And there's a very good ECM album featuring Rudd, led by Enrico Rava. I think it's just called "Enrico Rava Quartet". Two brass, two rhythm. ubu

Flexible Flyer was on CD by Black Lion. I found it new recently. Love it, LOVE IT, HELL, LOVE IT!! "Everywhere" may be still found on that disc by Cecil Taylor, "mixed", which holds the three Taylor tracks from the Gil Evans "Into The Hot" album, and Rudd's "Everywhere". A superb album, indeed! "Live in San Francisco" and "Mama Too Tight" are my favorite Archie Shepp albums. I do like Shepp, yet Rudd adds very much to them! ubu

Yes, very good choice! btw, I picked up that Lyons disc this week, no chance to listen yet, but it sure makes a nice addition to the new (and yet unheard, too) Lyons box set! ubu

ubu confus! My "Stan Getz presents Jimmie (sic!) Rowles - The Peacocks" CD IS from the "Jazz Original Series". Were there several CD reissues of this one? ubu

I like it quite well. Interesting line up, good tunes (another Massey fan here). ubu

My collection is not strong on early Prez, but I would heartily recommend that Kansas City disc, as well as the Complete Aladdin set (available from Blue Note, two CDs). The later Verve recordings are a mixed bag, yet I like many of them very much. The box is sure NOT the place to start with Young, but it includes some sessions not (yet?) available as single CD reissues (those quartet dates with John Lewis and Gildo Mahones). ubu

Thanks, Claude. Here in Switzerland it sells for around 80-90 Euros, too... You think zweitausendeins will get it? ubu

Hell, and humbe ubu thinks this is one of the smoking'est, greaziest dates by Jimmy Smith! Get it, even if you have to let them fly it in from the moon or some other strange place... ubu

Michel, knowing you're an organ fan, I'd hunt that Criss down! You get Georges Arvanitas playing organ (and piano) there! I don't have the disc at hand, but I like it very much! And yes, get the Saxophones disc, too, if you like Criss. You get some more Arvanitas on organ (and piano, again), and besides a nice session by the Michel de Villers Octet, you get three sublime Hubert Fol tracks. ubu

Found a nice review (http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/fridayrevie...1069232,00.html):

or that:

how 'bout this one?

This one smokes indeed! When reading the title of this topic, I immediately thought about Cannonball, but could not make up my mind about one album. The Lighthouse one is very soulful, too! Or the Jazzworkshop album. And how about Milt Jackson, "Plenty, plenty soul"? ubu

This does indeed wet my appetite, EKE! I hope I will be able to make it! ubu

Not to discourage you, but my experience is that Amazon.de is very slow in updating their files as far as unvailability of CDs is concerned. They stop backordering after some time and do not notice a title is deleted until someone orders them. This happened to me several times ... I know this! Hell I know I'm still waiting for some orders to be deleted... Yet it might be worth a try. ubu

Cool link, Bev! Will have to read it when I find time! ubu

amazon.de seems to be a possible way to go. They still list 65 hits for a "jazz in paris" search. ubu

and there was the marvellous Rowles/Getz "The Peacock"... great one to have! ubu

Thanks, brownie! I'll check as soon as I find time to listen to this album again! ubu

Thanks, Mike! Sounds good to me. I don't have the video either. Will have to listen to it as soon as I can - I really enjoy this album! ubu

Thanks, guys! And thank you, Mike! I hope this will clear it up! ubu

Wouldn't they make up a very nice Mosaic Select ?!? ubu

I love the Nessa set, too! I've had it for several years (it was one of my first Trueblue purchases). Otherwise, I've not yet started continuing my AEOC exploration very much further. I picked up a CD reissue by 1201, called "Spiritual", and then that italian magazine called "Musica Jazz" (I don't know whether it still exists, it's been several months since I last saw it) had a concert (one of the last ones with Bowie, but without Jarman) added to one number. ubu

Yeah, that was "Helen Merrill aka Jelena Ana Miketic" - sublime indeed! And "You And The Night And The Music" as well as "Brownie" were very good, too! I do like her voice on the later records just as well as on the earlier ones (of which I have only the sides with Brownie, and then those Milestone (?) albums reissued on Universal). You might check out "Music Makers" (Owl, as I get it, these are distributed in the US by Sunnyside, but I don't know about it) - it features her with Gordon Beck (with whom she made a good album of duos, also for Owl) and Steve Lacy or Stephane Grappelli (one per side of the original record). ubu

So this means I gotta run and pick up all not protected I can find!?!?! I rather stop eating and renting a flat yesterday than today... HELL! Why they do this!? Is there any place where one can make complaints about this shit? I mean, the salespersons in stores here don't even realize that they are not selling compact discs anymore but those darned... (neither do they realize what a piece of **** those definitive reissues are. They carry them, and they even sell them for full prizes... holy cow!) ubu
