Great set! Listening to CD IV here.

PM on the Carmell Jones and Dizzy Reece.

Very sad to read this. RIP

Sending PM on Fats Waller.

You're very right about expectations interfering with the listening. I get the idea of recalibrating because it is still very enjoyable music.

Elvin Jones CD 5 - a little bit less of my liking than the beginning of the box

Gerald Wilson set CD1

Great show last year in Paris, and looking forward to this again. Amazing concept (the repertoire and the changing of the musicians every night).

Yes, and thank you! A little crowded with boxes right now but having the music to enjoy in the long term is great!

Chico Hamilton Quintet

Don Pullen - Evidence of Things Unseen

Happy birthday!

Great show on BBC 4 today: Un-forgetting Julius Eastman presented by vocalist Elaine Mitchener with interviews of Mary Jane Leach and George Lewis https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000112x

"Que reste-t-il de nos amours?" or "I wish I loved" (probably what Thom meant) which was indeed recorded by Getz/Barron in those sessions. Don't know the players here though. Quick general listen. Curious about that prog track on n°7 and the piano player. n°6 has a bit of the "My favorite things" rythm to it though obviously not that track

Excellent, thanks. Will compare this with the liner notes reproduced in Living With Jazz.

Up to CD6 on the Capitol, magical!

Cds 1 & 2; fantastic Jimmy Garrison

Yes, it almost feels like too many good things at a time. Unlike many of you, I didn't have the possibility to discover them as they came, but will now try to slowly catch up.
