Maybe it's this german TV appearance: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xy2mh_can...n-tv-1963_music The recording on that site is from my VHS collection, but I did not upload it there. It's 24 minutes long. The complete TV show could have been longer. I would be happy to have it complete and in the usual Jazz Icons quality. I can't access that link but I assume you're talking of the "Jazz gehört & gesehen" show hosted by J.E. Berendt? I would rather think that Jazz Icons would not use that show. That was a long-standing series of jazz on TV (also including the Dolphy show and I think a 1963 Coltrane show, both well-known on boot releases or in trading circles). As far as I know, there's no more music from those "Jazz gehört & gesehen" shows - some of them have been aired on radio in one-hour shows which were filled up with other stuff after the 24 or 25 minutes were done (at least just this Adderley was on radio last year or the year before that). So let's rather hope they found yet another great unknown recording!

well, three weeks beats Mosaic...

Someone reported in a thread I can't remember that the Hep site was down. I was planning on going for the Teddy Wilsons. MG I read that, too - seems it's up again: http://www.hepjazz.com/

Is this used store in Zurich? If so, would you mind to disclose the name and location of this store? Thanks. He he, should I? As I won't be able to buy all I want anyway, yes of course! It's Silverdisc (Limmatstrasse, Tramhaltestelle Dammweg, eins vor Escher-Wyss-Platz). Most of the discs are not displayed but the guy there let me check them myself in their backoffice. Cost is 14 CHF per disc - not that cheap, but good enough, considering they're new or almost new (one had some writing in the CD list inside the booklet, though... doesn't bother me too much, but if it bothers you you might want to check thoroughly. The earlier 6 Basie discs are by the way still available from Abeillemusique for 25 euro... just sent in an order there, myself, though I have all of that music already on various CDs and CDRs... now I miss said 1941 volume plus the Neatworks. Just in case: what I remember is: large chunks of Ellington, Calloway, Krupa, Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson (I think I'll rather go for the Heps there, if I ever get them all... I have the Billie Holiday box, so I have many of those sides already). It's pure overkill, but you're bound to find some great stuff there, I'm sure! And make sure you also check the displayed discs, some Classics are in there, they just stock up whenever some other discs are sold and the have more space in their display shelves.

found a goldmine of used and new (shrink-wrapped) Chronological Classics at a used store... ouch ouch ouch... about four metres of discs! took the plunge for most of the late 30s Ellingtons I still missed (one they didn't have, "1940"), the second part of the Basies (again I still miss one, "1941"), and then ten or eleven Satchmos (1929-1946, I had 1930-31 already), covering the RCA and Deccas following the Hot Fives, two Chick Webbs, the Buster Bailey, the Jabbo Smith, the first Stuff Smith, the first Dizzy Gillespie, two Andy Kirk's (had one, I think that makes for the three earliest ones), and a couple of others.

oh well, still so many goodies around, I must have bought 200 OJCs at least, since the ZYX deal ran out and zweitausendeins had their huge sales, then last year's Concord sale, tons from Newbury... add the boxes (Bill Evans, Dexter, Mingus Debut, Joe Henderson) and I guess it's closer to 400 than 200... crazy... yet here's what I just ordered: Booker Ervin, Pony Poindexter & Larry Young Gumbo! PRCD-24229-2IN STOCK 1 CD$13.98 Frank Foster Fearless Frank Foster OJCCD-923-2IN STOCK 1 CD$8.98 Eric Kloss Sky Shadows In The Land Of The Giants PRCD-24217-2IN STOCK 1 CD$13.98 Eric Kloss & The Rhythm Section Eric Kloss & The Rhythm Section PRCD-24125-2IN STOCK 1 CD$13.98 Shelly Manne Shelly Manne & His Men, Vol. 2 OJCCD-1910-2IN STOCK 1 CD$10.98 Shelly Manne Vol. 4: Swinging Sounds OJCCD-267-2IN STOCK 1 CD$8.98 Max Roach Quartet Featuring Hank Mobley OJCCD-202-2IN STOCK 1 CD$8.98 Johnny Griffin Change Of Pace OJCCD-1922-2 23 bucks for shipping, almost made up by the 20% off - that option I think (USPS instead of UPS or DHL or whatever they use) is only there for international orders below 100$, possibly? (I had the cart filled with a 400$ order last week just to see how many things I'd still like to get... several of the ones in this list though I think had been OOP already before they "found" more and did last year's sale, and hence I assume some of these will soon be gone again... and I skipped others that I thought would be around longer, but then how could I know...) I also found two Lem Winchesters in a used store last week, the yellow one with Golson and "Another Opus" (great cover on the later!)

http://jazzlabels.klacto.net/xanadu.html plenty of good looking stuff there!

just sent in my order for the following seven: Bra Ntemi - At Mavuthela - Vol.1 1975, At Mavuthela - Vol.2 1975, At Teal Records 1976 African Jazz Pioneers - Sip 'n' Fly Masilela/Phale - Cool Down Winston Mankunku - Yakhal'inkomo Robbie Jansen - Nomad Jez some items are listed with ten days delivery time, so if Kalahari works like amazon AND the shipping takes two months, I'll report back in summer

The EMI/Americans Swinging CD reissue? American's Swinging CD. To close and hard sounding, but not as unpleasant as I remembered. Nevertheless some exciting playing from Slide, Kuhn's 'singing' is a turn off. Thanks for checking it again - I hope this one comes through. Slide is an undersung musician, I still remember listening to this disc in a store when the whole series came out and I loved it... totally forgot about checking up on their status in time, but I hope it's not too late yet.

:excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: (just because even numbers never look good - you don't buy two or four roses for your misses, do you? )

Cuscuna himself did produce some fairly adventurous sessions in the 70s for Freedom/Arista whatever... of course more than just Braxton! There's the Andrew Hill "Spiral" for instance, with Ted Curson and Lee Konitz - I'm sure there'd be more music beyond post-bop/modern mainstream from the 70s that would be great to have in Mosaic sets (or maybe just Selects, as I assume costs and exposure/risk are smaller with Selects? How about a Sam Noto Muse/Xanadu Select? One of the major bad blogs has upped several of these albums - maybe even all of them - as vinyl rips, I'd definitely buy a CD reissue of those! All hail 32 Jazz no matter how bad the late Joel Dorn was as a business man...)

Pooh gosh, that IS obscure! Is it available on the Continent? MG I've seen it in two local stores this week - should I run and grab it? What is it? (I know Hal Singer's OJC, nothing else... never heard of Gilson)

Ordered several discs from EMI's "Americans Swinging in Paris" series, which I only just noticed is OOP by now, from various marketplace sellers on French and German amazon: Kenny Clarke Lucky Thompson both Bill Colemans (hopefully the sellers have logged them correctly and I don't end up with two of the same...) Zoot Byas Sammy Price Phil Woods Slide Hampton Lionel Hampton Decided to skip the Memphis Slim, Golden Gate Quartet, Earl Hines, Wild Bill Davis and Mezzrow. The Cat Anderson is gone, and the other four (Art Ensemble, Dicky Wells, Benny Carter & James Moody) I already have. Weird little series, not nearly as good as it could have been... (short discs, weird compilations, including sessions included on too many similar compilations already)

The EMI/Americans Swinging CD reissue?

I've got very little Moody, but that piques my attention. What is it? MG Hm, from what I know about your taste, you should like the Chess/Argo CD (expanded from the vinyl, hence get the CD!) "At the Jazz Workshop", which features his working unit in a smoking concert recording. His band go back to those "little big band" working groups in earlier years, like Illinois Jacquet's, with a couple of horns and some music to please the crowds, yet always very well executed.

I can't find the thread dedicated to this reissue series, "Americans Swinging in Paris" (EMI) - I know there was one, but a board search finds nothing and a google search while finding a thread only comes through as broken link... the search function continues to suck*! *) phrase searches or title only searches or "+XX +YY" searches only deliver a small part of what should be found!

Thanks, my order is still pending, will mail it in in a few days though and will look for Jansen and Gwangwa, too!

Very cool idea! There'd still be a lot of good 70s mainstream jazz to rescue, no? Muse, Xanadu etc, filling the gaps that 32 Jazz left, or rather also bringing back all the long gone albums taken care of by 32 Jazz (a Woody Shaw box would be marvellous, though I do own all the 32 Jazz reissues, and it seems the CBS Shaw set was one of the slowest selling sets ever).

Thanks a lot for posting that review! Makes me want to hear the two albums again, but alas my record player's not installed at this time (or rather it's still at my parents' place - I need a new one anway...)

Here's Rick Lopez' crazy Rivers sessionography: http://www.bb10k.com/RIVERS.disc.html

Conference of the Birds is a classic, of course! There's another sideman album that came to my mind: the Jason Moran one on Blue Note, "Black Stars" - not bad.

There are plenty of other threads but no general one (I assume lots of Rivers music was discussed already in those threads, though). I have the Mosaic - it's merely a prelude, fine though it is. The Impulse sessions should be out in a more comprehensive fashion. The LPR is fine (Crystals), the "Trio Live" or whatever it was called was good as well. "Streams" is great but I don't have it (I think it was on CD in the early GRP days). One of the most astonishing discs I know of his is "Portrait", his solo outing on FMP. He plays all of his instruments (tenor, soprano, piano & flute) and does some short (10 seconds or so) vocalising while changing from one horn to the other or adjusting his piano stool. The two LPs he did in duo with Dave Holland are fine, though not albums I play all that often. Other LPs I have (why aren't there more CD reissues of his albums?) and like are "Paragon" (Fluid - one of my top favourites), "Rendez-Vous"(Red), which pairs him with Italian alto player Mario Schiano, then there's his ECM "Contrasts" (with George Lewis) and "Waves" (with that Daley chap on tuba) - all or most of these feature the Rivers/Holland/Altschul trio as core unit. The RCA big band albums from the late 90s (Inspiration & Culmination) I'm not quite sure what to make of. I like them (as I like more recent live shows with the UK and Austrian RivBea Orchestras from London, Diersbach's Inntöne festival, wherever) but I don't play them often. Last thing I also have is "Tangens" his FMP duo with Schlippenbach - need to spin it again, can't say anything about it right now.

A sad reminder that JAW and Chaney left... D.D., too - he just vanished... I'm less and less listening non-mainstream music as has been discussed in this thread (the same was the case even more so with JAW), but I still attend live concerts mostly in this direction (or free jazz or whatever you want to call it... just stuff that would have most org-posters running away screaming). Here's the mail I got a few days ago from Potlatch: I'm not familiar with these two (Guionnet may be on some live show I have, though), but the Potlatch label is a fine outfit - it has been discussed in this thread before, and I posted some about it on my blog last year: http://ubu-space.blogspot.com/2007/06/potl...sale-order.html http://ubu-space.blogspot.com/2007/06/potl...-2007-sale.html

aw, shit... I figured I was about done with getting the best of OJCs and other Fantasy discs...

yeah well, he hung it out now and then, didn't he? that was him, right? the Debut session is in the big Mingus 12 CD debut box, i assume? and the Mitchell Bethlehem session will be a partial one only (some of that album was in trio) the Sheldon date is fine what about the Kenny Drew, that one was on a BN CD, right? never heard it... are those Gibbs Contemporary albums worth looking for? all of them (assuming the one[s?] with Maini being one of those Dream Band volumes)?
