  1. 1 of 10 is otherwise also known as 10%, so go figure... The Dexter is fine! Though several of us yurpeens will fondly remember the crazy months when the ZYX license ran out and zweitausendeins was selling it for much less dollari. Those were the days!
  2. Yes, that's the one I have! Fine one indeed! 't was on the beeb and hence it's out there
  3. Hm, I have one of those great 70s Wheeler albums that were reissued on - I think - Evan Parker's label, the one with Derek Bailey jamming with the band on one track, amazing stuff! That's one of the albums I think where Sulzmann makes a sideman appearance. I still need the expensive ECM... in fact I'd need more Wheeler anyway!
  4. A favourite of mine for many years. His 'On Loan With Gratitude' is one of the great lost discs of the 70s. The opening track used to be the theme tune of 'Jazz Today' at one stage. His surname is also impossible to spell - I have to check every time! Sulzmann....I want to insert a 't' or dock an 'n'. yeah, but then you're not from Workshop either... I've heard little Sulzmann, but I enjoyed that - is there any "classic" album of his that one should get? Or even better, a recent good one?

    Funny Rat

    you see, that's why this thread is *really* called the "funny rat" - this is about dried rat dogs and peruvian guinea pigs... and some such...
  6. what the hell is this, an oldage home? I am 13, but then I was 7 when I was born almost (hey, but not quite yet!) 30 years ago...
  7. You could be right. Reelin' In The Years Productions LLC is the largest music footage library in the world, housing over 10,000 hours of performances from all genres of music covering the last 50 years. We exclusively represent the rights to all of the music footage contained within 30 television stations throughout Europe, Australia and Japan and are able to license that material to all forms of media. Thanks for posting that... that's what I remembered, only I wasn't aware of Australia and Japan being mentioned, too!
  8. 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. Thanks very much. I appreciate your unselfish attitude. you'll have to do burns of all the discs I won't be able to get now because you're wealthier than me... that was int eh fine-print in the previous post, didn't you see? The fine-print was too fine-printed, thus it did not appear on my computer screen. Just out of curiosity: Why do you assume that I am wealthier than you? well, I'm a student (though with an ok paying part-time job) and you're 15 years older... but then you have family... stupid thing to post anyway, sorry! -_-
  9. I've only had three of the first series from the library, don't own any, but doesn't it say somewhere in the booklets that the series IS specifically done to unearth treasures from the European broadcasting companies?
  10. Hm, but the Lugano set is out on TCB and is longer there (I don't have the disc, but I think it's an hour or so). No idea how the legal situation is... TCB has that one in their "Swiss Radio Days" series, which is one the best legally cleared series out ther of non-public domain radio recordings. I assume the series is so small as it's so difficult to release these recordings... Whatever it will contain, it will be great! That band with Lateef and Zawinul is my favourite Adderley band ever!

    Funny Rat

    Fair enough to you too Cifford well, to others it's half a sandwich or just about one beer...
  13. 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!
  14. well, three weeks beats Mosaic...
  15. 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/

  17. 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.
  18. 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!)
  19. http://jazzlabels.klacto.net/xanadu.html plenty of good looking stuff there!
  20. 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

    Slide Hampton

    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.
  22. :excited: :excited: :excited: :excited: (just because even numbers never look good - you don't buy two or four roses for your misses, do you? )
  23. 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...)
  24. 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)
