king ubu

hm, I must have missed this thread before... been a Dylan fan a few years before starting with jazz, and always kept loving his music. last night I caught "I'm Not There", finally (Cate Blanchett is terrific! The young boy is quite a treat, too... Gere is as lame as always, but he sort of fits in nicely... oh, and of course there's Charlotte Gainsbourg, too... drool...) anyway, the 65/66 albums remain my most cherished, other favourites being Blood, Desire, John Wesley Harding, Love and Theft... but also New Morning, the Basement Tapes (I think I only have the official version, but I'll have to dig into all those Dylan boots I've downloaded in recent years), Time Out of Mind and Oh Mercy. One of the more astonishing things is that even on weak albums like that one ugly 80s thing, there's a very good song, like in that case the beautiful "Dark Eyes". I'll have to replace my 80s CD of "Desire" - brings to mind I've never upgraded andy of those old Dylan CDs (I have most of them, except for Pat Garrett - seen the Peckinpah film though, good one -, Dylan, Self-Portrait, Street Legal and the other christian one... Slow Train I have and quite like, but it's not his "natural" sound, though it's a great sound, what with the memphis horns etc)

yesterday: Art Farmer/Gigi Gryce - When Farmer Met Gryce (Concord/Universal OJC) Red Garland - Red Garland's Piano (RVG) Pat Martino - El Hombre (RVG) good to see an album like the Farmer/Gryce getting re-printed by the new owners/distributors! today, if it's still at the shop: the Dizzy Gillespie Philips Mosaic, for about the Mosaic prize or even a bit less, with some discount I have - and no crazy shipping costs and no taxes either...

hey there, Big Al! sorry for not following up earlier, but I did enjoy our collective chanting here

Herman Capitol disc 3 - to be continued with discs 4-6

Happy Birthday, Garth! :party: (I just played a nice recent live broadcast of McCoy Mrubata's!)

Happy Birthday! :party:

PM sent, looking forward!

today: Roy Eldridge discs 6 & 7 then to prepare for the newly arrived Herman Select, the V-Disc 2CD Hep set

phew, just got my shipping confirmation (not exactly... but that mail were they state that the order has completed and will ship within 24 hours...) :excited:

anything goes

I'll do, thanks! Wasn't aware of that recent good prize, but I think half.com doesn't ship internationally anyway... Now I'm looking forward a lot to getting the Hodges and Prima/Manone, though (I still wait for a shipping confirmation, though...)

Enjoy!

This is an excellent list! Yup, sad that J.A.W. has left this place... not that I know much about blues, but I have a print out of that list somewhere, just in case I ever feel like exploring more of this!

Yes, that's what I'm hoping for - the Rich has never been up for a good prize so far, has it? That one will be 80 or 90% new to me! And it should be marvellous! Did you also get the Lang/Venuti? I decided to take a pass, but I guess I'll regret it... will eventually get the JSP at least.

Yes, I'll sure get the Nelson, but I just bought the Quincy, ordered the Herman Select and the Hodges and Prima/Manone, and a friend who dislikes organ is unhappy with the Gerald Wilson... and the Dizzy is in a local store, too, though not for as good a prize as the Quincy... and the tax office has been waiting for months already, so...

I think that's correct, yes. Has anyone seen the Rich in a European/Universal edition, btw? I still miss that one, the Nelson and the Gillespie, never saw them at a really convincing prize (I missed out on the Nelson on UK amazon a few months back, alas)! Oh, and will these newer Universal sets also "time out", even though Universal is also distributing a share? Would that mean of an edition of say 5000, that Universal presses 1000 themselves and Mosaic does like 2000 and when the years have passed, Universal who holds the right will not re-press or as before not let Mosaic re-press the missing 2000? And one last thing about Euro-Mosaics: the Quincy Jones (it's very good!) has even glossier and thicker paper than I ever saw - each and every page is thick enough to be the cover of some glossy magazine... almost crazy! Have the latest US Mosaics also got thicker booklets, or is this one an exception?

Happy Birthday, Wes! :party: Any new Mosaics? Do stick around!

Quincy Jones - discs 2-5 (towards the end of disc 3 by now), maybe after that disc 1, too (i know what's on that one)

Thanks a lot, my cellphone will beep in three weeks to remind me of it

I've never heard "Sweet Rain" so far... sort of always kept waiting for a reissue, didn't grab it (neither the Hamp/Getz) even in local sales, I assume new reissues are unlikely, so at the next occasion I'll pick both of them up!

I remember that when it was running low, Ogun/Cadillac were running out of covers - so some were sold cut-rate without artwork. Yes, I got one of those (thanks to a board member, too) - would anyone be able to offer scans of the missing cover? I asked for that before, I think, with no reaction at all. All I have is a b/w xerox copy of bad quality, you can hardly read it - of course all the info is on the EFI page, but it would still be nice to have a cover for it! It's disc 1 I'd need a scan for, would be very happy if anyone could help! I'd be happy to do that, King Ubu, if you can wait another three weeks. Work is bedlam at the moment - when we get to Easter I'll have the time. Yes, time is not a matter at all, I'll be very glad, whenever you get to it, thanks a lot!

Yes, nothing that changed my life, but it is nice to finally have gotten a chance to hear the Dameron session!

Sent in my order for both today!
