Giuffre's "7 Pieces" has been reissued on CD on one of those new Spanish (?) operations (Jazz Track, Jazz something) - it contains some bonus tracks, where are they from? Here's the info for that session (from jazzdisco.org): Jimmy Giuffre Trio Jimmy Giuffre (cl, ts, bars) Jim Hall (g) Red Mitchell (b) Los Angeles, CA, February 23 & 25, March 2, 1959 25057-28 The Happy Man Verve MGV 8307 25058-16 Princess - 25059-13 Song Of The Wing - 25060-6 Lovely Willow - 25061-2 The Little Melody - 25062-1 The Story - 25063-5 Time Machine - * The Jimmy Giuffre 3 - Seven Pieces (Verve MGV 8307, MGVS 6039) and here's the setlist of the CD (from Amazon): 1. Happy Man 2. Princess 3. Song Of The Wind 4. Lovely Willow 5. The Little Melody 6. The Story 7. Time Machine 8. Two Degrees East, Three Degrees We T 9. Four Brothers 10. Princess 11. Careful

I thought I'd rather pull this thread back to life than post about the music in the r.i.p.-thread. Played some of the Mosaic again, after reading about Giuffre's death. The second of the Capitol album is astonishing! The first, "Four Brothers", is a bit of a mixed bag, but the last of its three sessions already has the band of the second album, "Tangents in Jazz", in place: Jack Sheldon, Ralph Pena and Artie Anton (never heard of that guy other than his appearance here). For all those who missed out on the Mosaic (it was one of the first I got!), this album's available on Membran's cheapo "Original Longplay Albums" series, as is the very first one: Detailed info here (select "Original Longplay" under the respective title, then "Labelcopy" to get the discography of the albums). Now I also just played Giuffre's astonishing first Atlantic album, "The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet", but then that one is well known as a cornerstone, it seems, while "Tangents" isn't mentioned very often, alas.

oh man... I missed ordering the Nkosis... and I don't see another order coming up too soon, either I did order "cool down", though!

Yup! I have it, but I'm in the midst of re-organizing my CDs (and books - all on the same shelves...) so I can't find it... but doesn't it say in the liners that it was the first of some kind of series? Nothing ever came out after, right?

I can hear them all, at low volume on my notebook (no headphones) with the fan making lots of noise and the Mulligan CJB on in the next room... guess I use my ipod with reason, most often...

He's been unable to play for a loooong time - very sad. Will dig up the Mosaic again.

The Randy Weston Select - not into the prev. unreleased session on disc 2 - great great music! Hawkins wailing on Hi-Fly is just plain crazy!!!

...cursed, kicked myself and applied self-flagellation a la Max Mosley... He he, sure you put on your olde SS uniform to do so!? (Why are all these formula 1 bosses nazis? His predecessor was in some kind of French SS troup, I read somewhere...) Clunky: you'll enjoy! I haven't made my way to the end of the Manone dates yet, but what I've heard was all quite good!

ah well, I'm at work so I didn't google too long for that... but I'll try and finally grab a DVD of "Blow Up" for the real thing some day... (I've seen it on the big screen of course, but it would be nice to have it handy at home!)

joyeux anniversaire!

any connection to mods?

Happy Birthday!

Congratulations, Allison & Jim! And all the best to the four of you!

Happy Birthday, Erik! :party:

Thanks guys - family celebrations and gifts upcoming (though I'm afraid the one wish I was granted didn't arrive in time... the Sonny Stitt Prestige box!)

hey, it gets even better here! thanks everyone! and hey, though we might be split personalities, one thread would really do! -_-

Yes, it was wonderful indeed! And I feel very lucky to have finally seen Randy live! Oh, and Neil Clarke never really struck me as such a masterly player on disc... it's much more Randy's gig when they're in the studio, it seems... live they were very much a trio, even to the point that I'd sometimes wished Randy to take some longer solos or longer intros or whatever... but then he played a long and marvellous blues solo on Berkshire Blues... so no complainin', no Sir!

Another round of thanks to everyone! Ha, good one, Chris! What the hell has this got to do with Switzerland? Though a google search also turned up this little chestnut: he he he

Yes! And while the 2CD set doesn't give complete track-by-track line-ups, it has an extensive booklet coming along, with synopsis etc. Very nice package!

Thanks everyone! I'll lay it low tonight... caught Randy Weston's trio last night, very very good! Not many plans to celebrate, just some dinner at my folks tomorrow night (my sister's birthday is two days earlier, so usually there's some kind of family reunion around this time...)

Wow, two threads this time!?! Thanks a lot, everybody! Won't celebrate much, but heard Randy Weston last night and it was a great, great concert!

Solo - and that club he's playing usually is reliable with their information. The night after he's scheduled to play solo in Basel as well, so I guess he's on a small solo tour, I didn't check his website, though. Weston did play in trio w/Alex Blake and Neil Clarke - wow, this was one hell of a great concert! The three of them really enjoyed themselves, and Blake went berserk over his double bass (playing seated on a normal chair!), doing flamenco-guitar-like wild stuff. Clarke is a master drummer! Weston could have taken some more space for himself, but he, too, played great. They did the usual "greatest hits": Little Niles, Hi-Fly, Berkshire Blues, Blue Moses, Mystery of Love, African Cookbook, and one or two more, plus a terrific encore that he didn't announce and I didn't recognise (or rather I did, but couldn't identify).

There's been some interest in the Keynote CD box again, I have this PDF with bare-bones CD covers on my HD, can't remember where I got it from: http://rapidshare.com/files/108041067/KeynoteCollection.pdf Also sorry for never cleaning up the first post... simply haven't had time for that

Just to make it clear: I have the CDs of all those, but of course if there's only the LP to be had, I'll take it as well! Keep me posted if you see it anywhere, please!

There's some Roulette and Enrica albums - don't know who owns Enrica masters. Great musicians both! And no Mosaic boxes. But none of these are modernists MG No, of course not, but that's the usual thread drift... Carter had about a disc's worth in the Capitol box (great stuff, of course!).
