No one has the Rivers or (I hardly dare thinking this!) no one LIKES it? ubu

might have been one of those "you know the deal" deals... ubu

Lacy will play here in two weeks. Solo. Will go there if I can! ubu

I also did some research on this one. No chance, it seems, to find it for a reasonable price whatsoever ubu

That's one of those funny-as-hell moments! Same goes with Alfred Lion! Zat zwings, Herr Löwe! Was quite a shock when I heard JEB on that disc for the first time! And thanks for checking the dates. However, still not certain those tracks are not identical. Knowing the playing time of the tracks on the Koller disc would help, but amazon.de lists nothing, and allmusic has none of these MPS albums listed. ubu

don't exaggerate! You might add another Hal Russell album to your order? ubu

And check out the interplay of Hancock and Carter on STANDARDS! The Billie Holiday tune they do is plain beautiful! ubu

While amazon.de does list it as OOP, you seem to be able to order it directly via the ECM homepage. I never ordered from them directly, and the prize is certainly a proud one, but if their shipping conditions are alright, it might be digestable. http://www.ecmrecords.com/ecm/recordings/1122.html ubu

Let's hope these are two different sessions! What's the Jan.9 date from AMG? An inaccuracy? Maybe there was some sort of deal - you play my date, and I play yours or something? Sure was a small world, and most of these things then evolved around the late J.E. Behrendt probably. ubu

You know, sometimes it's a nice experience to miss the point... ahem... B) ubu

SAM RIVERS - PORTRAIT (FMP, rec 1995) He plays some flute and piano, too, and uses his voice to bridge the "gaps" when he changes his instrument. great, great, great, great! ubu

Indeed I did! -_- Sorry, sidewinder. And also, I thought you meant the Walton/Cliff Jordan Boomer's... I did not know about there being Live at Boomer's albums by Art Farmer. Thanks for the recommendation! ubu

a question re: the quartet tracks on the following record: These tracks are NOT from the Vienna Blues O.P. dates, aren't they? "Blues in the Closet" and "The Gentle Art of Love" are on that one, too, but AMG (can't check with my LP or CD) gives January 9 and 12 as the dates. So: are these more tracks with the same (marvellous, I might say!) line up? Edit: AMG for Pettiford, Vienna Blues ubu

Thanks, sidewinder. However, West Wind is a rip off label, as far as I know, no? And they are not distributed over here... Night at Boomers: there's a one CD comp (quite a full CD) on 32jazz. You saw that one or the Muses (two volumes)? ubu

Yep, I think they meant this one. Real nice groove indeed! How about something real old fashoned, like "Sentimental Journey"? "Moontrane", sure! I'll buy this disc, too! ubu

I already tried that, too... Good choice! Though I'll most probably listen to the Mosaic, and not (yet?!) pick up the new Conn, I'll enjoy hearing it again! Great album, great band, and one of the most individualist sax players of the era! ubu

Very nice indeed. I have an old vinyl copy. It is a 1970 session recorded with Jimmy Heath (who plays quite a bit on soprano, 'The Gap Sealer' being a good example) and Fritz Pauer (frequent collaborator with Farmer). Nice versions of 'Con-Fab' and a Tom McIntosh composition (which eludes me for the moment).Anyone who likes 'PhD' and 'Blame It On My Youth' will probably like this one too.. it is in the same relaxed but very 'moody' style. Thanks. I have so far very few of Farmer's post-Atlantic recordings, and like those. I guess I have to start picking these up as long as they're not too many... ubu

I thought so. Did not yet buy any of these. All those Koller things sound interesting too! The little I have heard of it (the Vienna Blues Pettiford date, those tracks on the saxophone collection vogue disc) are pretty good. Anyone has comments on the Farmer? ubu

And the list of as yet available MPS reissues: ubu

Some news, taken from AAJ (see link above):

EKE, no need! I forgot about AMG... The Proper has all masters, so the only tracks missing are alternate takes of When A Woman Loves A Man, After You've Gone, and Liza. I don't think there's need to get the Classic Early Solos disc for me, then! ubu

I got the copy protected one, too. Picked it up for around 10 $ - could not let that deal pass! The usual Conn price here being around 22-23$... I thought this way I can hear that date now, and pick up a real CD version online later... It's a good one. Jim assessment makes sense to me, also the thought (uttered by Shrdlu, I think), about the absence of Al Lion maybe being part of the "problem". Certainly a disc I will listen to again! ubu

Thanks for the Proper recommendation. I picked it up recently, had no time to listen yet, though. EKE, as I know you do have the Verve/Decca disc, can you tell me whether (and if so, what exactly) it includes stuff not included in the Proper box (see the Proper disco above in this thread)? thanks, ubu
