  1. Eric Dolphy - Muses (Marshmallow Export, MMEX159CD) Outtakes from the Iron Man session.
  2. Those two new discs are the 'Stolen Albums', dig?
  3. I'd like more of the pre Clifton Anderson era stuff, like the Polish concert on Vol. 1. After all, that was what was initially promised.
  4. I just resent having taken it seriously on multiple occasions. Turns out, it wasn't me after all.
  5. I'm of the opinion that practically all of Miles' eighties stuff is shit. Just felt like sharing this.
  6. €27,99 at Amazon.de for the 3 CD set. That's more like it.
  7. The original session reels have been located according to the Mosaic newsletter What a rare treat!Having worked on several editions of A Love Supreme in the CD era, I am amazed to find out that a set of the original session reels has been found and that all will be revealed on November 6, 2015 in a 3-CD set of the iconic work.Over the years, we were able to find scraps of the sextet version (of only one movement), from Coltrane's reference tapes unearthed by his son Ravi. I was able to supercede the damaged American master by finding a pristine second generation tape in London. But now the entire opus is extant and soon to be available. -Michael Cuscuna
  8. Then I prefer a plot where Ewan McGregor and Miles drive a flying car and discover the head of Columbia Records is a Sith Lord.
  9. Informed opinion based on actually watching the film? So the above description of the story made sense to you? It's a fictional story populated by some historical people. As Jim said above, "jazz fiction", I'm cool with that. So instead of hunting down semi-legal recordings by the 'Lost Quintet', people new to collecting Miles Davis will in the future be asking the man behind the counter for a copy of the 'Stolen Album'.
  10. I'am surprised you were ever interested given this post. Quote:"Coltrane and Ayler both put me to sleep - their music is like a lullaby, without fail. Even things like Ascension."
  11. The Blu-ray Audio is reasonably priced at the moment. Only, there is no mention of who mastered it and when on the back artwork. Like the booklet for the 2002 deluxe edition mentioned, Van Gelder worked with an excellent transfer made by French radio and it shows, but I would prefer to own a copy that is a bit less loud.

  13. I just gave the 2002 deluxe edition a spin for the first time in a long time, and that version of the live performance is probably good enough for me.
  14. That makes it EUR 14 extra for just the live disc. Instead of the reference mono version of just two tracks, they could have fit the excellent flat transfer of the stereo tape that was included on the Platinum SHM-CD on the first disc. That would have been value for money.
  15. I feel the A Love Supreme outtakes that were released previously, both with and without Shepp, were lacking. I felt the same about the Crescent alternate released on the Quartet box set. Now there is nothing wrong with releasing more/all of the outtakes this time, but the pre-order prices are exorbitant last I checked. This set is in need of an immediate steep drop in price. And the mastering better be outstanding.
  16. They should push it straight to the discount bin. Money grab.
  17. The clips didn't make me laugh, but this .... "The story follows Miles Davis (played by Cheadle), after his record label steals his comeback album before he’s ready for it to be heard, as he hunts it down with the help of a music journalist (played by Ewan McGregor)."
  18. HD Tracks 24 bit 192kHz download mastered by Bernie Grundman. Unfortunately not included in the 75th anniversary SHM-CD series.
  19. Another March 25, 2015 title has gone on 2 to 4 weeks at CD Japan: Don Cherry's Complete Communion.
  20. Chelsea 1- 3 Southampton Mourinho loosing it in post match interview. I love seeing the 'special one' suffer.
  21. Congratulations. That's a nice piece of hardware. Shows huge gains in sound quality are possible wisely spending a couple of hundred more without going all high end.
  22. Past Present is Scofield's best album since 2003's live trio album EnRoute.
  23. Bump.With price reduction: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sonny-Clark-Trio-Hybrid-SACD-Steve-Hoffman-mastered-near-mint-/171951801602?
  24. I believe it had to do with some people thinking Aloc created too many threads not relating to musical matters? Anyway, since Hans no longer posts here, you could always tweet Aloc the coast is clear.
  25. "The first set on Thursday clocked in just shy of two hours, with the first number [Cosmos] lasting an hour and a half." So, now that Universal "will kick off a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Verve label, which will include myriad catalog releases, digital exclusives and box sets through the end of 2016" with the release of A Love Supreme, The Complete Masters, we can look forward to Live in Seattle, The Complete Recordings sometime next year!
