I'm looking for a copy of this Corcord CD in mint condition (both CD and inserts). If you know how I can find one, please let me know. Thanks.

I just got Charlap's Venus CDs from Cadence. What great CDs, and what great service! I recommend the CDs very much -- especially "'S Wonderful" and "Blues in the Night". And Cadence is the place to get them. Given that these CDs cost 2,800 yen in Japan, Cadence is charging less than what the exchange rate demands.

Thanks for your responses. So, is this Cadence place reliable?

I think Bill Charlap has 2 or 3 trio albums under the name "New York Trio" on the Japanese Venus label with a bassist and a drummer other than the Washingtons. Is anyone familiar with these? What are they like? I once wrote to Blue Note suggesting that they release these in the US (the way that Sony is releasing some Japanese label recordings), and they responded by saying that it would be difficult for them to promote both Charlap's BN recordings and these Venus recordings.

Anyone familiar with these recordings? Are they jazzy? Or are they supposed to be straight classical recordings? Has anyone reviewed them? Thanks in advance for any reactions and/or references to reviews.

Thanks to all. Those comments are very helpful. I'll try the recording when I get a chance. In response to b3-er's "What gives?", I can't offer any argument as to why I think organs and e-pianos are bad in jazz recordings. It's been my experience that I just don't like them when I hear them in jazz recordings. But maybe I'll change my mind one of these days. I used to feel the same way about e-guitars. But Kenny Dorham's "'Round Midnight at Cafe Bohemia" changed that. Now, I really like some of Burrell, Johnny Smith, Farlow, G. Green, Jim Hall, etc.

I have a question some of you may consider silly. But I'm wondering how bad/distracting John Lewis's vocal sounds are on these recordings. I've heard from a couple of sources that this is a worry. I personally find Bud Powell's grunting tolerable and at times even enhancing. But I find Mingus's and Keith Jarrett's vocal sounds so distracting/pretentious/unnecessary that I find myself avoiding their recordings -- despite thinking that each of their music has much merit. I thought I should get some more reactions before trying to get these John Lewis CDs. Your help is appreciated.

Could someone tell me on how many tracks Moran plays just the acoustic piano, and on how many he plays e-piano or organ? I like Moran, but would like to avoid this if it is full of e-piano/organ playing. Thanks in advance.

Dmitry, Thanks a lot. Hope you enjoy the CD.

Would someone with this CD (with both disc and inserts in excellent condition) be willing to sell it to me for $23 (by PayPal)? Please contact me at: ktoh@umich.edu Thanks.

Many thanks.

Very helpful. Many thanks.

Could someone tell me on how many tracks Baker sings? I like his trumpet playing, but not his singing. I would like to have this information before I decide to buy this new re-issue. Thanks in advance.

Could someone tell me on how many tracks Chet Baker sings? I like Baker's trumpet playing, but am not a fan of his singing. Would like to have this information before I buy it. Thanks in advance.

Up for another exposure.

My Chico Hamilton set is unhinged too.

Has anyone dealt with this seller before? Do you think these are remainders?

Just sent you an e-mail regarding the Dorham TOCJ

Some weeks ago, I sent in suggestions for Selects of Bill Perkins and Bob Brookmeyer. "MC" wrote back saying that they are considering a Brookmeyer set, and that he will add Perkins to their list. I also suggested a Mariano set, but did not get a response on that. I have a couple of Mariano recordings from Bethlehem, and really like them. And Mariano sounds great on the Chaloff set. I would also like a set (Select or regular set) of Artie Shaw's Gramercy 5 band.

Thank you for your very helpful replies. I know many would disagree, but I just wish that organs were banned from jazz!!

I believe both organ and piano are played on this album. (That's what AMG says.) Does anyone know how many tracks have organ on them, and how many have piano? I really like Green's BN albums, and would like to try this Bethlehem title, but I'm just not a big jazz organ fan.

Sent you an e-mail.
