Here's a complete (?) list of the 2011 UCCI SHM-CDs on Impulse! — not just Coltrane titles, but others as well: UCCI 1015/6(2SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Live At Temple University 3200 (cancelled) UCCI 9191/5(5SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Live In Japan 7500 UCCI 9196/7(2SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Ballads 3000 UCCI 9198/9(2SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/A Love Supreme 3000 UCCI 9200/1(2SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Coltrane 3000 UCCI 9202(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Transition 1800 UCCI 9203(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Living Space 1800 UCCI 9204(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Sun Ship 1800 UCCI 9205(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/First Meditations 1800 UCCI 9206/7(2SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Live In Seattle 3000 UCCI 9208(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/OM 1800 UCCI 9209(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Meditations 1800 UCCI 9210(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Cosmic Music 1800 UCCI 9211(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Jupiter Variation 1800 UCCI 9212(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Stellar Regions 1800 UCCI 9213(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/Interstellar Space 1800 UCCI 9214(SHM CD) Coltrane,John(ts)/The Olatunji Concert 1800 UCCI 9216(SHM CD) Roach,Max(ds)/Percussion Bitter Sweet 1800 UCCI 9217(SHM CD) Fuller,Curtis(tb)/Soul Trombone 1800 UCCI 9218(SHM CD) Haynes,Roy(ds)/Out of The Afternoon 1800 UCCI 9219(SHM CD) Alexandria,Lorez(vo)/The Great 1800 UCCI 9220(SHM CD) Tyner,McCoy(p)/Today And Tomorrow 1800 UCCI 9221(SHM CD) Szabo,Gabor(g)/Gypsy '66 1800 UCCI 9222(SHM CD) Nelson,Oliver(as)/Sound Pieces 1800 UCCI 9223(SHM CD) Scott,Shirley(org)/Girl Talk 1800 UCCI 9224(SHM CD) Shepp,Archie(ts)/The Magic of Ju-Ju 1800 UCCI 9225(SHM CD) Sanders,Pharoah(ts)/Karma 1800 UCCI 9226(SHM CD) Jackson,Milt(vib)& Ray Brown(b)/Memphis Jackson 1800 UCCI 9227(SHM CD) Jamal,Ahmad(p)/The Awakening 1800 UCCI 9228(SHM CD) White,Michael(vn)/Spirit Dance 1800 UCCI 9229(SHM CD) Coltrane,Alice(p)/World Galaxy 1800 UCCI 9230(SHM CD) Shepp,Archie(ts)/Attica Blues 1800 UCCI 9231(SHM CD) Barbieri,Gato(ts)/Chapter One:Latin America 1800 UCCI 9232(SHM CD) Sanders,Pharoah(ts)/Love In Us All 1800 UCCI 9233(SHM CD) Brown,Marion(as)/Vista 1800 UCCI 9234(SHM CD) Lateef,Yusef(ts)/Club Date 1800 I wonder why the Temple University title was cancelled. Anyone here read anything about it?

I like how this Oliver Nelson thread has morphed into a discussion of disco. I'm there! For me, one of the finest disco records is Arthur Russell's 24-->24: If ever there were a case argued for "avant disco," this would be the record I'd put before the judge. Any fans of Russell here?

Sold! In the post tomorrow. Thanks.

I am letting go of my Elvin Mosaic. • box - like new • booklet - like new • 8 discs - like new (discs 7 and 8 still sealed) • $230, includes U.S. shipping • International shipping at cost • PayPal OK

Correct. The Japanese disc is in (exquisite) stereo. (Album cover above for illustrative purposes only. ) "Elegy for A Duck" — Ron Carter and Grady Tate are The Dang on that track. Really something else.

True. My experience with Maximum Rare Records of Japan (ftfym65), however, has been hit-or-miss. This seller doesn't necessarily have all the items he lists as in stock. He does have rare discs — no question there — but if you're ordering (buy-it-now) a disc that's, say, from two years ago — e-mail first to check that it's actually in stock. Just a heads-up for those posting here. I'm not discouraging shopping with Maximum Rare; I'm just trying to prevent some (potential) frustration for members here. I have purchased a few SHM-CDs from this seller without problem. Shipping is slow though. In contrast, the credit card purchase goes through right away.

Fans of Mr. Garnett need to hear Andrew Hill's Lift Every Voice. Even if you don't like jazz choirs. (Sorry; not on Muse.)

Yes. Oh yes.

Whoa. I just finished listening to the entirety of UCCI 9222 — the 2011 Japanese SHM-CD edition of this record. I must say: this is one of the best CDs I have ever heard. So many things could go wrong — and didn't — with the mastering of this album. A big band — heck, an orchestra! A fairly close-miked soprano saxophone. Result? There are no ear-splitting peaks (highs), the dynamic range is huge (loud to very quiet), and Nelson's soprano is beautifully recorded, with much "air" around the horn. I experienced no noticeable ear fatigue, even at high volume. It was an absolute delight listening to this small plastic platter. This recording might also qualify as having the best recorded sound Ron Carter has ever received from a microphone. Who knew?!

No. This current issue is its first appearance as a single compact disc. It sounds great in this SHM-CD incarnation. Carpe! (Even if you're not a fan of Steve Ellington.)

This: http://www.jazzlists.com/SJ_Label_Prestige_7000.htm is a helpful site that simplifies and categorizes most (all?) of the issued Prestige recordings (along with other labels). It has that functional "at-a-glance" utility that allows one to see what LPs were from what series.

Bill Pierce is so-so on it, but it has some of Wallace Roney's best live playing from the period. The McCartney cover is dispensable, but the rest is a good gig.

Original cover?

I'm looking forward to the Prestige 7100 SHM-CD series (if there is one). Two reasons (at least): Beautifully recorded. Has Frank Wess. Has Paul Quinichette. Also some guy by the name of Coltrane. Jackie. And the Coltrane guy again.

My favorite: Kunst Bauer (i.e. Art Farmer) on Teo Macero's What's New?

And if you could settle for vinyl, there are even more ... And all along, I never knew "Victor" was short for Victoria. The bikini explains ... West Coast Jazz?

Hits the streets tomorrow.

Carpe. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONNY-CLARK-TRIO-THE-45-SESSIONS-CD-JAPAN-IMPORT-SEALED-TOCJ-1617-/360861956434?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item54050c7952

Yes. Strange Blues.

True. That said, I especially wouldn't want to be without any of the McLean titles. Jackie's work for Prestige/New Jazz unfairly gets overlooked in relation to his output for Blue Note. Makin' The Changes is a particular favorite. Did anyone else here notice that there's a new UCCO (prefix) reissue line coming out in May? They're not SHM-CDs, however. Later Prestige titles, including Bobby Timmons' session with Wayne Shorter.

Found it! http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/artist_Terry-Pollard_000000000152625/item_Terry-Pollard-Rmt-Ltd_5687161

I first read about the trio with Richard Davis and Joe Chambers in 1996. I always wondered what that trio would sound like. Now we have a chance to at least hear it. Is Juanita Giuffre still with us? I dig her painting "Yggdrasil" — I believe it was supposed to be the cover art for Free Fall, and then was relegated to postage-stamp size. Now if we could hear the Giuffre-Don Pullen-Cecil McBee trio ... (I know; too greedy).

Where did you read this? (Not doubting, just wondering about the source.) Two of my all-time favorite improvisers. I wouldn't think to put them together, but who knows ...

Nice to have Chappaqua Suite out in a new Japanese edition. Plus — Errol Garner's Paris Impressions. I have both pre-ordered.
