anyone? I guess I'll get the Adderley anyway, so what about the Hutcherson and those three Kentons?

oh, and "Capuchin Swing" is a fine album but it sounds horrible - it's one of those RVGs I rarely ever play because of that... couldn't tell what exactly is the problem... but I wonder: does anyone here have a similar reaction to it?

I like it! /Shaft Another . Not essential Rouse or bossa nova for that matter, but very enjoyable. yes - a nice one! not essential but nice. only just got it, good timing

I guess even those not into Kenton should give City of Glass a chance... also Showcase is nice. And then, the Basie Bond album is a very good one! Some great Lockjaw solos there! The Don Ellis may not be to everyone's taste, but from the albums I've heard, I still consider the Monterey one the best! And finally, Sheila Jordan's Blue Note album is one of the most special (and dearest in this household) ever committed to disc

Hm, several on this list that I'll need to get before they're gone for good: Tina Brooks - The Waiting Game Leo Parker - Let Me Tell You 'Bout It Jack Wilson - Easterly Winds Sarah Vaughan/Lester Young - Town Hall 1947 maybe also: Cannonball Adderley - Domination Bobby Hutcherson - Now! also possibly some more Kenton (Balboa, Tropicana, Viva Kenton are the ones) what's the word on these "maybe" ones? and the three Kentons? Just in case, here are the other deletions (other than Conns and RVGs): Big Band Cannonball Adderley - Domination (with Oliver Nelson) Count Basie - Breakfast Dance And Barbecue Count Basie - Basie Meets Bond Count Basie - The Count Basie Story (2 CDs) Don Ellis - Live At Monterey Don Ellis - Jazz In 3 & 2/3 /4 Time Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra - Consummation Stan Kenton - At The Las Vegas Tropicana Stan Kenton - Back To Balboa Stan Kenton - City Of Glass Stan Kenton - Kenton Showcase Stan Kenton - Standards In Silhouette Stan Kenton - Viva Kenton! Buddy Rich - Buddy And Soul Vocal Mose Allison - Jazz Profile Dr. John - Sippiana Hericane Billie Holiday - Billie's Blues Sheila Jordan - Portrait Of Sheila Peggy Lee - Basin Street East Presents Julie London - About The Blues The Best Of Nellie Lutcher Bobby McFerrin - Spontaneous Inventions Dakota Staton & George Shearing - In The Night Sarah Vaughan - Sarah Sings Soulfully Sarah Vaughan & Lester Young - Town Hall Concert 1947 Joe Williams - A Swinging Night At Birdland Joe Williams And Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra The Best Of Joe Williams Afro Cuban Laurindo Almeida & Bud Shank - Brazilliance-Volume 2 Art Blakey - African Beat Los Van Van - Dancing Wet Sabu - Palo Congo DVDs The Manhattan Project (Wayne Shorter, Michel Petrucciani, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White) Michel Petrucciani - Power Of Three (with Wayne Shorter & Jim Hall)

Wow, I love the Mulligan! Some of the best big band writing in the modern idiom that I've heard! Up there with the Clarke-Boland and Jones-Lewis bands! I also thought it sold out pretty fast - maybe indeed some people bought it for Mulligan and didn't except it to be what it is...

Yes, and many of those were either available as Conns (Cliff Craft, One Step Beyond, Byrd in Flight, The In Between) or Rare Grooves (Good Gracious), and I guess - though I'm too young to have them - most or all also were on "domestic" CDs in the late 80s. I'm happy owner of most of the respective Mosaics, luckily! But agreed, albums like those by Elvin Jones I've never seen in the last years... also the Mobley and the Larry Youngs I'd buy immediately! And any Duke Pearson, too!

What kind of abbrevations do you have??? Are they worth a lot of money??? I know a woman that might buy them from you, over a few years I had a woman once tell me that something near and dear to me reminded her of an abbreviation. Up over and out. ha, at least my typo made sure you had some fun!

bumping this up for MG!

I think we discussed it before, in a thread where it wasn't that much off-topic (maybe even a Jacquet thread?) - but hey, I keep forgetting such things all the time, too! With all those spanish labels, things can get quite complicated!

I have suggested a Corea/Circle Mosaic Select and MC said that was a nice idea. Would fill the gap between Joan Bones, the "Is" Sessions, and the ECM material. I hope it will happen, but of course I can do nothing but hope...

uhm, because we're all self-hating masochists?

Yes! I'd love a Verve Mosaic! The problem only is that Lonehill has four volumes compiling all that material, I think. At least the later. The earliest of it was on the Jacquet/Webster Verve Elite disc, and one of the albums (also on a Lonehill twofer) was in the LPR series. So alas, I'm afraid that's never going to happen.

Wow, that's indeed an amazing photo!

I think there was an RCA CD containing exactly the same sessions as disc 4 of the Mosaic. In that case I assume what you miss moslty are the great photos and some interesting comments to read... I'd have been surprised if you'd not owned most of that music anyway!

plenty of older jazz they could reissue... the rest of the George Lewis sessions, the Ammons/Meade Lux Lewis, the Swingtet material, and most of all the Art Hodes! Also I think not all of the Bechet material was recently out on CD, but then I just may have missed a couple of those late 80s CDs (seems back then almost anything was on CD at one time... but a lot of it was OOP by the time I started buying CDs in the mid-late 90s).

Got the Gwigwi Mwrebi "Kewala" disc (Honest Jon's) yesterday and immediately gave it a spin - absolutely lovely music! Thanks a lot for reminding me of that one - I think I once saw it in a local shop, years ago, horrenduously prized, then completely forgot about it. Good to get a couple of glimpses of Ronnie Beer, too! Who's that Laurie Allan? (A lady I assume, right?) Anyone knows anything about her? She appears on the early (pre-BoB) big band track by McGregor that I put onto my BFT. (The disc was recommended over in the Blue Notes box set thread)

No, not problems - just I love Griffin that much, and the lush huge sound of Coe holds somehow more interest to me as well. But I've never heard Scott outside of the CBBB so maybe I'd just have to hear him in another setting to re-evaluate his contributions there. Of course the fact alone that he was a long-standing member of that band means he must have been a great musician - not the slightest doubt about that!

Yes, I have the PDF, a print version of the catalogue (where I made lots of symbols "buy definitely", "buy", "maybe buy", "have", "have as part of box"...), as well as a print-out of the PDF (with more symbols... though plenty more "have" ones).

Ah, I see - I have abbreviations... they always remind me of the army - they have abbrev.itis there.

That "catalogue" (what an unstructured mess!) looks so sad compared to the printed 2003 or 2004 Fantasy catalogue I still have!

what's an RN? redneck?

wtf?

who would send moeny to help president Bush?
