Though to be honest, those over there don't choose the most interesting items, either...

They outsourced/sold lots of the more interesting items to that other label - there's a thread about those reissues somewhere else.... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=39234

Yes, with Kessel it could be interesting enough... don't have much of the trio with Ellis (or the later one with Thigpen) and don't feel like buying much more than I have... but with Kessel - any idea how big that set would be? The bigger, the less likely I'll buy, I guess.

I'm not hip to those at all! Sounds good! WHat I meant was jazz-wise - not much of interest after those black digipack releases came out (Dizzy's Odyssey, the Norvo, Pres etc. sets), maybe some 32jazz reissues, but then that was about it, sadly!

Just a personal note: those compilations are far from lousy! I'm not talking of any of those old digipack series - I have many of them and they're good or better! What I mean is those "Timeless" 1CD compilations, usually only about 40 minutes long, omitting some music where they could have just combined two full albums (i.e. the Timeless Donald Byrd, which has half of the Byrd's Word or Work album and half of Star Eyes - what a stupid disc! I still fell for it as I didn't have Byrd's Word/k at that time).

Well, I haven't been around all those years when Shepp grew boring... I know some of that not so great music of his, too, but I mostly just ignored it so far, so I can't really tell... Here's the info from jazzdisco on the trio session - the CD reissue of "On This Night" (GRD 125 - and old jewel case "domestic" Impulse CD) collects it all:

Well, after what Concord is doing (or rather: not doing) with the Fantasy catalogue... I really don't know what to think. Same for Savoy - who owns that stuff, is that still Warner? Or are they independent again? They, and Concord neither, don't seem to have any interest in doing "real" reissues, beyond repacking the best known items they own (Concord's RVG series) or doing lousy compilations (at least that's all I've seen from Savoy, in the last four or five years). I simply don't know.

I'd disagree stronlgy that all (I almost want to say ANY) of these saxophonists are "better" than Chariie Rouse! Yup, agree strongly with your disagreeing! Danny Quebec West? Well, yes, sure! Up in the league of Coltrane's! Anyway, what's the point in such comparisons? Sure, I'd love to have more Gryce w/Monk - the Savoy session is marvellous! Also more later Rollins w/Monk would have been great (if the two tunes on Rollins Vol. 2 are a fair indicator - there's Brilliant Corners, too! Ernie Henry!). As for Coltrane and Griffin, possibly they just did what they could with Monk and then left to pursue other things? I mean Coltrane was in his quick-evolving phase then, and Griffin... we have two full discs of great music there, and honestly, I somehow feel they couldn't have done much beyond that... don't get me wrong, I love Monk and Griffin each on their own, and I enjoy "Misterioso" and "Thelonious In Action" very much. Yet still, I never felt like I needed more of that...

cojones?

And on what EMI disc are the missing Playboys track (missing from the first depicted disc above, that is, but present on the Freshsound "complete" disc)?

