I planned to get everything ready last weekend, but I caught some flu again and am in bed with high fever since Saturday night, not having any of the BFT material with me... Sorry, can't step in earlier! ubu

http://www.kind-of-blue.de/seiten/boxen/mi...omplete_box.htm The above link leads you to a page with a full listing, though organized in a bit of a strange way. ubu

As far as I know, Ortega is alive. I think so, too. Anyone has heard this disc? It's a quartet with g-b-d. ubu

David, thanks for the additional Leo recommendations! I saw the Gies, and the Fei, too, I think. The Bickerton and Maneri I got from John a few months back. Problem now is that I'm sick in bed with rather high fever and don't know when I can make it back to that store...

The group disc on Free America ("Donna Lee") is marvellous! I haven't yet been able to check out the solo set (which holds 2CDs, by the way). I tried my lousy reviewing skills on "Donna Lee" in the "funny rat". Should be on the second newest page now (page 100, if you use the 40 posts/page option). ubu

Thanks a lot David! Btw: the "Frontier" disc I listed above I got, mixed that up when browsing the Leo site. Will look for: - Karayorgis: Heart & Sack (& any other of his discs) - Moscow Composers Orchestra (all I can find, at least two I think) - Guyvoroska/Petrova (sounds interesting) - Collective 4tet - Trio Alliance and will get an earful of: - Bley/Maslak (very ugly cover, but Feigin seems to be rather good in designing those ugly covers...) - Maslak's "Mother Russia" if it's there - any Remote Viewers other than the one I have - Actis Dato (need to find out myself, but I had an earful and found it boring, will invest a bit more time) Thanks again everybody! ubu

Thanks for teh recommendations! I believe I saw otehr Karayorgis discs, but couldn't remember which ones when browsing the Leo site. Any other recommendations? Not sure about the Carlo Actis Dato, as I got an earful at the shop the day before yesterday, and wasn't really convince of it. ubu

Nope, didn't list that one. There were several discs on sale taht I have, such as that Remote Viewers disc, the Collective 4tet, a Maneri trio, Chameleo Vulgaris, ARP Music (anyone needs it?), and maybe some more, too. Thanks for the ratings. Now waiting for our Russian friend to chime in! ubu

(Vincenzo Mazzone: Ping Pong, Leo Lab 056) (Remote Viewers: Obliques Before Pale Skin, Leo Lab 063) (Keshavan Maslak / Paul Bley: Romance In The Big City, Leo Records 104) (Vyacheslav Guyvoronsky / Evelin Petrova Duo: Chonyi Together, Leo Records 268) That's about it, so it's in fact mostly Leo Lab releases. There were some more, but I couldn't remember all the covers... ubu

(J.W.Brennan: Moskau-Petushki, Leo Lab 034) (Moscow Composers Orch) Feat. Sainkho: Let Peremsky Dream, Leo Lab 035) (Natsuki Tamura: A Song for Jaki, Leo Lab 039) (Vyacheslav Ganelin/Petras Vysniauskas/Arkadi Gotesman: Trio Alliance, Leo Lab 042) (Pandelis Karayorgis Trio) (I believe I have a recording of the original radio broadcast of this one) ... to be continued

So here's some Leos I think I saw in the sale, any recommendations appreciated! (Moscow Composer Orch. feat. Namchylak: Italian Love Affair, Leo Lab 019) (Max Nagl: Daily Bullet, Leo Lab 023 - some strange vocals here...) ... to be continued

Indeed Christiern: Thanks very much! And yes, "Cathouse Piano" includes one 10" and one 12" album, and yes, going from memory (being at work), I think you indeed wrote the notes! ubu

all in some sale, for 10 CHF (which is a bit less than 7 euros, a bit more than 8 $), all new: -Vladimir Tarasov/Vladimir Miller/Vitas Pilibavicius: "Frontiers" (Leo Lab 016) -Glenn Hall OutSource Roswell Rudd: "The Roswell Incident" (Leo 313) -Satoko Fuji Orchestra: "South Wind" (Leo Lab 037) -Ganelin Trio: "Opuses" (Leo 171) -Trio3 (Lake-Cyrille-Workman): "Open Ideas" (Palmetto) -Art Farmer & Slide Hampton: "In Concert" (Enja Winkelmann) -Bill Harris: "Live at Birdland 1952" (Baldwin Street Music) -Curtis Fuller: "Up Jumped Spring" with Brad Goode (Delmark) -Harold Ousley: "Grit-Gittin' Feelin'" (Delmark) -V-Disc Parties: Goodman/Krupa (Nostalgia Arts) -Buddy Collette: "Tasty Dish" (Freshsound) -Buddy Collette: "Soft Touch" (Freshsound) Gave the Farmer/Hampton a spin just now, nice. Right now listening to Fuller and his big round sound treating "Cantaloupe Island", the opener of "Up Jumped Spring". ubu

