seems I was wrong (blame the messy threads so far on the board, I did do an Org-search and some reading before posting here) JSP also has a live box out: How does it compare to the Definitive? I assume it has better sound? What about the contents?

bumping this old one back up - question regarding the live material: There's no comprehensive live collection of Christian, besides the 4CD set Definitive put out? All live material I have so far is this one here:

bumping this up again - has anyone sorted things out between JSP boxes and Mosaic/Jazz in Paris releases? I have all of the later (JiP and Mosaic), so I assume I'd only need the Rome JSP and have all or most of what's on the first two JSPs?

The Django I've had for a while - word is that the JSP boxes sound a lot better, but I never started buying JSPs so far, all Django I have is the Mosaic, the Jazz in Paris discs (7 or 8 of them, a few nicely complementing the Mosaic and containing music that's at least as great), as well as the Definitive hackjob 4CD set collecting all he did with American musicians.

and backcover:

I asked about the Hodges when I ordered the Roach and got as an answer that it "should be around until the end of the year"... but I see that one as a likely candidate, I think it came out around the same time as the Roach.

seems so, the whole JC tour is listed in the itinerary on King's website... he's been the drummer of the JC organ trio for several years, it seems.

Thanks for your report, Reinier - I think I'll make my mind up depending on the mood a few hours before the concert...

I'm enjoying the fact that I finally got a shipping confirmation for my Roach set - phew! The Berigan still hasn't arrived, so I'm looking forward a lot to both of these! During the wait, I'll try and make my way all through the Mildred Bailey, a great one, in my opinion!

Hah, great ones John! How about some ECM-Booger?

modest attempt... had to do this with them cheapo paint things, thus no variation on fonts etc...

He's playing here with the organ trio on Thursday - should I check him out? I've never been too much of a fan, but then I can imagine him being a pretty good live act... (I found the "Baker's Keyboard Lounge" guests parade a very boring disc...) On the plus side: I don't think I *ever* actually saw an all hammond concert (seen concerts where keyboarders changed between grand piano, organ, rhoder, wurlitzer, etc, but never just a band with organ...)

Thanks for providing the info - looks interesting, what with Don Sleet!

Happy Birthday!

What's that Lenny McBrowne? All I know of his are some sideman appearances (with Booger, for instance). As for Lewis, "Stick Up!" may be my one favourite session with him - probably my favourite Hutcherson (followed closely by "Happenings").

Indeed his deep big sound is something I enjoy on whatever album he appears. Sad news to start the week with

I played the free jazz from the GDR compilation again and of course recognized the two wacky tracks, great stuff, John! Looking forward to the answers now, to find out about the rest of the music!

"Soul Message" is good indeed, I also recently got it. It's an RVG, thus a new reissue, not a holdover from the old catalogue... it's not all bad what Concord does, but still tons of releases by not so familiar musicians seem to have vanished by now...

I assume a battery-driven radio might help? Or not?

I'm still looking for a way to record directly from radio/amp onto the computer, be it via the internal or an external (Creative Soundblaster) soundcard, but regardless of how I connect things (my notebook and the radio or my notebook and radio-via-amp), I get a low hum that is very annoying and is present on the recording as well. I did plug in the radio in all rooms of our apartment, including bathroom and kitchen, and it won't change... My computer is a notebook (though I'll have another one soon too, hopefully, but I still need a monitor and a friend to help me setting it up anew), in case that matters. Anyone has an idea what can be done about that? Looking for a new place to stay with more than just two fuses? (not an option, of course!) And could the feedback problem not be present if I was using the desktop computer?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

So the man who's not Albert M is in fact the Salzsäulen-Bauer, then? And the Schönfeld chap plays the whacky flute? Will have to play that great compilation again tonight or tomorrow!

yeah, I know... will have to dig that one up again, only played it several times when I got it new but never since
