hoses?

I wasn't even aware he's still around, but Pedro Iturralde did two albums, combined onto a fine EMI Spain CD in the 90s, likely OOP by now, but worth looking for! (EMI Spain also released his 70s quartet album with Hampton Hawes, just in case...)

That can happen for whatever reason, losing connection, RS having a server down for an hour while you're in the midst of downloading - just delete the partial file and try again later!

Ok, thing is, this is ONE file, split up automatically into three each. So you can't unpack the second or third, usually, but you have to grab ALL THREE files, then open the first, hit extract, and ALL the tracks from all three files will unpack! It worked perfectly well for me, with these same links/files - I don't think anything could have happened to these files after you'd put them up to RS, Berigan!

Sure, just send me a PM with your Address! Maybe i have misread him but according to Dan, there is a way to take the files into the computer and put them ourselves into a CD. You have gone to all this trouble to take the time to participate , choosing the music and all the techno stuff that comes with it and i say thank you. So i'll try to do the rest without giving you more work and avoid having to spend money on shipping fees. all you have to do is: open the first file (with winrar - free download on www.rarlab.com, the trial version will remain fully working except for a pop-up that will appear after a few weeks), hit the "extract" button, choose the location, and in that folder you'll find the single tracks as WMA-files. You should be able to burn them, or put them onto an MP3 playing device, or in the worst case you're at least able to play them on the computer if you can't figure out the rest...

Woody Herman Select, discs 2 & 3 still waiting for the package that shall bring me the Hodges and the Prima/Manone... cross your fingers!

how about that guy, Allen Lowe?

hm, no wait... the Burrell - the one I'd like to find is the Village Vanguard trio thing (the one that's now reissued again but minus all the bonus material) - wasn't that one also part of this series?

Thanks, I almost thought so... I'd love to find the Burrell! How are the Basie and Donaldsons?

Chessmates (GRP) George Russell: Jazz in the Space Age (Decca) Kenny Dorham & the Jazz Prophets James Moody: Moody's Mood for Love (Argo) Lou Donaldson: Fried Buzzard (Argo) Count Basie - Straight Ahead Max Roach - Max! (Argo) Kenny Burrell - Ode to 52nd Street Al Cohn & Zoot Sims - Al And Zoot Quincy Jones - Go West, Man! Introducing Roland Kirk what else?

hm, the James Moody (Overbrook) is complete, the Zoot Sims and Art Farmers had two tunes from the second album missing, what other releases were done in that series?

reading Ludwik Fleck's sociological (actually "wissenssoziologisch") books: plus another one collecting some short essays. funny discussion above... that book also frightened the shit out of me when I was a kid... and my little sister was a thumb-sucker... here's the cover for the german edition (with original name, too...)

There was a great thread on the BNBB about the various Chess series (there are also those "almost twofers" where Keepnews omitted two tracks off the second album included, usually). If someone could post that thread, that would be way cool, I don't have any saved old threads, alas.

Last night: disc 1 of the JSP Lang/Venuti box - not all too bad, but I do think these 4CDs will do it for me and I'll do my best not to regret having missed out on the Mosaic. I wonder, who did the remastering for the JSP? Some names are always mentioned (Kendall etc.) but nothing is stated here.

Guess you must have missed the fine print that said '$22 per cd additional shipping charge to Germany, Luxembourg & France' phew, I'm lucky then!

sure, do a google search, certainly some photos that show up are familiar! such as this here: thanks for all that scanning work, will have to save some of these (they don't display at work, where much of my org reading these days is done...)

here's a better discographical entry from the Warne Marsh discography: So the quintet part of this date was never originally issued at all? Or rather, the 70s Contemporary album was the first issue of it?

What I thought seing the thread title... too much hardbop around anyway

Sent you a PM regarding some 32 jazz releases!

just picked up two packages from the mailbox - three more OJCs: Clifford Jordan "Bearcat" & Johnny Griffin "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me" from Newbury's and the first of two from DVDlegacy (via Priceminister - finally!), "Jackie McLean & Co." Now waiting for the Charles McPherson w/Carmell Jones from the same DVDlegacy/Priceminister order... and of course for the big Mosaic package with the Hodges and Prima/Manone!

Yes, those twofer album reissues are indeed strange... we discussed them before, somewhere. About the Getz sessions: Quartets and Prezervation are among the re-pressed Universal/Concord OJCs, I got both in that incarnation. They're a mess. I assume I'll eventually piece the instrumental tracks together chronologically onto a CDR. Or make a 2CDR set including the Brothers session and the Raney one from "Early Stan". Those, to me, would have been ideal sessions to sort out for reissue, instead of reissuing the old chaotic albums, but I guess to the album fetishists, even those paste jobs are holy...

that would be a great idea, really... for instance a 2CD set of the Gryce albums w/Williams (I struggled to find all of them for a while, they're fine!), or they could do something about the Jackie McLean sessions (though most of us will have most of them by now, I guess...), or even less obvious/famous guys like Bennie Green, hell why not!? I still need to get "Very Saxy", I confess... that's one of the effects of discs being around forever: I feel no urge to get them - in fact I behaved like that with much of the Fantasy catalogue, and my wallet and to some extent stomach suffered quite a bit in the last year as I was trying to catch up as good as possible before the Condord raid really hit. A short but very positive PS: the yurpeen distributor (UMG) of what was the Fantasy catalogue is still occasionally re-printing titles that pop up in sales here (and in sales only, they don't have them in stock, they are clueless anyway, but so am I in this case, as there's no good and up to date info about these reissue activities on the web, as far as I know), anway, those of late included the great "When Farmer Met Gryce", which is a rather unobvious choice, I'd say... of course it's not done with RVGs compression, either, just the old OJC complete with the OJC-logo on the front cover, but with a different serial number on the tray and back of the booklet, and with the UMG logo on there somewhere, too. I must own at least 50 of those UMG-Fantasy (for the sake of simplicity... they're actually Prestige, Riverside, Pablo, Contemporary, whatever labels) reissues by now.

ok, we discussed it before the stupid intermezzo in page 2 - now I got "The Way It Was" (plus "Smack Up"), finally, and I see that while in contains two alternate takes from the 1956 session, it misses "Avalon", "Warnin'" and "Stompin' at the Savoy" from that date's quintet session. What's the deal with it? So once more I'm glad I did get the pirates' version, too (in this case Lone Hill's "Complete Free Wheelin' Session", which also contains the sextet part of the session with Ted Brown (and Jeff Morton in Gary Frommer's place on drums). Here's the listing from jazzdisco.org: Why doesn't "The Way It Was", at least in its CD incarnation, include the three missing titles?

Thanks, Mr. Swede! So disc 1 is almost completely covered by the cheapo box I have, but the rest would be new, and of course a much nicer package... will have to think about it!
