That post *so* just bumps back at you, you know You're talking to a wall, thus all your arguments will fall back on your own head, you lunatic! And if you want to know how to listen to a catalogue (seems you never did this before, so I explain): put a catalogue on a table, open it randomly. Make sure there is some draught, then just sit in the room, most quietly, and listen to the wind changing pages of tha catalogue. You will, after doing this for some time, easily be able to distinguish an old Mosaic catalogue from a more recent one, or from a Fantasy catalogue, or from a Trueblue catalogue... You will, from a totally different angle, be able to appreciate the quality and thickness of paper, the size of the catalogue, the weight etc. A whole new aera of experience will open up, you shall see!

You can hear him talking, too, before "Hot House" - he asks Dizzy what the name of that Tadd Dameron tune was that they recorded... cool stuff! And you see, Switzerland is less far away than Texas

I think it's Max on "Salt Peanuts". My guess is Sid came out for "Hot House" & got such a big hand that he stayed on to finsih the set w/the brief "52nd Street Theme". The crowd wouldn't let him go, he needed to go, the set was probably about over anyway, so somebody probably said, "Just finish up, it's just a few more minutes", and he agreed. That still gives him two tunes as per the tray card, just not the two it says. ← Thanks for weighing in! Sid (Big Sid, that is) would have been a bad mo-fo to pull all the stuff on "Peanuts" - but then "Hot House" is proof enough that he *was* a bad mo-fo... From what Symphony Sid says, though, I rather think Sid was gone before 52nd Street Theme was played - but we'll probably never know...

Spanish BN? I have that Iturralde/Hawes meeting on Hispavox/Fresh Sound vinyl, a February 1968 date. BN issued that too?!? ← I'm not sure if it was EMI España, in fact, but some European EMI, yes: cover: tracklist: 01 - On Green Dolphin Street 02 - Black Forest Blues (hampton Hawes Blues) 03 - Autumn Leaves 04 - Oleo 05 - Moonlight In Vermont 06 - My Funny Valentine http://www.virginmega.fr/default.aspx?FicheArtiste=18490 The 2003 date there is for the download-version, I assume, not for the CD release, which must have been around 1997 (going from memory). French Amazon has little info, but it says "Bluen" there.

why don't you go through some trouble, find a tracklisting and compare it to your brochure. Looks like it's the final track, an 8min26 version of St Louis Blues by Bill Coleman. ← I hate trouble, I'm lazy, I'm at work - you know all of that don't you? And finally: I am a wall, so what do you expect (A crazy wall, obviously) But thanks for the info - will check if I can still find that catalogue anywhere! The Coleman disc is a beautiful one!

sometimes posting here is like talking to a wall... ← Ahem, you "walls"... my question was if there was any unreleased music on the catalogue CD, not what size the catalogue has - obviously having posted that I've seen it in stores here, I know it's CD-sized... And that link the Dutch wall posted tells me there's one unreleased track on the disc, but not which one it is and if that track may be a reason to get the catalogue or not... you see, talking to you (unlike posting links) is indeed almost like talking to a wall

Same deal as here. I'm sorry I just took one catalogue with me, and even more sorry I made some crosses in there (for discs I wanted, discs I had, etc... useless, now that I have all of them). Is there any music in there? Or just a CD-ROM catalogue?

Have you heard this? I am quite a fan of both the "Jazz Flamenco Vols. 1 & 2" and the Iturralde/Hampton Hawes CDs released on Spanish Blue Note!

brownie, that catalogue was sold here, too, for the prize of a JiP CD - same in Paris, or was it for free? mr. never will also need the nice large A4 paper brochure, with infos for all the discs (except the recent releases and that one that they discontinued, that very nice Chet disc).

They've sent it surface. I'm extremely pissed off. ← Well, I chose surface, and the delivery took a week... I'll see if they actually made me pay for airmail, too, or if they chartered some racing ship to deliver it so fast...

I am indebted to HRH........... ← no problem! if you enjoy the disc, that's the best payback!

Same for me... Sad news!

clunky's disc is on its way, priority mail - you should have it by next Wednesday, I hope!

Just gave the disc a first listen on the way to work. WHOOOOAH! I am very much impressed! Diz is witty and good, and Max drops bombs all over the place, Haig is very good as well, but then there's Bird... his entry in "Bebop" (like Sid, I wasn't sure if he'd be there on the first tune, not having looked at any liners so far) is so good! And how Max reacts, wow! Ain't it all there, right in this 40 minutes of music? Just everything that makes jazz such a great art? Looking at the traycard of the disc I have a question about "Salt Peanuts" - is that Max or Big Sid? Liners say the later, but Symphony Sid only announces Big Sid *after* "Salt Peanuts" - however, I thought I did hear a change in drumming styles right from the beginning of "Salt Peanuts", so... Chuck: give everybody involved some deep thanks from a devoted fan of the few Uptown releases he owns, so far!

Thanks, brownie. I have this set and it´s one of my favorite Ellington live recordings. ← one for me to ? I don't have the B-day set, but being quite a fan of the stuff collected on the Capitol set, this should indeed be mine, some day... I see Caiman has it for 18 € on Amazon.de

Congratulations, man. It's a good set to have. You will enjoy it. You will enjoy it or else! ← Don't be afraid, else I will sell it on Ebay for at lesat 500$... I sure will enjoy it!

To bring this one back on topic... my set has already arrived! Very fast delivery (I went for overseas shipping)!!!

update: couw got them dutchmanx double delta got them eloe omoe got them eke bbb got them sent a couple of days later: mmilovan will send tomorrow: clunky

Got mine, thanks Chuck! Fast delivery!

Oops, I missed that one. Yes, that is Fresu. He is not the leader on the album, however. ← Thanks! Though I went with not Fresu in the end... tooter will be delighted!

Thanks John! Glad I got the Instabile and Trovesi cuts right! How about #2 - just to ask for sure: Fresu is not there, correct?

Are you piling up coins to afford the box? Or is it the sound of the cash register after you´ve paid for it? ← Nothing yet, but I'll definitely check if the Euro version makes a show at some of the cheapo discounters (the Farmer and Mulligan did and I got them there).

pling, pling, pling,......pling!

Happy huppy birthday!
