I don't have "Together Again", but the "Capitol Trios" CD is another wonderful set - not the same band, but more great music in a similar style. "B.G. in Hi-Fi" is another good Capitol CD with both small group and big band music (but again none by the original trio/quartet, I think). Thanks to never's again and again recommending that one, I finally jumped ahead and ordered a copy of the Peterson/Hamp box (from newbury comics via amazon.com marketplace - I hope they come through, never ordered from them).

ouch! CD2's #1-#4 are the "historical" segment of my BFT, just in case anyone wonders... but then #1-#3 or CD1 would almost fit in there, too...

Not Criss, of course... Yup, you're right, trumpet is... precocious I guess? But I still like the raw energy of it! There's that moment where he clearly loses it, can't compete technically with what he hears/wants to play - a strong moment, somehow... Thanks for jumping in so fast!

Am I allowed to post already or do you need more space for future replies? tell me and I'll delete! Anyway, what I wanted to post is: sheeeet in the Manfred Ludwig Sextett track - too long that I played either that album or the GDR compilation to recognize it. The Kurylewicz I should get, it seems!

almost posted this one, too!

birthday gift for my mother, but for a week it will be mine now, first

The discussion threads are open now! I also just sent out a PM to a dozen ex-participants, hoping some more will join in the discussion in the coming weeks! If you didn't get that PM of mine and have not signed up so far but still would like to join, drop me a PM anytime and you'll get the download links! It's never too late, as long as the files stay online!

ah, I found a larger on my HD!

Vaughan & Violins

Perry Robinson - Funk Dumpling

Donald Byrd - Byrd in Paris

Barney Wilen - Tilt Derek Bailey - Ballads

one of the best of the LPR series:

Those Lee Friedlander covers are gorgeous. A must-have book is his 'American Musicians! Lee Friedlander Jazz Portraits yes, great book!

two favourites from Mode/VSOP:

anyone has a larger one of this? one of the sadder albums, but a great cover!

Good call! all those Friedlander covers look great!

going to pay a visit to that site, too, then... I enjoy the old BN covers a lot, such as the ones in the following posts - they're largely unknown nowadays and don't seem to be part of the glory of BN's design fetishism, alas... seems I can't link to them, but go have a look here: http://www.gokudo.co.jp/Record/BlueNote1/index.htm The Art Hodes ones are great! Also the Roach/Moody/Dorham/Blakey. Mezz Mezzrow (7023) is another good one, and all of the Gil Mellé ones are great (I printed them and keep them in my 2CD set!). Both Julius Watkins are good, too!
