Gibert in Paris - most amazing used CD selection I've seen!

weird indeed, maybe they didn't anticipate that universal would get active again... (still, the mps catalogue is rich enough for two or three companies ) (also, somewhat strange that universal started again so shortly after licensing stuff to that promising music guy who make the japanese looking reissues... almost as if he got them thinking) and promising music is also selling mps stuff from universal http://www.promising-music.com/index.php?o...1&Itemid=35 here it says (in german) that promising music is a jointventure with universal http://www.jazzthing.de/news/080306/2.shtml are the candoli albums the first mps albums by the spaniards? There's a thread somewhere about the Promising Music reissues. I think it was mentioned there that they'll co-exist in the sense the Universal does the more mainstream stuff (and the pop dreck comps) and Promising Music does some of the more adventurous stuff (though still no Cecil Taylor - seems Promising Music is more into the electric jazz kind of adventures, alas... and they ask ridiculous prizes for their reissues, too... their George Duke release costs more than half of the complete MPS Duke box released by Universal, at least in stores here... and of course that one album is part of the box as well). edit: here's the Promising Music MPS thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=39234 Anyway, back on topic now... that Candoli/Rosolino looks good, but I guess those session Free for All heard would be even nicer to have one some well-done reissue!

I recently got hold of "The Modern Art of Jazz", finally! Mighty fine album, as has been mentioned by others in other threads (don't ask me where, I don't think there's a Mathews thread here). Had "Wild Kitten" for several years before, so I was familiar. Definitely one of the finest on the accordion, r.i.p.

weird... now that Universal has become a wee bit active again in things MPS (not suggesting they would release anything by that Conti... who? isn't that a p0rn star anyway?) - how come FRS dare to rip off such things? And where do they take them? Japanese reissues? Or did Candoli and/or Rosolino get the rights of their MPS albums and this actually is a legit reissue?

That's a great box - lovingly done! Really an exception to the rule. And it seems indeed that it was legit as well. That Candoli/Rosolino sure looks nice, too!

Thanks for the tip. Very good ones! The Thielemans is fine, the Viseur was a big surprise - lovely accordion playing in a perfectly straight setting! And of course I fully agree on the Jaspar and Thomas!

I've seen that boot - hilarious! Great session though, but I'd rather look for a used copy than getting the boot! As for your Evans question: the final Evans trio was quite different, much harder swinging than any of his earlier units, I think (though I am of the opinion that Evans swung, anyway, even in early years). I'm quite sure that any of his trio w/Johnson/La Barbera should convince anyone who's into good piano trio music, at least. I'd say give it a chance. But you might as well want to check out some smaller releases, instead of going for the box directly!

You weren't really excited about "De Pois do Amor, o Vazio" about five years ago. "Too nice and easy..." http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...st&p=162276 And you're still offended after five years? I guess it would be different to get to hear all of this music! Also, five years ago I had almost no interest in anything Shorter did after he left Miles, by now I have a few Weather Report albums and learned to dig them!

Wouldn't these albums make for a nice Mosaic Select? I've not heard any of them (Iska, Moto Grosso, Supernova).

Funny, the used books store where I just bought some used vinyl (see here) had some Musica Jazz reissues of MPS albums, including the Hubbard one with Eddie Daniels and the Dizzy Reunion Berlin one). I've seen that Edelhagen, thought it was one of the comps, with that lousy cover.... going from the tunes they do, it should be a pretty commercial affair, but I'll get an earful when I see it next!

Belated best wishes! :party:

Belated best wishes, Hans! :party:

Happy Birthday! All the best, Mike! :party:

not sure if any of these qualify as great finds, but all were cheap (except the Eubie Blake cost around 12 €, but for a double LP...) Count Basie/Joe Turner - The Bosses (Pablo) Joe Albany - Portrait of an Artist (Elektra) The Trumpet Album (Savoy) - arr. by Ernie Wilkins, feat. Shorty Baker, Emmett Berry, Art Farmer, Ernie Royal, Charlie Shavers on the first LP, and Donald Byrd, Ray Copeland, Royal, Idrees Sulieman, Joe Wilder on the second LP (with Don Abney, Wendell Marshall, Bobby Donaldson (LP1), Kenny Clarke (LP2) Friedhelm Schönfeld (Amiga Jazz) Polish Jazz 1946-1956: From "Improvising Jazz" Series, Early Polish Piano Players (Polish Jazz Archive Series, Vol. 4) Charlie Rouse - Cinnamon Flower (Douglas) Erroll Garner - Play It Again, Erroll! (Columbia 2LP) Eubie Blake - The Eighty-Six Years of Eubie Blake (CBS 2LP) Spinning "The Bosses" right now, lovely (and featuring the late great Louis Bellson on drums)

Yup, forgot the Dizzy - great one! The Edelhagen I didn't know - anyone has an opinion? What's the exact title, and who are the soloists? (Edelhagen led a mighty fine band, so I wonder - could well be worth looking for!)

as for Michel Doneda... I haven't been playing that kind of music for a while (a year or even two), but I remember liking this one quite a bit: Michel Doneda, Jack Wright, Tatsuya Nakatani - From Between (SoSEditions) Bagatellen review, One Final Note review, AAJ review I also have "the difference between a fish" by Doneda/Leimgruber/Rowe, but I'd need to give it a spin to say anything about it.

That's cool that they adding these "Originals" to this low-prize series! Earlier ones with complete albums were Clark Terry (Clark After Dark) and that other Ingfried Hoffmann album, "Hammond Bond" (which contains a full album plus some bonus tracks - on those you get Thomas but he's weaker there than the other guitar player on the main album!) That Dexter/Hampton is one I've wanted to hear for years, will definitely look for it! The Griffin as well, most welcome! Also the Hoffmann of course, and maybe the Hubbard... but these keep popping up in sales here (I just got the Ellis last week, for about 6 euros - not played yet -, I doubt they'll re-stock there with the new titles though, usually the cost about 8 euros here).

Yeah, that Mellé comparison and the fact that I finally got my record player hooked up in the flat I'm actually spending most of my time leads up to me wanting to play "Tome VI" again soon... the Fofo I got to play again as well, it's nice! (All three of those "hors série" 2CD sets are nice, the Distel may be my favourite, though the album on disc two is a bit weak).

I posted a short review a while ago here: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&pid=449707

Would fit nicely with Fresh Sound I guess... there'd certainly be some Bethlehem sessions with which they could pair it... I'd jump for that one, too! (No idea if it's seen reissue, btw)

Lance the [add your favourite medication]-head? Why the hell has he got to come back? And is Cancellara really clean? I mean, he seems nice and all, but that would make it even easier to fool the press and public... (not that I really care, but I did cycle in my teen years... and I'm bored at work today, so...)

how stupid can you get?

What, completely untracked? You don't even get a new track for side two of the LP? Weird! I dimly remember seing that CD in a store... yeah, thinking of it, I might have even left it there because I thought it was a bad copy because it was untracked... too bad, I guess I should have got it while it was still there!

Waiting for the La Porta to arrive from Paris The few tracks I've heard on the "Debut Story" box were a thrill! (And so is the Fantasy "Theme and Variations" disc, get it while you can!)
