http://www.membran.net/ - is the site to check for details of Quadromania boxes. choose "serien/label" on top then "jazz/blues" on the left then on the right "quadromania jazz"

up?

The liner notes are pretty long. Even so, I was typing this one up on Saturday and was about 80% done when my computer froze. Sorry to hear that! Thanks for trying!

Maybe these are imports of the European-printed Universal OJCCDs (as I call them)? - They look like OJCs but have a Universal logo on the back and new numbers on the spines, also the Prestige/Riverside etc numers aren't listed there in brackets, as they used to be on most of the original OJCCDs... but the OJC logo is still there on the front cover.

Wow, that's cool about "In C"! Didn't know about that!

The one pictured above, that's the one in ECM's recent Touchstones Series, right?

There's a separate Gaslini thread in the artists section - but I considered throwing his name in here yesterday... then didn't in the end. Siegfried Kessler, the late great, who worked with Archie Shepp, is also worth mentioning. I only have one disc of his, on Marge/Futura/whatever Terrones label, Shepp sits in on two tracks, the rest is trio. Mighty fine. This comes to mind as just last night I watched a 1980 DVD by Shepp's quartet including Kessler. Some of the best Shepp from those years, I'd say!

Those are the same 11 tracks amazon.co.uk shows for the entry of the EMI reissue: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nina-Simone-Town-H...2530&sr=8-4 So I'm quite sure there were no bonus tracks ont that one!

- bonus tracks - The Amazing four from "Nina Simone with Strings": I Loves You Porgy Falling Love Again (I Can't Help It) That's All The Man with a Horn At Town Hall I think no bonus tracks, but that's the one I only have on the Collectables twofer (with Amazing sans bonus tracks) At Newport no bonus tracks Forbidden Fruit 11 bonus tracks: Porgy Is Your Woman Now (from "Nina Simone with Strings") Baubles, Bangles and Beads (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) *Gimme a Pigfoot (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) Ev'rytime We Say Goodbye (from "The Best of Nina Simone", Roulette Jazzz CD98584) *Spring Is Here (previously unissued) Lonesome Valley (previously unissued) Golden Earrings (previously unissued) My Ship (previously unissued) 'Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do (previously unissued) Try a Little Tenderness (previously unissued) Old Yesh Home (previously unissued) *) different take of these were on "Nina Simone with Strings" At the Village Gate 4 bonus tracks from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere" (West Side CD 210) Eretz Zavat U'dvash Vaynikehu Sinner Man You'll Never Walk Alone Sings Ellington 5 bonus tracks Come On Back, Jack (45-614) Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out (45-158) I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl (45-647) Since My Love Has Gone (45-151) If Only for Tonight (45-156) At Carnegie Hall (2CD) (CD2 contains "Folksy Nina") 4 bonus tracks: Work Song (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Little Liza Jane (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Whill I Find a Resting Place? (from "Nina Simone At Newport, The Village Gate and Elsewhere", West Side CD 210) Blackbird (45-703) This is all there is... now just don't ask me to tell you which discs you ought to get because of the bonus tracks... I couldn't tell, as I bought them recently, except for "Forbidden Fruit" and "Village Gate" which I've had a bit longer, and for the first of them, it should be rather clear, with all these bonus tracks... those two have turned up as non-CC versions in local BN sales, that's where I first noted these EMI reissues at all.

I've got them all now, but "The Amazing", "At Newport" and "Sings Ellington" are copy-crap discs (of the European reissues listed in that other thread), and "At Town Hall" I only found on the Collectables twofer (with The Amazing again). "Forbidden Fruit", "At Village Gate" and "At Carnegie Hall" (2CD, also incl. "Folksy Nina") I bought them via amazon.fr marketplace and priceminister.com - didn't check amazon.de marketplace as their shipping to Switzerland is almost twice as much as amazon.fr's). From when is that disc you just got? And do you know more about the upcoming reissue in Verve's originals series?

