so we finally know who's the real... I love him! His playing seems to be so chock-full of joy! Favorites: - the dates of the Kelly trio with Wes (complete on that Wes twofer "Impressions: the Verve Jazz sides" or similar) - the Miles in europe live recordings from when Stitt replaced Trane. I love Miles on that, and I think the departure of Trane and the new, much more mellow sound of Stitt led not only to let Miles play harder, take over the role of the "challenger", but also led to a new axis between Miles and Kelly. - then of course the Miles/Mobley/Kelly/Chambers/Cobb trio - all they recorded. I love it all! The Blackhawk stuff would maybe be on top of the list, but I always did love the Carnegie concert, and Someday My Prince Will Come is a great album, too! (And don't forget Kelly's got a short spot on Kind of Blue, too!) - of his leader stuff, I have virtually nothing, but Kelly Blue is a real good one, in my opinion. Maybe one of my favorite hard bop discs, though Golson adds a touch which is more subtle than "your usual hardbop". ubu

I guess you all have this one, but as I recently got it and love it very much, I thought I'd nevertheless mention it here: A great GREAT record! ubu

Currently listening to it. The info posted by PDEE makes perfect sense, it seems thanks again, ubu

Hey, I think I cannot offer any help regarding place & girl... and I most probably won't be able to make that concert. Sorry! However, they're quite active, and there will certainly be another chance to catch them. ubu

Thank, GA. Another one I've got my eye on is the Quartets disc. That would sure be a nice addition to the material with Al Haig and Horace Silver on disc one of the Roost box. ubu

http://www.churchofgrob.com/Churchofgrob/grobhome.html Looks like they got some good things out! The only one I do know it the Stephan Wittwer disc. Artists include Brötzmann, Steamboat Switzerland, Derek Bailey, Elliott Sharp, John Butcher, Phil Minton et.al. This one seems particularly interesting: http://www.churchofgrob.com/Churchofgrob/C...39/grob539.html ubu

oh, I think they have been brought to sibiria because they did *pervert* grrreazze! See more on them here: http://www.marinopliakas.com/steamboatswitzerland "hammond avantcore trio" is quite a good denominator, I think. They are based in the german part of switzerland, but I have no idea where exactly. Upcoming live gig: Rote Fabrik, Zurich, December 7. Check out the website (and those of the three bandmembers) for more. ubu

That's the one I meant in my post above (which was not too clear, alright). Quite a fun tune to listen to! ubu

Then there is that one tune with Sonny Stitt first issued in the BN box. ubu

The first album has two bonus tracks, the Conn is quite a full one anyway, and the Jordan has one or two bonus tracks, too (one being a trio track, which, in a Select, might be omitted, alas), so it's more than just 5x40 minutes. ubu

Here's another with Drew I do like: http://www.tcb.ch/tcb.cgi?list=style|artis...RDON+BADEN+1972 Kenny Drew; piano; Bo Stief, bass; Ed Thigpen, drums. Dexter on two tunes, Ben on two, and both together on two more. ubu

Hellyeah! And you forgot to remind me of actually voting... ubu

Thanks, Mike. I got these couw-covers, seems it would be time to take them out once again and have a look at them. So it's the session with Hawk, Gryce, Copeland, yes? Hopefully I have not yet gotten rid of all my single Monk OJCs... ubu

I think I'd go with Drew, too! I love those Montmartre dates, the one he's on on Blue Note (Dexter Calling), and also Daddy Plays the Horn. ubu

Thanks for that link, Chaney! I did not know this at all, sure a site to check from time to time ubu

I would think that we've got more than a little hope; it seems as though Reece's BNs are perfect for the Select concept-too few for a full scale box but too obscure for a regular box set or really many regular reissues. Why not drop them a couple of requests? It's been some time since I did (that was right after the concept of the Selects came public, I think) I guess without the Duke Jordan album, it would perfectly fit on three discs. With the Jordan added, it might be a 4CD select. ubu

There's an online Getz discography which should help to find the Fantasy/OJC discs (on the jazzdisco.org site, which I cannot load right now). I've got the Roost (one of my favorite box sets!) and "Plays", so far. ubu

Д.Д.: have you ever heard Steamboat Switzerland? One of the best GREEAZE trios here! Check them out if you have a possibility! ubu

Yes, you're absolutely right! Turrentine & Reece were a great frontline! I love the Duke Jordan album! How nice it would be to have a neat little 3CD select with all of Dizzy Reece's BN dates, and as an added bonus that Jordan one... ubu

Now what sort of reference point should this be "ho ho"? Pleeaze explain, dear gentleman! ubu

By the way, some time ago I emailed Mosaic about a Reece Select and MC answered something like they think about doing it... not very specific, but there's still some hope! ubu

Hey, send me a copy if you find one I have all the other Reece Blue Notes and love them very much! But Soundin' Off seems to be not exactly easy to find. I never heard it. Hope there will be a reissue some day... Good comments you make on Reece's sound and lines ubu

NOW THERE COME THIS MUDDAFUCKN RUSSIAN AND KNOWS WERTHMÜLLER WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT DRUMMER TO FIT ON OUR FAVORITE HANK MOBLEY RECORDS... HOLY SHIT!! ubu START SCREAMIN' HELL YEAH! Welcome to the board! Great you made it over here, finally (well, you can't say I did not invite you earlier...) ubu

I don't have these two, but Branford's The Dark Keys is also nice to listen to, from time to time. ubu

How about a new original on the Organissimo Tribute CD "Turd-Uck-En Blues"? This is one of those discussions which makes me feel happy about being an old european... ubu
