Big to these Legends of Acid Jazz ("Low Flame"'s my favourite) and the "Soul People". Most of my favourites have been mentioned, but here they are again, from the top of my head: - Stitt/Powell/Johnson (OJC) - Legends of Acid Jazz: Low Flame (Fantasy) - Night Letter (another Fantasy twofer with Jack McDuff on one album) - the two Cobblestones (32jazz - latest issue is a euro illegitimate one) - 12! (Muse/32jazz) and some of the 1960 stuff with Miles has great Stitt, too - favourite probably the Paris concert! (I assume on LaserLight, also at least two more French editions before that.) There's more Stitt/Ammons on a disc called "Soul Summit" (another Fantasy twofer), and an encounter with Paul Gonsalves on "Salt & Pepper" (Impulse, another twofer, pairing it with Stitt's own "Now" album). And that still leaves out all of the Roost material collected on a Mosaic that I still have to get... I assume most of that is pretty good as well!

If you don't have it on your list (or have it already), add: Booker Ervin: Booker and Brass This was a standard Pacific Jazz/EMI issue, and it's a very good session in great sound. There are a lot of Booker fans here, but this session seems to get overlooked. At any rate, I'm a fan. big fan of that one! probably like it better than the two Conns, ah, that's three by now... second runner would the the first Conn with Richard Williams, found the second (with an ugly cover, too) rather less great than I'd expected, while the latest was pretty good again...

what a weirdo thread... it's all music!

Yes, I love that 3CD "Motion"! As for the long title of the Schifrin, I assume yall are aware that it refers to German writer's 1963 play "Marat/Sade", which is actually called: "Die Verfolgung und Ermordung Jean Paul Marats dargestellt durch die Schauspielgruppe des Hospizes zu Charenton unter Anleitung des Herrn de Sade" (english: "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade"). Of course everybody knows who that ami du peuple was, but maybe you need some help on Sade?

bumpin' this up once more - I'd be more than happy tond out a few more PMs with links! Anyway, I'll start two discussion threads tomorrow if that's cool with the bovine poster -- hey man, where are you hiding? got too close to Heiligendamm? hope they didn't send you to Bremen for that, or some even worse place...

One to get - if you have not done so already - is the Philippe Sarde 'Princesses/Un Frere' CD from the same series. It is not part of the discounted discs. The music is played by John Lewis, Milt Jackson, Ron Carter and Wayne Shorter among others! Don't have that one, no... but I won't order even more right now... will try and think of it later! (I also still need a few of the most recent Vogues, namely the Nelson Williams and the Cohn/Renaud, as well as all of th new JiP discs... too much for now!)

jazz Zelig, ha! I can relate to that... "Complete Communion" (more so than "Symphony for Improvisers", the third album I don't have yet) is very easy on the ears... actually I'd call it pretty mellow and groovy, but I guess that's an opinion you can only have once you "crossed over" into these territories that the starter of this thread has trouble getting into, so go figure...

That's all? I figured they were as many or more as the Vocalions! The only one I have so far is "Greek Variations" - pretty nice one, but not as good as some of the other UK things I've got - my favourites are the two Rendell/Carr twofers on BGO and all the stuff I have so far of Joe Harriott, both on ReDial CDs as well as with Michael Garrick's band.

it's out of print but you may find it used - very nice laid-back gig! here's an AAJ review: As for Barney Kessell: get any of the Poll Winners' albums (with Ray Brown and Shelly Manne - OJC/Contemporary). There are three of them from the late 50s plus one later reunion from the 70s, I think, maybe more.

Nice batch. Those Griffin's are stellar...check out the track Catharsis on Sextet which features a blistering duet between Griff & Wilbur Ware (one of my favorite jazz "moments"). Still have to play the two Griffins... but I'll listen for that! I didn't want to throw them on as background music, which is what I did with Ella this afternoon, as well as with a couple of other recent arrivals (Gigi Gryce's "The Hap'nin's", for instance - good one, it seems!) I already played the Patterson/Ervin - fine one! Probably more to my liking than the second one ("Just Friends"), but I'll have to play that again, too! Ordered today: - five of those French movie soundtrack CDs (see brownie's thread) - a bunch of things from discplus.ch (about 12 hatOLOGY discs and four Chronogical Classics) crazy me!

Tavernier has good soundtracks often! I have Henri Texier's "Holy Lola" soundtrack on CD - very nice one! I ordered five of the six you pointed out, brownie (took a pass on the Schifrin), thanks!

I put a disc in my cart out of curiousity, and the economy shipping to the U.S. seems to be €3.82. Two discs = €6.05. It goes up on a sliding scale. That's rather steep! But then I guess it's just a reflection of Swiss post's prices! Anyway, if anyone has wanted "Rara Avis" for years, this won't keep him! Even less the fact that the disc is listed for only 6 euro!

hm, it's weird - maybe the Zingaro/Lee wasn't OOP already at all, but I'm quite sure about the Mengelberg, and totally sure about the Clusone. The Maneri is still listed as OOP on the hat page, but the Clusone and Mengelberg aren't... Here's the link to the discplus site: http://www.discplus.ch/ Put Hat in the label and the labels will pop up, choose, "HATOLOGY" and hit go and there's all they have listed at the moment. On top there's a [chf] link, click on it to see the listings in €. Also you can choose the language (german/french/english).

Did I miss something? A swiss website (discplus.ch - seems they do ship abroad but I have no clue what that costs) has available the following early/long OOP hatOLOGY releases again, at the backlist sale prize, too (roughly 6€ or 7 US$): Misha Mengelberg - The Root of the Problem Clusone 3 - Rara Avis Joe Maneri - Coming Down the Mountain Carlos Zingaro/Peggy Lee - Western Front, Vancouver 1996 There may be other OOP items in the list that I don't recognize as such since I've had them for long (I have the Maneri and Zingaro/Lee of these four as well, but will try and order the other two).

btw: is there a list (or even better would be a website) with all the Universal UK Jazz reissues? I've never seen such a list and would be very glad if anyone had a list!

That's indeed great news, about time "Hum Dono" sees a nice reissue!

Thanks! I hope to post some stuff that you enjoy!

hey, feel free to create some that would fill the whole frame on top of the page! Send dimensions please. (in pixels...) no clue, sorry... it's more about proportions... I don't think I could check the pixels there, but I'll check tomorrow!

Hah, you don't even have the faintest idea what you're missing there! mine's on order! it's also online for free (see my web favourites) but you have to register. Kraus' monstrous play "Die letzten Tage der Menschheit" (the last days of makind/humanity - the end of the world, in fact) is one of the important literary texts to document the madness that was World War 1, and his "Fackel", a publication he led for years, first with texts of himself and others, later exclusively written by himself, is one of the important periodicals of those decades, and it contains virtually his complete works, including texts not doomed fit for inclusion in Suhrkamp's collected/complete works edition... he's definitely one of the most sarcastic and fascinating personalities of 20c german (austrian, to be exact, very decidedly austrian) literature.

but it would be interesting to have some list of items that don't fall under the 50 year rule or don't awake enough interest for being reissued... of the ones mentioned so far, I'd say the Ken McIntyre UA set and the Don Grolnick most likely fall under that category.

hey, feel free to create some that would fill the whole frame on top of the page!

disc 10 of the Mildred Bailey

Yup, I have all of those still saved on my HD - even after a crash I retained them!

Well, I thought maybe Mr. Tata was about to buy the british empire... Why Rand? Is EMI half South-African?