Did some shopping a few hours ago, 10 Franks per disc (a bit less than 7 Euros, a bit more than 8 US$, approx.): rat-related stuff, all Leos but the last one: -Vladimir Tarasov/Vladimir Miller/Vitas Pilibavicius: "Frontiers" (Leo Lab 016) -Glenn Hall OutSource Roswell Rudd: "The Roswell Incident" (Leo 313) -Satoko Fuji Orchestra: "South Wind" (Leo Lab 037) -Ganelin Trio: "Opuses" (Leo 171) -Trio3 (Lake-Cyrille-Workman): "Open Ideas" (Palmetto) non-rat-related: -Art Farmer & Slide Hampton: "In Concert" (Enja Winkelmann) -Bill Harris: "Live at Birdland 1952" (Baldwin Street Music) -Curtis Fuller: "Up Jumped Spring" with Brad Goode (Delmark) -Harold Ousley: "Grit-Gittin' Feelin'" (Delmark) -V-Disc Parties: Goodman/Krupa (Nostalgia Arts) -Buddy Collette: "Tasty Dish" (Freshsound) -Buddy Collette: "Soft Touch" (Freshsound) ************* Listening now to the Farmer/Hampton, nice extended live tunes, nothing absolutely great, though, but one I had my eyes on for some time, and at that prize I couldn't go wrong. There were quite a lot of other Leo and Leo Lab discs. I'll have to browse their site a bit though, and try and go by covers to ask you guys for some recommendations of what else I could/should/have to get. ubu

Oh well, I'm certainly not of aboriginal origin, but still half an aussie, you know? Thanks Mike, package arrived, all inclusive, as promised! ubu

Thanks Garth. Sad story linked, indeed And no, I didn't read that book, in fact, I haven't read any book on ZA jazz. Tell me about it when you read it, please!

Interesting to know, brownie, as it is not heard too often in German (and I suppose neither in English). The word "Holocaust" somehow is disgustingly disrespectful once you know where it comes from.

60 years liberation of Auschwitz... ****** What you call "distressing" is what I meant when I wrote "worst". From a purely cinematographical point of view (which of course does forbid itself in this case), "Shoah" is a big event. What strikes me is how exact one can remember what those people say, how their sentences coupled with their looks while talking stay in memory for weeks or months after one has seen it! Noj: "Shoah" is the word that is least problematic to name what is most often referred to as "Holocaust" (this last term has a second, or probably actual and first meaning, "fire offering" (Feueropfer), that makes the use of the term rather cynical when applied to the "desctruction of the European Jews" [which again is the most neutral term, and the one Raul Hilberg prefers - he's also in the film, by the way]). ubu

That I can't deny! Probably not enough '54 material around, so they're taking a second go before proceeding to the '55 stuff? Beg to disagree, your Royal Highness! I think Fresh Sounds has acquired the rights to those Jazztones. I hope they also reissue that superb Lionel Hampton session on Jazztone (with Lucky Thompson, Jimmy Cleveland, Oscar Dennard, Oscar Pettiford) and make sense of that session which has never been released complete. All the better if they have! And yes, please, they really ought to reissue the Hampton session! The old and beat up LP with parts of that session that I've heard is fantastic!

Yes I mistakenly noted that one down when I stumbled on the initial batch of Sonet reissues. Can't remember why No biggie! I just wondered if the ten displayed by Amazon are all, or if there are a few more of these around! Thanks for the info on the Braff! Tjobbe: thanks to you too! (mantra mode:) I won't check that dangerous link, that link is dangerous, I won't check that dangerous link, that link is dangerous... goes on till tonight, then I'll check it ubu

Taylor was also the original drummer of Monk's quartet with Charlie Rouse (with Sam Jones on bass) (at least I read that somewhere, they can be heard on "5 by Monk by 5" and the Town Hall album, both with additinal musicians). I have lots of respect for A.T., too, and enjoy many many of the sessions he played. He and Garland and Chambers sound terrific together on those Coltrane Prestige albums (favourites are Soultrane, Traneing in, and Setting the Pace). Also like what he plays with Bud Powell on those later BN sessions. He might not have been an innovator, but he certainly had style (I don't mean "his (own) style", but just "having style", which is a cool thing in itself). ubu

I just ordered the Braff, Hampton/Asmussen and Brookmeyer Sonets. Maybe will get the other three later, but they seem to run out of them right now. Another question, Guy: the Sonny Stitt you mention in your initial post must be a mistake, yes? ubu

Thanks brownie! The Kessel/Mitchell I had some doubts about, but... Kessel has such a nice sound, a rather underrated guitarist, I suppose. The Braff is with Vic Dickenson, right?

That I can't deny! Probably not enough '54 material around, so they're taking a second go before proceeding to the '55 stuff?
