into disc 4 by now - very enjoyable! I could do with a bit less Vido Musso and less of the boy singer, too - Christy on the other hand Finished the 43-47 box - great one! never made it all the way through before, and I have to say I liked it a lot this time!

nothing remastered, by the way - and crappy print quality as far as booklets go. also there has been that discussion that led me to believe the euro version of the Lateef LPR/Original (Psychicemotus) was different (less good) from the US version... that much for "(suspisciously) friendly" - misguiding rather if this is indeed one of their slaves...

So UMG has given in to the stupid re-packagaging they've started over here a year or so ago... these "XXX Originals" have replaced the LPRs and other series over here, quite a while ago. Seems by now it's not much more that's left than just this and one more new series (I've started threads about both or at least mentioned both several times when they were new over here). Smart strategy, I must say! As for Sam Rivers, I guess "Trio Live" is in the collections of most who'd ever buy it anyway... they could rather reissue some other Rivers stuff, such as the live one from Montreux (Streams, Stream, Steam? Something like that). And yes, of course, more Marion Brown, or the Ornettes (I know I know, he doesn't want them to be released... but still if we're dreaming anyway, let me dream this dream).

What a pity Mosaic didn't issue this fabulous collection on CD... Yeah, and the least they could have done is keep one of each of the LP sets for me, for the time I found out about Mosaic... or even better, a couple of more years, until I'd have had the knowledge and some money.

Stan Kenton - Capitol 1943-47 - disc 2 by now - some fine June Christy here! (never managed to find the Holman/Russo box, but I guess i have most of that on individual Blue Note/Capitol CD reissues by now)

Thanks in advance!

I've been thinking about purchasing a copy of the Crispell duo CD (which has been on sale at Berkshire Record Outlet for a very reasonable price for quite some time). If it "grabs" you next time around, please let us know... I'll try to remember... I've got another one, "Inheritance" - looks almost as cheap as a boot... it's got Geri Allen on piano with the great Hopkins/Moye rhythm section... got to play that one again soon, too!

I *finally* got this one yesterday from Honest Jon's. I've only played it 3 times but I'm loving it. Thanks for the recommendation. Yeah - this is a nice one! Lots of great Dudu. And some fine Caribbean drumming! I'm glad y'all dig this one, because it's about as far on the periphery of Funny Rat territory as any Funny Rat-interest album could be. It's interesting to consider just how advanced some of the folks on this album were at that time (Dudu, Chris McGregor, Ronnie Beer), recording what is for all intents and purposes a specialty pop album. Having listened to the Brotherhood, the Blue Notes, and Dudu and Chris's leader work, Mbaqanga Songs is so inside it's outside ( :rsly: ). Holy crap, too bad I had to read the rat again tonight... just sending in an order for the Gwigwi and the first two of the "London is the Place" comps - wanted the second of those for a while... the other two look good as well (the Ethiopian!), but I thought I'd proceed chronologically...

and a special french version:

I thought I'd add some colour

Roscoe on the other hand...

There are also his early albums on Delmark ("Song For" I have, it's ok, there's another one, I think). I never felt like checking him out really... just didn't convince me, really. The one other non-AEC disc of his I have is a duo with Marilyn Crispell (on Music&Arts), which again is ok but not much more. It's been a while though since I played this or "Song For", maybe it's time for a re-evaluation?

I got "Cliff Craft" and "Further Explorations" as part of the same Mosaic/Trueblue order - loved both albums from day one! They go very well together! I guess it's mentioned in the other thread, but Clifford Jordan is great on the first (of just recently two) volumes of "Erich Kleinschuster Sextet" sets (two 2CD sets, Jordan is on Vol. 1 only, very good Austrian band w/guests Clifford Jordan, Carmell Jones & Joe Henderson on Vol. 1, Slide Hampton and Jimmy Heath on Vol. 2 - I think dusty had the sets, otherwise search around the board to find out how to order them from a great shop in Vienna, where I was lucky to find Vol. 2 a couple of days after its street date, when I was in Vienna in July).

Playing "Border Crossing" now, first listen - sounds great, halfway into! I know how different the Miller/Moholo team can sound, depending on the context (I've heard the Brötz/Miller/Moholo on FMP and lots of live BoB, as well as the wonderfull Harry Miller box). What I like so much about them is their drive, how they swing, no matter what they're actually playing or what's going on around - they're just great, always! Just in case, you're allowed to freely mention the names of any boards here - no ego-police thing going on here by the moderators!

The Ben, I assume - to my knowledge, the Hawk has never come out other than as "old" CD!

another little raccoon story over here

but not with new IE (Version 7) at other work... problem is with old IE, then...

he he...

glorious, glamorous, and that old standby amorous...

couple of good ones: John Bickerton - Shadow Boxes Collective 4tet - any or all if you like this kind of free jazz Mat Maneri - Fever Bed Pandelis Karayorgis - Heart and Sack Soegaard Ensemble - Cronos Didier Petit - NOHC on the Road Hannes Wiener / Peter Niklas Wilson - Alphea (this one's a stunningly beautfiul disc!) also probably these: James Fei - Solo Works Joachim Gies - both Uwe Obert - Lo but it's been a while that I played them... the Not Missing Drums project is great, too, but not jazz by far not jazz... Gies is involved there, too, leading it with Thomas Boehm-Christl. I don't have "Offline Adventures", "Urban Voices" is more vocals-based (but vocals - classically trained female singers - form a part of the project anyway). Similar with The Remote Viewers. A weird pop/song/sax group that I kind of like... can't keep the discs apart, really, though... and some may really hate this stuff! all or most of these have mostly been mentioned in the "funny rat"-thread

"Age,Phone /Fax /Sex e.t.c."

Yes, and what's fact and what fiction about the Schindler story isn't so clear, either...

he he...

me earlier today, and how I'll look on my public transportation card during my trip to Paris, October 1-7:
