  1. Hmm - I wonder what is the best way to go. I've already bought And All Those Cats (on LP), so I will be extra cautious before picking up these other releases. It looks like there are several ways to do this, but if you have And All Those Cats and Calypso Blues, you don't need Companionship. Conversely perhaps Calypso Blues and Companionship make All Those Cats redundant (didn't check as carefully). In either case, there does not appear to be much overlap with Music for the Small Hours, so I should go ahead and get that. Thanks for checking that! How about the Griffin - how much of it is new? And what about "Seeds", isn't part of that on "All Those Cats" also? "Swing Waltz Swing" then, would that have been on the "All That Strauss" disc (which I don't have)? Anyway, this definitely is great news, also on "Golden Eight", "Jazz Is Universal" and "Handle With Care", none of which I have!
  2. CD2 - great! CD3 now - still enjoying it very, very much! one small complaint: the session by session notes are lousy, staying very much on the surface. And calling John Sanders "and another trombone" is a bit respectless, I found.
  3. CD2 - great! CD3 now - still enjoying it very, very much!
  4. and while I'm at it: Yusef Lateef - The Fabric of Jazz Yusef Lateef - Prayer to the East
  5. Yusef Lateef - Jazz for Thinkers
  6. Lateef - The Dreamer
  7. Happy Birthday, Jim! :party:
  8. sad news - r.i.p.
  9. followed with CD2 yesterday - mighty great stuff! now: discs 2 and 3 of the Mingus Debut box - the Massey Hall concert - drum solo, the trio set and the original tapes, which I've never heard before... with the bass boosted up a bit, they sound fine, though that interplay of his original and the newly overdubbed bass phrases, I think on "All the Things You Are", is of course a treat as well!
  10. Thanks, I appreciate that!
  11. up - anyone can help?
  12. Wow, Stanko & Harper!? Not a match I'd ever have thought of!
  13. Yeah well, I wondered why this english club football was even on Swiss tv... I guess as sort of a consolation for the european championship?
  14. you're invited over if you like... another friend already announced he'll drop by with some beer, too
  15. I tried to stick my head up my ass so hard that I got a hernia now...
  16. Good news on the new trio disc! The soundtrack disc isn't new - maybe a re-pressing?
  17. fell for Newbury again... shipping is almost as much as the discs themselves... but still quite cheap! 1 of Collaboration: West [Audio CD] Teddy Charles with Shorty Rogers 1 of Leroy Walks! [Audio CD] Leroy Vinnegar Sextet 1 of Leroy Walks Again!! [Audio CD] Leroy Vinnegar Quintet 1 of Mad Thad [Audio CD] Jones, Thad 1 of Good N' Groovy [Audio CD] Newman, Joe 1 of Swingville [Audio CD] Coleman Hawkins All Stars 1 of Jive at Five [Audio CD] Joe Newman Quintet; Frank Wess; Tommy Flanagan 1 of The Beat Goes On! [Audio CD] Criss, Sonny in two helpings to make sure I'm clean on taxes...
  18. and if I hit "get a new identity", here's what came up next: the browser and windows version remains correct, btw. (I let it run though "Opera @ USB" if I want to surf disguised... not using that for the purpose of browsing Org, of course... also it's not good for downloading, as it brings speed down to a third or even a fourth - that's the prize you have to pay for this I assume relative at best, anonymity...)
  19. There's some little software you can install to prevent this kind of thing.... but you'll need a different browser and it will slow down speed considerably... For me, the imgs from bluerein look quite accurate, but the ones I get with the other browser is quite hilarious: (sorry can't put up a larger img that's under 100 MB)
  20. Ciao Ubu, How is the Byrd/Gryce 3 cd set? Thanks, Dr. Jeff The music's fine of course! But it's a bit weirdly programmed (not chronologically). I haven't been through all of it, but have played about two thirds of it. Don't expect me to give any nuanced reports about sound, but it never sounded particularly bad or weird to me. Sad that such fine music isn't being released by the legitimate owners!
  21. Well, I sent them an email with this suggestion... I'd love to see these albums getting treated right! But I guess indeed with Fresh Sound in the game, chances aren't that good.
