Don't plan to get the Seon ... but maybe that's a mistake? Also not sure about the upcoming Tafelmusik box (plenty of duplication between it and the Vivarte plus the small Haydn symphonies box). As for the Archiv, I guess in the meantime it grew some in appreciation. Have played almost all of it by now, back when I wrote those sentences you quote, I had for instance not yet heard the great early Richter St Matthew.

Berlin shows, according to Losin: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=640925 http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=671104 http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=691107 http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=711106 http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=731101 plus two more post comeback (actual comeback!) and thus from beyond the time scope: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=831029 http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=851101 And here's Dietikon: http://www.plosin.com/milesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=711022 So this might, in one go, rule out a 1971 AND a 1975 set? That's not exactly great news, I'm afraid - even more so if they throw in known stuff (Newport 1955 and 1969, though having the former in an official version is nice of course).

Both sets of Dietikon would fill at least three discs, so I guess only parts of it ... Newport 1969 has been out, why bring it back again? Newport 1955 is, in my opinion, overrated ... it's short, it's somewhat disjointed, and no way it's any kind of comeback in a musical way (possibly in a public perception way? you old guys tell me, I wouldn't know if it was more than mere marketing) - Miles recorded tons of better music in 1954. Here's Losin's entry on the 1955 set: http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=550717 It's been in circulation on Jazz Unlimited and more recently on a 2CD set by Storyville combining their two MD pd(/boot?) releases - the second disc of which has been surplussed by the TCB release of the 1960 Zurich concert (which I like quite some, though it's worlds apart from the tension of the Paris show or the Stockholm set - a very relaxed affair ...).

Looks like a bit of a ragbag ... wonder if that crosses out a 1971 tour release, but I surely hope not.

all the best! :party:

1951 - Arvell Shaw was in the band beginning of the year, but then he took a break and there were other subbing, Dale Jones for instance? Would love to say "I saw Cozy Cole perform" - what a wonderful drummer! Not to speak of Satchmo himself - drool!

Complete Prestige being? ... this: http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/the_complete_prestige_recordings_1956-1957_2-cd_set-cd-4919.html Then asking 40$ is a bit much unless you throw in "Tome VI" as well, but it's really none of my business

hope it was a good one!

Same here, no clue he had still been around. Always enjoyed those wacky trio sides by Krupa! r.i.p.

you're aware of the cheaper reissue of this? different packaging, but as far as I remember previous discussions here, including the booklet: http://www.amazon.com/Heavyweight-Champion-Complete-John-Coltrane/dp/B00E5R5TAA/ pay crap, get crap? (sorry, couldn't resist)

@JohnS: you should! Best you look for this CD, combining the Trane session with the Jubilee album Trane made as a sideman with Ray Draper: It also adds an alternate of "Exotica" to the Trane date - some specifics here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_Sonny

"Streams" (Impulse) would need some kind of real CD reissue as well. But I would (unknowingly) assume Impulse to be out of reach? Would love the tuba trios! And "Paragon", which I consider one of his very best. Less sure "Rendez-Vous" is really up to your (Jonathan's!) high standards, but a fine one it is. "Waves" is excellent, but probably too readily available? "Sizzle" and "The Quest" I don't know so far.

Yes on the Blake! And that Rivers I'd surely buy as well, in spite of having the LP. The Roscoe ... probably not, the Delmark CD is just fine for me.

They're a most reliable store, based on my experience - no reason not to go ahead and order there!

this one, too:

Wot?

No idea, but with Resonance it was recently similar. Not sure if the Wes Montgomery "In the Beginning" set is out yet in the US, but it was available at jazzmessengers.com several weeks (even months) ago.

btw, there are two editions it seems - the one for 10€ (which I have) is a regular jumbo jewel case with a tiny booklet (small print, thin paper, one essay by some French dude I never heard of, plus a note by Cuscuna, 8 or 12 pages max). Then there's a a somewhat more expensive edition, not properly labelled on evil A, but I guess that one's the 7" cardboard/deluxe edition (design likely similar to say the Elvis deluxe editions of recent years). Not sure if that has more extended notes or just larger print and more photos - anyone can shed some light there? Sticking to aFR, this is probably the "larger" edition: http://www.amazon.fr/Lady-Satin-Centennial-Billie-Holiday/dp/B00TTZPY12/ Note regarding the booklet says: "Livret 36 pages avec les contributions de Sebastian Danchin (auteur de Billie Holiday - le roman d'une rebelle) et de Michael Cuscuna (producteur de la réédition) abondante iconographie dont de nombreuses photos rares." Which has me believe there isn't any additional text, just photos and a nicer design.

btw, once more these are already available in Europe - look here: http://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/69296/jr-monterose/live-in-albany-1979 http://www.jazzmessengers.com/en/69297/billie-holiday/banned-from-new-york-city-live-1948-1957

are these new releases? wonder how they managed to get Grant Green and Horace Parlan back - as holograms? please someone merge with matching previous thread ...

Ha, missed congeniality there Thanks for sharing, Chuck!

Co-sign yup - r.i.p.

Well, all links in the European section seem to be dead - so there's that. Sir Winston's revenge, I guess, and right on time, too

The new Carter/Bradford certainly will be good enough for several months! But do we need an extra sub-forum, I don't know ... would only be useful, I guess, if some old threads got moved there as well.

Funky Blues! But yes, the entire set is very good!
