  1. yes But count them. That's why my post says fictitious ... and adds an emoticon. Thought that was clear enough. You do have me curious about that Lil/Dodds et al. date though!
  2. Sorry, wasn't aware how old this thread was ... regardless, this is better (a trailer for the more recent DVD edition, it seems): much better, in fact!
  3. Ever heard of one Erik Satie?
  4. this one here, I assume: http://arthaus-musik.com/dvd/musik/oper/media/details/ariadne_auf_naxos-2.html not sure what to think of Grist after playing this: not easy to understand a word (sound quality or lack thereof might be to blame, Strauss, too), somewhat thick accent - but the voice somehow gets me the wrong way ... the recording, if it's the one you're talking about, has been on DVD at least twice it seems (I found 2004 and 2014 editions listed on Amazon). btw, it's Jurinac, and she was great indeed http://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/nov/23/sena-jurinac-obituary
  5. They ship from any warehouse, no matter whether you order from the French, Italian, Spanish, German or UK site. And the French of course invented the guillotine a while ago ... but I guess today others should get acquainted with it as well, besides royals.
  6. Maybe, but as with Niehaus (I know you love his music!), when do you ever read about him. It would really help indeed to have some kind of definition when such threads are started, so we all could at least try and be on the same page. And funnily the Dutch (I think?) seem not to underrate anyone
  7. Ah, I see. Well, of zero interest then.
  8. Loved "Ida"! And intrigued about that unknown/unreleased Coltrane - more info, please!
  9. Not sure if this is the right thread, but "Mingus Three", the 1957 trio album with Hampton Hawes and Dannie Richmond nowadays belongs to Universal, I assume (Jubilee > Blue Note > EMI > Universal, whatever, why don't the majors just merge into one and then find new majors on Pluto to gulp and grow even fatter? but free markets is good, fersure) ... so, cdjapan just sends me one of their hourly updates, and it says Mingus Three + 8, and I wonder what that means ... would of course be amazing if those were alternates, outtakes, whatever, but I guess the explanation is of some other nature? link: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTCD-4829?utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=text-genre&utm_campaign=Jazz-20150730-genre-OTCD-4829
  10. I'm with Lon there ... and I'm having a bit of hard time reading these complaints about sound and an even harder time reading those ridiculous over-the-top accusations. But maybe that's just me. Nothing to see, walk on.
  11. when did ones and zeros start having rarity value?
  12. Lennie Niehaus
  13. indeed! happy birthday!
  14. recommended!
  15. just had to check, but yeah, yippie, I'm in
  16. I just remember that they said 7 discs was the ideal size.
  17. Good move! And yes, it's really sad the Select series went belly-up - have most of them and really enjoy them! Too bad they weren't profitable.
  18. Thanks for clarifying, l p! Yeah, would be cool to see a 1974/75 set for sure! But I'd love to see the 1971 and 1973 bands/tours see entire sets being dedicated to them as well!
  19. one of my favourite sextets -- not fictious but fictitious
  20. Seriously now? That's quite a story indeed!
  21. Not sure, sorry if I'm asking in a dumb way, but: Keystone Korner is not mentioned by Losin nor in the excerpts you quote from Miles' autobiography (guess I need to buy it ... have read it many moons ago from the library) - so, would you be in for more early 1969 tapes and some ot those might be from Keystone Korner, or would those be other dates? As for 1969, I keep repeating that I think (fairly) early is over-represented by comparison in the 1969 bootleg set, and I'd really like to get more of the late gigs by the band, but that would mean European concerts again. I guess though it would be cool to get more US club dates, as the atmosphere must indeed have been rather different (not sure that necessarily means the music is better, but I guess: different).
  22. Not sure why these keep popping up as bargains - they ARE bargains after all, conceived as such and really not worth mentioning all the time. But maybe I'm just grumpy and wish for there being enough serious reissues that some of them would be bargained every now and then ... tempi passati, I assume - sic transit gloria reeditionum
  23. Losin mentions some gigs around those IASW and BB dates - entries for Feb 25 and Aug 21 1969: in October/November, the well-documented tour with the "lost quintet" took place. Obviously, there would be much more than those european tours, but if that's the stuff they can get and release - fine with me.
