 Fritz Pauer Trio - Blues Inside Out - 06024 9811264 Fritz Pauer - Live At The Berlin Jazz Galerie - 06024 9811263 Nelson Riddle - Changing Colors - 981 479 4 Nelson Riddle - Communication - 981 479 5 Annie Ross & Pony Poindexter - With The Berlin All Stars - 06024 9811257 Attila Zoller / Hans Koller / Martial Solal - Zoller Koller Solal – 00422 8431072 SACDs: Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. I - Action - 06024 9811293 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. II - Girl Talk – 06024 9811294 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. III - The Way I Really Play – 06024 9811295 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. IV - My Favorite Instrument – 06024 9811296 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. V - Mellow Mood – 06024 9811303 Oscar Peterson - Exclusively For My Friends Vol. VI - Travelin' On – 06024 9811305 I have all the Kollers, the CBBBs (Fellini I have on the old twofer with Latin Kaleidoscope, didn't get the new one), the Mangelsdorff, the Ross/Poindexter, the Kühn, and now recently got the Gulda and just today the Menza arrived. The Farmer I'll get, too... a mighty fine bunch of discs, and the Menza comes highly recommended!

watched the first episode of the second season of "californication" last night (in english, it only is on the French-language channel here, the darn protestants don't continue with it after season one went from starting times of ten p.m. to almost midnight months ago...) - hard to understand in english, but I'll try and catch it every monday now, love it!

sounds different than in the other thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...st&p=861009

Yeah well, he worked with Ella a tad too long, maybe, no? Too gentle to step out into the spotlight? One of my favourites of his is the self-titled Bennie Wallace album on AudioQuest - marvellous Flanagan on that one! A good pairing, come to think of it, Wallace with his huge, somewhat old-fashioned sound, works very nicely with Flanagan! (And with the great Lou Levy on "Old Songs", another fine AudioQuest album of Wallace's.)

Are the four Thad Jones tracks the one from the United Artists album? If so, that may be my favourite Thad Jones small group date! Fantastic one, and to me I think the highlight of the (terrific!) Thad Jones Blue Note/UA/Roulette Mosaic! (And mind me, much better than most anything ever committed to disc by Donald Byrd... I mean I like Byrd, I'm on record stating that here, I guess multiple times, but Thad in those years, he was just awesome in a small group setting!)

The Eldridge is OOP as well.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday & all the best, Garth!

earlier thread - there are two more of these boxes, I have them all but the Codona I only got a couple of weeks ago and it's open but unlistened... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=48297

eloe omoe, no? - and yes, as far as I know it still very much exists. But in Switzerland, distribution of it ended in the latest 90s, I think.

If it's not the switch itself, a common problem on some older turntables with idler-wheel drive is that the rubber on the wheel has dried out so that it doesn't drive the platter correctly. Gee, I missed your reply all these months... sorry for that! Got a new needle in the meantime (seems it's difficult to find one for my Shure thingie, but there's a funny "nostalgia radio" shop in Zurich that had one left). Playing one of my few recent acquisitions, a nice selection covering 1950-56:

Same here! And these Originals contain a) too many easy listening albums, and b) too many albums reissued earlier by Verve/Universal/GRP in much better editions with additional tracks. Not a great series, all in all, but still at least they haven't stopped completely yet...

octo moron?

sorry for being late to the party - happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

gee... should have been, of course...

welcome... and of course that been "handy".

There's a story on Andrew Cyrille in the latest Wire - haven't read it yet (it's by that Andy Hamilton I think), but I thought it might interest some of you!

I am Swiss and I am opposed to the banking secrecy, but I have a hunch that GoodSpeaks eff-offs me, too...

What's that Joe Farrell project mentioned above? Never heard about it... he's a fine player, but I wonder what would they collect? I don't know much of his solo output, but I think besides some CTI albums, there are some on Xanadu and one Fantasy (I don't have any of them)... all of that not being material Mosaic usually lays hands on, so I wonder...

Here's a PDF catalogue - comes in very hand! Universal Originals There are some Verve By Requests listed (Desmond, Dearie, Mendes a.o.), not sure that's just a mistake or those have come out in new Originals reissues again, or if they were just incorporated into the new series and will be kept in print in the original VBR packaging (VBRs did contain some bonus tracks, though!)

I've never felt much of an urge checking out his Nucleus and other electric stuff, but the band he co-led with Don Rendell was mighty fine - I love those albums! r.i.p.

brown rose on xanadu has the same 1956 sessions as the vogue vol 2 and the thompson/gryce (vogue vol 2 unlike the others has the trio with trunk; there is also a cd called lucky sessions with the trio plus vogue vol 1); the high note is a different session from 1958/59 with michel hausser... (there is also theJiP disc with sammy price btw...); thompson is on at least two sessions of the clarke americans cd... Ah yes, Brown Rose.... I once bought that thinking it was an album I didn't have... was lucky that they took it back in the shop

To get the complete Lucky in Paris, btw, you'll also need the Kenny Clarke disc from the EMI "Americans Swinging in Paris" series. It contains some marvellous stuff, including one session with Thompson.

Lucky in Paris (doesn't it have another title, something with "Flower" maybe?) and the Pochonet are the Swing sessions, those were on two "Original Vogue Masters" CDs (one of those added Lucky's great half - a trio date with Peter Trunk on bass - of an album shared I think with Bud Powell - that half was the bonus on the Duke Jordan "Original Vogue Masters" CD). This is good news, but still... the Paris stuff would be way too much for a Select and it wouldn't be that cool if they picked sessions for just one or two of the various labels - but the fact alone that so many labels would be involved (RCA/BMG or rather now Sony/BMG owns the Swing/Vogues, EMI owns the Ducretet-Thomson sessions, Universal the Barclay ones) would make this an almost impossible project, I assume. So indeed the ABC stuff... what would that consist of? The stuff from the "Tricotism" CD, also the Oscar Pettiford big band twofer? And what else? These two have both been ripped off by Lonehill or another of those cheapo labels. I'd absolutely love to see a set compiling the sessions with Milt Jackson, but Mosaic has never done anything by Savoy, I think? But that would be my LT dream/wish set, if I had the choice, that's for sure! (I guess though maybe Lonehill will do that eventually, just as they did with Curtis Fuller's sessions... too bad, I'd much more see Mosaic doing it!)
