Marcus, Just sent a reply back. Thanks. And please send me your Texas address again.

Marcus, Could you let me know whether you've got my messages? Thanks.

Yes, I did, and responded last night. I'll try again. Let me know if it does not work.

I was just listening to Schickele Mix on the local NPR station, and Schickele played this very nice chamber music piece written by Mulligan. Mulligan plays in the first movement jazz style, and then a group of classical wind players play the second movement. It was very very nice. Does anyone know about this piece and in which album it is in? I've just quickly looked through some discography available on the web, but could not locate it.

Once again, Lon, thanks for being so helpful. By "GRP Decca", do you mean the 2-CD set put together by Keepnews?

I have the Legacy releases of Satchmo's Hot 5's & 7's. I would like to try some slightly later recordings -- 30's and early to mid 40's recordings. I don't know where to start. It seems that his Decca recordings are rather poorly packaged in the things available in the market. Am I wrong? Is there some compilation that would be a good place to start? I would prefer more small group recordings, and not big bands. How are the CDs on the French Classics label? Any responses would be appreciated.

Hello. Sent you an e-mail message about "'Bout Soul" and "In Between" TOCJs.

Can anyone give me some info regarding this album? Musicians, instruments, years, quality, etc.? Thanks in advance.

Any opinions on these recordings? Thanks in advance.

The set was recorded in 1954 and released by Music Masters in 1993, I believe. I would appreciate any help in locating it in an excellent condition. ( I would like to get the original release, rather than a club issue.) Thanks.

Sorry. I guess I should have done a search. I was feeling so smart and helpful!!

It seems that these two albums are being re-issued by Hat Hut. http://www.hathut.com/midprice.html

I've just acquired this CD. Unfortunately, it has no session notes. I am wondering if anyone has the session information (dates and musicians), or can direct me to a site that lists them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. The booklet has a cover which is a picture of a Brunswick label for "Blues In C Sharp Minor" that lists the following musicians: Roy Eldridge (tp), Sidney Catlett (ds), Leon Berry (ts), Robert Lassie (g), Buster Bailey (cl), Israel Crosby (B), Teddy Wilson (p) The track listing is as follows: 1. I'll See You In My Dreams 2. Tea For Two 3. Fine And Dandy 4. Sweet Lorraine 5. Mary Had A Little Lamb 6. Too Good To Be True 7. Blues In C# Minor 8. Warming Up 9. Who Loves You 10. These N'That N'Those 11. Eeney Meeny Meiny Mo 12. With Thee I Swing 13. Sugar Plum 14. Things Are Looking Up 15. Rhythm In My Nursry Rhymes 16. Sailin'

Hmmm... Thanks everyone for your replies. I will think about this. In any case, even if I do get the box set, I won't get it any time soon. Too many CD purchases in the last couple of weeks. Need to slow down for the sake of decency.

Alas, I think DrJ was right. I'm really enjoying the Holiday Columbia CDs I got. And today I was at a B&N, and was salivating at the sight of the Legacy box set. I really didn't want this. The 4 CDs I got contains 72 tracks. Do you think the box set is worth the money? I think it has 200 some tracks.

Thanks for being so concerned, Lon!!

Tentative verdict: very good. I actually bought the newest 24-bit remasters (4 CDs) from Legacy. I bought all 4 of them because I had a 20% coupon at Borders, and thought I will open and listen to one of them and return the others if I did not like the one. Well, I liked vol. 2 enough to open the others yesterday, and so far I really like these. I am still not completely won over by Billie Holiday's voice and her mannerisms. But they are more attractive here than on the Commodores. And at times, she is very charming. More importantly, the sidemen are just amazing. They are the chief attractions for me. And I have to say that Holiday, unlike many singers, really interact well with her sidemen. I can tell that I will like these more and more. And I'm not having any problem with the sound quality of these CDs -- even without adjusting my trebles. They sound very full and warm. These sessions contrast with and complement nicely the Goodman RCA small group sessions that I have. And Teddy Wilson is just an amazing anchor or frame (or whatever metaphor you want) on all these sessions. Now, I'm thinking of getting a Mildred Bailey CD. I think there is a new one from Legacy. I wish Columbia or Mosaic would put out box sets of Teddy Wilson sessions. Benny Goodman small group sessions, and Basie small group sessions. Those would be very nice.