Ok, continuing the confusion - what about Playboys? There's a new digipack by one the Spanish thieves labels I think, with some claims about being the first release to get some details right and stuff... that's also part of the Art Pepper Mosaic box, but for daily convenience, a CD of it should be handy (I have the LP version of the Pepper set) - so again: what's the best way to get that one? Glossy digipack from Jazztrack: 1. For Minors Only 2. Minor Yours 3. Resonant Emotions 4. Tynan Time 5. Picture of Heath 6. For Miles and Miles 7. C.T.A. and less glossy Fresh Sound digipack (with those claims for perfection...): 1. Tynan Time (Art Pepper) 6:19 2. Little Girl (Henry Hyde) 4:16 3. Minor Yours (Art Pepper) 7:12 4. Sonny Boy (Jolson-DeSylva-Henderson-Brown) 3:56 5. The Route (Baker-Pepper-Kamuca) 5:04 6. For Minors Only (Jimmy Heath) 5:41 7. Minors Yours (Art Pepper) 6:41 8. Resonant Emotion (Jimmy Heath) 5:41 9. Tynan Time (Art Pepper) 5:31 10. Oicture Of Heath (Jimmy Heath) 6:43 11. For Miles And Miles (Jimmy Heath) 6:24 12. C.T.A (Jimmy Heath) 5:11 The bonus tracks are from "The Route", right? (quoted from Amazon, but looks like Fresh Sound's own blurb) and finally, what about The Route? I have the old Blue Note/EMI/Pacific CD, there's a new one, using the usual cover - tracklist: 1. Halema 2. To Mickey's Memory 3. Slightly Above Moderate 4. Revelation 5. Something For Liza 6. Lucius Lu 7. Worrying The Life Out Of Me 8. Medium Rock 9. To Mickey's Memory (Alternate Take) 10. Jumpin' Off A Clef 11. Chippyin' 12. Pawnee Junction 13. Music To Dance By 14. Line For Lyons Swinging Sweded said above: And I have some more music from that date on the "Young Chet" compilation... and now to confuse things a bit more, there's also this release by our Spanish Friends - another Fresh Sound digipack: This a double disc: Disk: 1 1. Tabu 2. Halema 3. To Mickey's Memory 4. Down 5. I Can't Get Started 6. Revelation 7. Lucius Lou 8. Worryin' the Life out of Me 9. Something for Liza 10. Medium Rock 11. Pawnee Junction Disk: 2 1. Extra Mild 2. Chippyin' 3. It's Only a Paper Moon 4. Music to Dance By 5. Autumn in New York 6. Night on Bop Mountain 7. Slightly Above Moderate 8. Jumpin' off a Clef 9. Line for Lyons 10. Mickey's Memory [Alternate Take] Going from memory, methinks the old Route CD plus Young Chet contained all of that music. What happened with the additional music in the later "generation" of BN/PacJazz/Capitol/EMI CD reissues?

http://www.thestar.com/News/Ideas/article/420953 My little part in that discussion that's been going on about "sexy" pics and record covers being posted here (can't remember where that discussion took part, but I think it started not in the sexiest album covers thread and spread over various threads - oh, and of course I am guilty of having posted there, too... but not for quite a while, methinks).

Congratulations and all the best Rodney! And thanks for letting me in on Ronnie Ross!

c'mon guys, what about Shepp's "Live in San Francisco", "Mama Too Tight", the session with Izenzon, the live set from Newport with Booby? That's a great series of recordings, in my humble opinion - there's more than just "Four for Trane"! Also the NY Contemporary 5! Later/"classicist" Shepp is different... but "Steam" (Enja) is great, so is the Marge/Blue Marge/Futura/whatever Terrones label "Attica Blues Big Band" 2CD set.

Sad news! I only saw very few of his paintings in real but I liked them very, very much.

Wow, I never realized that about the lyrics of Moonlight in Vermont! Will have to check out that Sinatra version some day, sounds fascinating!

The two Merrill/Katz albums are among the best vocal albums ever, in my humble opinion! Terrific music! I have the Gitanes CDs of those (also of "Casa Forte", the Bird/Gershwin album). In addition to those, there were three piano trio albums, by Tommy Flanagan, Roland Hanna and someone else, Al Haig?... All of these (? I only have the Flanagan) also had Merrill sitting in on one song. That would have made for a good Select, I guess! Though possibly it would have been too much for 3 discs... with Casa Forte, the rest should have fit onto 3CDs, though. Anyway, it's good to see these being reissued!

Big for that Cobham trio album above! A mighty fine one! The Zoot Sims w/Dannie Richmond should be this one on Bethlehem: I like it a lot! And I think that McKenna is at least as over the top as is Richmond! Frankly, speeding drummers never really annoyed me (I guess I don't even really notice... well, most of the time I just don't pay attention to that)

I'm very sorry to hear this, Jim, my sincere condolences.

Thanks for confirming - and sorry to hear you missed out on hearing him (again, I guess?) in recent years. I have one of his Splasc(h) discs, "Supposing That..." - will play it again in the next days.

maybe some of the Italian posters here can shed some more light? porcy?
