  1. Soundtrack - I want to live! - Gerry Mulligan, Shelly Manne, Bud Shank, Art Farmer, Pete Jolly, Frank Rosolino, Red Mitchell. United Artists / KING!
  2. bright size life... -e- YES! One of my favorites. The Japan Gold Edition sounds fantastic.
  3. Correct. Sorry! Imaginary day was the last one I bought.
  4. André Previn, Shelly Manne & Red Mitchell - West Side Story CONTEMPORARY Records - yellow label - DG
  5. The last one from Metheny (Imaginary day) was a hugh disappointment. But The way up is a winner! Great music. The "cabriolet season" can start now!!!
  6. I only have one SKETCH release: Marc Copland & Gary Peacock - What it says It's a nice duo recording. Another independent bits the dust. Sad news indeed!
  7. There is no risk in ordering from Caiman. I received my Farlow set yesterday. It was well packaged and the delivery was fast - and without additional customs duty!
  8. Herb Ellis - Man with the guitar (Dot Records) Pete Jolly - 5 o'clock shadows (MGM)
  9. Apropos of Teutonic versions. I'm listening to The Roger Kellaway Trio at the moment. It's a german SABA issue - superb pressing and sound quality. SABA (Villigen, Schwarzwald) had produced lots of great original Prestige (et al) releases.
  10. I have another one: Roger Kellaway His Prestige LP The Roger Kellaway Trio (7399) together with Russell George (b) and Dave Bailey (dr) is a real pleasure. Highly recommended!
  11. Our Price $11.03 List Price $18.98 (You Save $7.95) Strange list price for a Mosaic Select!!!
  12. I have not heard this one yet but AMG did. Here is their 4-star review (by Matt Collar): Boundary-pushing pianist Jason Moran expands his sound yet again with a blend of modern electric and acoustic blues on Same Mother. Featuring longtime bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Nasheet Waits, Moran's seventh album also includes guitarist Marvin Sewell. An equally adventurous musician, Sewell adds a modern blues sound to Moran's usual mélange of post-bop, classical, New Orleans jazz, and funk. The results are raw, inspired, and frankly not wholly pleasing as Sewell's crisp acoustic attack does not always blend well with Moran's equally naked piano chops. However, for fans of both forward-thinking jazz and roots music, Same Mother — a conceptual nod to the unifying notion that we are all ultimately descended from one mother — holds considerable surprises. Notably, Moran's "Gangsterism On the Rise" is a bumptiously funky avant-garde ride, while his "G Suit Salvation" finds the group wading deep into softly experimental Pat Metheny waters. Similarly, the atmospheric, Arabic-influenced "Restin'" and "Field of the Dead" (which Moran deftly co-opts from Sergei Prokofiev's 1938 score for the Sergei Eisenstein film Alexander Nevsky) are darkly epic country-death ballads featuring Sewell's moaning acoustic slide guitar.
  13. Helen Merrill / Dick Katz - A shade of difference (Milestone) Art Pepper - "Smack up" (1st pressing - great sound!)
  14. PM for Redd!
  15. KEESTER PARADE - Kamuca & Touff (Pacific Jazz, 1st pressing) *****
  16. I usually hate commercial breaks. The new HP spot where Maxine Sullivan is singing 'Blue skies' is an exception. What a great singer - what a brilliant song!!!
  17. ... without being in the running low section first. Maybe the next "SPIEGEL Edition"?
  18. Jimmy Owens/Kenny Barron Quintet - you had better listen (Atlantic - 1st pressing) Brilliant music - terryfing cover!
  19. My copy of Unit structures has the NEW YORK USA labels. The VAN GELDER stamp is there but no signs of Plastilyte (as Chuck mentioned)! On the back cover is the 43 West 61st St., New York address. LIBERTY RECORDS, INC. is written on the front cover.
  20. The sermon! Midnight special Home cookin' Softly as a summer breeze Six views of the blues
  21. CHET BAKER LEAVING ORIGINAL GERMAN INTERCORD LP
  22. Hmmm. Maybe.....
  23. Mark Whitfield. I like his 1995 Verve release 7th Ave. stroll. Not many recording dates in recent times. Where is this guy?
  24. Thanks Ed for your review. I'm now pretty sure this Dinah box is not made for me! Speaking of Mercury/EmArcy releases I can recommend the Verve Master Edition releases to all who like pop-oriented material with orchestra/choir: What a difference a day makes! The swingin' miss "D" I sold both after a short listen. Because of it's very jazz-oriented style I'll never sell After hours wiss Miss D / Verve Master Edition, 2004. Highly recommended!
  25. IT IS a longbox similar to the BN Hancock or Gordon boxes.