Braff's story is pretty wild, too... and googling his photo, you'll see... well, look yourself He grew up as son of missionaries or something in Senegal, and the african influence is clearly there in his music - I just love it! Though somehow I think it's mostly music to be experienced live. He has such power, yet he can be so soft, and he's not afraid of melody.

Hm, not in my edition (yes, that book, yes Hannibal, 5 euro or some, I don't complain) - there's Krupa, Kyser, then Guy Lombardo and Lunceford, no Lawrence in between!

Malcolm Braff! homepage - myspace Colin Vallon! homepage - myspace - aaj both deserve more than one exclamation point, actually... both are sort of extending the mainstream traditions, Vallon in a lyrical/powerful way, Braff more in a playful african direction (Alex Blake, longtime member of Randy Weston's band, has done an album with Braff as well), and both use the great Samuel Rohrer on drums at least in some of their formations (Braff has several, Vallon just his trio, I think).

Yes, it was the same here, the Mulligan album had much more impact! One more thing: I just recently got George T. Simon's big bands book (in german - on sale at zweitausendeins.de as is Hennessy's Klook book, just in case) - he produced and wrote liners for these Lawrence sessions, but there's no mention of him in the book (there's no index, but there's not chapter for Lawrence).

and looking around a bit I found this long entry in the "Mulligan International Newsletter" (homepage) from June 2005. Now I need to read this tonight, I guess... source: http://www.gerrymulligan.info/news_june2005.html

I recently bought Lawrence's two Fantasy releases "Plays Mulligan Arrangements" (a straight album reissue, OJCCD), and "Swings Cohn and Kahn", compiling the album "Swinging at the Steel Peer" with selections from three other albums (including five tracks from one where Zoot Sims was added). The main soloists are Nick Travis, Eddie Bert and Al Cohn, also you get to hear some Hal McKusick. Bert and Cohn's playing struck me as especially fine, and the tracks with Al & Zoot together are a treat (great to hear them with big band backing, for once)! The arrangements I guess aren't all that special in the end, though on the Mulligan disc, there are some fine ones. The first time I heard Lawrence, btw, was on the two titles of his on Mulligan's "Mullenium" (Columbia, reissue of an LP titled "The Arranger", I think - mostly a 1957 date, with some early arrangements for Lawrence and Krupa as fillers). AMG once more isn't helpful at all... the bio is as short (and Scott-y) as the reviews for the two CDs. Here's the Lawrence entry from nfo.net:

The repeat of Berdych-Federer as my sister was there, sitting in the first row (she's been down under for half a year now)

Thanks, I will! I didn't even know it was out until I recently saw it in a local store!

I have the Elsie Bianchi and the first Mombasa - both fine! Will need to get the second Mombasa as well, eventually!

I ordered these, I hope they were good choices: Sounds Of Harlem 60336610652-HEP 1065 Sounds of Harlem 60336610662-HEP 1066 Groovin' High in 60336600152-HEP 15 1948-Transcripti 60336600172-HEP 17 [Claude Thornhill] They All Had Rhy 60336600482-HEP 48 I'd still love to get the Norvo and Wilson series, and more of the Thornhill...

Some earlier threads: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=2499 http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=10489 Mario Pavone thread: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=24595 I just looked at the rat, nothing much essential said about the box, except ravings by D.D., chaney, yours truly...

This is a mighty fine box, just in case anyone has doubts! It has been discussed in the funny rat thread and possibly elsewhere, too, and quite favourably so. Pretty intense playing by all involved (mostly Chapin's trio with the great bass of Mario Pavone, sometimes extended with some additional horns).

The Doran, Om (Leimgruber) and Hans Koch's Accélération are a couple of Swiss jazz classics - fine stuff! The Oliver Lake/Trio 3 & Irene Schweizer is a live recording from a couple of years back. I attended their Zurich concert and was rather pleased!
