Big fan here! CBBB indeed - one of the mainstays, also on plenty of small group dates! Not quite sure if it really was the very first time I heard him, but I totally love his solo on "Bakai", the opener of Coltrane's first album! A complete musician!

Hm, thought Universal took over the jazz parts of EMI? It's not that simple then, it seems ... never is. The Django isn't really essential in light of the other options there are to get his recordings, the Vaughan runs the gamut from rather horrible commercial stuff to - indeed! - divine singing and great music.

Seems this is the only Henze thread we've got here ... I know it's the obit thread, but ... Glue alert on the DG box! Just got mine and one disc had glue stuck on it that could just about be removed without damage - and several of the cardboard covers made me feel there might be more damage eventually - so I took out all the discs and stuck them into paper sleeves. The box luckily is large enough to hold them even without having to adjust/cut the sleeves and stick them back into the slots, instead I just placed them inside the foldouts.

another cube coming up, first of three, it seems, see blurb from amazon.co.uk below - amazon.de has the best pre-order price currently (83€) This 50CD set is dedicated to L’Oiseau-Lyre’s founding commitment – the music of the Baroque. It contains a range of acclaimed, pioneering recordings that testify to the curiosity and ambition of an iconic label.

I wonder: will it still contain the thick booklet with notes on each and every sonata? I've not really immersed myself into this ... so far rather played the three Pierre Hantaï discs (the fourth, or rather first, on naïve, is here now, too ... part of the nice recent box set) and some old piano interpretations (Horowitz, Ciccolini et al.) I did get the Davis/Berlioz, Böhm and Sawallisch sets in the meantime, btw (didn't order the others, for Jochum I've got the ICON, not that interested - so far, at least - in Chailly and Barenboim).

ordered - thanks for the bump!

Valid points ... but in light of combos like the Art Tatum and Nat Cole Trios or the glorious Bechet/Spanier Big Four (or the Hot Five), this is more about chronology and developments in jazz than about validity of concept, isn't it? I mean sure, Giuffre (or Brooks - I'm not familiar with any of his work besides the Alabama album with Cannon) raised the bar for everyone *after* him, but there was a time before, too

Happy Birthday, Steve! You are allowed to not put your shirt tails into your trousers today

I don't usually take photos during concerts - I like to focus on listening (or on wandering thoughts if the music fails to totally grab me), but this was the second time I caught Randy Weston (at Moods, Zurich, 9 April 2014) and when Billy Harper did his somewhat too cutesy solo number (the same as on the 2013 duo album) I kinda without taking notice grabbed my phone and took these two or Weston sitting there, relaxed but still focused.

guess Tatum solo applies, too ... a whole orchestra

just ordered both that and the Root/Tanno - nice international shipping charges there, about half the usual ones or even less!

amazon.it has some very good prices for various Universal boxes currently ... Colin Davis - Berlioz: Complete Orchestral & Sacred Works - € 27.99 The Art of Wolfgang Sawallisch - € 26.99 Böhm - The Symphonies - € 33.99 Eugen Jochum - The Symphonies - € 27.71 The Art of Daniel Barenboim - € 25.99 The Art of Riccardo Chailly - € 25.99 There are more ... and with some of 'em you get an additional 20% discount if you order two items from the list of items on which you get 20% when you order two items from the list of items on which you get 20% when you order two items from the list of items on which you get 20% when you order two items from the list of items on which you get 20% when you order two items from the list of items ... dig?

Thanks for passing by and sharing, Eric! Wish I had that Capozzoli's disc ... got to look for it, grabbed three of them by others (Bill Perkins, Don Menza, Gabe Baltazar/Eddie Bert) from the bins many years ago. Guess the Root/Tanno wasn't there as I'm quite sure I was hip to Root by then.

surprise slide inside? uhm, not sure I wanna know ....

50s and 60s ... but as far as live music goes, it's the present, of course

Thanks a lot!

The Brownie is, I can confirm that - has been confirmed here as well, I think, but I know from a few others (on another discussion board) who bought it. Which Ellington do you mean, the "Early Ellington", I presume? Looks like with their own (i.e. GRP/Verve/Universal) sets they do include full booklets when they're not as huge as the ones of the original Lady Day or Bud Powell or Bill Evans boxes ... it seems the Keith Jarrett box also contains the liner notes and photos of the original two smaller sets.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks guys! Sorry the site was offline, but I thought on a royal party that was only fitting

Thanks a lot, everyone!

more Bill Evans ... not too familiar with this box set so far, but I'm lovin' it!

lotsa music from the rusty sucker - no sonic issues to my lousy ears, whatsoever ... been listening to the sessions that ended up (partly) on the albums "Empathy", the Gary McFarland album, "Trio 64", "Stan Getz & Bill Evans", "The Bill Evans Trio Live", "Trio '65", "Bill Evans Trio at Town Hall Volume One", and now I'm into the "California Here I Come" material. Will wrap it up with "At Montreux Jazz Festival" in the end.

Almost, but not quite

Well, they could do lotsa bit boxes using Blue Note, ex Fantasy and other stuff ... they could even group all official Mogie albums in one place now ... not sure any of it will happen though. While I don't mind big boxes with classical, where I tend to listen work- or artist-based, I feel the notion of albums in jazz isn't that a bad one, after all ... sure, I love chronological listening and complete sessions and stuff, but still so much of the music at debate here has been around on single discs and so many of us bought so many of 'em ... is there really much of a market? I'd not go for a Jug box even if the one or two I still miss aren't around on CD or would cost more than usual. Just makes no sense, really. And it seems the market is so much smaller (compared to classical) that "but there are so many newbies who don't have the music" is likely no point ... not sure today's newbies want cheapo box-sets anyway.
