They could probably sqeeze them onto 10 CD's, which would be no worse than the Mildred Bailey set. ( ) a squeeze box? a squealing one maybe? I actually like the Bailey box *a lot* - but I'd still be in for a big, fat Clarke-Boland box! And if not that, than a smaller one... anything with rare music by this great band would be a treat!

yeah, he quite looked like an old-fashioned auntie there... come to think of it, in most of his flicks...

And the discs aren't schmutzed up? I love this set, too--AND the sound. No, I was lucky. Got it a month or two ago used from a seller on UK amazon... all the discs look fine, I still put them in papersleeves which I squeeze in the foamy stuff... Sound is magnificient, and Christian kicks ass bigtime! I had the two old Columbia/Legacy discs before but didn't play them for years, letting anticipation for this box set grow for quite some time, and I'm very, very pleased, I have to say! Now I'll have to look for the JSP live set, eventually...

I watched the Burghause 2005 DVD last night - wow! She is great, in my opinion! I heard a couple of live shows on the radio and always liked her doing those groovy tunes... "Iko Iko" is terrific, and her take of "Come Together" is lots of fun, too! Drummer Steve Davis indeed adds a lot! A favourite show of mine though, from Lausanne 1998, has François Moutin on bass... not that Lynne's regular bassist isn't good, but I like what Moutin adds to the trio a lot - the hit tune of that show, to me, is Blue Mitchell's "Funji Mama" - another of those groovy ones.

Thanks Lon - that's another set where I'm not sure I really need it, but still...

Lon, what's the Prima/Manone like? What could you compare the music to? I just started exploring the great Max Roach set - discs 1-3, with "Max" (Argo) in between the two "Plays Charlie Parker" dates, now planning to continue with the tuba band dates (incl. Riverside & Time albums), after the live set from Newport 1958! Booker Little is marvellous already on the first date (disc 3)!

I consider the Mobley essential as well! But I assume the Piano Moods will be a "nice to have" one, in the end... haven't made up my mind yet...

oh shit, I think I want it nevertheless... will have to think about it - too bad, I could/should have ordered it together with the Herman Capitol, I guess...

Very sad news I heard that Paris gig on radio and indeed it was great!

The only ones I have from this bunch are Bass on Top and Morgan Vol. 3. This is the most exciting RVG batch since I started buying them about three years ago. Ok, that's a point of course! Anyway, I'm young too and started buying jazz around the time when the first batches of Conns were already impossible to find, still in the meantime I was able to get what I wanted in most cases, as far as BN is concerned, and while the Conns still hold some surprises, the RVGs as a series of reissues of stuff already on CD has turned more and moring to me... there were some cases, like that Lee Morgan disc with Frank Mitchell on tenor, The Sixth Sense, where the old CD edition had been out for just two years or so (and can still be found today), but already it was RVGed... it's just that I don't get the reissuing again and again of the same stuff... they could instead just keep some of it a bit longer in print and reissue other things instead that have become rarer to find (where's Reuben Wilson's "Blue Mode"? I didn't try really hard, but I never found that, for instance...)

yup, good one! one of the few ok 32jazz covers, too... (or just fitting, not really good per se): Can be found cheaply on US Amazon.

50 now... waiting for the Herman Capitol... 8 Selects (Weston, Green, Brookmeyer, Amy, Williams, Tyner, 2x Hill) 1 Single (Wiley) That's scary, so many more in just 3 years... an a few hundred other discs, and a dozen or more other box sets...

same here - very fast delivery!

Just finished disc one - wow! Great sound, too!

I wont buy any of these - have them as TOCJ (Chambers - good one, in my opinion!), Conn (Quebec & Davis), part of a Mosaic (Morgan) and the Jordan I have from an Italian Blue Note Magazine issue. That Jordan is a hell of a fine album, by the way! Dizzy Reece is great on it, as is Stanley Turrentine! Still a rather underwhelming bunch, to me...

Just about to finish a complete listen to "Jazz at the Pawnshop" - 3 fantastic discs! And yes indeed, pianist Bengt Hallberg is a mighty fine musician!

I don't know much more, but there's a great disc of Peiffer's that came out fairly recently, available here: http://cdbaby.com/cd/peiffer It was put out by his son and has some liners/documentation.

Happy Birthday! :party:

I haven't seen such a crazy one before, but there are many sellers offering OJCs for 100 $ or € - this is just plain crazy, though, hence I started this thread...

http://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B000...9321&sr=8-1 I wasn't able to get hold of this - if anyone has a copy for sale or knows of a local shop that still has one...

Happy Birthday!

And I find it hard to believe I have forgotten to mention Sylvie Courvoisier earlier! Saw her life with Vincent Courtois & Ellery Eskelin and she was great! Also her disc Abaton (ECM, 2CD) is recommended! That's not a jazz recording, however... rather a mix of composed and freely improvised music, performed in trio with Mark Feldman (they're a couple in private as well) and Erik Friedlander.

Just to make sure: my "another good one" remark was directed at Alain Jean-Marie (as in: another good european piano player), not at that CD, which *I don't own*!

Sophia Domancich I've got her quintet disc, "Pentacle" (Sketch - OOP) and like it a lot! The trio Domancich/Avenel/Goubert is fine, too (don't have their disc, though).
