I'm glad I have the two you just mentioned, Matthew - not that I'm listening to any Evans right now (I know you're in an Evans period...), but it's great that I was able to get them for a good prize at the zweitausendeins sale... maybe I should just wait for the Secret Sessions to appear there, too... will likely cancel my order, it's too much money to spend right now for me...

Can you also beam that lady in her mid 60s incarnation my way? Full with MD number and scribbling and yellow and pink sheet, please?

Oh yes, Buck Hill is great! I have just found another of his Muse albums in a sale a week ago, with him on clarinet for half of the tunes. Beautiful, and I was caught totally off guard... had no idea he was playing the clarinet, too!

Thanks Ron. I guess that 80 euro in the end beats 90 $ plus tons of shipping costs, plus I'd need someone to buy it for me etc., so I guess 80 euros is just fine. There will be an added 10-15 for customs, I'm afraid, but that would be the same if I get it from the US, I'm afraid...

I ordered it from German Amazon fro 80 euros, will see if they deliver. After that, no new stuff at least till x-mas!

What a shame. That guy was as old as I am... I only have one or two cuts of his on a compilation, but this sure is sad news.

some of the numbers in mine are unreadable anyway (or there are at least two variants...) - someone teach them how to write numbers, please!

Wow, I'm quite astonished you know him, Larry! I'll be watching out for other discs of his, thanks for the "Physique" recommendation!

Christophe Schweizer - not sure if he qualifies, but I just heard another live broadcast of his band "Normal Garden", all NY pros, among them Dave Binney, Eric Rasmussen, Jacob Sacks. He also had Billy Hart as his drummer a few years ago, plus has a very good album out on TCB with Jason Moran and George Colligan sharing organ (yup, organ!) duties, Billy Hart on drums and Ohad Talmor (another artist deserving mention here?) on tenor & soprano. Here's the cover of that disc: I am not sure what he's up to, but he is playing over here now and then, and he's great. And I can't remember ever having seen his name here, so he sure is "under the radar"!

Just put in an order for the three Westons... this hurts a bit, but I don't want to miss them! 41 bucks from CDU (using the big-O links the first time!)...

oh shit! I didn't watch that site closely as it was rather frustrating (but good, since i spent so much on the zweitausendeis sale) that they would only do it for US customers. Is there a listing of these sale items available anywhere? I guess they took down the gone ones by now?

I'm not exactly Terence Stamp, but I sure wouldn't have minded collecting Ms. Eggar had I been around in the swiging sixties... IMDB

I know what you mean, I felt like this with my first Universal Mosaic (Farlow), too, but in the meantime I got others (Eldridge, Basie, Mulligan, Jazztet) and I really couldn't care less. But then I'm not one of the anal fetishist collectors (a collector I am, though, I confess...)

What Denis Colin Trio disc is the one being discussed above? I'm asking since the images have disappeared...

yuck yuck yuck yuck! you Americans are weird (you too, Tom ) but Elvis must have liked it, I hear...

I wouldn't know about Quincy, have no idea what he did and what not... I only have a burn of the OP CD, so this is great news anyway!

Why are you saying "being discontinued"? Has there been some clear communication on the side of Concord? Are the Westons being discontinued?

Ah well, I'm just lazy... and used to the search function working on more than one word for a few years, so... thanks for posting the links, however! I find it always helpful to have some cross-references in the threads themselves!

Wow, they're all OOP? I got Turn Out from French Amazon two years ago or so at a pretty nice prize... can't remember, but must have been around 40€. For the rusting along Verve I payed a lot, though (Barnes & Noble was where I got it from, about two years ago, too). Both last Fantasy boxes have been available from 2001 half a year ago, no idea if they're still there... Anyone knows about the status of "Secret Sessions"? That's the one Evans box I still miss... French & German Amazon list it for 90 something euros - pretty steep for 8 CDs. Also German Amazon has 4-6 weeks or something that makes me think it could be on the endangered list, too (French has 6-12 days).

That's great news! What would be in there, except the Tricotism sessions (terrific ones!)? Would that also include the two Oscar Pettiford ABC albums? Oh, how about compiling some OP and do a nice little box set? I'd buy that, for sure! And how about the Bags/Lucky dates? I am aware they're on various labels (Savoy, Atlantic, UA), but that would be a terrific set of music that's much too difficult to find (I have "Plenty Plenty Soul", burns of the UA and of "Jazz Skyline", plus a tape of a european [London?] reissue of some other Savoy cuts taken from at least two different albums). I guess this one is impossible to do, but I'd love it! And then a third Lucky one, compiling the complete Paris sessions...

Hi Greg! A great series, indeed! There have been separate threads about the Coleman and the Fofo elsewhere, as well as threads about the large 4CD boxes (I have none of them, alas) and at least one about the large boxes containing all the JiP discs, too. Alas, the search function does only work on single words, so the best chance to find any of these threads is probably to search for little discussed musicians (Bacsik, Jaspar, etc.). Oh, there definitely is a Sacha Distel thread, too! Still my favourite hors série release! Don't miss his non-JiP album with Barney and John Lewis, it has been on Koch CD, now reissued in a digipack edition by Freshsound.

Sad news. I gladly bought a duplicate of the above 2CD set from Lon some time ago - very enjoyable, to say the least.

Since the search won't help, I am posting this not knowing if it has been discussed before. Just got the following notification from Chicago University Press and thought it might be of interest here: Sun Ra The Wisdom of Sun Ra: Sun Ra's Polemical Broadsheets and Streetcorner Leaflets. Edited by Anthony Elms and John Corbett. Distributed for WhiteWalls. 144 p., 56 color plates. 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 Paper $20.00 0-945323-07-7 Spring 2006 From the Arkestra to his experiments with synthesizers, Sun Ra was one of the most inventive jazz musicians in history. Yet until now, there has not been a collection of his earliest writings that reveal the beginnings of his work as philosopher, mystic, and Afro-Futurist. This new volume unveils over forty newly discovered typewritten broadsheets on which Sun Ra expounded his wholly unique philosophical message. While in Chicago during the mid-1950s, Sun Ra preached on street corners and occasionally created scripts to accompany his lectures—intricate texts that invoke science fiction, Biblical prophecy, etymology, and black nationalism. Until this point, the only broadsheet known to exist was one given to John Coltrane in 1956. These newly unearthed writings attest to the provocative brilliance that inspired Coltrane. Sun Ra annotated many of them by hand, and together the sheets reveal fascinating new aspects of his worldview. The Wisdom of Sun Ra is an invaluable compendium of writings by one of the most intriguing and influential jazz figures of the century.
